---

Awakening

Soul Harvest

• Fixed the abnormally long delay incurred on hits.

Kunoichi

Moon Storm and Sah Spree of Sonan skills were frequently utilized during PvE due to their Recover HP effect, but their actual damage was quite low. We've adjusted the damage of Sah Spree of Sonan upwards to match its longer casting time due to its segmented casting motion. For Moon Storm, we've increased the damage to ensure it deals significant damage at the start of a PvE combo when applying debuffs. We also changed Flow: Pinwheel Fury to now be comboed after other skills, as the skill would have your character appear before the caster to attack when activated, thus making it difficult to aim in the intended direction. To address this inconvenience, we decided to increase its damage so that you can deal considerable damage in any direction upon use.

Awakening

Moon Storm

• Changed the damage as follows.

Before	After
Spin attack damage 1103%/1254%/1544% x8 Down slash attack damage 1103%/1254%/1544% x5 Damage -70%/70%/70% in PvP only	Spin attack damage 1302%/1480%/1822% x8 Down slash attack damage 1302%/1480%/1822% x5 Damage -74.6%/74.6%/74.6% in PvP only

Nova

The Awakening Nova has a unique feature of managing skills separately in Accel and Normal states. To build on this characteristic, we've improved the overall damage of key Accel skills, ensuring a more definitive performance when entering the Accel state than before. Also, to ensure that the existing skill combos are not significantly affected, the cooldown of the Starfall skill has been adjusted to match that of the Star's Call.
