The following patch notes are PC only. Here's an overview of today's update:

With this revamp we wanted to keep the core gameplay style of the Lunar Lancer while removing some of the awkwardness around the class and increasing the overall damage. Some of the main complaints we wanted to address were the speed of the grapple ability and the awkwardness of entering Lunacy mode. We have removed Crescent Combo from the basic form of the Lunar Lancer because the class was relying too heavily on it, replacing it instead with more movement potential. Lunacy mode (now known as Lunarform) has an increased buff and gives access to new abilities. Additionally, Lunarform is now activated by using the ultimate while at max Moon Power (energy). Energy Regen and Max Energy gain no longer affect the class; instead Moon Power is gained by attacking enemies with basic attacks or abilities. While in Lunarform, Moon Power drains over time and abilities cost Moon Power. At zero Moon Power you will revert to the basic form.

• Basic Abilities:
  
  • Passive - Lunacy - Using abilities or attacking enemies gives Moon Power. Gather enough to become infused with the power of the moon. Lunar Lancers gain Moon Power instead of energy.
  • Basic Attack - Increased damage of basic attack by 280%. Increased hit range and added new animations.
  • New Primary Ability - Grapple – Pulls the player towards their target. On impact deals 350% damage to nearby enemies. If Grapple misses the target it will be refreshed.
  • New Secondary Ability - Lunar Leap - Jump up into the air dealing 350% damage to enemies around the player and gain slow fall. For a short time the grapple becomes Lunar Infused, dealing increased damage. After damaging enemies the player gains an attack buff.
  • New Primary Ability - Lunar Infused Grapple - Pulls the player towards their target. On impact deals 800% damage to nearby enemies, triggering a physical damage buff.
  • Ultimate Ability - Lunarform - This ability can be used at max Moon Power. When used the player transforms, gaining increased movement speed, 50% reduced damage, and 130% increased attack damage. Moon Power drains over time and at zero the player reverts to their basic form.
• Lunarform Abilities
  
  • Basic Attack - Crescent combo - Perform a sweeping attack back and forth dealing 680% damage. This ability has a chance to stun.
  • New Primary Ability - Eclipse Spear - Throw a spear that deals 550% area damage. Costs Moon Power.
  • New Secondary Ability - Lunar Slam - Jump up high into the air and slam down dealing 1150% damage and stunning enemies. Costs Moon Power.
  • Ultimate Ability - Blessing of the Moon - Summon a spear from the heavens that increases stability and movement speed, additionally applies an healing over time buff to allies. It also deals 1350% damage to enemies on impact and deals additional damage over time. Costs Moon Power.
• The Lunar Lancer Class Gem, Shadow Lancer, has been adjusted to work with the new Lunarform.
