2. 🤼 Grab System Refinement and Improvements
· Grab skills, previously categorized into close-range, dash, and long-range in the last update, have been further refined. Specifically, long-range grabs have been separated into mid-range and long-range grabs, and the grab detection range for Nova and Corsair has been adjusted.
· The range, pre-action time, and post-action time upon grab failure for each grab skill have been modified according to rules. For example, Seraphin's grab detection range has decreased, and Guardian's Decapitation skill's grab detection range has decreased while the Devi skill's has increased. Detailed adjustments have been made, such as decreasing the aerial grab detection range and increasing the horizontal width of Ninja's Target Fall skill.
