Character Utility Improvements

Common
Improved the appearance of the character's face.
You can read more about these improvements in our previous notice [Here]
| Developer's Notes We've been listening closely to all the valuable feedback you've shared regarding Vella's face model renewal.Vindictus operates on a single global build, meaning core assets like character models are the same for all regions. This makes it difficult for us to adjust the NA/EU/ update schedule for contents that has already been applied elsewhere, and we sincerely ask for your understanding.We completely understand that the new look may not be to everyone's preference. With that in mind, we've prepared a small gift to show our appreciation: We will be giving a 'Premium Appearance Alteration Coupon' to everyone who logs in, and we hope it helps you customize Vella's new appearance to better match your own personal style.As always, we sincerely thank you for your incredible passion and support for Vindictus. |
Twin Swords

Made a fix so that attacks that did not activate Cross Cut prior to this change are able to be blocked while in Cross Stance.

Changed the existing stage 3 effect, "Recover 2 STA on hit, gain 14 ATT SPD", to a base stage effect.
The icon for the Blade Heart status effect will be changed to the old stage 2 icon.
Changed the Blade Heart status effect by removing its duration, allowing it to last for an unlimited amount of time.
However, the status effect will still disappear if you are hit while under its effect.
Changed Active: Wind Rider to no longer consume Blade Heart when used.
Changed Active: Wind Rider to restore 250 SP when used while under the Blade Heart status effect.
The Blade Heart status effect has been consolidated into a single stage, changing the way SP is recovered as opposed to being based on the stage of the Blade Heart status effect.
Changed the cooldown time of Active: Wind Rider from 5 seconds to 15 seconds.
Changed the SP consumption of Active: Sword's Will from 500 to 250.
Adjusted the Blade Heart status effect gained from using Active: Sword's Will to 'Recover 3 STA on hit, gain 15 ATT SPD.' (Previous Effect: 'Recover 2 STA on hit, gain 14 ATT SPD')
The icon for the Blade Heart status effect gained from using Active: Sword's Will will display as the old stage 3 icon.
Added a Super Armor effect to the Gust Sting skill animation.
Changed the STA consumption of Slipaway and Backlash from 20 to 10.
Changed Cross Cut to be usable on attacks that previously did not activate Cross Cut.
The attack above will always activate as Pure Cross Cut.
