If within the top-10 ranking, become a Taekwon Ranker and receive the following bonuses: Can perform an infinite chain of kicks after using one. If above level 90, triple Max HP and SP, and gain access to all Taekwon skills. Bonuses are removed upon job change to Soul Linker or Star Gladiator. /taekwon command shows the top-10 ranking. Only usable as Taekwon. Skill requirement is Kihop 5.	Missions work the same with receiving a random monster and having to kill 100 of them. No longer gives a ranking point for each completed mission. Taekwon Ranker status no longer exists, thus all the bonuses associated with it no longer apply. When completing a mission, gives a permanent 0.1% damage bonus to all that monster's traits, except for size. E.g. if you complete a Hode mission, you will receive a 0.1% damage bonus to Earth and a 0.1% damage bonus to Brute monsters. This damage bonus can stack up to 5% for each element and race. When a monster is completed, it's out of the pool for eligible monsters. As there are not 50 monsters of each trait, the missions for monsters will be repeatable. However, a mission does not become available to be repeated until all eligible monsters in the pool have been killed. E.g. there are only 5 Angel race monsters available in the pool. When they are completed, you will have a 0.5% damage increase towards Angel race monsters. To not limit the damage increase to only 0.5%, these monsters will become repeatable, but not until all other monsters have been killed at least once. When all monsters in the pool have been killed, all eligible monsters become available to be repeated again. When you max out on the damage bonus on certain elements and races, those monsters will no longer be in the pool at all. E.g. if you have gotten to a 5% damage increase on both Earth and Brute monsters, Hode and any other Earth/Brute monsters will no longer be in the eligible monsters pool. However, if you have only completed it for Earth and not Brute, Hode and other Earth/Brute monsters will still be available. The damage bonus stacks additively with card/equipment based bonuses. Usable as both Soul Linker and Star Gladiator classes, and bonuses persist even after job changing. The bonus is halved for magic damage, so a 0.05% increase instead of 0.1% increase, and maxes out at 2.5% instead of 5%. When all elements and races are completed, Taekwon Mission is no longer usable for that character. No skill requirements.

Soul Linker Rework / Soul Ascetic

The goal of Soul Ascetic and the Soul Linker rework is to remove its current role as a 'link slave', and instead have it become an active hybrid support/single target magic DPS class. It can hyperfocus into one role, but should still be good with a hybrid build. There are changes seen to almost all Soul Linker skills, some minor, some major, and a bunch of new skills added both to the Soul Linker and Soul Ascetic tree.

This cooldown does NOT apply in WoE/PVP. Casting Kaupe on a player with cooldown (regardless of the source) gives the caster a fail message that the targeted player is on cooldown.
Kaite	Max skill level of 7 Gives player 1/1/1/1/2/2/2 number of reflects for ANY magic damage from any players OR non-boss monsters below level 80.

For the first 5 seconds after Kaite is applied magic damage can be reflected from ANY monster both boss and non-boss regardless of their level. For MVPs this is restricted to single-target magic damage. This can only be done once during that Kaite status and will also subtract from number of reflects left (so if a boss hits with a magic skill multiple times in the first 5 seconds of the Kaite, only the first one will be blocked, unless a new Kaite is applied to the player). Kaite has priority over Kaupe

