- When you complete all related quests after accepting them, ‘Awakening’ tab will be opened in the Skill window [K] and you can use the Awakening skills.

 

※ The following criteria must be fulfilled for you to take the Awakening quest.

  - Warrior, Archer, Sorceress 2nd job change completed.

 

 

 

[Warrior]

 

 

[Gladiator]

Before Awakening, Gladiators dealt damage mostly in finish attack.

So when the opponent’s HP was low, a high amount of damage could be dealt but damage was insufficient when opponent’s HP was high.

Also, Gladiators have many lashing attacks but have less ways of evading opponent’s attack and these issues have been improved.

With Awakening, Gladiators can use Side Dodge to continuously change their location while attacking and Hyper Drive has been added which can be used in place of Finish Attack to deal damage regardless of the opponent’s HP.

 

Side Dodge (Active) : Can be used while using other skills and maximises mobility

Hyper Drive (Active) : Can easily chase after targets with powerful 4-consecutive dash attacks

[Awakening Passive] Triple Slash : Triple Slash deals more hits

[Awakening Passive] Front Shove : HP is recovered and follow-up skills can be used easily

[Awakening Passive] Brave : Creates additional Physical Rising

[Awakening Passive] Parrying : Can attack enemies in front even without successful defence

 

[Moonlord]

Before Awakening, Moonlord’s overall skill damage was low and skill action time long due to the advantage of being able to deal damage easily at a medium distance. Also, with simple deal mechanism, there was less possibility of becoming stronger based on user’s abilities.

With improvements in these issues, Awakening adds skills that create tornadoes which can be used to manage resources more efficiently and use a powerful one-blow Smash X with deal cycle.

Moon Blader has been added which can reduce delay after main skills and which can be used in mid to long range distance to allow the user to freely adjust the battle distance.

 

Moon Blader (Active) : Normal hit is changed to sword energy and recovers some of Smash X’s cooldown

Smash X (Active) : A powerful skill which recovers cooldown with Moon Blader and Moon Blade Dance

[Awakening Passive] Moonlight Splitter : Creates tornadoes not sword energy

[Awakening Passive] Cyclone Slash : Creates tornadoes more quickly

[Awakening Passive] Eclipse : Eclipse can be used even while attacking and creates tornado

[Awakening Passive] Provoking Slam : Provoking Slam is changed to wide area attack

 

[Barbarian]

Before Awakening, Barbarian’s increase in Strength due to current HP had a high impact on gameplay

and to activate Ultimate Circle Swing, Barbarian always had to risk danger.

These areas have been improved and with Awakening, Barbarian penetrates into the enemies to deal a wide area attack and attains Rage points.

Own Strength increases with the number of Rage points and when Rage is maximum, a powerful blow attack can be executed.

 

Overtaker (Active) : Deals 5-consecutive powerful attacks and all Rage points are used at the final hit and can activate Ultimate Circle Swing without cooldown

Frenzy (Active) : While Frenzy is active, you get Rage points when Whirlwind hits enemies accurately

[Awakening Passive] Axe Mastery : Critical rate increases when Axe is equipped

[Awakening Passive] Stomp : Stomp’s second attack makes enemies fall down

[Awakening Passive] Demolition Fist : Whenever Demolition Fist hits enemies accurately, part of Demolition Fist’s cooldown is recovered

[Awakening Passive] Havoc Howl : When Havoc Howl is used, HP is recovered without spending Rage points

 

[Destroyer]

Before Awakening, Destroyers had a limit on damage dealt because of the role as a tanker.

Improvements have been made for this and with Awakening, Crash Mode can be used to stop enemies’ attacks and Howl Charging can be used in other ways to maximise own attack power. That means Destroyers can now choose to be a tanker or a dealer.

 

Assault Crash (Active) : Deals powerful consecutive attacks while advancing forward

Crash Mode (Active) : Takes a stable stance to attack enemies or defend while provoking enemies

[Awakening Passive] Hammer Mastery : Attack power increases when Hammer is equipped

[Awakening Passive] Maelstrom Howl : Maelstrom Howl ’s range is increased and cooldown and attack power are decreased

[Awakening Passive] Rolling Attack : Rolling Attack can be used continuously without spending Rage points

[Awakening Passive] Howl Charging : Howl Charging can only be applied on oneself and in this case, increase in attack power is added besides the usual effects

 

 

[Archer]

 

 

[Sniper]

- Awakened to overcome the weakness of low agility.

Before Awakening, Snipers relied heavily on Wind Shaft for damage dealing and lacked response methods in times of crisis.

These areas have been improved and after Awakening, skills starting with Siege Stance can be used more quickly and Sniper can evade danger with Tumble and Sliding Shot.

 

Sliding Shot (Active) : Use for evasion or hit enemies up into the air

Camouflage (Active) : Becomes invisible to increase safety

[Awakening Passive] Siege Stance (Aim) : A more agile Siege Stance. Additionally, other skills can be used in aiming form.

[Awakening Passive] Tumble : Tumble’s movement distance increases

[Awakening Passive] Piercing Shot : Causes enemies hit by Piercing Shot to bleed

 

[Artillery]

- Awakened to pour powerful artillery attacks that match its name.

Before Awakening, Artillery’s main skills were too compressed and lacked a powerful single blow.

These have been improved and after Awakening, a powerful new skill Cannonade has been added to create balance with the quick and easily intercepted Tracking Arrows.

 

Cannonade (Active) : Fires continuously at an assigned location after a while and can be enhanced with Fatal Tracking

Cyclone Harpoon (Active) : Has no attack power but pulls enemies near the harpoon for a while

[Tempest]

-  Awakened to get an ability that specializes in using Tempest’s fist with the power of wind.

Before Awakening, Tempest didn’t have a powerful single blow and lacked lashing attacks or lacked attack skills itself.

These issues have been improved with Awakening and Windwalker can now use attack skills which become more powerful based on the number of Currents and can be followed up with skills in the air or on the ground.
