Patch Notes v0.54

Skill Changes

• [Adjusted] 3rd Job Hero (Crusader)

  • Removed Panic & Coma (Sword/Axe). These skills no longer fit modern gameplay and saw little to no use.
  • Introduced Slash Blade – a toned-down version of Brandish, giving Crusaders a reliable multi-target option during 3rd job.
  • This change allows players to fully invest in their 3rd job kit without wasting points on outdated skills.

  New Skill – Heroic Blessing: Grants all party members a 10% EXP bonus. This effect stacks with other EXP buffs such as Holy Symbol, Linked Fortune, and EXP Coupons. Introduces meaningful party utility for Heroes, making them more desirable in grinding parties.

• [Adjusted] 3rd Job Paladin All Weapon Charges (Fire, Ice, and Lightning) now have a Master Level of 15 (down from 30), allowing full access to all charge types in 3rd job. This removes weapon-type restrictions (Sword/Hammer), giving greater flexibility instead of locking you into a single option.

• [Adjusted] 3rd Job Dragon Knight

  • Removed weapon restrictions from Dragon Fury and Crusher.
  • Removed duplicate skills (Spear/Polearm variants) since weapon-specific versions are no longer needed.
  • Dragon Fury (Spear/Polearm) → unified into Dragon Fury
  • Spear/Polearm Crusher → renamed to Dragon Impale
  • Increased Dragon Fury attack range to improve its viability as a primary farming skill in 4th Job This change improves balance for Dark Knights by removing the incentive to** lock into a single weapon type**, and builds on the 2nd Job Mastery changes introduced in Part I of this dev blog.

• [Adjusted] Sword, Axe, Mace, Polearm, and Spear Weapon Mastery & Booster now scale up to Master Level 10 (instead of 20), allowing more flexibility to use multiple weapon types instead of being locked into just one.

• [Adjusted] Warrior’s Power Strike now features a new animation and will activate using LT/RB with increased range.

• [Added] New Skill Effect & Icon -> Arrow Blow, Double Stab & Power Strike.

• [Imported] New skill effects and icons for Somersault Kick (range increased).

• [Adjusted] Bandit’s Steal → renamed to Death Stab, with a new icon, updated effects, and increased range.

• [Adjusted] Magic Claw (1st Job Mage) now hits up to 3 targets once (instead of 1 target twice).

  Master Level 20: Base damage reduced from 40 → 25.

• [Adjusted] Warrior’s Slash Blast now features a new animation and activates via LT/RB, with increased range.

• [Adjusted] Flame/Ice Stride (2nd Job Mage buff) now applies a Speed Boost (similar to CPQ Speed Up) to all monsters on the map, including newly respawned ones, while active.
