Mistfall Hunter receives no-downtime update: new drops and class balance tweaks

New Content

A new crafting item, Dried Flower Knots, will now drop when challenging Mist Lords in Einherjar mode. This addition expands the possibilities for gear combinations and allows players to prove their strength against elite foes.

Class Balance Adjustments

The developers have fine-tuned several classes based on community feedback and performance data:

• Blackarrow: The impact effect has been removed from uncharged shots, while the impact of fully charged shots has been slightly reduced. Additionally, a bug causing abnormal displacement distance after jumping following a side dodge has been fixed. Another fix addresses collision prompts appearing abnormally when aiming at Stealthed units.
• Withered Knight: The energy cost for Sprinting Slash and Withering Mark has been slightly reduced. Several bugs have been resolved, including characters launching vertically into the sky due to skill interactions with obstacles, skills being prematurely interrupted by the Inspect action, and the "Thorn Guide" skill dragging Richie the Merchant.
• Mercenary: Fixed an issue where the Sword and Shield variant would trigger auto-blocks under specific circumstances.
• Sorcerer: Resolved a problem where the Stardust playstyle was unable to use a charged Meteor Charm in certain situations.

The team emphasized that class balance is an ongoing commitment. If a class wasn't tweaked in this patch, it doesn't mean it's perfectly balanced—it's simply still under review. Moving forward, they will continue to closely monitor community feedback and performance data, fine-tuning gameplay mechanics only after thorough testing.

The update addresses several critical stability issues:

• Fixed an issue where the PS/Xbox friends list failed to retrieve friend information, causing a game crash.
