[Overwatch] cooldown increased from 5 → 15 seconds. The first two volleys now gain 100% increased fire rate.

Adjusted [Volley Fire] skill firing sequence to maintain continuous fire in the specified direction during the skill duration, improving firing efficiency by approximately 35%:
- After the unit forms up, they first unleash a volley. Then, soldiers in the front, middle, and rear ranks take turns to unleash quick shot. Each rank fires three volleys in sequence; after two volleys, the next rank finishes reloading and begins firing.
During the [Volley Fire] skill, units will continue shooting in the specified direction and will not reposition.

Base movement speed increased from 3.8 → 4.3.
Turning speed increased from 50 → 120.
Optimized unit [Brace] turning logic: Soldiers now prioritize turning only when they can attack an enemy.
- Soldiers in crouched brace: Turn toward the enemy if an enemy is within 11 → 4 meters.
- Soldiers in standing brace: Turn toward the enemy if an enemy is within 11 → 6 meters.

While moving, if there are no enemies within 15m, will attempt to throw a lasso at distant enemies, applying a 50% slow for 2 seconds on hit.
[Sabre Combo] skill adjustments:
- Targeting rule adjustment: changed from prioritizing team targets to each soldier prioritizing the nearest enemy.
- After activation, quickly charges towards the enemy and performs 4 slashing attacks. The first 2 attacks can hit up to 4 targets each, and the last 2 can hit up to 6 targets each. If already in high-speed at activation, the first 2 attacks cannot be interrupted.
- After finishing slashing attacks, accelerates and dashes in the current direction to exit the enemy encirclement.
- No longer deals extra damage at low speed; deals an additional 80% damage in high-speed mode. Deals increased damage to enemies moving toward them, while also receiving more damage from speed boosts.

When equipped with [Bowmanship Doctrine], [Epic Archery Doctrine V], and [Legendary Archery Doctrine II] Doctrines, the [Arrow Rain] skill uses the standard archery projectile trajectory and range (approximately 100m), retains Hwarang's own firing speed, and is affected by the [Arrow Rain] damage coefficient. This skill does not stack with other skills.
