New Machina Spec [Launcher]
New Specialization Line
“Launcher” is a new first specialization that Machinas can select
The two second specializations available are “Impactor” and “Luster”
Launcher
Launcher has an experimental augmentation that utilizes a powerful blaster
Shoot powerful ranged attacks using the blaster energy weapon
Skill
Icon
Desc
L - Action
Rush at an enemy’s legs, knocking them down
L - Buster
Strike an enemy relentlessly using the explosive force of your blaster
Laser Piercer
Generate intense light and shoot it forward as a beam
Carnival Rush
Gradually gather light energy within your body, eventually striking enemies within a large range with overwhelming force.
Overview of Class and Skills
Launcher is a Physical Agility class
Melee strikes use the blaster to power up attacks in fluid combos. The ranged skills enable Launcher to deal broad attacks at a distance, but requires time to charge up
You can select various sub-triggers to utilize subskill utility. Watch for opportunities to switch between aggressive and defensive gameplay
Use Illusion Fist during any skill to cancel that skill and use it immediately
Focus and Core Skills
[L-Action] starts melee combos and has low cooldown. Quickly surprise the enemy, using [L-Action] and [L-Buster] to follow up.
[Laser Piercer] is a skill that fires a piercing laser beam. Charge it up and fire it forward after a short delay. [Carnival Rush] is a souped up version of [Laser Piercer] with a long delay, but greatly increased range and damage
Impactor
Impactor is a close-ranged class that specializes in light elemental physical attacks
Utilize your resource, Pulse and Intense Pulse, to enhance your skills
Skill
Icon
Desc
Pulse
Stacks of [Pulse] are generated at a certain rate when primary skills hit. After a certain number of stacks, your movement speed is increased
Intense Pulse
Consume [Pulse] to convert to [Intense Pulse]. Super armor is increased while [Intense Pulse] is active. [Intense Pulse] is consumed by [Intense Shocker] main skills
Domination
Smash enemies from the air, damaging them
[Awakened] Limit Runner
Fly into the air, gathering energy, and deliver a powerful kick to the enemy. Obtain 20 [Pulse] upon hitting the skill. After using this skill, gain absolute critical strikes on skills for 5 seconds.
Overview of Class and Skills
Impactor is a close-proximity class that scales off of agility and light attack
When you convert Pulse to Intense Pulse, you can use Intense Shocker which consumes Intense Pulse as a resource
[Intense Shocker] is activated after using main skills as an EX passive. It reinforces all skills, not just certain skills, but increases chargeup times but allowing you to exceed the damage of the original skills.
Focus and Core Skills
Understand the flagship mechanics of acquiring, converting, and consuming [Pulse] and [Intense Pulse]. Figure out the proper usage of these resources to unlock maximum potential
[Domination] can be used to finish combos for [Stunt Rush] and [Illusive Fist]. Reduce the execution time of skills to drive the attacks at the enemy
Awakening Passive [Limit Runner] can be used to immediately acquire [Pulse] stacks and grant unconditional critical strikes
Luster
Luster is a secondary DPS and buff class that specializes in magical light attacks
Use [Luminance] stacks to enhance your skills and buff effects
Skill
Icon
Desc
Eternal Light Quartz
Use rays of light from your blaster to grant beneficial effects to allies. Does not affect enemies. Increases all elemental attack. Eternal Light buffs stack with other class buffs
Eternal Light Soul
Gather light energy and grant allies beneficial effects. Does not affect enemies. Increase physical and magic attack. Reduce all incoming damage. Recover HP for every successful attack (max 500k). Eternal Light buffs stack with other class buffs
[Awakening] Flood Trick
Place a strengthening pad while dodging backwards. The board itself has no effect, but if you hit [Eternal Light], the Eternal Light buff effect is applied to a wide area
Countdown
Count down, absorbing power. During the countdown, light attack is increased, and when certain skills are used, a wing extends from behind you and attacks enemies. Each wing’s attack has the skill’s attack power
Overview of Class and Skills
Luster is a secondary DPS and buff class that scales with INT and magic damage
Use [Luminance], acquired from main skills, as a resource to enhance your buffs
[Countdown] allows you to deal damage on your own
This is a class that requires you to constantly attack to maintain buffs
Focus and Core Skills
Each buff has a unique activation condition and the one you use will vary depending on the situation
[Eternal Light Quartz] after acquiring the Awakening Passive has a short duration and slightly weaker buff effect, but can also be used offensively. However, since it consumes Luminance, it should be used to benefit allies and attack enemies (T/N little iffy on this translation)
[Eternal Light Soul] has a long duration and strong buff effects, always available for allies. After acquiring the Awakening Passive, it will consume the maximum stacks of Luminance to transform it into the ultimate buff [Eternal Light Explosion]
[Awakening Passive] When [Countdown] and [Castia] are used together, another buff will be applied to your offensive skills

Developer’s Comments
Dragon Raids are the highest difficulty 8-person content, and requires individual players all having the skills and gear to clear. However, it is difficult to reach these standards, and the burden of entry is very high.
In this Lite difficulty, I want to adjust the mechanic failure penalty so that more players can access this content.
Mechanics that immediately result in death have been nerfed, and the debuff effects that overly burden the healers have been removed.
The users who feel the psychological burden when challenging top content now have an opportunity to improve understanding of mechanics and how to defeat the dragon.
Tortree’s deadly poision and Aux’s deadly poison damage reduced
[Drought] status from spring removed(?)
Damage of deadly toxic waves during nighttime reduced
Damage from mushrooms explosion reduced
Reduced damage taken from failing to block Hierendel’s attack
Nest Rewards and Weekly Clears
All difficulties share reward limits and clear counts
Example: If you receive Gate 1 rewards on Lite, you will not get any Gate 1 rewards on Normal

Skill Balancing (PVE)
Translated by Fabulous
General Notes
Basic Attack DPS Balancing (PVE/Close-Ranged)
We have balanced the damage of close-ranged weapons (sword, axe, hammer) to be similar to each other.
Developer’s Note: As a result, all weapons except the Scimitar have been slightly buffed. Projectile weapons were already balanced in the past.
