Maehwa — Class changelogs

After the last update, Maehwa Awakening's assassination capabilities were adjusted. The goal was to balance her ability to deal melee damage and assassinate for better flexibility, but her current performance in both areas fell short of expectations.

Maehwa Awakening is being pushed further into an assassin role by boosting her ability to assassinate with Air Attack. All Down Smash effects were removed to prevent long skill combos on a failed assassination after a single CC attempt.

Her survivability was adjusted to depend more on using the Invincible effect to avoid damage rather than engaging in direct confrontations.