Soul Linker New Skills

Name	Effect
Spirit Link	Max skill level of 1. Replaces all old soul links. Does NOT apply Spirit status to the target, unless they are a transcended first class (for the old Rebirth Spirit effect). Tethers the Soul Linker/Ascetic to the targeted party member. The Soul Linker/Ascetic can only be tethered to one person at a time. Enables the caster to cast any Ka-skills and the 4 main Talisman buffs on their tethered target. Tether has a range of 15 cells. If the tether breaks any Talisman buffs are removed (both the main buff but also the buff gained from proccing it). If skill is cast on a different party member while currently tethered to someone, the current tether is removed alongside all their Talisman buffs, and you are tethered to the new target instead. Duration of 350 seconds SP cost of 100 No cast time
Soul Unity	Max skill level of 1. Apply a buff to yourself that makes any party member in a 9 cell range also be affected by the next Ka-skill cast on your tethered target. The buff is removed after one cast of a Ka-skill. Can also use it with Soul Swap, where any party member within a 9 cell range is also moved to the caster's location. Buff is also removed if used in conjunction with Soul Swap. Duration of 20 seconds (or until a skill has been cast) Cast time of 4 seconds. Cooldown of 10 seconds. Cooldown is not applied until Soul Swap or the Ka-skill has been cast. SP cost of 100
Talisman buff mechanic	This is a general description that applies for the following Talisman buffs: Talisman of Blue Dragon Talisman of White Tiger Talisman of Red Phoenix Talisman of Black Tortoise These buffs can only be cast on your tethered ally, but will affect both your tethered ally and yourself. They have a 10 second shared cooldown. So if one of them is cast, they all go on a 10 second cooldown. Only one Talisman buff can be active at a time. If a new Talisman buff is cast, the effects from the previous one are removed (both the proc and the Talisman buff). Whenever the caster and the tethered ally hit the same monster within 3 seconds one or multiple effects are applied to both the caster and tethered ally. This proc has a duration of 15 seconds, but also a cooldown of 15 seconds for that monster AND a 10 second global cooldown. This means that if you are consistently hitting the same monster, you can only proc the Talisman every 15 seconds. Instead if you are consistently switching monsters you can proc it every 10 seconds. AOE spells can only proc it once regardless of the number of monsters hit.
Talisman of Blue Dragon	Max skill level of 5. 2 second cast time. When Talisman of Blue Dragon is procced, the Soul Linker/Ascetic and their linked ally gain movement speed equal to Speed Pot movement speed for 15 seconds and recover (3 * skillLV)% Max SP.
Talisman of White Tiger	Max skill level of 5. 2 second cast time. When Talisman of White Tiger is procced, the Soul Linker/Ascetic and their linked ally gain immunity to negative status effects and Dispell for 15 seconds and increase the duration of all their buffs by skillLV seconds. Buffs from Gospel are extended by half the duration. The following buffs can be extended: Endure Energy Coat Improve Concentration Adrenaline Rush Dubious Salesmanship Crazy Uproar Angelus Blessing Increase AGI Kyrie Eleison Two-Hand Quicken One-Hand Quicken Full Adrenaline Rush Over Thrust Weapon Perfection Enchant Poison Aspersio B.S Sacramenti Gloria Impositio Manus Magnificat Defender Auto Guard Providence Devotion Reflect Shield Spear Quicken Shrink Endow Blaze Endow Quake Endow Tornado Endow Tsunami Hindsight Chemical Protection Armor Chemical Protection Helm Chemical Protection Shield Chemical Protection Weapon Alchemy Efficiency Explosion Spirits Steel Body Aura Blade Frenzy Parry Tension Relax Concentration True Sight Wind Walker Cart Boost Maximum Over Thrust Melt Down Cart Efficiency Enchant Deadly Poison Assumptio Duple Light Gospel effects - these are at half effectiveness Double Cast Full Chemical Protection Sprint status Mild Wind Kaupe Kaizel Kaahi Kaite Spirit status Talisman of White Tiger Talisman of White Tiger Proc Cicada Skin Shed Mirror Image Ninja Aura Adjustment Increase Accuracy Madness Canceller Magical Bullet Gatling Fever Platinum Altar Gatling Berserk Intensive Aim active effect Unleashed Spirit Talisman of Magician Food/consumable buffs with the exception of EXP manuals and Life Insurance Provoke (only from Aloevera)
Talisman of Red Phoenix	Max skill level of 5. 2 second cast time. When Talisman of Red Phoenix is procced, the Soul Linker/Ascetic and their linked ally gain (2 * skillLV) flat and (3 * skillLV)% DEF and MDEF pierce, and full ignore to soft DEF and MDEF for 15 seconds and recover (3 * skillLV)% Max HP. While the proc is active, they also recover 3% Max HP every 2 seconds. The % pierce stacks additively with pierce from equipment. The flat pierce is subtracted after % pierce.
Talisman of Black Tortoise	Max skill level of 5. 2 second cast time. When Talisman of Black Tortoise is procced, the Soul Linker/Ascetic and their linked ally gain (4 * skillLV)% increased healing and (3 * skillLV)% damage reduction for 15 seconds and take (10 * skillLV)% reduced damage from the next instance of damage. The (3 * skillLV)% damage reduction goes into effect after the reduction from the first instance of damage.

