|---|---|---|---|
| Crossbow | Ra’ghon | Greatbow | Ranged |
Archer’s Crossbow was designed to be attached to his arm so that he can move freely and swiftly, while Ra’ghon is a special glove that allows him to bring out the power of the light. He has refined his skills to be able to move swiftly while maintaining deadly accuracy to overtake his enemies. Archer never stops moving while raining bolts upon his foes. He can also concentrate his powers to launch a powerful shot.
With Greatbow in hand, Archer stands above the battlefield staring down at his enemies. Greatbow is much larger than a regular bow, and his agility harmonizes with powerful arrows that are each as long as a spear. With Greatbow’s capability to fire from a remarkably long-range, he can deal lethal damage more quickly and from farther away.

| Axe | Ornamental Knot | Iron Buster | Axe/Ornamental Knot | Melee |
Berserkers instil fear in their enemies with a battle axe in each hand and various grabs to stop them in their tracks. His monstrous axes simply eviscerate enemies, with grabs that ensure the Berserker is a threat to anyone that crosses his path. The sheer chaos they bring to the battlefield is a definite boon, but the heart of their power lies in his versatility. They can shake up enemy bases, protect allies, and much more.
Berserker awakens and equips a hand cannon called the Iron Buster, allowing them to bombard enemies from a distance. The greater threat of the Iron Buster is its utility. Not only is it able to deal massive damage, it allows this monstrous class to jump high up into the air and slam down on the ground. He can also launch off the ground using the blast of the Iron Buster to get anywhere they need to be, and seeing this behemoth fall from the skies strikes fear into the hearts of even the toughest enemies. Just as a Sorceress brings chaos in deception, so too do Berserkers with their sheer presence.
Succession Berserker picks up his Axe and Ornamental Knot once more to brutally overwhelm his foes. Whereas Tantu’s Iron Buster helped make up for his technical weak points, the Berserker returns to honing the self. Born with exceptional strength and physique, he takes on enemy attacks at the frontlines, protecting his allies as both an offensive and defensive player. Show any weakness before the Berserker, and his barrage of attacks may relieve you of your will to fight.
| Main Weapon | Sub Weapon | Awakening Weapon | Succession Weapon | Combat Style |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shamshir | Haladie | Dual Glaives | Shamshir/Haladie | Mid-range |
Hashashin sweeps through the desert armed with the Shamshir, a curved blade akin to the crescent moon, and the Haladie, a relic brimming with sand magics, thereby becoming one with the sand to deal unconventional attacks. He can swiftly vanish from his enemies’ sights, then suddenly strike at their heart, while summoning countless whirlwinds of sand to confuse them. Some are mere illusions, others will entrap his foes, leaving them defenceless to be mercilessly cut down by his sharpened Shamshir. Thanks to the divine power of Aal bestowed unto him, Hashashin does not falter in desert sands but can move with greater agility.
Awakened Hashashin takes up Dual Glaives to purge the foes of Aal, after having overcome his trials and received the true blessing of Aal. Wielding the enormous dual blades as if they were light as a feather, he unleashes a flurry of unavoidable attacks, pushing his enemies to the brink. Hashashin overcame Hadum’s temptations, which appeared before him disguised in the voice of Aal, by conquering Hadum’s shadow. And by the authority of the sands, he absorbed the enemy’s power and created the sand serpent, which he unleashes to make his foes quiver in fear.
Upon Succession, Hashashin can move with greater speed and casts even stronger spells. Having mastered the power of the Haladie, Hashashin breezes through the sandstorms he unleashes upon the battlefield, blinding enemies and catches them unawares. He surprises foes from within his whirlwinds of sand, or sets the whirlwinds onto his enemies, confusing them from afar. With even stronger Haladie spells, Hashashin can now quickly catch his opponents off guard with mighty attacks.

