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 bar below the mana gauge called Way of the Sword. This bar has 10 segments that, by default, contain 5 red Destruction slots and 5 blue Vitality slots, and depending on your actions, the bar will lean towards one color or 'aura' (from right to left for Destruction, from left to right for Vitality), replacing the other aura's slots. As long as an aura has at least one slot in the bar filled, you will receive special benefits depending on which aura you currently have active. The "Aura of Destruction" is selected by default, and you can switch between it and the "Aura of Vitality" by using the V key.
Depending on the type of skill you use, the bar will fill towards the right with blue Vitality slots or towards the left with red Destruction slots:
- Flexibility/Tenacity skill: 1 slot
- Strength skill: 2 slots
- Bravery skill: 3 slots
Note that skills fill the slots contrary to their mode: vitality-based skills fill the bars with destruction slots; destruction-based skills fill the bar with vitality slots.
If the bar is filled completely by either aura's slots, the aura for the other mode will deactivate and you will enter a neutral stance with no benefits when it is toggled on, until at least 1 slot is re-gained for that mode. As such, the bar acts as a balancing mechanic so over-using one mode's skills can prevent that mode's aura from being active.
Aura of Vitality
When Aura of Vitality is toggled on, you will be surrounded by a blue aura. While in this mode you will receive the following benefits:
- Increased attack, movement, and jump speed.
- Vitality-based skills cost 30% less mana (10% in PvP).
- Hits from vitality-based commands and skills will have mana regeneration per hit increased to 200% (120% in PvP).
Aura of Destruction
When Aura of Destruction is toggled on, you will be surrounded by 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 commands will do 100% more damage. (This stacks with any other damage modifiers)

---|---|---|
Destruction and Vitality gain amount +x% (Except when either Destruction and Vitality is activated) (Max: 40%) | Destruction and Vitality consume amount -x% (Max: 50%) |
Tips and Details
- 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.
- 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.
- Vitality's MP gain increase is very potent, allowing you to throw out many costly skills with little issues. Keeping at least 1 bar of Vitality left at all times to be able to gain the effect for your commands is exceptionally helpful.
Trivia
- 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.
