Heroes of Elios,

It is once again time: we will be taking down the servers tomorrow for a maintenance, starting at 9 AM and hopefully then ending at 3 PM. The new update once again has a lot of new content for you!

Game content:

• Special system for Rena
• Special system for Eve
• Special system for Aisha
• Boss raid system has been reactivated

Events:

• Special system event
• Boss raid event, more information available in the news dated 12.08.2014

Item shop:

• Hairstyles and weapons for the Master of the Moon avatar sets now available in the ice sculptures
• Pongo Scorpion Type E returns to the shop
• Resting Cat's Whiskers and Hunting Cat's Whiskers

• Star Academy Summer Uniform for Ara, Elesis and Add

Being removed: Ice Sculpture Heaters (Add, Archangel)

Special System, Rena: Nature Force

• A new bar beneath the MP display shows Rena's gathered Nature Force (NF).
• A total of 5 NF fields can be charged: 1. By attacking with combos - 1 field for each 6 hits and 2. By attacking with skills, according to the amount of consumed MP.
• Charged NF fields are consumed automatically to inflict additional damage. During the final strike of a combo, one field will be used; with certain skills 1 or 2 fields will be consumed (see the skill descriptions). Enemies receiving a direct hit suffer the complete damage, enemies in the vicinity suffer 370%.
• If 3 or more NF fields are filled then Rena will be given the 'Nature Force!' buff:
• Movement speed +10%, MP regeneration/sec. +1, damage resistance +10%. The buff disappears as soon as the NF reduces to below 3 fields.
• NF will be reset when entering and leaving a PvP fight.

Special System, Eve: Nasod Core

With an activated Power Boost a Nasod Core will float behind Eve, supporting and protecting her in attack and defence.

Nasod Core Operation Points (NCOP)

• NCOP are not visible (value cannot be seen).
• NCOP increase if Eve attacks using combos and active skills in Power Boost mode and when she is hit.
• NCOP are consumed when the Nasod Core is active.
• If the Power Boost finishes and there is NCOP left over, they will be converted into HP and MP.

Nasod Core

• The Nasod Core (level 1) appears when you activate the Power Boost.
• It floats behind Eve and fires a laser beam at the closest enemy as soon as Eve hits an enemy with an active or special active skill. The laser ignores enemy defence and dodge attributes (does not apply in PvP).
• Once enough NCOP has been gathered, the level of the Nasod Core and, thereby, its attack values, increase: 330% for level 1, 660% for level 2 and 990% for level 3.
• Power Boost level 3 activates additional area damage (360%). Example: Core level 3, at Power Boost level 3 will cause 990% + 360% damage.
• When Eve is attacked whilst standing (not during a jump), the Nasod Core will create an energy shield which absorbs 75% of the damage. The shield remains for 1 second. By pressing the X key during this time, Eve can teleport backwards.

Special System, Aisha: Skill Memorisation

• Aisha can memorise up to 3 skills from her skill bar which are then ready for immediate use.
• They will be saved into the same (additional) skill slot (the learning slot) and will then be carried out using the hotkey (default: V), one after the other.
• To activate the learning position, Aisha needs to stay still for 2 seconds. An icon will reveal that you are in the learning position. When you then press the corresponding skill key, the skill will be saved in the learning slot. The learning position will not activate if all three places in the learning slot are already full.
• Memorisation is not possible in the towns and will be reset when you enter a new map.
• You can only learn each skill in the skill bar once.
• Not every skill is suited to memorisation. A symbol on the skill icon indicates which skills are available for you to use.
• If a skill is removed from the skill bar, it will also be removed from the learning slot.

Skills that are activated from the learning slot

• do not consume MP. There are MP costs however when the skill key is held down, in order to inflict additional damage.
• only inflict 70% of the original damage.
• effect no cooldown on the affected skills. In this manner, the same skill can be carried out twice, one after the other: once from the learning slot and then once from the skill slot.
