Lineage W 5th Anniversary Update Introduces New Dancer Class

NCSOFT (NC) rolled out the 5th anniversary update for its MMORPG Lineage W on November 4, introducing the new signature class 'Dancer', the new world 'Ashur', and the Arena Dungeon 'Druga's Secret Base, Forbidden Zone'.

The 'TJ Coupons' provided to mark the 5th anniversary cover the entire period since the game's launch. Players can use them to restore six types of destroyed items: weapons, armor, paid equipment, Morphs, Magic Dolls, and Spell Cards.

The new world 'Ashur' opens on November 4 at 6:00 PM. NCSOFT introduced it as an Extreme Hyper-Boosting server where players can reach level 80 within two weeks. Players receive large quantities of Morph and Magic Doll draw tickets daily, and can acquire Diamonds using 'Ashur Coins' collected through gameplay.

As a ranged class, the 'Dancer' specializes in rapid fire and PvP combat while restricting target movement. Its exclusive weapon, the 'Lightning Fan', increases ranged accuracy and evasion. Its exclusive armor, the 'Charm', increases Amplification Resistance and evasion while reducing hit delay.

The Dancer's spells consist of attack and target-control capabilities. 'Triple Quill' rapidly attacks a single target three times, while 'Rapid Quill' offers a chance to land two additional attacks upon a successful strike. 'Static Breeze' is a spell that triggers an extra attack after a set number of attack attempts. Players can also use 'Air Bind' to airborne targets and 'Thunder Stun' to stun them. Alongside this new class, a Class Change event is available for all classes except the 'Monarch'.

In the new Arena Dungeon 'Druga's Secret Base, Forbidden Zone', a boss appears immediately upon entry. Defeating the boss takes place over three phases, with the field expanding progressively each time the boss is slain in a phase. The dungeon features diverse gameplay mechanics and enhanced raid elements.

NCSOFT plans to introduce the survival competition content 'Druga's Underground Training Ground' in November. 'Druga's Tactical Test Ground', where Blood Pledge members challenge giant bosses together to compete for rankings, will also be launched in the same month.

The Lineage W '5th Anniversary Shop' event runs until November 11. Detailed information about the update can be found on the official Lineage W website.
