Translation From the Game Pokers Interview: Original Link

Elsword’s Kwon Oh Dang director promised his users a new type of experience after showcasing the concept of the new ‘Duo Character’. Duo character is a character that’s played by exchanging between two characters of completely different play styles.

Kwon director showcased the new character ‘Lu,Ciel’  during the ‘Elsword: Hero’s Tournament Season 3’ which was held in the Nexon Arena on 12/06.  Elsword is a popular MORPG  developed by KOG and published by Nexon. Director Kwon is KOG’s head of development for Elsword.

This new character is Elsword’s first duo character and is divided into Lu and Ciel. Players can exchange freely between Lu the female character, and Ciel the male character during gameplay.

Kwon Oh Dang director explained the reasoning behind making a duo character instead of making two separate characters as follows: “We always made each character with different battle styles. We had lots of trouble thinking up a new character because if we tried to give the character one advantage, it always ended up having some kind of disadvantage”

“Thus we thought, what if we tie in two characters with different advantages into one character so they can cover each other’s disadvantages? This was the thought that got us started on Lu,Ciel.”

Users can play as either Lu or Ciel in both towns and dungeons, and change between them whenever they want. Depending on the user’s preference, it is even possible to play only as Lu or Ciel all the way until the end,  but it will be more fun and effective to change between characters depending on the situation. Kwon Oh Dang director said “We didn’t put a cooldown into the exchange mechanism. You battle as whoever you want at any time. And its designed so it’s possible to get both characters to fight together if you gather enough resources,

Lu and Ciel shares equipment but have different avatars. Kwon director said “continuing from the Pair character Elesis, we showcased a Duo character Lu,Ciel” and “We just thought duo character would be the most fitting release for this winter and there are no further plans for any more duo characters.”

He also said “We need to find something new to update after this” and emphasized again that “If users want to see more duo characters, we will comply but currently we don’t have plans for more.”

Elsword Winter updates starts in upcoming 11th of December and the new character Lu,Ciel will be updated on the 18th. Today’s event only showcased Ciel’s appearance but Lu’s appearance will be revealed on the 11th when the winter update starts.