Soul Ascetic New Skills

Name	Effect
Esma combo rotation	As Soul Ascetic with Unleashed Spirit learned, the caster is able to perform a combo rotation involving Esma and the 4 main pre-cursor Es-skills to enable Unleashed Spirit, which for a brief period allows the caster to cast Esma freely. Shortly explained the rotation is as follows: Estin/Estun -> Esma -> Estin/Estun (opposite from first used) -> Esma -> Espa -> Esma -> Eswhoo -> Esma Longer explanation: Each time Esma is used as part of this rotation (so followed by one of these Es-skills), the player gains a stack. The valid Es-skills are Estin, Estun, Espa, and Eswhoo. The first stack shows as the spirit of the Blue Dragon and can only be gained from either using Estin or Estun then followed by Esma. The second stack adds the spirit of the White Tiger and is gained from either Estin or Estun then followed by Esma. HOWEVER, to gain this stack you need to use the opposite of the one you started with. So if you started the rotation and got the first stack with Estin -> Esma, the second stack can only be obtained using Estun -> Esma, and vice versa. The third stack adds the spirit of the Red Phoenix and is gained from using Espa followed by Esma. The fourth stack adds the spirit of the Black Tortoise and is gained from using Eswhoo followed by Esma. The stacks have a duration of 10 seconds, but refresh each time a new stack is added. So if you have the first stack, you have 10 seconds to gain the second stack or you have to start over, etc etc. This also means that if you have 4 stacks (max) you can no longer refresh the duration, thus you are forced to either consume or lose them. Another mechanic that works in combination is that stacks are also applied to the monster in a similar manner (these can only be seen by you and show up as balls spinning above the monster). These stacks are simply applied each time the monster is hit by Esma no matter which skill is used as a pre-cursor. These stacks also have a duration of 10 seconds, but are refreshed each time the monster gains a new stack. The monster can have a maximum of 4 stacks. Now when the player has at least 2 stacks, they can activate Unleashed Spirit, which enables free use of Esma (explained further down).
Espa	Max skill level of 5 Deals magic damage to target MATK ratio of (100 * skillLV)% Cast time of 0.75 seconds After-cast delay of 0.5 seconds SP cost of 10 + 5 * skillLV Enables use of Esma after for 3 seconds. Can only be used while the player has the spirits of the Blue Dragon and White Tiger (2 stacks of Unleashed Spirit rotation).
Eswhoo	Max skill level of 5 Deals magic damage to target MATK ratio of (200 * skillLV)% Cast time of 1 second After-cast delay of 0.5 seconds SP cost of 10 + 5 * skillLV Enables use of Esma after for 3 seconds. Can only be used while the player has the spirits of the Blue Dragon, White Tiger, and Red Phoenix (3 stacks of Unleashed Spirit rotation).
Unleashed Spirit	Max skill level of 1. Self-targeted buff that can be activated when the player has at least 2 spirit stacks. Depending on the number of stacks while activating, the duration of the buff changes: 2 stacks: 3 seconds 3 stacks: 6 seconds 4 stacks (max): 10 seconds The duration of this buff can be extended if you hit a monster that has 4 stacks with Esma. The current duration is then tripled, so at most the duration of the skill is 30 seconds. This extension of the buff can only be done once while its active. While the buff is active, you also cannot gain any new spirit stacks nor apply any stacks to any monsters. During the buff the ratio of Esma is also reduced by 25%.
Talisman of Magician	Max skill level of 1. Self-targeted buff skill that makes the caster deal maximum MATK. Duration of 10 seconds. Costs 10 Soul Energy. Cast time of 1.5 seconds. After-cast delay of 0.5 seconds. SP cost of 100.
Soul Collect	Max skill level of 1. Passive skill. Enables the caster to gain Soul Energy.

