Characters

In the game characters can fall into one of two categories: basic characters and recruited characters (NPCs). Basic characters are made when initially starting out whereas recruited characters are obtained throughout gameplay and added to the player’s family with the completion of quests and specific events, learning and developing individual characters can improve their fighting prowess as well as offering the choice to equip them with a number of different costumes accessories and armours.

Players are able to choose from five different classes with their basic character:

Wizard - Using psychokinetic powers and black magic when it comes to magic battles no one stands stronger than the Wizard.

Musketeer - Attacking from long range the Musketeer is able to critically damage and kill their opponents with a wide arsenal of guns at their disposal which can be maximised with various stances.

Scout - All-round support with the ability to heal trap and provide tools the Scout offers up tactics and useful items at the expense of being unable to take part in battle.

Fighter - The most proficient and well-balanced combatant the Fighter possesses a well-rounded defence attack and speed making them ideal in battle with a variety of weapons at hand.

Elemental list - Using the power of lightning ice and Fire Magic they are both powerful and destructive spell wielding combatants.

Multi Character Control System

This unique feature of the game gives players the chance to control three characters at once simultaneously; as well as this team combinations can be created by combining two of the characters, which creates a pioneer effect that enhances the team’s abilities. Different combinations of characters when teamed together can create different kinds of buffs, for example one of the earliest team buffs is the Three Year War which increases both attack, defence and speed.

Factions and Squads

Players can create squads to go hunting and on raids together with other players, taking advantage of each basic characters class features, making a much more proficient team. Larger groups can be made by forming Factions (which can be made up of up to 100 players) allowing for faction battles colony wars and colony occupation.

PVP Features

There are a variety of PVP options available in Granado Espada, from the classic dual system where players can fight against one another’s teams to an arena style battle and small-scale PVP matches over a number of different maps. PVP raiding is also available in a free for all PvP zone where you are hostile to anyone that is not part of your own squad; survive, kill the boss, loot the rewards.

One of the more unique PVP systems is the Baron mode which turns players into attackable NPC like mobs if they have previously attacked another player without consent parenthesis (PKing). NPCs will ignore these players who are now seen as being Barons and they risk losing items and XP if they are caught or killed by other players.

Pet Companions

Any explorer worth their salt will always have a pet companion at their side, useful for providing assistance in battle they have a variety of abilities as determined by their type, but these pets require on-going care and must be fed. Pets can be earned through quests or bought from the player’s store.

Crafting a System

An in-depth and well thought out crafting system enables players to create all types of items, weapons, armour and equipment using earned materials and discovered recipes making players fully self-sufficient.
