Maehwa — Class changelogs

Maehwa Awakening wasn't able to deal Petal Drill's full damage while only using its extra attack. To address this, Petal Drill's extra attack has been moved to Tenacious Edge, allowing it to be used independently.

Awakening.

Skill Petal Drill: removed the extra attack and moved its animation to Tenacious Edge. Decreased the cooldown from 7 sec to 5 sec. The Skill Add-on tier has been changed accordingly from 2 to 1.

Skill Tenacious Edge: added Super Armor. Stiffness on hits now applies in PvE only; when Core: Tenacious Edge is learned, Stiffness on hits applies in PvP as well. Increased the cooldown from 3 sec to 5 sec based on Level IV. Changed the timing at which "Nullified during cooldown" is applied: before after 6 stabbing motions, after after 3 stabbing motions. Combo timing into Coldsnap was changed to after performing all attacks. Recover HP per hit was removed.

Skill Tenacious Edge: Petal Drill's extra attack was moved to Tenacious Edge's low stab. LMB triggers the low stab after Petal Drill, Flow: Frostflower, Flow: Moonlight Dash, or Flow: Tip of an Iceberg. The attack area of the low stab was adjusted to match its visual effects. Critical Hit Rate no longer applies during cooldown. Recover WP by skill level changed from 12/13/14/15 to 10/20/30/40. Fixed the issue where WP did not recover per hit.

Skill Red: Carver: fixed the issue where All Damage Reduction -20 was applied when using the skill while on cooldown.

Skill Kerispear Training: fixed the issue where the skill could not be comboed into Chase after a certain point during the first attack.

Skill Petal Swirl: fixed the issue where holding the key inputs triggered different follow-up behaviors depending on whether Core: Petal Swirl was learned.

Skill Red: Carver: fixed the issue where damage was not reduced when using the skill during cooldown.

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.
