Kunoichi — Class changelogs

Kunoichi Awakening is a melee DPS and an assassin. However, because she could easily maintain Super Armor to deal damage safely despite her assassination potential, her skill combos have been adjusted to leave appropriate openings, bringing her more in line with her intended role.

Penumbral Blade, an exceptionally fast and powerful skill, has also been adjusted to give opponents a fair chance to react by increasing its wind-up time and removing its CC effects.

Skill Core: Delighted Blast: changed the defensive effect: Super Armor → Forward Guard.

Skill Half Moon Slash: changed so that Stamina does not recover during the skill motion.

Skill Half Moon Slash: changed so that defensive effects are removed immediately after attacking.

Skill Penumbral Blade: changed Stiffness on hits to apply in PvE only.

Skill Penumbral Blade: changed so that the character becomes visible immediately after moving.

Skill Moon Storm: added Stiffness on hits.

Skill Moon Storm: removed Down Smash.

Skill Flow: Pinwheel Fury: changed the defensive effect: Super Armor → Super Armor when using the skill.

We have reduced the damage of Kunoichi Succession's Super Armor skills used for CC or direct combat, as they were overperforming relative to her role as an assassin.

Conversely, the damage and stability of Wheel of Wrath were increased, allowing Kunoichi to better fulfill her role through the explosive damage from the Ninjutsu buffs.

Succession: the changes apply to Succession skills.

Skill Prime: Shadow Explosion: changed the defensive effect: Super Armor → Forward Guard.

Skill Prime: Wheel of Wrath: added Super Armor during the skill.