Star Gladiator Rework / Sky Emperor

Star Gladiator Skill Adjustments

Name	Old	New
Knowledge of the Sun, Moon and Stars	Max skill level of 10. Increase weight limit by (10 * skillLV)% when on a SLS designated map.	Max skill level of 5. Increase weight limit by 200 * skillLV.
Hatred of the Sun, Moon, and Stars	Max skill level of 3. Designates a target as a Sun, Moon, or Star target under certain restrictions.	Max skill level of 10. No longer designates a target as a SLS target, as that mechanic has been removed. Each time an enemy is killed on a map increase your damage by (0.2 * skillLV)% towards that enemy. This caps at 10 for a total of 20% damage increase vs that enemy at skill level 10. Dying does not reset the count. When leaving the map, the damage increase is reset. Casting the skill will show the current damage increase for the enemies that spawn on the map. Slaves and non-naturally spawned enemies do not count towards the bonus.
Union of the Sun, Moon and Stars	Max skill level of 1. Can only be cast while in Spirit status. Applies the Fusion buff, which does the following: Makes the character fly off the ground and increase their movement speed. All skills and attacks will never miss and ignore the target's DEF. All skills and attacks will critically strike. Each attack decreases HP by 2%. Attacking with less than 20% HP results in instant death.	Max skill level of 2. Can be cast regardless of state. Applies the Fusion buff, which does the following: Makes the character fly off the ground and increase their movement speed. Makes it possible for all offensive skills to critically strike, but do not fully ignore DEF if they do so. Instead they ignore 50% of the enemy's DEF. The 50% DEF ignore is multiplicative with DEF ignore from equipment. If the skill crits it will still ignore accuracy check. Skills that can crit outside of Fusion still fully ignore DEF if they critically strike. For CRIT calculation the enemy's CRIT shield is not taken into account. This means that with 100 CRIT, you will always critically strike. No longer decreases HP on each attack. Disables natural SP regen. Every 5 seconds the Max SP you can have is reduced by 1%. Works like the Max HP reduction from OGH Chivalry 2 where it reduces the amount you can heal up to. The debuff is removed on death OR by casting level 2 of this skill. Level 2 of this skill removes the Max SP debuff. Level 2 has a fixed cast time of 3 seconds and can only be cast once out of combat. Level 1 has an SP cost of 100 and level 2 has a cost of 0.
Demon of the Sun, Moon and Stars	Max skill level of 10. Gives (3 * skillLV)% ASPD. Permanently gives the player the Blind effect.	Max skill level of 10. Gives (0.5 * skillLV)% ASPD. Gives 2 * skillLV CRIT. Gives 1% ASPD for every 4 CRIT up to 25% ASPD. So it maxes out at 100 CRIT and additional CRIT after that does not give anymore ASPD from this skill. No longer gives the player the Blind effect.
Comfort of the Sun	Max skill level of 4. Can only be used on a Solar Day when the player is on a map designated as the Sun Place. Has a duration of (80 * skillLV) seconds. Increases soft DEF based on Base Level, DEX, and LUK. SP cost of 80 - 10 * skillLV.	Max skill level of 5. Can always be used. Has a duration of 300 seconds. SP cost of 20 * skillLV. Cleanses Freeze and Blind statuses when casting the skill. This means that the skill can be cast during Freeze. Gives (20 * skillLV)% resistance to Freeze and Blind statuses. This is multiplicative with resistance from equipment. Only 1 Protection skill can be active at any time. Using a different Protection skill cancels this one and starts the other one. 10 second cooldown shared between the other Protection skills.
Comfort of the Moon	Max skill level of 4. Can only be used on a Lunar Day when the player is on a map designated as the Moon Place. Has a duration of (80 * skillLV) seconds. Increases FLEE based on Base Level, DEX, and LUK. SP cost of 80 - 10 * skillLV.	Max skill level of 5. Can always be used. Has a duration of 300 seconds. SP cost of 20 * skillLV. Cleanses Stone Curse and Sleep statuses when casting the skill. This means that the skill can be cast during Stone Curse or Sleep. Gives (20 * skillLV)% resistance to Stone Curse and Sleep statuses. This is multiplicative with resistance from equipment. Only 1 Protection skill can be active at any time. Using a different Protection skill cancels this one and starts the other one. 10 second cooldown shared between the other Protection skills.

Cleanses Stun and Silence statuses when casting the skill. This means that the skill can be cast during Stun or Silence. Gives (20 * skillLV)% resistance to Stun and Silence statuses. This is multiplicative with resistance from equipment. Only 1 Protection skill can be active at any time. Using a different Protection skill cancels this one and starts the other one. 10 second cooldown shared between the other Protection skills.

Buffs are not lost on death. EXP is not lost on death. An advanced battle manual equivalent EXP buff is applied.
