  ELSWORD HEATS UP WITH RAVEN'S NEW CLASS "WEAPON TAKER"

[This unedited press release is made available courtesy of Gamasutra and its partnership with notable game PR-related resource GamesPress.]

Irvine , Calif. , March 13, 2013--Today Kill3rCombo, publisher of the hit free-to-play action MMORPG Elsword, unleashes its latest class for the dark and deadly character Raven.  With intense firepower and a brand-new “overheat” mode, the Weapon Taker class turns Raven into a force to be reckoned with.  This new class is part of the on-going Elsword Transformation series; a multi-month campaign delivering a new class for each of the six unique Elsword characters. 

Elsword’s mercenary character Raven becomes even more menacing with Weapon Taker’s new abilities.  His giant metal claw turns into a virtual weapon of mass destruction with aggressive high-caliber attacks.  Weapon Taker’s standout feature is a new “overheat” mode which deals extra incendiary damage to enemies, while injuring Raven himself.  ”Overheat” mode poses a particularly tricky strategic question for the game’s deep PvP mode, will players choose to do extra damage but leave themselves vulnerable as a result?  

Grafted on him against his will, Raven’s claw is central to his fighting style and his mercurial personality. While it gives him great power, Raven’s claw forever tempts him to unleash his rage in a carnival of wanton destruction. The result is a constant struggle to maintain sanity. As a Weapon Taker, Raven uses his mechanical prowess to modify his claw, giving it additional firepower and giving him another chance at control.  

In Elsword, gamers can choose from six specialized and customizable characters as they explore an immersive world and battle rivals to complete dynamic quests. As players progress through the game, they can evolve their fighting styles by upgrading to new job classes, learn deadly new abilities and master combo attacks. With intuitive and straightforward controls, Elsword offers players of all skill levels the chance to experience the thrill of victory in combat either on solo missions or cooperatively in a party of up to four players. For those who welcome a challenge, Elsword also delivers action-packedPvP combat.  P

layers should be on the lookout for upcoming news and updates as the exciting "Elsword Transformation" continues in the coming months.  To play Elsword for free please visit ElswordOnline.com and keep watching the official Facebook page here.  For Elsword information and assets please visit our press kit here
