Classes

Elsword the Knight (Warrior)

Elsword is a swordsman, capable of executing swift attacks with one hand or strong blows with two. He uses his sword 'Great Sword' and his basic fire abilities to eliminate his foes.

During Destruction Aura, certain commands and skills have a 100% crit chance. Also, getting hit while in Destruction Mode causes Elsword to Stoic Break, knocking all enemies back and gaining Super Armor for its duration. During Vitality Aura certain commands restore mana faster with certain skills requiring less mana.

Aisha the Magician (Sorcerer)

Special Abilities: Charge and Memorize

Being a magician, she can attack by swinging her staff, or shoot fire balls with magic.

If Aisha stands still, she meditates, rapidly recovering mana. 1 second of charging activates Memorization Mode. Using a skill during this mode uses its mana cost and puts it on cooldown, but 'memorizes' it. She can use the memorized skills (maximum of 3~4 memorizations) with no additional mana cost, but at a reduced 70% damage.
