Thunder Dragon Slash
Damage 140 → 170
Dragon Stamp
Damage 140 → 170
Dragon Kick
Damage 110 / 110 → 130 / 130
Cooldown 9s → 7s
Maximus
Intent
Maximus had superior offensive capabilities compared to other tank roles, so we slightly reduced his damage and slightly increased his sustain.
Enforcement of Order
Damage 110 → 100
Verdict!
Damage 330 → 300
Ironblood Retribution
Damage 110 → 100
Gains a shield of 30 for 2 seconds per enemy hit

Bernhardt

The swap skill *Rampaging Fury* is back!
With *Rampaging Fury*, Bernhardt can now flexibly fulfill a sub-tank role.

Damage 100
Unstoppable for 0.75s

We unified movement skills to assign *Rising Wind* to Shift.
Rising Wind
Fixed as Shift swap skill
Boosting Wind
Fixed as Shift swap skill
Raki
Intent
Compared to Rei’s 1.2s 315 damage, Raki’s LMB had significantly lower DPS.
We reduced the interval from 0.25s to 0.2s, slightly increasing to 1.2s 180 DPS.
RMB has been redesigned to have inner and outer range hitboxes, like Lucy’s LMB.
This way, beginner players can hit more reliably, though at lower damage than intended.
Advanced players will need to get closer and aim more precisely to achieve the intended damage.

Furry Flurry
Added central hitbox

Intent
We significantly improved the usability of Electra’s LMB.
With longer range and faster projectile speed, she will be stronger at healing allies.
*Encroaching Thorns* and *Land of Delight* can now be used with Blood Well gauge, and *Land of Delight* also gains a cleansing effect to remove CC effects from allies.
*Ecstatic Sphere* will return
