Maehwa — Class changelogs

17.09.2026

Patch Notes - September 17, 2026

For Maehwa Succession, we've increased her PvE damage mainly for wide-range skills, while also improving Whirlwind Cut I Whirlwind Cut so you can more easily reposition behind groups of monsters.

We've also improved the combo from Decapitating Dragon into Prime: Blooming III Prime: Blooming, making it smoother and more convenient. This also eases the difficulty of working Prime: Blooming into every combo due to its cooldown.

That said, since adjustments like these can also affect PvP, we'll be monitoring the results closely to see if any further tuning is needed.

Main Weapon, Succession

Prime: Blooming

Changed cooldown: 15 sec → 12 sec.
- Accordingly, changed the Skill Add-on tier: 3 → 2.

Changed the skill to trigger with LMB after Decapitating Dragon.
Moved the "All Evasion -12 for 10 sec on hits" effect to Blooming Stride.
Removed the bleeding damage effect.

Prime: Whirlwind Cut, Ultimate: Whirlwind Cut

Added no character collision while moving laterally during the skill.

Decapitating Dragon

Improved combos into Whirlwind Cut and Dragon Bite to flow more naturally after the skill.

25.06.2026

Patch Notes - June 25, 2026

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.
