Every character in Elsword has their own unique features that sets them apart from other characters.
Basic Information
Power System is a system exclusive to Ain which allows him to switch between "Cycle Magic" and "Creation Magic". When in default state, attacking enemies will increase the green bar. After the green bar is maxed out, it will turn blue and you will shift into Creation Mode. During this time, you will be able to switch between Cycle and Creation magic with the V key (default key).
Unlike other characters, Ain only has 1 bead for awakening. He however can awaken during his awakening and ascend another stage.
Power (Disparate Force)

Power has two modes: Power: Cycle Magic
and Power: Creation Magic 
. When gaining Power, the default mode is known as El's Power: Circulating Magic. His two Power modes can be switched by pressing the [V] key (default key). only when the gauge is full.

Tips and Details
- Unlike a Reckless Fist with Subliminal Rage, the duration of Ain's Awakening is always fixed upon activation as opposed to stacking on the pre-existing duration.
- Despite Creation Mode implying that only magical attack based combos will trigger certain effects, this is false as all projection based ranged combos still do physical damage.
- There isn't any case of a magic based attack triggering the physical effects, however.
- If the Ring of Fury is equipped, Ain will automatically enter Awakening Stage 3 upon the first awakening. This also applies to Fever.
