Core Release
Every character in Elsword has their own unique features that sets them apart from other characters.
Core Release System
On 01/28/2014 in the Korean server, Eve received a new system, the Core Release system. Core Release is a system exclusive to Eve.
Queen's Core
When Eve enters any level of awakening, Eve goes into Core Release mode and materializes the Queen's Core. The Queen's Core will follow Eve and react to help Eve by changing during offensive and defensive situations.
Attacks and Defense
In Queen's Core mode, every few hits Eve does or Special Active used will level up the core. A core level up is indicated when the core lights up for 1 second. The higher the level of the core, the more damage will be dealt and number of times it is able to defend increases.
Queen's Shield
When Eve is attacked from the front on the ground while in Core Release mode, the Queen's Core will switch to defense mode and cover Eve in a damage reducing shield by absorbing a portion of the damage. While the core covers Eve in the Shield, pressing 
will allow Eve to phase back from the target in the same manner as Photon Flash. The core loses a level after defending. However, if you are continuously attacked, the core will only lose its level once the defending sequences stop.
Queen's Laser
When Eve uses an active or special active and hits a target, the Queen's Core switches to offense mode and fires a blue or red laser at a target. The laser does multiple hits and will not knock down. The laser will lock on to the nearest target and track that target until all hits are dealt. The damage of the laser done depends on the core's level. Lasers will be shot when a skill lands a hit and the target does not die on that hit. There are exceptions of some skills including: Illusion Stinger, Sonic Wave, Heaven's Fist - Sweeper, Surface Cutting, where the laser will be shot at the end of the skill. Heaven's Fist - Pressure doesn't trigger Queen's Laser.
Powerful Queen's Core
At 3rd bead awakening, a Powerful Queen's Core is created. When Eve uses an active or special active and it hits, the Queen's Core will fire a red laser which has higher damage output and does splash damage.

Tips and Details
- Extra hits between each core level will contribute to an increase to HP and MP recovery values on top of each core level's value.
- Recovery from the core is linear and dependent on the number of hits contributed into the core.
- It takes approximately 7 basic Z or X hits to reach the next core level.
- The core gained upon awakening is level 1 and already has 2 hits contributing towards the next core level. This means that 5 hits will be enough to raise the core to level 2.
- Every basic Z or X hit contributes to approximately 0.22% HP and 4.35 MP returned when the core expires.
- Damage does not include the awakening attack bonus and is based on (physical attack + magic attack)/2.
- For Powerful Queen's Core, (level 3 awakening), the Laser and Powerful hits are done simultaneously for a total of ten hits on a single target.
- Powerful Queen's Core does splash damage. E.g., if two targets are close enough, each target will be hit 15 times (5 from Laser, 10 from Powerful). If there are three targets each will be hit 20 times.
- Queen's Core gains 1-3 levels when Special Actives are used. Using a Tenacity skill gains one core level, using a Strength skill gains two core levels, and using a Bravery skill gains three core levels.
- If Queen's Core expires while in the middle of its own attack animation, it will refund HP and MP normally.
- Although the core will track the enemies, it is still possible for the enemies to be pushed out of range.
Trivia
- Eve's Core Release System's concept is very similar to Raven's Anger of Raven feature, but with a few very important differences.
