[Dev Note]
Following the hero reboots for Durgeff and Herawen last week, we decided to do the same for Tantu and Hexe Marie to make them more enjoyable to play.
In the case of Tantu, Tantu’s ranged and melee combat style has been greatly enhanced with Mastery A emphasizing ranged combat and Mastery B emphasizing melee combat.
We realized that the concept of Hexe Marie's skills are not exactly intuitive and difficult to understand, which is why the focus was placed on making the skills more intuitive in this reboot. For example, Shadow of Quturan is a skill that is used to counter while evading, but this wasn't as it was difficult to utilize the evade mechanic. As for Contaminated Sacrifice A, it was difficult to figure out how the summoned skeleton wolf attacked, making it a frustrating experience for both the player and the opponent. As a result, Shadow of Quturan A's evasion mechanic has been improved, and when using Contaminated Sacrifice A, it'll summon an Undying Knight riding a ghost horse that charges, making the skill easy to identify and distinguish. As with Tantu, Hexe Marie's skills were also reviewed, and the skill's hit impact and controls were improved.




| Thaw Winter A (Q)
- Adjusted the explosive damage applied immediately after using skill from 300% to 250%.
- Reduced burn damage for 4 sec from 420 to 270.

| Thaw Winter B (Q)
- Reduced burn damage for 4 sec from 420 to 270.
- Fixed the explosion sound of the skill.

| Burning Hula Hoop A (R)
- Adjusted the maximum hits from 10 to 8.
- Decreased the maximum damage from 1386% to 1109%.
- Decreased burn damage for 4 sec from 360 to 315.

| Burning Hula Hoop B (R)
- Changed the skill explosion sound effect.
- Decreased burn damage for 4 sec from 360 to 315.

[Dev Note]
Through the monitoring of Durgeff Durkhan reboot that was implemented last week, we determined that Durgeff was a little too strong after the recent balance adjustments. As a result, we have slightly nerfed the skill damage.


[h3]■ UI[/h3]

- Added a function to search for a player's nickname in their friend list.
> Removed the previous Search button.
- Changed the Chat (F2) tab key to Whisper (F2) in the chat window of the Main Lobby.

Now: The opponent is already in a duel.

- Added emphasis to the Control Guide when using skills.

- Added Sura and Bari and Heilang AI Bots.
> Available to be selected as party members in Trio.
- Fixed the issue where Ataraxia AI bot's hair color appeared White.
- Fixed the issue where Ataraxia's AI bot's Kriegsmesser Parry skill effect did not disappear after the skill was used.
