- Great Sword Mastery – Counter Lifesteal skill effect changed to: When attacked, counterattacks automatically and gains a 30% lifesteal (this lifesteal will increase to 60% if the target is NPC); when attacking with a great sword, converts 10% of damage dealt into healing.
- Hammer Mastery – Lament of Earth-splitting skill effect changed to: The hammer’s normal skill will inflict additional earth-splitting damage, knocking the target down.
- Dual-blade Mastery – Spectral Blade skill effect changed to: Gains additional Crit rate during the period, doubles the Bleed Points for all skills, and inflicts double bleed effect. Dealing damage using Dual-blade also gains a 1% DMG Immunity with “Spectral Protection”, stacking up to 20 times. The status ends concurrently with the Spectral Blade buff.
- Shield Mastery – Get Poised Before Strike skill effect changed to: Gains a 30s buff effect: Upon each successful defense with a shield, recovers 10% of Max Stamina and boosts own ATK by (0.5%*Max HP+5), stacking up to 5 times for 50s. Dealing damage clears all effects and converts 30% of the damage done to healing.
- Spear Mastery – Spear Flurry skill effect changed to: Executes a rapid succession of spear strikes, suffocating the enemy with unyielding ferocity. The damage dealt ignores 50% Shield DEF and 80% DEF of other weapons.
- Bow Mastery – Divine Power Possession skill effect changed to: After activation, gain divine power temporarily: With a Bow or Rapid Bow, fire 3 arrows at once with a 10% chance to Slow the target by 80% for 3 seconds. With a Great Bow, fire piercing arrows with a 25% chance to deal a small amount of extra damage and inflict Coma. With a Longbow, deal damage that ignores shield defense and gain a 25% chance to drain 100 Stamina from the target.
The following blade mastery effects have been changed:
- Vaulting Whirlwind: Makes a forward dash and slashes the enemy, dealing damage twice and inflicting “Slash Wound”: when using Sprint during this period, speed will be reduced by 80% for 5 seconds.
- Turn Slash: Gathers strength in the right arm to deliver a fatal blow, dealing a great amount of damage. Additionally, When used by a player, the target becomes unable to lock onto enemies for 5 seconds. After the skill ends, the player cannot be targeted for 5 seconds.
- Dash Slash: Dash toward the enemies and slashes, dealing one-time damage and reducing their ATK by 10% (half effect on bosses), up to 3 stacks.
- Upstroke Slash: Lifts the target into the air before releasing the skill again for an aerial follow-up attack. When used by a player, the first hit deals damage and inflicts the “aerial disarm” status on the target. While airborne, the target will be forced to sheath their weapon.
- Rolling Slashes: Dashes forward and flips, slashing at the enemy to deal damage twice, with a chance for the second hit to cause a knockdown. When used by a player, the attack deals damage and temporarily nullifies the target’s damage reduction effects for 5 seconds.
The following gauntlet mastery effects have been changed:
- Revolving Kick: Consumes a lot of enemy Stamina and makes them exit the defense status. When used by a player, the attack deals damage and drains 30 stamina from the target. (Range and cooldown increase)
- Whirlstep Uppercut: Dodges sideways and dashes forward to launch a hooking punch counterattack. When used by a player, hitting the target inflicts a 5-second effect: lose 20 Stamina upon each attack received.
- 2-Strike Kick: Performs consecutive sweeping kicks to the enemy’s lower limbs, restricting their movement. Each kick reduces the target’s movement speed for 10 seconds, up to 2 stacks. When used by a player, hitting the target inflicts “Exhausted” effect: each Roll greatly drains the user’s energy, deducting 50 Stamina and lowering Attack Speed by 50% for 5 seconds.
- Charged Punch: After charging up for an extended period of time, punches forward, dealing a great amount of damage and easily breaking through the opponent’s defense. When used by a player, hitting the target inflicts “Fatigued” effect: each time dealing damage loses an additional 30 Stamina.
- Counter Punch: Takes a defensive stance that greatly reduces the DMG taken. If attacked at this time, strikes back with a powerful blow, knocking the attacker back; if the strike comes from a player, it will “Disarm” the target hit.
- Backstab: Quickly charges to the back of the target, executing from behind. This skill grants invincibility but cannot be used on other players, and cannot be used on the same target twice within a certain period of time. Gains a stack of 20% damage reduction whenever taking damage, stacking up to 5 times. At 5 stacks, all stacks are removed when the effect activates, triggering a 10-second cooldown. (Switching weapons clears all stacks).
- Fixed an issue where the Spear Mastery skill “Ultimate Throw” would sometimes prevent the player from throwing spears again if the thrown spear wasn’t retrieved.
- Fixed an issue where the damage numbers would be displayed incorrectly when the “[PEN DEF]” attribute was activated.
- Corrected chest placement in the Giant Crater Holy Ruins.
- Power extension shaft items are now stackable.
- The powered refining furnace can now produce plaster and coking coal.
- All blueprints craftable on a loom can now also be crafted on a powered spinning wheel.
