Viken has his combat system tweaked to be simplified and features better crowd control techniques with his faster response. However like the Sentinel, his attacks bounce enemies a lot and lost the ability to otto, previously one of his more staple ways of dealing constant damage. Nonetheless Viken remains viable in the front lines aided by his powerful skills.
Dodge:
- Type: Ground Roll
- Like most melee characters, Ryan too makes good use of the Dodge skill, mainly because most players forget about his defensive measures, which to be honest, aren't all that effective too.
- Viken usually has little need to dodge with it's excellent crowd control, only needed if engaging in standing combat and his scythe twirl which renders him grounded.
- Nature Retainer (→→← + Z)
- Drops a nature seed which sprouts into a plant that hurts an enemy that touches it. Has little use for dungeon style combat.
- Upward Slash (↑Z during a jump)
- Viken swings the scythe upwards and snares his enemies above. Has good reach.
- Scythe Twirl (↓ during a combo)
- Ryan rapidly twirls the scythe for light damage
Notes:
- Jump attack will now launch enemies in the air.
- Viken's rapid attack is now triggered by pressing Down during the combo.
- Nature Retainer now falls one platform below the thrown point, Ryan has to jump in order for it to fall on the same level.

Skill Setup:
Tier 1:
Nature Frenzy
- Type: Projectile, Linear
- Range: Short
- Damage: Multi
- Animation: Short
- Upheaves a trio of thorn vines which shoot from the ground and launches enemies into the air.
- Delay has been removed and the attack executes almost immediately
- Useful for catching launched enemies but difficult to aim due to their low attack height.
Tier 2:
Wild Justice
Wild Justice
- Type: Linear, Pierce
- Range: Short
- Damage: Burst
- Animation: Long
- Ryan summons the power of a wild tiger and strikes across at his enemies, leaping into the air for a returning blow to his position.
- Damage has improved after the patch.
Tier 3:
Crow Whip
Crow Whip
- Type: Splash
- Range: Short
- Damage: Multi
- Animation: Long
- Ryan summons the power of a crow to force his enemies back and unleashes a spinning scythe ahead at his enemies.
- A projected crow now aids in forcing his enemies back instead of needing to go point blank.
Tier 4:
Spiraling Rage
Spiraling Rage
- Type: Linear
- Range: Horizontal
- Damage: Burst - Multi
- Animation: Short
- Ryan strikes the ground, sending a series of forward-inclinded giant thorn vines erupting across the battlefield.
- The vines don't do very high damage on each hit but has enough distance covered to wreck enemies in a line. More useful in clearing monsters than for boss fights otherwise due to lacking power in focus.
- The linear attack pattern works effectively against wide-bodied bosses.
