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

The newly added Dual Blade character in Nexon America’s MapleStory offers new skills for players to learn and acquire, making gameplay exciting and new. Hidden somewhere deep in Kerning Square, Dual Blades meet at the Secret Garden and pledge their loyalty to Lady Syl, who seeks revenge for her father’s untimely death.

Along with being armed with a blade in each hand, Dual Blade characters are outfitted with a whole range of skills, becoming more and more dangerous with each job advancement. As beginners, players will be able to master skills like Three Snails and Agile Body, which allow them ranged attacks and quicker movement.

Through specialization, players will be able to acquire numerous higher level attack skills such as Final Cut, Mirror Image, Sudden Raid, Flying Assaulter and Chains of hell. Each of these skills, along with many others, allows Dual Blades to inflict progressively more elaborate attacks to multiple enemies at a certain range.

In addition to attack skills, Dual Blades increase their defense skills as they advance. The skill, Disorder, causes aggressive enemies to stop attacking. Dark Sight allows players to hide in the shadows, but can’t attack unsuspecting enemies until they acquire Advanced Dark Sight.

To create your own Dual Blade character and acquire these skills and more, visit: http://maplestory.nexon.net. Join other fans at www.facebook.com/maplestory.
