Battle Adjustments

System

• Evade - Fixed an issue where after evading a Raging Strike and then consequently evading a projectile, the Raging Strike evade animation would play again.

Metera

• Crouching Heavy Attack - Fixed an issue where a midair counter hit animation would incorrectly play after the animation finished.
• The Great Fall - Fixed an issue where the game would crash when used with certain inputs in Training Mode.

Vaseraga

• Jump - Fixed an issue where if used right before landing, abilities or Skybound Arts performed would go in the wrong direction.

Narmaya

• Ragin Chain -  Fixed an issue where if Narmaya changed stances prior to a Raging Chain, her stance would not change properly.

Soriz

• Rock Smash - Fixed an issue where Soriz's SBA gauge would fill twice upon connecting.

Zooey

• Dragon Gauge - Fixed an issue where after the dragon gauge has been depleted and Zooey uses Peacemaker's Wings during cooldown, the dragon gauge would not recover after.

Anre

• Seven Spears of Lightning - Fixed an issue where using a Raging Strike would cause the game to crash. To fix an issue that caused Raging Chains to whiff after a successful Raging Strike, Seven Spears of Lightning projectiles no longer have a hitbox while a Raging Strike connects.

Grimnir

• Dancing Storm - Fixed an issue where the technical input would still be registered when they had been turned off.
• Wind Crest - Fixed an issue where Wind Crests that can't be used with a Gale Dash would appear.
• Gale Dash - Fixed an issue where using another Gale Dash after finishing a Gale Dash before touching the ground would cause the follow-up version to activate.
• Holy Ray of Purification - Fixed an issue where if blocked by a skill such as Anre's Arm the Bastion, no hitstop would incur.

Nier

• Misfortune - Added a sound effect for when guard point becomes active. Fixed an issue where even if Nier has taken damage, Death would activate guard point.
• Pain - Fixed an issue where if Love's Redemption (standing U) is used before Death returns to a neutral state, Nier would no longer be able to use U skills.
• Klagen Totentanz - Fixed an issue where if blocked by a skill such as Anre's Arm the Bastion, the skill animation would play continuously afterward.
• Drowned in an Exquisite and Eternal Adieu - Fixed an issue where the timer would continue counting down when used in a combo.

Beelzebub

• Karma - Fixed an issue where if Black Flies connects after Karma (U) connects or is blocked, the skill would behave abnormally. Due to this fix, after Karma (U) pulls in an opponent and connects, only the finishing hit connects now.
• Anthem - Fixed an issue where if used in a combo, damage output was calculated incorrectly and would deal more damage than usual.
