Patch History

Update 37.0 (2024-10-02)

• Changed the description of the Swordsman’s Celerity Incarnon Perk for the Anku.
  • Removed the “With Melee Equipped:” portion as this condition did not work and was always applying the Movement Speed bonus regardless of whether or not Melee was equipped. So now it reads “+30% Movement Speed”.

Hotfix 33.6.5 (2023-08-21)

• Added clarification to Anku’s Incarnon Form description and function. Now, successful slide attacks grant +3 Range and inflict guaranteed Bleed Status Procs for all attacks for 6s.
  • Previously, the Anku’s Incarnon form would increase the bias towards Slash damage, but the result was not as impactful as we hoped. Now, this has been replaced with guaranteed Bleed Procs.
  • While making this change, we found that all melee attacks following a Slide Attack were able to maintain the Incarnon buff (instead of just the intended Slide attack), so long as the attack animations were uninterrupted. We have fixed this issue and incorporated this functionality as a 6s timer, to better facilitate this unintentional, but obviously desirable interaction. So overall, the mechanic is now much more comprehensible and achievable!
  • Added clarification: Some may have noticed that after last week’s Hotfix the description had been changed, but not the functionality - which is now live!
• Increased Anku’s Evolution II damage buffs for the Edge of Justice and Guardian’s Promise upgrades from +20 to +50.

Hotfix 33.6.1 (2023-07-31)

• Fixed issue where Anku Incarnon didn't properly benefit from Range and Slash Damage bonus on Slide Attacks, and didn't inflict any status effects.

Update 33.6 (2023-07-27)

• Introduced.
