New Additions and Improvements
The Warrior's resilience in combat has been significantly enhanced, allowing for the continuation of battles and the chaining of skill combos, even when outnumbered. In the case of Succession, Warrior can now move laterally while in Succession: Guard, reducing instances where Prime: Evasion was intended to be used but was performed after the guard was released due to late key input. Furthermore, after Floating enemies with Prime: Counter, Warrior can now approach the opponent and continue the combo. As for the Awakening, Burning Moxie has been revamped to intensify the Warrior's attacks based on the number of surrounding enemies.Main & Succession