| Blade | Horn Bow | Crescent Blade | Blade/Horn Bow | Melee |
Musa enters battle with his Blade and Horn Bow. He is a master of eastern martial arts, extremely quick and great with skill combos. When he uses the skill Chase, he is able to take the initiative due to his speed. This allows him to dominate and stay the predator, not the prey. Rather than facing multiple opponents at a time, he is better suited to target a single enemy’s weakness with a quick strike and retreat. This gives him a unique style in causing confusion with hit-and-run tactics. He deals the greatest single target damage.
Awakened Musa takes up his Crescent Blade, a large scimitar shaped blade, and delivers attacks in elegant slashing motions. He maintains his maneuverability and nimbleness, but with much heavier swings compared to his Blade. This allows Musa to smash through enemy lines and crush all that stand in his way. A bevy of new skills makes him harder to control, but mastery of these new tools bestows a power that is well worth the wait.
Upon Succession, Musa wields Blade and Horn Bow in battle to take down enemies mercilessly. The swing of his blade is even sharper than before and deals immense damage to cut through the cycle of karma of his past. He confuses enemies with quick steps, then uses Stamina to strike the decisive blow. He strikes down his foes with every attack of the Blade and Horn Bow and seizes control of the battlefield.

| Shortsword | Shuriken, Kunai | Sura Katana | Shortsword, Shuriken/Kunai | Melee |
Ninja uses Shortsword as their main weapon and can choose between two sub-weapons. It is an assassin class that uses Shuriken to go completely offensive or Kunai for more defense. They combine Ninjutsu and stealth to appear behind enemies in an instant to deliver a fatal blow. Few, if any, can withstand a barrage of attacks from a Ninja. Unlike Kunoichi, however, Ninja cannot block attacks, So it is best for them to stay hidden as long as they can, and go in for the kill when they are certain they will succeed.
Six katanas come together to form one Sura Katana. Becoming one with this weapon, he becomes a shadow on the battlefield that appears only to deliver quick and power single blows to cut down his enemies. No longer a silent killer, he can deliver finishing blows the moment someone lets down their guard, decimating their foes. If you can even see the Ninja, it may already be too late. The lucky few who survive his wrath say that his shadow looks like the phantom of battle, “Sura.”
Upon succession, Ninja once again returns to his trusted Shortsword and Shuriken to decimate his foes. The Sura Katana served him well, but with the lives of his loved ones on the line, he chooses to improve upon what was most familiar to him. He can perfectly conceal his movement to get up close to his enemies. He then unleashes devastating blows that leaves them bleeding and finishes them off with a clean strike. Honing his skills to be more agile and dangerous than ever, Ninja’s presence on the battlefield can immediately be felt but not seen.

| Kyve | Talisman | Kibelius | Kyve/Talisman | Melee/Ranged Magic/Mid-range |
Sage wields the Kyve, a weapon of his own creation, and the Talisman, which he controls with his own magics, to freely move between points in space. Sage is the Last Ancient, originally from an Ancient Kingdom whose ruins are scattered all over the world, awakened after a long slumber. He wields the infinite power of the Kyve, which instantly alters space to inflict devastating damage upon his opponents. If suddenly assaulted by his foes, he can quickly unleash a blast to push them away or use a variety of magics such as shifting his form to escape from danger.
Reclaiming the Kibelius he crafted many moons ago, the awakened Sage is now able to access all of his once dormant ancient skills. By concentrating momentarily, Sage can draw from the inherent power of the Kibelius. When fully charged, Sage’s primal power makes quick work of his foes, as fast as lightning flashing in a storm. Sage can also summon Arkanon, an ancient weapon empowered by his Kyve, This powerful weapon enables Sage to move unpredictably between enemies and wreck havok in battle. With such an arsenal, all who face the Sage will be sure to meet an electrifying end.
Upon Succession, Sage fully restores the once-sealed powers of the Kyve to completion, to take on his fate once more. Sage thus gains the power to manipulate not just space but time as well. He can now accelerate the flow of time around him to reduce the cooldowns of his skills, allowing Sage to unleash powerful attacks when his enemies least expect, who may suddenly find themselves out of space and time.

| Gauntlet | Vambrace | Gardbrace | Gauntlet/Vambrace | Melee |
Striker’s physical prowess makes his body itself a deadly weapon. With Gauntlet and Vambrace to protect his fists and arms, he can combo multiple skills so naturally that it looks like a single, endless skill. No matter what skills he may be using, his movements always flow together like water, whether they be grabs, knock ups, or any of his other numerous techniques.
Striker overcame a fight within himself. Victory over the physical manifestation of his energy, called Echo Spirit, unleashed his awakened state. When the awakened Striker engages in hand-to-hand combat, he resembles a ferocious beast that’s lost its mind. There are numerous skills he can use after a grab skill, so he tends to do much better against fewer opponents. Once he takes hold of an enemy, he can deal a huge burst of damage by combining his grabs and Spirit Echo skills.
Succession Striker is able to store the violently exuding energy of the beast and draw from it in times of need. Seeking true, inner strength over observable fury, the Striker has trained long and hard to control his fighting aura. The energy of the beast emitted after swift attacks inflict powerful damage over quick intervals, protecting and encircling the Striker. Lose sight of the Striker hiding his aura during his approach, and he will knock you out with one powerful blow.

