Hero Adjustments

I. Zai

Optimized the performance of some weapon attacks under her ultimate [Chain Scythe] and [Chain Scythe: Suppress].

 

Combat Adjustments

I. New mechanism: Focus Damage Reduction

During combat, if your Blue/Purple/Golden Focus you generated by the strike is not interrupted (for example, the Blue/Purple Focus may be interrupted by common attack, and Golden Focus may be interrupted by Blue Focus strike or common attack), it grants you a 30% damage reduction. However, hero skills, ultimates, or weapon attacks under ultimates will not trigger this Focus damage reduction.

 

Souljade Adjustments

I. Staff Souljade

1. Slightly reduced the stagger time after hitting an enemy with [Ocean Parter].

 

II. Bow Souljade

1. Adjusted the effect of [Fire Arrows]:

(1) Reduced the damage of the second stage charged shot for the Bow. But the arrows can ignite enemies, dealing consistent damage over time.

(2) Decreased the reduction in damage for the second stage charged shot and increased the continuous burning damage.
