=== Specialty ===
Elsword is a master swordsman who excels at close range combat. He's quick on his feet and can hack and slash with the best of them. Not only can he dish it out, but he can take a lot of punishment as well. His only real weakness is magic, but in his mind, there's nothing a sharp piece of steel can't beat.

:''Main Article: [[Ruben Forest/Elsword|Ruben Forest (Elsword)]]''<br>
Elsword is an ambitious but hot-headed young swordsman trained by his sister Elesis, the leader of the Red Mercenary Knights. Elesis left her little brother to lead a mission, never to return. Elsword now searches the land for two things: El, the precious gems that power his kingdom, and his missing sister.
{{Background
<br>
|NA=
<br>
Elsword is the younger brother of [[Elesis]], the First Captain of Red Knights of Velder.
 
Elsword trained hard from a young age to be strong like his sister, learning his sword techniques from a knight of Velder.
 
He began his adventure when he received a mission to restore the El as a member of the El Search Party.
|KR=
열혈남아 스타일로, 때로는 단순 무식해 보일 정도로 어떤 일에든 열정적이다.<br>
거대한 양손검을 한손과 양손으로 자유롭게 사용하며 검술에 있어서는 타의 추종을 불허하며 벨더 왕실 출신의 스승에게 훈련받아 체계적이고 균형 잡힌 전투 기술을 가지고 있다.
 
자존심이 강하여 지고는 못 사는 성격이다.<br>
엘소드의 누나 엘리시스는 벨더 왕국 “붉은 기사단”의 초대 단장이었는데,<br>
엘소드는 어린 시절부터 누나를 동경해왔고 누나처럼 강해지기 위해 열심히 수련하였다.<br>
지금은 각 대륙에 흩어져있는 <엘>을 모아 복원시키는 <엘 수색대>의 일원이 되어<br>
각지의 엘을 찾기 위한 모험을 준비한다.
|KRT=
He's a hot-blooded boy, and he's passionate about anything he does, to the point that he sometimes seems simply ignorant.
 
He is to freely use a huge two-handed sword with either one hand or two hands, and is unmatched in swordsmanship. He has been trained by a teacher from the Velder royal family and has systematic and balanced combat skills.
 
He has a strong self-esteem and cannot afford to lose.


== First Class Advancement ==
Elsword's older sister, [[Elesis]], was the first leader of the Velder Kingdom "Red Knights".
[[Elsword]] is required to be Lv.15 to begin his first class advancement.


=== Knight ===
Elsword has admired his older sister since his childhood and trained hard to become as strong as his older sister.
#Kill 15 '''Bomber Mongs''' in [[2-4]] on any difficulty.
#Kill 14 '''Jango''' & '''Kid Phoru''' in [[2-4]] on hard or higher.
#Talk to the Accessory Shop Owner in [[Elder]], [[NPCs#Elder|Luichel]]
#Complete [[2-4]] on '''Very Hard'''  within 15 minutes.


After completing the Knight quest chain, Elsword can decide between advancing as a [[Sword Knight]], [[Magic Knight]], or [[Sheath Knight]].
He is now a member of the <El Search Party> that gathers and restores <El> scattered on each continent.

