- Added an effect where hitting an enemy with "Stigma Hammer" while equipped with a Large Shield will increase the duration of the status effect "Taunt" by 5 seconds.
- The duration can be increased up to four times (for a total increase of 20 seconds).
- Changed the "Active: Taunt" skill usage condition from "Available in normal raids" to "Available in all battles."
- Hitting an enemy with "Active: Taunt" triggers the status effect "Taunt" and instantly grants you 1 stage of the status effect "Retribution."
- Added remaining duration to the status effect "Retribution" UI.
- While the status effect "Taunt" is active, hitting an enemy with Stigma Hammer while equipped with a Large Shield restores 100 SP.
- Hitting an enemy with "Stigma Hammer" while equipped with a Large Shield will increase the duration of the status effect "Taunt" and the status effect "Retribution" by 5 seconds each.
- The duration of the status effect "Retribution" can also be increased up to four times (for a total increase of 20 seconds).
- Adjusted the tooltip description for the "Active: Taunt" skill to match the changes above.
- Added new attack skill "Active: Taunt Strike."
- This skill is a leap into the air followed by a slam into the ground, hitting enemies and attracting their attention for a short time.
- "Active: Taunt Strike" also grants the "Taunt" effect when used, but the duration does not change with skill rank and is fixed at 5 seconds.
- In this state, you cannot gain the "Retribution" status effect from a successful "Shield Deflection."
- While the "Taunt" status effect gained from using the 'Active: Taunt' skill is active, using "Active: Taunt Strike" does not remove or renew the existing "Taunt" effect.
- Changed the Smash enhancement effect that is applied on a successful "Active: Shield Deflection" to not apply to "Active: Shield Bash."
- Changed "Active: Shield Deflection" so that even if you fail to deflect, you can still chain into a normal attack, smash attack, or active skill after 60 frames.

- Changed "Heavy Stander Counter" so that it can chain after the third hit of a normal attack after a successful attack.
- "Shield Mastery Rank 9" and "Large Shield Mastery" can now be learned without completing the Story "Skill Challenge: Shield Mastery."
- Fixed "Active: Iron Defense" so that it no longer consumes SP when used.
- Changed the skill so that it cannot have "Waking Stone: Efficient SP" applied, as the skill's SP consumption has been removed.
- If the skill currently has the "Efficient SP" Waking Stone applied, the applied Waking Stone will be changed to Efficient SP (30) and the "awakening failure" state.
- It will be changed to an "awakening failure" state to prevent the skill's max awakening info from being removed if the skill's Waking Stone info is also removed.
- Also changed the lowest rank's Efficient SP (30) so that there is no limit for applicable ranks if you switch to a different Skill Awakening Stone in the future.
- Based on the changes above, the following rewards will be distributed via mail to players who meet the distribution criteria below.
