Core Release
Every character in Elsword has their own unique features that set 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 Awakening Mode, 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.
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 shield that absorbs 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 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, such as Illusion Stinger, Sonic Wave, Heaven's Fist - Sweeper, and Surface Cutting, where the laser will be shot at the end of the skill. Some skills will also not trigger Queen's Laser, such as Heaven's Fist - Pressure.
At level 3 Awakening, a Powerful Queen's Core is created. Unlike the normal Queen's Core, the Queen's Laser fired by this core will be colored red and can deal splash damage to groups of enemies. In addition, if the target is moved while they are being hit by the laser, the Powerful Queen's Core will adjust its trajectory to lock onto the target.

Tips and Details
- Queen's Laser ignores defense and guard in PvE and ignores guard in PvP.
- 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 to the core.
- It takes approximately 7 command 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 command hit contributes to approximately 0.22% HP and 4.35 MP returned when the core expires.
- Core regeneration is capped at level 3 core plus two hits resulting in 5% HP and 100 MP returned. This is a total of 23 command hits.
- For Powerful Queen's Core (level 3 awakening), the Laser and Powerful hits are done simultaneously for a total of 12 hits on a single target.
- Powerful Queen's Core does splash damage. As a result, for each additional target that are at close range, they will receive six additional Powerful Laser hits.
- 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.
