Guardian

We have made significant improvements to Awakening Guardian, a class that wields powerful two-handed weapons to deal damage to enemies. In today's update, we have focused on enhancing the damage output and combo potential of the skills, further emphasizing the iconic Jordun weapon. Two key skills, Dragon's Maw and Flow: Howling Light, have undergone substantial revamps to better align with their intended concepts and perform effectively in various combat scenarios. Previously, the Dragon's Maw skill had a limitation where it did not apply Knockdown effects when hitting distant enemies with a frontal attack. We addressed this issue by expanding the skill's range and introducing a sweeping motion, allowing the Guardian to knock down enemies with a satisfying swinging sensation. Furthermore, the flow skill Flow: Howling Light has also been adjusted to complement the modified Dragon's Maw skill. It now inflicts extensive additional damage in line with the enhanced “Dragon's Maw” and incorporates the mesmerizing effect of Jordun's Flame. This combination serves to further amplify the Guardian's imposing presence and leave a lasting impression on adversaries.
