1.What is the Way of the Sword?

When playing Dungeon, there will be an additional gauge the "Way of the Sword" gauge which will enable you to activate "Aura of Vitality", "Spirit of Destruction" for a period of time depending on energy obtained shown in the gauge.

2.How do I obtain Way of the Sword points?

Depending on the type of command skill (e.g. Z and X key moves), you will gain points of vitality or destruction. When a certain amount of points are obtained, Elsword will be able to activate the respective aura.

Note that when a skill has a Destructive Property, it saps up destructive energy and produces vitality energy. Conversely, when a skill has a Vitality Property, it saps up vitality and produces destructive energy.

3.What is the "Sword of Vitality"?

When an attack (with vitality-producing properties) is successful you will acquire vitality energy at the expense of the destruction energy. At the peak of vitality energy, the Sword of Vitality will be unleashed in the form of an azure aura.

This aura consumes the collected energy through z command attacks and vitality attribute actives. In addition to having an increased mp gain while attacking a monster with a z command, Sword of Vitality also increases attack speed, movement speed, reduces the MP consumption of actives by 30%, and increases mp gained when successfully connecting attacks from said vitality attribute active.

You will stay in this state until the Vitality energy runs out.

• Destructive attribute skills add to the vitality energy bar when you are still in the process of filling the bar, whereas vitality attribute skills do not add to the vitality bar (they actually decrease vitality energy by a little bit - thereby adding to destructive energy.)
• Destructive attribute skills do not consume vitality energy when Sword of Vitality is active.
• X attacks do not decrease Vitality Energy when Sword of Vitality is active.
• Z attacks consume Vitality Energy when Sword of Vitality is active for +15 mp per hit.

4.What is the "Sword of Destruction"?

When you apply a successful command or skill (with destructive energy-producing properties), you will acquire an aura of destruction. At the peak of destruction energy collected, you will unleash this crimson aura.

This aura which slowly consumes the energy will increase damage of skills and when hits are applied to enemy, you will also be able to neutralize enemy attacks with super armor for a period of time.

Normal Damage(melee) is doubled, skill damage is 1.5x.

You will stay in this state until the Destruction energy runs out and the effect wears off.
