■ Memory Imprint

Developer's Comments:
Today, we would like to introduce a new ""Memory"" item to Adventurers.
Adventurers have met various characters and heard stories of old heroes while exploring the world. Memories, as the name suggests, is a concentrated item of the experience, thoughts, and abilities of various characters. Memories of a wide variety of characters exist, from a common soldier on the battlefield to the powerful, legendary Edana the Ancient.

If you obtain a character's memory and imprint it on the gear, you can obtain special abilities from that memory and use it as an option.

This option preserves the value of existing gear and without causing CP issues, and was made to provide a variety of useful roles in combat.

For example, even adventurers with low CP can expect meaningful roles, such as providing fixed damage to enemies or helping the team with the ""Increase PvP Damage"" effect.
In addition, adventurers with high CP can diversify their battle situation by reflecting damage to the attacker or strengthening their recovery ability.

Just as each region honors a different hero, the types of memories that can be obtained vary from region to region. The memory of Valencia's famous hero ""Cantusa"" can only be enchanted on shoes, and can only be obtained from Valencia Chaos Zone. Memories that can only be enchanted on helmets, armor, and sub-weapons will be revealed later.

When you first obtain a memory, it is likely that it is not yet known whose memory it is.
This ""Unknown Memory"" learns who the owner of the memory is and what abilities it has through appraisal. Unidentified abyssal grade memories can be registered on the Market like an Inscribed Glyph.

Along with the process of obtaining memories and diversifying battle strategies, we hope that Adventurers will experience another charm of Black Desert Mobile.

■ Kunoichi

Developer's Comments:
Kunoichi is an Assassin class that uses weapons and combat prowess to attack and confuse enemies and find gaps in them.

Since her launch, various balance patches have been carried out, and Kunoichi has been relatively unsatisfactory in both her mobility and passive skills.
As an assassin, Kunoichi needed to be able get closer to her enemies faster and deal more damage.

First, [Viper Strike] not only tracks the target, but also adds a move that allows you to move directly before tracking. [Touch of Death] has been improved so that it can deal damage at once by adding [Flow: Shadow Clone] so that it can reliably inflict a threatening blow on the enemy.

Passive skills have also been strengthened to match the direction of the recent balance patches.
An effect that increases the damage of all skills for a certain period of time has been added to [Art of the Ninja], as well as an effect that deals fixed damage equal to a certain percentage of health in [Severe Bleed].

Enemies facing Kunoichi will now have to watch their back and anticipate her movement.
But even this may not be enough to avoid Kunoichi, who can envelop the enemy in attacks like smoke.