| Longsword | Shield | Great Sword | Longsword/Shield | Melee |
Warrior is a weathered veteran that takes advantage of his physical strength by executing skills while wielding a one handed longsword and shield. Charging into the heat of battle, he can grab and smash his enemies or deliver a swift and mighty strike with his longsword. He can also absorb hits on the frontline with his shield. He is an extremely versatile fighter on the battlefield who can get through even the toughest of situations.
Awakened Warrior heaves a Great Sword and swings it with a might that matches its size. When his rage reaches its peak, he becomes unstoppable. His unmatched physical prowess brings utter chaos to the battlefield, supplemented by his surprisingly quick skills.

Wizard crushes his foes by using the power of the natural elements, which he gathers with his Staff. He is a true master who can harness the power of gigantic fireballs, lighting strikes, and howling blizzards with ease. He is a walking powerhouse, and is even able to use this magic to cover his weaknesses in close quarters combat. He can also protect himself or allies within an area. He may be slow on his feet, but his magic even makes it possible to leap through space and surprise enemies with a thrust from his Dagger.
Godr Sphera is a magical tool that allows Wizard to focus his magical powers to a whole new level. They help bring forth Marg, the guardian of Fire, and Arne, the guardian of Water. With these by his side, the Wizard is able to rain down even greater destruction upon his enemies.

| Serenaca | Mareca | Serenaca/Mareca | Melee |
Corsair is armed with Serenaca, a flexible blade that can change its length at will, and Mareca, the jewel of the sea that grants the bearer the power of the tides. As a melee fighter, her free-form bladework is made up of fluid combos centered around unique rope movement skills that keep her afloat. No one is quite as spontaneous as the Corsair when she glides about using her rope maneuvers only to suddenly protract her blade and strike her opponents at their most vulnerable moment. Using the mysterious powers of Mareca, Corsair can transform into a mermaid with the ability to summon gigantic waves to crush her opponents as she dances with the Dream Whales from the Lost Sea of Dreams. Like any good seafaring pirate, she can quickly move about in the water and remain submerged longer than others.
With Patraca—a weapon imbued with the dense mist of the Crow’s Nest—in her hands, the Awakened Corsair can easily rush down enemies while surrounded by its mist. Distant enemies aren’t safe either, as she can pierce them with her harpoon from afar, dragging them into her mist and neutralizing them.
And of course, as the beloved captain of the Slippery Scallywags, she can give out orders for her crew to follow. Her loyal Scallywags are armed to the teeth with cannons, and ready to launch an artillery barrage the second Corsair gives the command. All this allowing Corsair to control the battlefield and surprise her enemies.
Any foe unfortunate enough to run into Corsair stands no chance of escaping her mists, especially with her loyal crew at her side.
Upon Succession, Corsair takes the last remaining Song of the Waves from the Lost Sea of Dreams and unlocks the dormant power of her Mareca so she may begin her long voyage once more. Now harnessing the power of the waves, Corsair easily breaks her enemies’ defenses with the dance of her Dream Whales, now more energized than before, and waves infused with the power of the Mareca. With increased movement fluidity, she dives relentlessly into the center of enemy lines to drown them out with the might of the sea.

| Kriegsmesser | Ornamental Knot | Vediant | Kriegsmesser/Ornamental Knot | Melee/Mid-range |
Dark Knight wields the lethal but beautiful Kriegsmesser. She is the daughter of Sylvia, whose beauty resembles the moon. Her power as a magical swordsman comes from amplifying the energy of spirits. She can attack both in front of her and beside her, dashing between foes and rendering them all helpless with instantaneous, decisive blows. Despite being a melee class, she cannot take a lot of hits. Instead opting to block using her Kriegsmesser or attack from range.
Upon Succession, Dark Knight faces her opposition once more with Kriegsmesser and Ornamental Knot. She will assault anyone who opposes her self-proclaimed justice with powerful attacks. Somewhat coarse, and a little rough, but she elusively wields Kriegsmesser as she penetrates the heart of the battlefield to take down enemies and turn the tide. Effortlessly wielding skills with her Kriegsmesser and Ornamental Knot, Dark Knight becomes more aggressive and dangerous, allowing her to bestow true justice upon her foes.

