[Updates] Patch Notes - June 25, 2026

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

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 ColdsnapColdsnap was changed to after performing all attacks. Recover HP per hit was removed.

Skill Core: Tenacious EdgeTenacious Edge: Core: Petal DrillPetal Drill's extra attack was moved to Core: Tenacious EdgeTenacious Edge's low stab. LMB triggers the low stab after Core: Petal DrillPetal Drill, Flow: FrostflowerFlow: Frostflower, Flow: Moonlight DashFlow: Moonlight Dash, or Flow: Tip of an IcebergFlow: 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.

[Updates] Patch Notes - May 21, 2026

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.