== Trivia ==
*'''Elsword''''s job path in Lore/Story would be the [[Knight Emperor]] path.
*'''Elsword''''s official theme song is ''[[El's Word]]''.
*'''Elsword''''s older sister is [[Elesis]]. Due to this, the two cannot be married to each other.
*'''Elsword''' has the unparalleled unique ability to resonate with the El, so much so that [[Solace]] labels '''Elsword''' as the "Guardian of El".
**This ability was first seen in '''Elsword''''s tutorial, where he used the El's power to ward off [[Berthe]] before [[Aisha]] intervened.
**Due to his unique resonance with the El, '''Elsword''' actually has an almost instinctive desire to restore the El, even if he doesn't realize it.
**The forced use of this ability is the basis for the [[Genesis]] path, which explores how excessive use of it could affect '''Elsword''', as opposed to the [[Knight Emperor]] path who displays the ability naturally.
*'''Elsword''' is the youngest person to have ever been officially admitted into the actual El Search Party program from [[Ruben]].
*While '''Elsword''' has an affinity for the fire element just like his sister [[Elesis]], he's initially unaware of this ability and never consciously uses it outside of the [[Rune Master]] path, where he accidentally released some of it and then had [[Aisha]] teach him how to control it.
**In the past, it was [[Echo (NPC)|Echo]] who performed a ritual on Elsword that allowed the [[Magic Knight]] to use fire magic.
**While skills like [[Flame Geyser]], [[Mortal Blow]] and [[Grand Cross]], from base and the [[Knight Emperor]] path may look like fire magic at first glance, their descriptions all specifically refer to just slamming the ground hard enough for rocks and flames to shoot out. While this may be aided by his affinity towards the element, he does not control it.
*'''Elsword''''s backstory is similar in concept to [http://grandchase.wikia.com/wiki/Elesis Elesis Sieghart], a character in a separate MMO created by KoG called [http://grandchase.wikia.com/wiki/Grand_Chase Grand Chase].
**In the beta, '''Elsword''' was voiced by the same voice actor of Lass in Grand Chase.
*'''Elsword''''s Promotional Sword will change form while in Awakening Mode, a trait which is only shared by the other original characters, [[Aisha]] and [[Rena]].
*'''Elsword''' wrote the [[Skill Notes|Skill Note]] "Stronger the better!" for Pyro Knight's [[Burst Wave]] skill.
**'''Elsword''' was also influential in the making of the skill note [[Dynamo Configuration - Dissolver|Particle Converter]].
*In very early versions of the game, [[Elsword]] actually had unique skill cut-ins for specific skills, such as a unique cut-in for [[Flame Geyser]] and [[Unlimited Blade]].
*'''Elsword''''s canon birthday is the same as the release date for [[Elsword (game)|Elsword]] in Korea. He also shares his birthday with [[Aisha]].
*In the side story [[Story/Side Story/Elsword's Story 1|Resolution 3]], it is revealed that '''Elsword''''s father's name is [[Elkashu]].

**Elsword's sister was originally named Elsa before the release of Elesis.
*'''Elsword''': ''Was that supposed to stop me? I'm just gonna keep getting stronger!''
*Although Elsword does have magic power in his body (this explains his ability to use skills like [[Flame Geyser]] and [[Triple Geyser]]), he doesn't always rely on it.
**A reason why he does not use it often until becoming a [[Magic Knight]] or [[Sheath Knight]], is that he couldn't control it without the help of a ritual or magical artifact.

Trivia

  • Elsword's job path in Lore/Story would be the Knight Emperor path.
  • Elsword's official theme song is El's Word.
  • Elsword's older sister is Elesis. Due to this, the two cannot be married to each other.
  • Elsword has the unparalleled unique ability to resonate with the El, so much so that Solace labels Elsword as the "Guardian of El".
    • This ability was first seen in Elsword's tutorial, where he used the El's power to ward off Berthe before Aisha intervened.
    • Due to his unique resonance with the El, Elsword actually has an almost instinctive desire to restore the El, even if he doesn't realize it.
    • The forced use of this ability is the basis for the Genesis path, which explores how excessive use of it could affect Elsword, as opposed to the Knight Emperor path who displays the ability naturally.
  • Elsword is the youngest person to have ever been officially admitted into the actual El Search Party program from Ruben.
  • While Elsword has an affinity for the fire element just like his sister Elesis, he's initially unaware of this ability and never consciously uses it outside of the Rune Master path, where he accidentally released some of it and then had Aisha teach him how to control it.
    • In the past, it was Echo who performed a ritual on Elsword that allowed the Magic Knight to use fire magic.
    • While skills like Flame Geyser, Mortal Blow and Grand Cross, from base and the Knight Emperor path may look like fire magic at first glance, their descriptions all specifically refer to just slamming the ground hard enough for rocks and flames to shoot out. While this may be aided by his affinity towards the element, he does not control it.
  • Elsword's backstory is similar in concept to Elesis Sieghart, a character in a separate MMO created by KoG called Grand Chase.
    • In the beta, Elsword was voiced by the same voice actor of Lass in Grand Chase.
  • Elsword's Promotional Sword will change form while in Awakening Mode, a trait which is only shared by the other original characters, Aisha and Rena.
  • Elsword wrote the Skill Note "Stronger the better!" for Pyro Knight's Burst Wave skill.
  • In very early versions of the game, Elsword actually had unique skill cut-ins for specific skills, such as a unique cut-in for Flame Geyser and Unlimited Blade.
  • Elsword's canon birthday is the same as the release date for Elsword in Korea. He also shares his birthday with Aisha.
  • In the side story Resolution 3, it is revealed that Elsword's father's name is Elkashu.


Generic Clear Lines

  • Elsword: Gotta hustle and get the power of El back!
  • Elsword: Gotta keep going and do Sis proud. Bring it on, bad guys!
  • Elsword: Was that supposed to stop me? I'm just gonna keep getting stronger!
