Dancer

• New Skill; Master of the Stage (Main class only. Passive skill. The power of a dancer's flexibility in full force, making fools of foes. When an enemy within 1 Range of you performs a basic attack on you, while at least 1 other enemy is also within 1 Range of you, there is a chance that you will swerve out of the way, redirecting the attack to one of those other enemies but halving its damage. Triggering this effect requires 10 FP, and an enemy can only be affected by Master of the Stage once per round (unless you are monoclassing Dancer).)
  
• New Skill; Fan Throw (Fan skill. Toss your fan, sending it out as a projectile in a 5 Size Line. The first enemy it encounters takes armor-ignoring damage equal to 5 + its Power, of its damage type, and applies on-hit effects to them. This skill is not a Dance, but it will not stop your Singing nor alter your Tempo. 1M, 2 round CD.)
  
• New Skill; Dancing Circles (Toggle skill. While toggled on, damage you deal (except from One-Two Step) will not defeat enemies, leaving them at 1 HP instead. Furthermore, damage taken from enemies with 10 HP or less is reduced by 50%, as being so weak gives them two left feet.)
  
• Idol Step; Steps now always 5 (instead of Rank). Light ATK scaling changed to 80% + 10% per Rank (from 50% + 25% per Rank).
  
• Curtain Call; If used at 6+ Tempo, the damage now ignores immunity, reflect, and absorb.
  
• One-Two Step; Trigger effect now deals its damage to all enemies within 2 Range of the target.
  
• Dancer's Agility; Effect can now stack to a maximum of 6 attacks/3 rounds.
  
• Rose Toss; Effect adjusted
  
• Dance skill. Throw a rose to a tile in 4 Range, triggering One-Two Steps on all enemies. If the target tile is empty, all enemies within 3 Range of it have a chance to be Charmed LV X (based on Rank, 3 rounds). If it has an enemy, it only affects them, but also inflicts them with Holding Rose LV X if successful. If an enemy is defeated by One-Two Step triggered by this skill, you gain Boisterous Dancer for 5 rounds, and recover FP for each.
     
  
• Holding Rose; Holding a rose. Disables Two-Hand talent bonuses. Against enemies charming you, -LV Hit and -LV% Parry Activation chance.

Solblader

• Radiant Splendor; Damage enhancement is now 75% of Light ATK (instead of 100%). Enhancement effect only lasts for 5 rounds, at which point it reverts to a normal Solsphere.
