Gladiator
Developer Commentary
Gladiator has a passive skill effect that increases the damage of key skills by 30%
and grants Forward Guard upon using Shield Charge, Charging Thrust, or Piercing Spear.
However, we have noticed that this passive skill effect is not being utilized efficiently
against monsters with high HP during Auto-Combat.
Even in regular monster zones, when these skills are used in auto-hunt,
the efficiency of this passive tends to drop as the monsters with low HP are defeated with a single hit.
For these reasons, we initially considered leaving a portion of these skills to be used manually.
However, considering that important monster zones such as Everfrost and Land of the Sherekhan require Adventurers to engage in prolonged battles,
we determined that requiring manual control for these skills might be excessive.
Therefore, we have improved the Auto-Combat to use Shield Charge more often between the key skills,
so the passive can be activated more efficiently..
Please note that when facing enemies with low HP that can be defeated with a single hit during auto-combat,
the frequent use of Shield Charge, which has a relatively narrow attack range, may result in a decrease in the number of monsters defeated, depending on your skill setup.
But we expect to see higher efficiency in hunting through different skill setups and Auto-Combat locks
depending on the characteristcs and purpose of the monster zones.
Ground Smash
- Added a short jump for Flow: Leap of Faith without directional input.
- Changed to use a short jump when the target is within 4.5m during Auto-Combat.
Shield Charge
- Changed to allow combo into Ground Smash or Scars of Dusk.
- Improved the Auto-Combat AI.
ㆍAfter using short Shield Charge, the AI will now use Spinning Slash, Scars of Dusk, Ground Smash, Counter Slash, and Ground Slash more frequently to benefit from the Strong Principle: Increase Damage effect.
ㆍAfter using Spinning Slash, Scars of Dusk, Ground Smash, Counter Slash, or Ground Slash, the AI will now use Shield Charge more frequently to refresh the Strong Principle: Increase Damage effect.
- Changed the Damage Multiplier against World Bosses with PvE balance adjustments (129.59% → 122.38%)

Upcoming Updates
Developer Commentary
We would like to address the recent feedback from many adventurers regarding the grab skills.
Grab is a powerful skill in PvP that can neutralize an opponent’s Super Armor and knock them down.
After the Rabam skill update, it especially became more significant as you could combo Rabam skills after a successful grab.
Considering the overall impact of grab skills on game balance,
we are currently preparing and testing improvements as outlined below to provide a more balanced combat experience.
 |
 |
| BEFORE | AFTER |
1. Increasing Vulnerability Duration After Failed Grab
Currently, when a grab fails, the character is briefly left vulnerable. Moving forward, this vulnerability duration will be slightly extended.
With this adjustment, we aim to encourage Adventurers to make more careful decisions when using grab skills.
2. Increasing Grab Skill Cooldown
The current cooldowns for grab skills are around 10 seconds.
This makes it relatively easy to combo into Rabam skills, which have cooldowns of around 20 seconds, even if only one out of two grab attempts succeeds.
We plan to increase the cooldown for grab skills, making the timing of these skills even more crucial.
 |
 |
| BEFORE | AFTER |
3. Adding Pre-Grab Skill Action (TBD)
If further improvement is needed even after the first two steps as we monitor the impact of grab skills in combat, and we determine that additional action is necessary,
We are considering adding a specific animation before the skill is used, giving opponents more room to recognize and respond to grabs.
These proposed improvements require further internal testing and adjustments, so we ask for your understanding as we cannot yet provide an exact implementation date.
We will continue to monitor the feedback provided by Adventurers and remain committed to ongoing improvements.
Additionally, please note that we are also reviewing the usage status of Stealth and Black Spirit Emergency Escape skills in various situations.
Thank you.
