Grand Master Creation Story

<Knights captain fighting for her country in the front lines, Grand Master>

Tell us about Grand Master’s concept

S: I worked on her using the ‘Female Knight with a frail body fighting in the front lines for her country’ as a key word.

 Technically, it was the other job’s point to show the Elesis’s boyish side so this job focused on the girlish charm of the ‘Lady Knight Elesis’.

The graceful image that the 1st job had with dress-like armor and neat hairstyle was enhanced even more, while Elesis’s boyish side was attempted to be shown in a roundabout way by giving her a huge sword that even a heavily built man would have trouble carrying, and having her fight in the front lines with that sword.

<Different views of Grand Master>

What was the most difficult part of creating Grand Master?

S: There were a lot of difficulty in designing Saber Knight to be fancy, so even when put together with other 2nd jobs she wouldn’t stand out. Also drawing the illustration. There are lots to improve on but I’m glad a lot of the adventurers like it. T_T

<Looking more like Grand Master right?>

What’s the main charm of the Grand Master?

S: Girlish! Giant Sword! and lastly, and of course wouldn’t it obviously be her backside?!

Grand Master was worked on strictly in the concept of enhancing the charm of Saber Knight. There was some time gap between the 1st job and the 2nd job so I hoped people would not regret choosing Saber Knight when seeing Grand Master.

….In truth, I was lured in by Saber Knight’s backside and ended up working on Grand Master.

<You can see her attractiveness in this skill cut-in>

You can say another charming point of Grand Master’s is her Giant Sword. Tell us about the sword.

S: Grand Master’s promotion sword design was designed with ‘What shape would it take if Grand Master’s personality was reflected in her Sword of Victory?’. After much pondering, I concluded for myself that ‘even if they are  same skills, Saber Knight would wield a pure blade bounce houses, while Grand Master would wield giant shield like sword!’. If it was another Elesis and not a Grand Master, she’d probably have different looking sword. :->

<Her Giant Sword>

And some last words for all the adventurers-

S: Because Grand Master’s promotion illustration emphasizes her formal position as the Knight leader, there were some of you who were worried about how Elesis’s jolly personality might have disappeared. Grand Master also has the jolly personality of the original Elesis. Except now she’s aware that her actions or appearance stands for image of the Knights as a whole so she controls herself in formal situations! So you don’t need to worry ^_^

Adventurers that loves Elsword~!

I’ll do my best so you can always have fun time. ‘-‘)7
