Every character in Elsword has their own unique features that sets them apart from other characters.
Authority
Authority is a system exclusive to Ain which allows him to switch between "Cycle Mode" and "Creation Mode". When in normal mode, attacking enemies will increase the green bar. After the green bar is maxed out, it will turn blue and you will shift into Creation Mode. During this time, you will be able to switch between Cycle
