More on Black Desert Online: Lahn Awakening is coming to BDO KR on Jan 11th
On January 4th, the Absolute skills were added for the Lahn and a few of Lahn’s skills were reworked.
The Lahn has a total of 24 Absolute skills, and the Absolute skills have higher damage and number of hits, and can hit more targets. A “blocking” animation has been added when the Lahn is attacked while moving backward, and the cooldown of her long-distance mobility skill (Shift + Spacebar) has decreased to 35 seconds. However, her other mobility skill “Spring Breeze” was nerfed so the Lahn can only connect the skill to her LMB skill after landing following the update.
The majority of KR players are satisfied with the Lahn’s Absolute skills. The Lahn’s Absolute skills have wide AoE and can deal decent damage. However, the nerf on Spring Breeze took some mobility away from her. Lastly, although not documented in the patch notes, the Lahn’s attack speed has increased and the animation delay has decreased so her moves are a lot smoother now.
(Skill names are temporary translations and are subject to change.)
[Lahn changes on Jan 4th]
The upgraded main-hand skills, the Absolute skills, have been added.
- The Absolute rank for main skills is available after completing the Awakening Weapon Quests at Level 56.
- You need the maximum rank of each main skill to learn the Absolute rank of that skill.
- The Absolute skills have higher damage and higher number of hits than the regular skills do.
An animation where the Lahn “blocks” enemy attacks has been added when the Lahn is attacked while moving backward.
Fixed an issue where the Lahn would “fall” after using Spring Breeze and Dashing Slash in high altitude.
- You can only use Dashing Slash by left-clicking after the Lahn lands on the ground.
The cooldown of Pendulum Waltz I, II, and III (Shift + Space) has changed to 35 seconds.
[KR Players’ comments]
▷ Grinded at Desert Naga and Crescent Shrine with 187 AP. I could easily finish off regular monsters with Absolute: Spring Breeze (W+F) and Absolute: Crescent Strike (auto activated when using LMB attack). PvE is good.
▷ I’ve grinded for 2 hours with the Absolute skills and for the most part, I’m satisfied with it. The Lahn will be stronger with Awakening and Rabam skills.
▷ Absolute: Orchid Blossom (LMB+RMB) is really good. All monsters around me are dead when my Lahn spins around a few times.
▷ I grinded at Forest Ronars with the Absolute skills. I can easily kill monsters, but at the same time I die a lot because there are no HP recovery skills.
▷ If you don’t have enough skill points, get Absolute: Crescent Strike (auto activated when using LMB attack), Absolute: Encirclement (Spacebar after certain skills), and Absolute: Orchid Blossom (LMB+RMB).
▷ Along with the addition of Absolute skills, the Lahn’s attack speed increased and animation delay decreased. The Lahn can deal more damage as well as connect skills more smoothly.
▷ I know the Lahn is a lot stronger with this update, but there are some changes that I don’t like. I used to be able to attack while moving with Spring Breeze (W+F), but now I have to wait until I land to attack. They took away mobility and combo efficiency from Lahn.
▷ I really hate this change with Spring Breeze (W+F). The damage output increased with the Absolute skills, but the overall grinding speed actually decreased because her mobility was taken away.
▷ Spring Breeze (W+F) was nerfed, but the cooldown for Pendulum Waltz (Shift + Space) decreased to 35 seconds. It’s still quite long, but so much better than a 1 minute cooldown.
▷ A 35-second-long cooldown for Pendulum Waltz is fine. I just wish that I could move more distance per skill.
▷ Finally the Lahn has a block animation! It should have been there from the beginning, but better late than never.