| Battle Axe | Shield | Jordun | Battle Axe/Shield | Melee |
The Guardian charges headlong into battle taking advantage of her tough fortitude and hacks away at her enemies without mercy. She never gives ground, no matter the circumstance. Instead, she grabs the enemy’s throat and slams down on them with her shield and finishes them with her battle axe. Despite such fervor for battle, she can hold steady with her shield and wait patiently for the perfect chance, then strike like a nimble beast. Her greatest attribute lies in her might and the impact she delivers with every blow.
Awakened Guardian now holds Jördun. Within it rests the Holy Flame, Ynix, said to be able to immolate the gods. As if light as a feather, she wields the massive blade and brings down wrath upon her enemies. The flame of Jördun deals damage in a large area with powers so destructive that thwarts light itself. Using skills that resemble the dragon Labreska, who once ruled over the mountain of snow, she uses the sharp edge of Jördun to incapacitate her enemies, then fearlessly leaping up and slamming down on them.
The Guardian that chooses Succession takes up the Battleaxe and Shield once more to administer merciless judgment on her foes. Relinquishing absolute power for the role of executioner, the Guardian displays simple yet incredible feats of power. She crushes her foes with simple yet overwhelming displays of force, breaking through her enemies’ armor and enemy lines.

| Shortsword | Shuriken, Kunai | Sak Chakram | Shortsword, Shuriken/Kunai | Melee |
Kunoichi uses Shortsword as her main weapon and can choose between Kunai or Shuriken for sub-weapons. She is an assassin class that strikes fear into her enemies, although she is not one to lie in wait for a perfect one-shot kill. She’ll make full use of her Kunai to keep enemies at bay and block attacks, and can go into stealth to look for an opening. At the right moment she can close in and deal an immense amount of damage. It can be difficult finding the right time to go in with Kunoichi, but once she begins her assault she does not stop till her target drops.
Awakened Kunoichi wields the crescent moon shaped weapon, Sak Chakram. She can use it to slash, strike, and throw, among various other techniques, yet her self-buff effects may not last as long as other classes. While her Sak Chakram needs to be wielded with both hands, she can efficiently eviscerate her enemies regardless. With a wide range of abilities, anyone able to master how she closes in on the enemy can potentially deal more damage than any other class.
Succession Kunoichi wields the Shortsword, Shuriken, or Kunai once more to topple her foes. Having tamed her rage for the tragic fate of her family deep within her heart, the Kunoichi has removed all emotion from her blade. With even bolder movements and sneaking skills, the Kunoichi specializes in ambushing her opponents with critical strikes. If she can remain cool-headed in the chaotic battlefield, her nimble movements alone make her a huge threat to her foes.

| Crescent Pendulum | Noble Sword | Crimson Glaives | Crescent Pendulum/Noble Sword | Melee |
Lahn’s elegance makes it seem as if she is dancing as she twirls her Crescent Pendulum and Noble Sword. Her elaborate movements allow her to reach far away enemies in an instant or get out of harm’s way. She can also dash through the sky for a short amount of time. This ability is unique to Lahn; her capabilities seem truly boundless. She can switch between Crescent Pendulum to hit large areas and Noble Sword to weave through enemies and create openings to slice them, clearing large packs in mere moments.
Crimson Glaives are two swords connected with a chain. Lahn uses the glaives with her signature movements to bring utter destruction upon her foes. While the blades aren’t that long, she can throw one end and gain a bit of reach thanks to the chain. She is great for eliminating enemies within a large area. She is even more acrobatic than before and sports a grab with the longest range out of all the classes. This allows her to punish anyone that lets their guard down even for a moment and combo a single target into oblivion.
Succession Lahn picks up her Crescent Pendulum and Noble Sword once more to engage in a more elaborate yet still deadly dance. Focused on her waltzes to put her blood-riddled past behind, she now has succeeded in combining them into one movement.

