Black Desert Online – 30 August 2023 Patch Notes | Warrior’s New Combos!

New Additions and Improvements

Warrior
Main Weapon, Succession
Prime: Counter
  • Improved so pressing SPACE the moment the skill combos into Energy Counter will combo into Spin Counter.
  • Improved so pressing SPACE during the skill will combo into Spin Counter.
Counter (I to III, Prime)
  • Fixed the issue where using the skill on cooldown didn't consume WP.
Shield Charge
  • Changed to no longer activate with SPACE during Guard.

Awakening
Balance Strike
  • Fixed the issue where the character moved abnormally on hits.
  • Fixed the issue where the number of hits applied only to monsters in the skill effects was different from Core: Balance Strike.
Grave Digging, Flow: Slashing the Dead
  • Fixed the issue where Grave Digging hits wouldn't combo smoothly into Flow: Slashing the Dead.
Core: Frenzied Strikes
  • Fixed the issue where pressing C after using Frenzied Strikes wouldn't switch to your longsword upon learning the Core skill.
Berserker
For the Succession Berserker, a broader range of combos has been introduced in PvE situations where Prime: Raging Thunder cannot be used due to instances such as the skill being on cooldown. The skill was previously not as effective in monster zones requiring the Down Attack debuff. We’ve now made it so you can combo with Ultimate: Frenzied Destroyer, Prime: Devastation, or Prime: Ancient Wave along with Prime: Beastly Wind Slash and Prime: Fierce Strike in Beast Form, thus granting a larger arsenal of Down Attack skills in those monster zones.

  • Fixed the issue where your attack wouldn't deal damage when using the skill while holding ←/→ (A/D) keys.
Lahn
The Awakened Lahn relied heavily on her grab (Soul Raid) in PvP, and if she failed, she had to wait for the skill to come off cooldown as it was difficult to attack her opponent safely with any other skill. Also, even if she did succeed in grabbing her target, it was still difficult to deal meaningful damage unless she was facing off against a single enemy. Hence we increased the damage dealt with skills such as [Taunting Death], [Flow: Mangler], [Tailspin], and [Blood Moon Twist], and also made it possible to maintain a defensive effect with [Taunting Death] - [Flow: Mangler] while dealing damage. We also changed [Core: Eradication] to now grant Super Armor during the skill, thus granting another opportunity to strike Lahn's opponents without the need for a grab.
