Main, Succession
Ninja had to include different skills with bleeding, burn, and poison effects to achieve meaningful damage over time effects. With this change, the damage over time effects are unified into a single poison effect, allowing even one skill hit to hinder HP recovery for the duration. Additionally, with the recent special evasion update, overall Max HP and HP Recovery have increased, so poison has been changed to deal high damage over a short period. This adjustment aims to highlight Ninja Succession's characteristic of pressuring opponents with damage over time.- Changed all Succession skills with burn, bleed, or poison damage effects to a unified poison effect, which now requires learning Prime: Shadow Blade for the effect to apply.
- Changed the poison damage effect to inflict 280 damage every 2 sec for 6 sec, accordingly.
- Changed the following skills to reflect the updated damage-over-time effect:
-
-
- Prime: Malicious Cut, Prime: Shadow Slash, Prime: Fatal Blow, Prime: Heart Aiming, Prime: Fox Claw, Prime: Blade Spin, Prime: Dark Frenzy, Succession: Crescent Slash, Succession: Ankle Cutter, Covert: Cut Throat
-
* When using Prime: Malicious Cut buff, the poison effect is enhanced, inflicting 840 damage every 2 sec for 6 sec.
- Removed the burn effect, and changed it to attack damage.
