Striker — Class changelogs

We're looking to address a combat style where Adventurers repeatedly use Taunt skills in monster zones to lock a monster's target in place, allowing other Adventurers to subjugate without taking any damage. Accordingly, while these skills will retain their original function, their effects will be adjusted so that the monsters can shift targets when another Adventurer attacks.

• Changed the "Taunt surrounding foes" effect on the following skills to apply as a Taunt attack instead of increasing aggro.
  • Crouching Wolf

Awakening

Endless Explosion

• Reduced the Recover HP per hit effect: 200 → 125.

Fallout, Endless Fight

• Added the Recover HP per hit effect.
• Fallout: Recover 220 HP per hit
• Endless Fight: Recover 230 HP per hit

• Hell Break - Fixed the issue where Defensive Effects remained active until the end of the skill motion when successfully grappling after comboing from certain skills.

We improved the usability of Striker Awakening's Endless Fight, allowing it to be used in the Fallout → Endless Fight → Autumn Blaze combo.

Additionally, we increased the PvE damage of skills that were previously avoided due to their low damage, ensuring their damage now matches that of the main skills.

Awakening

Endless Fight

• Changed so that the skill can be comboed from Fallout only.
• The skill can still be performed via a Quick Slot.
• Removed Down Smash on hits.
• Removed Stiffness on hits.
