### Stellar Enhanced

*Raya and Snow White have received powerful Stellar Magic Enhancements in the form of improved or entirely new abilities.*
* **Raya**: When fully leveled and in the right conditions, Raya has very high damage potential. However, because so much of the utility of her kit is locked behind talents and her signature ability she is hard for players to evaluate. The following changes are intended to make her more accessible as well as to add some utility to help her take down big boss enemies as initially intended with her design.
	+ Attributes
		- Attack +5%
		- Focus +1%
	+ Core
		- Increased the chance to gain Focus Buffs from 20% to 30%
		- Increased Focus Buff Max stack from 5 to 10
		- Increased the Duration on Focus Buffs from her Core Basic Hits to from 5 to 10 seconds
