Lahn

Awakening Lahn has increased damage for some of her main skills such as Flow: Vice, Bridled Despair, Taunting Death, and Flow: Mangler. In addition, the damage of Earthly Pain, Blood Moon Twist, Eradication, and Taunting Death has been increased to fill the times when Furor is on cooldown while defeating monsters. The damage of Blood Moon Twist was significantly improved and made it possible to combo with more skills than before. When it is used with the newly improved Eradication, she will be able to combo with even more skills. With the increased damage of skills and the improvements made to skill combos, we hope to see a larger variety of skills used to defeat monsters.