Maehwa uses Blade and Horn Bow as her weapons. She is an agile swordswoman that is not afraid to get in close and disrupt her targets in an instant. Like Musa, she can use the skill Chase to take the initiative and use many different types of combos. After firing shots at enemies from range with her Horn Bow, she can get close and crush them with her elegant skills, like flower petals floating in the wind. She is especially effective against small groups or single targets.
Awakened Maehwa uses the most beautiful forms of martial arts with her Kerispear, a weapon wrapped in freezing flames. Her thrusting attacks are quick and cover a narrow area, but cause immense damage. Her combos are lightning fast and decimate her enemies. Though less effective against larger groups, her ability to quickly move in and out of fights makes her extremely difficult to deal with. She also boasts exceptional maneuverability, which all culminates into a character that can be difficult to control.
Upon Succession, Maehwa grabs her Blade and Horn Bow, heading into battle to throw the enemy into disarray. Only believing in herself and her blade alone, she utilizes her exceptional mobility to ambush her enemies from all directions. Her extravagant movements lack superfluity, as she easily takes down her foes with her Tiger Blade manifest, and her impressive command over stronger skills.

| Gauntlet | Vambrace | Cestus | Gauntlet/Vambrace | Melee |
Mystic is an agile martial artist who wears Gauntlets and a Vambrace to protect her arms. She prefers pummeling her enemies with a barrage of strikes as opposed to a single, powerful blow. She takes physical hand-to-hand combat to an extreme and destroys her foes with quick gap-closing movement, grabs, knock ups, and other skills that debuff or cripple enemies and gain the upper hand.
Awakened Mystic wears Cestus that, similar to the gauntlet, protects her fists, but also allows the use of even more powerful martial arts. Enveloped by the blue power of the Sea Dragon, she can quickly force her way in and out of any situation to disrupt her enemies. Using her large arsenal of debuffs, she can easily gain the advantage in any number of situations. She can also summon the Sea Dragon by consuming Martial Spirit Shards, obtained through combat.
Succession Mystic dons her Gauntlet and Vambrace once more to let out her Martial Spirit through her fists. Rather than relying on the Sea Dragon, the Mystic has honed herself in the way of the coldly calculated fist. Her rapid combos force her enemies to defend, denying any chance to counter as she deals a final blow. The best defense is a good offense, and the Mystic rains down fierce attacks upon her foes, inflicting much greater damage than she will receive.

Wielding a Morning Star and shield Quoratum, which contains powers of the distorted goddess, Nova can attack from mid-range to melee. She is the last remaining heir of Calpheon’s royal bloodline that was erased along with the rise of the republic. Her shield covers her body like an iron fortress, and she can flatten distant enemies with her Morning Star. Nova’s Quoratum is also possessed by the souls of the Thornwood Guard, who follow her every word. By commanding her spirit guards to attack while she remains fortified behind her giant shield, she can effortlessly combine offensive and defensive tactics to overwhelm her enemies.
Awakened Nova wields the Sting, also called Thorn of Quturan, containing the power of the Distorted Goddess. Nova can morph Sting into different forms of weapons most convenient for her to defeat her enemies. Depending on her choice of skills, Sting can switch between a sharp sword and formidable scythe. Sting in the sword form is a rapier-like weapon with quick piercing attacks, while her attacks in the scythe form are ring-shaped strikes making it difficult for enemies to predict her movement. The Awakened Nova also acquires a special resource called “Star’s Breath” when she successfully hits her enemies during combat. Once she has amassed the full extent of these resources, Nova’s skills are enhanced allowing her to unleash faster and more powerful forms of her strength.
Succession Nova brings her Morning Star and Quoratum once more to the battlefield accompanied by her Thornwood Guards with enhanced power. Nova has made pact with Axian, the King of the Dead, allowing her to summon this gigantic and ghastly undead creature of wings and horns by sacrificing her Thornwood Guards along with her own lifeforce.

Shais are a support class that has both combat and buff abilities. They have good basic evasion and are fast and nimble when evading and attacking their enemies. The main weapon of Shais is the giant boomerang, Florang, which is used for combat. A mystical sub-weapon, Vitclari, is used to heal and protect Shais and their allies. Probably anyone with a Shai will have the same thought. “I must protect her.”
In the past, Shai lost her memory to the dark illusion. She is forced to face it once more but succumbs to fear and falls into despair. However, after receiving the Melody of Light from Artina, Shai discovered her talent for playing music and uses it to overcome her fears and assists surrounding allies. She learns the true value of music from Artina – Heartfelt, Purity, Joy – and inherits “Sol”. “Sol” fuses with Vitclari to influence the surrounding area with mystical powers that changes depending on the songs played.

