Dark Avenger & Hell Knight

← All patch notes

Three answers to mages (a life drain that scales with gear, a short magic reflect window and the Templars' Magical Mirror), a Dark Panther that grows with your gear, and Shield Slam now deals damage.

Death Drain

New skill2026-10-25

Learned: Levels 40, 43, 46 ... 73, 75 (13 levels)

Retail Interlude

Did not exist (Drain Health is a weak magic drain that ignores your weapon).

L2 Balance

• Drains an enemy up to 600 away: 100% of the damage really dealt comes back to you as HP.
• Physical damage from P.Atk against the target's P.Def: about 630 at level 13 with full S gear against full S armor.
• Critical hits deal double (base critical 10 + STR).
• 1 s cast and 25 s reuse, both shortened by Atk. Spd. (reuse x 333 / Atk. Spd.).
• Own violet icon, dark copy of the Lilim boss drain animation.

Avenger's Wrath

New skill2026-10-25

Learned: Levels 40, 43, 46 ... 73, 75 (13 levels)

Retail Interlude

Did not exist (Corpse Burst is a Necromancer spell).

L2 Balance

• Explodes a monster corpse up to 400 away: everyone within 200 of it takes the blast; the corpse is consumed.
• Physical damage from P.Atk against each target's P.Def: 22% (level 1) to 37% (level 13) of P.Atk against 1500 P.Def, at most 800 to 1800.
• Level 13 matches a buffed Necromancer's Corpse Burst with Blessed Spiritshots: about 730 against full S armor.
• Critical hits deal double (base critical 15 + STR).
• 1.5 s cast, 20 s reuse like Corpse Burst, shortened by Atk. Spd.
• Own red-black icon, black copy of the ghost self-destruct explosion (Corpse Burst's own animation is built into the game engine).

Reflect Magic

New skill2026-10-25

Learned: Levels 40, 43, 46 ... 73, 75 (13 levels)

Retail Interlude

Did not exist.

L2 Balance

• Self buff for 5 seconds: spells (direct magic damage, not damage over time) hit you for only 75% (level 1) to 50% (level 13).
• 30% to 60% of the spell's full damage goes back to the caster.
• Also protects your summon (Dark Panther): spells on it do the same reduced damage while the buff lasts (no reflection from the summon).
• A dark copy of Ultimate Defense's shield aura shows on you and on your summon while it lasts, so mages can see it and stop casting. Countdown next to the HP bar.
• Fixed 0.5 s cast, 60 s reuse.

Reflect Magic per level (13 levels)

Lv	Learned at	Spell damage taken	Sent back to caster	MP
1	40	75%	30%	35
