This update is one of those where at first glance it feels “small,” but once you actually go through everything, you realize it added a lot—especially in terms of combat feel and overall gameplay smoothness.
So instead of just listing patch notes, let’s actually break it down in a way that makes sense when you’re playing.
Cursed Energy Discharge (New Technique + Ishigori Clan)
Let’s start with the main highlight: the new cursed technique tied to the Ishigori clan.
This technique has 5 moves, and you’ll need around 125 mastery to unlock everything.
Move 1 – Granite Blast
- Fires three projectiles forward
- Can be held and released
- Straightforward ranged pressure
Good for:
- Starting fights
- Keeping distance
Move 2 – Granite Rain
- Launches you slightly upward
- Drops energy blasts from above
Feels like:
- A quick AoE tool
- Not super long duration, but useful in combos
Move 3 – Beam Ring
- Throws a ring projectile
- On hit → pulls you into a combo
This is where the kit starts to feel smooth:
- Catch → dash → M1 combo
- Great for chaining damage
Move 4 – Every Last Drop
- Chargeable beam attack
- Release = big burst damage
This is your:
- Main burst tool
- Best used when enemy is locked or stunned
Move 5 – Absolute Granite (Domain Expansion)
Inside the domain:
- Auto-targeting on skills
- Reduced cooldowns
This changes everything:
- Easier combos
- Faster rotations
- Much more consistent damage
Passive Mode – Flawless Flow
Once active:
- Skills feel smoother
- Combos chain faster
Overall, the technique is:
- Not broken
- But very clean and consistent
New World Boss – Ryuu Location & Drops
Now let’s talk about the new boss, because this is where most players will spend time.
Where to Find Ryuu
- Go to Shibuya
- Head toward where Hakari is
- Move all the way to the back
- Enter East Shibuya (new area)
From there:
- You’ll find the Ryuu world boss
Important Boss Mechanic
- Boss HP scales with number of players nearby
So:
- More players = tankier boss
- Solo/small group = easier fights
Ryuu Drops
Here’s what you can get:
- Ryuu’s Necklace
- Ryuu’s Jacket
- Cursed Comb Fragments
- Cursed Hair Strands (~50% drop)
These materials are used for:
- Crafting related gear / technique progression
Gear Stats Example
Ryuu’s Jacket:
- +6 Cursed Energy
- +4 Melee
- +4 Defense
- +2% Cursed Energy Damage
Blossom Cape (craftable/related):
- +6 Stamina
- +12.5% Jump Height
- +2% Cursed Energy Damage
- +2.5% Walk Speed
Not game-breaking, but solid upgrades.
