Every character in Elsword has their own unique features that set them apart from other characters.
Basic Information
When playing Elsword, there will be an additional gauge below the mana gauge. This Way of the Sword gauge will enable you to activate "Aura of Vitality" or "Aura of Destruction" for a period of time.
Depending on the type of combo attack (e.g. Z and X key moves) or skill you use, the gauge will lean towards vitality or destruction. While in either "Aura of Vitality" or "Aura of Destruction", you will receive special benefits.
Note that the system they use is not what it may appear to be at first; vitality-based attacks take away vitality from the gauge, leaning the gauge towards destruction; destruction-based attacks take away destruction from the gauge, leaning the gauge towards vitality; this is why only attacks that use the gauge area affected in the respective aura.
Aura of Vitality
When the gauge is completely blue (by using destruction-type moves), the "Aura of Vitality" will be unleashed in the form of an azure aura.
While in this form you will receive the following benefits:
- Increased attack, movement, and jump speed.
- Vitality-based skills cost 30% less mana for both mana usage and usage requirements.
- Hits from vitality-based attacks and skills will have mana regeneration per hit increased to 200% (150% in PvP).
Aura of Destruction
When the gauge is completely red (by using vitality-type moves), the "Aura of Destruction" will be unleashed in the form of a crimson aura.
While in this form, you will receive the following benefits:
- Destruction-based actives and skills will do 50% more damage.
- Destruction-based combos will do 100% more damage. (This stacks with any other damage modifiers)

Tips and Details
- NA: When the gauge is empty (display neither red nor blue), the amount of Vitality/Destruction charged will be tripled.
- KR: Due to an aura no longer consuming its own gauge, Destruction-based skills benefit from the 50% damage bonus in their entirety, as long as the bar has at least 1 Destruction slot left after casting the skill.
- KR: Commands do not affect the bar's slots in any way. As long as 1 slot of the respective aura is left, they will benefit from the aura they align to.
Trivia
- While in the "Aura of Vitality" mode, Knight Emperor can easily use several Strength and Bravery skills in a single combo due to his passive "Vitality".
- In the same fashion, the Concentrated Mana passive guild skill and the Magic Necklace accessory make it even easier for Elsword to use skills more often during Vitality state.
- The sword icons that appear on the right side of the gauge are Lord Knight's and Rune Slayer's swords for "Aura of Destruction" and "Aura of Vitality", respectively.
