August 6 Update: Einherjar Mist Lord Challenge and the First Balance Pass

•Einherjar Mode Mist Lord challenge opened, with higher drop chances for Holy Weapons and forging materials

•Dried Flower Knot drops enabled

•General stability improvements

This is Phase 1 of the Season 1 rollout — the flagship Soul Harvest mode followed a week later.

Blackarrow: uncharged shots lose their impact effect and fully charged shots have reduced impact; fixed jump displacement after a dodge and fixed collision prompts when targeting stealthed units.

Withered Knight: reduced energy cost on Sprinting Slash and Withering Mark; fixed skills catching on obstacles and being interrupted early.

Mercenary: fixed Sword and Shield auto-blocking in certain situations.

Sorcerer: fixed the Stardust playstyle being unable to use a charged Meteor Charm.

A large bug-fix pass: a PS/Xbox friends-list crash, Hallowgrove Gyldenmist damage issues, incorrect item stacking, gem-affix crashes, display errors on combat bags, weekly tasks and bound equipment, controller audio issues, and match-settlement problems, plus numerous localisation and UI fixes.

The Blackarrow changes are the ones to note — the class came out of launch strong and this patch trimmed its burst without touching core damage. Withered Knight continued to trend up. Einherjar Mist Lord runs are now the most efficient route to Holy Weapons if you can clear the difficulty.
