Brand-new Content
I. New Hero: Tessa, The Vixen

Sultry but deadly, don't let those tails fool you. Many have fallen prey to her beguiling charms.
A young Herald sharing her soul with an ancient fox spirit, Tessa uses charm and trickery to manipulate any and all into doing her bidding.
She wields sensuality and wit like weapons, weaving a web of pleasure to ensnare her prey. Though her love might feel genuine, the targets of her affection are little more than pawns in her quest to revive the fallen god Sunwing.
The third skill and ultimate are not yet available in this version. Once available, you can complete heroes' Cultivation Quests to unlock them. If you've completed the required Cultivation Quests before upcoming updates, the skill and ultimate will be unlocked automatically.

Hero Adjustments
I. Kurumi

Optimized the skill and its Talents, altering the logic it uses to choose a link target.

If there's an ally in the direction aimed, it links to them.
If not, it links instead to the nearest ally within 30m (prioritizing heroes and Remains, then Light Parasols).
In the event there are no allies, and no others to link within 30m, a Light Parasol is summoned in the direction aimed instead.

Optimized the skill and all its talent moves.

(1) Slightly increased the attack range of the Horizontal Strike after connecting the target.
(2) The Horizontal Strike after connecting the target now provides 100% damage reduction instead of 70%. During the recovery frames, the damage reduction is 0.

While the healing circle of Ultimates or is active, you can recast it by unleashing the Ultimate again. The new circle inherits the old one's remaining time and elemental effects.
The Ultimate now launches a knock-airborne attack on nearby enemies.

//Dev Note: Kurumi possesses strong rescue and protection capabilities, but her survivability has been slightly lacking through each version update. Therefore, we have adjusted the difficulty of using and added additional effects to to lower the entry barrier for Kurumi and enhance her survivability.
II. Temulch
Improved the operation experience of all skill branches:

Jump optimization: slightly increased the jumping height. Now the character's speed when activating the skill will be reset, ensuring consistent jumping height. During the jump phase, you can control the character's movement with directional buttons.
Changed the status during the jump from Blue Focus to Golden Focus.

//Dev Notes: The ability to perform horizontal movement during the jump phase significantly enhances Temulch's mobility. We hope this change addresses the issue of Temulch being easily interrupted by the Uppercut Slash move after skill activation and jumping.
III. Tarka Ji

After activating the Ultimate, Tarka Ji's 2nd-stage dodge (elbow strike) attack can interrupt higher Focus. Now it can interrupt enemies' Purple Focus Strikes.
The damage multiplier for the skill has been adjusted from 2.0 to 2.2.
Tarka Ji now expends 8.5% instead of 9% Rage to cast while is in effect.

IV. Valda Cui

The bubble duration of skill has been adjusted from 4 sec to 2.5 sec.
Added a 3-sec CD after throwing the water spear during the Ultimate , preventing consecutive spear throws.

//Dev Notes: Consecutive spear throws with continuous Focus have provided Valda with strong defensive advantages and exerted immense pressure on opponents during gameplay. To balance her offensive and defensive capabilities, we have introduced a CD for consecutive spear throws.
V. Zai

All talents of the skill and itself will now exit the state when affected by Control effects.
Adjusted the rush action for and to rush toward the aiming direction.
Adjustments to the attack moves of after activating the Ultimate:

Changed the Focus level for the second hit of Horizontal and Vertical Strikes from Golden Focus to Purple Focus.
Increased gravity during Airborne Horizontal Strikes.
The charged move can no longer knock enemies airborne.

Updated the skill description for the Ultimate .

//Dev Notes: Zai's continuous Horizontal Strikes with made it difficult for opponents to counter, and her Airborne Horizontal Strike mechanism granted her additional survivability and damage output. We have adjusted the performance of the moves to address these issues. Additionally, Zai's ability to continue using even under Control effects made it challenging for Control-based Heroes to time their actions correctly when facing Zai. Thus, we have revised the interruption conditions to reduce Zai's margin for error.
VI. Wuchen
Optimized the placement of Yin Yang Orbs for Wuchen's Ultimates and , as well as the selection of the aiming point for , reducing potential issues and camera blocking to ensure accurate targeting.
Weapon Adjustments
I. General Adjustments for Melee Weapons
Added a grappling button buffer during the execution of the Uppercut Slash move.
//Dev Notes: Combining Uppercut Slash, grappling, and Blink Strike with the Katana or Uppercut Slash, grappling, and Decimator with Dual Halberds is fascinating gameplay. However, the use of the grappling hook mid-combo was leading to combo failures more than we would like due to timing issues. To address this, we have introduced a grappling button buffer during the execution of the Uppercut Slash move, ensuring that you can perform the combo without grappling prematurely. With this input buffer, we hope that more of you will be encouraged to explore and enjoy these combos.
II. Katana
Slightly reduced the stagger duration after hitting an enemy with the horizontal strike when sprinting.
III. Staff

Reduced the pursuing effects and camera turning of charged horizontal strikes.
Reduced the stagger duration when hitting enemies lying on the ground by Crouch+Horizontal Strike and Slide+Horizontal Strike.

Adjusted the damage multiplier of Brutal Tide from 2.12*2 to 1.27 + 2.97.

Adjusted the damage multiplier of Brutal Tide from 2.12*2 to 1.27 + 2.97.
