Skill Tree arrives!


Well, some of you will say "But the skill tree is out long ago!". Well, I didn't get the timing when Elesis' skill tree got released, so I didn't feel like posting Lire's as well. But since Elesis, Lire and Arme are the beginner characters in Grand Chase, I just threw them up in one single post, describing a bit about the skill tree system itself.

So, okay, skill tree is out. What now? Basically the skill tree changes the way of fighting for each char, as well as updating the specials and, of course, the defensive skills. So, we basically got some skills who change the attack style, some new special attacks each char can learn, and defensive skills who activate automatically. Oh, and, of course, there are cash skills. You need to obtain a skill key for unlocking a bunch of new skills to skill.

For Elesis, she has a nice new combo which makes her actually even effective in pvp as in pve. No more "Lol-I-run-so-fast" tactic, jumping around like some cowboy on crack and hitting each and every second the attack button to always dash attack in all directions, including "Mega Slash". In fact, she has a new dash attack, and/or new combos while doing it, as well as she gets a whole new normal attack combo, includes critical attacks.  As for her new specials, her Mega Slash, Sonic Wave and Air Splatter(?) get updated, such as doing more tactical combo moves and doing more damage. I haven't been able, or let's say, I didn't want to "cash" skill keys, so I didn't try those skills, but, from what I've seen, they are stronger. And to round it all up, she gets a "Spam-me-x3" attack which allows her to swing her sword around without taking any break, just like a 5 year old boy who doesn't get his candy. Important: Every defensive skill counts for ALL  jobs. She can now spam this behaviour as Spearman (Try to imagine that.), Sword Master (You better don't imagine that) and Savior. And, she gains a new "Berserk" skill, making her invulnerable for a few seconds, as well as she can slash firebolts and arrows now.

Lire. Wow. She spams even more than before and gains a few melee abilities. As for her arrows, she gains an extra critical arrow when dashing during combo. And she can air dash now. And she can melee combo out of her arrow shooting. AND she gets a "Hunting Stance" allowing her to sharp-shoot from a locked position, doing BAM damage. As for her specials, I just say, two-timed Big Shot, a Sniper Shot AND a "OMFGWTFBBQ" AoE 3rd skill. Dude. I would say she's too good, but the other chars will get trees as well, so it's fine. Every room is melee anyway. Oh, and guess what her defensive skills are. She can destroy enemies' arrows by shooting them (I know *sigh*). Not to forget her 3 buffs she gets. She can either buff her running speed, buff her Mana Recovery or buff her attack speed. Greet the spam!

Well, Arme finally got playable to me. Lol. Her "Haha-Circle" is changeable to some staff-swirling combo with some magical woosh ending. Crit hit and such get buffed to a woosh and wham magical attack as well. And she can have some doll who's protecting her, haven't tried it out yet. But the true update lies in Armes specials. Holy. In fact, really "Holy" because she get's some nice Holy "insert spell name here" spells. Her "Stone Curse" is buffed like hell and does curse damage WHILE being stoned. Pretty much a one-hit (Yes, I know, 1st skill). She can also have somewhat of a Trap skill instead. White magic goes for shield buff OR Enemy attack or defense decrease. 2nd black is somewhat of a Dragon Knight's "Spell the Rune", only moving towards the enemy. White is an ice trap, exploding after some time doing unknown damage because it hasn't hit yet. 3rd black meanwhile goes for somewhat of a meteor strike, exactly like Lire's "Meteor Strike" skill, just for Arme. Keep Meteor. And for white, either a "Cure" buff or a some holy skill which name I forgot, but it owns. Geez, as if all the specials weren't enough, she gets awesome passive skills. A further dash, an up-and-down dash, a direction-change dash AND she gets a mana buff when hit by arrows. Congratulations.

Meh, when some new skill trees are getting released I'll inform you, but I think (or hope) Jin's 2nd, Grappler, will be next.
