Tamer

Tamer recovered MP according to hit targets since she had a low MP recovery effect on hit. Therefore, adventurers often used means such as MP Potion, Spirit Perfume Elixir, and Skill Add-ons to recover their MP. However, there were some shortcomings when dealing with certain monsters. This method was particularly not very effective for Tamers in their growth phase, so it has been adjusted accordingly.

Main Weapon, Succession

Kunoichi

When defeating monsters, Succession Kunoichi had to take care to manage Stamina effectively in order to remain engaged in battle with monsters consistently. This caused situations where powerful skills could not be used due to insufficient stamina. Accordingly, adjustments have been made to the stamina consumption and recovery intervals of [Prime: Flash Slash] and [Tendon Cutter], reducing the stamina burden when activating skills while standing during PvE situations.