Sorceress is an elusive class that uses an Amulet and Talisman to wield dark magic. She deceives and confuses her enemies by closing the gap quickly to deal a powerful blow, then dodge just when the situation starts to look bad. This gives her great survivability while also constantly disrupting her enemies. She may be harder to play than the other classes, but can be much more apt in combat.
The awakened Sorceress takes up a massive two-handed scythe, but she doesn’t use it as a melee weapon. Rather, this only furthers the ways in which she deceives her enemies. She can fade in and out of the darkness to attack unsuspecting enemies, or teleport to create an opening. She performs great in small and large scale battles and can deal deadly blows when the opportunity arises. She is a force to be reckoned with.
Upon Succession, Sorceress returns with her Amulet and Talisman to smother her enemies in magic. She gives up the Scythe to refuse the fate that was decided and turns her focus to magic that she knows best.

Valkyrie wields the one-handed Longsword and Shield and excels at both offense and defense. She is less mobile than the other classes, but can deal an incredible burst of damage to anything that comes within her range. She is also great at healing or protecting her allies. Valkyrie is great in the frontlines, but her true strength really shines in the midst of allies. Her skills aid her allies in finishing enemies in a flash.
The awakened Valkyrie holds a shield and the sacred, enormous Lancia. Her seemingly inhuman defensive capabilities allow her to maintain a defensive stance in the toughest of situations. Additionally, her thrusting skills with her Lancia are so powerful they can pierce through every enemy in front of her, though this does make her less effective against groups that are more spread out. Valkyrie can also seemingly ascend to the heavens then crash down to deal damage, as if she truly is a knight of god.
Upon Succession, Valkyrie heads to the frontline with a Longsword and Shield. She is able to perform brilliant skills with her spiritual powers as she wields the Longsword instilled with Enslar’s resolve.

| Slayer | Shard | Slayer/Shard | Melee |
Drakania wields her Slayer, forged of slain Dragons’ desires, and her Shard, forged from the scales of their bodies, in her quest to restore the paradise of Dragons. Her Shard gathers ions from the air around her, which she then uses to dash around the battlefield, maintaining a mid-range advantage, or she redirects the energy to her Slayer, wielding them both in terrifying combination. Her resolve pumps red-hot through her second heart, her Dragon heart, enabling her to recover quickly from injury. That same resolve jettisons her across the battlefield like a raging storm. A swing of her Slayer brings utter destruction, while her Shard surreptitiously steals her opponents’ energy to use as her own. When she steps onto the battlefield, all will know the new era of Dragons is nigh.
Upon Succession, Drakania calls upon the her fallen kin and strengthens the Shard with their sorrow, grudge, tears, and blood and sets on a quest to restore the paradise of Dragons. As she grieves deeply with their broken souls, Drakania steals even more energy to store it in her shard, from which she can deal powerful damage in succession depending on the amount stored to punish her foes. Her second heart also grows stronger, granting her the ability to absorb the harmful effects of her foes as energy and send it back to damage them instantly. With no room to escape her wrath, the image of her draconic wings will be seared into the eyes of her enemies as they breathe their last.

| Swallowtail Fan | Soul Tome | Swallowtail Fan/Do Stave | Melee to Mid-range |
Using her fan and do stave as a main weapon which summons butterflies, Woosa hails from the Woodo School, those who temper their body and mind to wield the Do.
Woosa is a mid- to melee ranged class whose attacks can be split into melee attacks by delivering quick strikes with her folded fan, and area-of-effect attacks which is performed by mixing Do arts with her fan spread attack. Woosa’s Do arts utilize a butterfly motif, as she can summon a huge storm from the beating wings of a butterfly. She can also conjure rainclouds upon bright blue skies, draw up the power of the Sagoonja from within, among other Do arts. Like the gently fluttering wings of the butterfly, she graces around the battlefield, overwhelming her foes with combos as smooth as flowing water.
Awakening Woosa weaponizes charms bound into a tome and a calligraphy brush that writes the names of the deceased to harness the power of the Seocheon Flower Garden, a field blooming in the netherworld.
Woosa takes back the do arts that was passed down from her master Hwadam, which was stolen by her older twin sister’s do arts, and to continue her path to enlightenment upon selecting Succession.
