Hello people! News from BGC: Mari’s Story was released on the newest Level Up! Magazine, together with some bits about Season 3.

Grand Chase receives its 10th character

Except for the artifacts that are scattered around the world, Mari is the last thing left from the great and ancient kingdom known as Calnat. For no known reason, this place belonging to the region of Arquimidia completely disappeared.

Maybe Mari could remember who or what caused such devastation. However, in some moment of her history, her memory was completely erased. This amnesia only wasn’t capable of making her forget her name and her love for magic, mechanics and robotics.

Being alone was enough: she didn’t like noise or long conversations. Because of that, she remained alone during a long time, reading; nothing made her happier than satisfying her curiousity. After years of study and using her natural magic capacity, Mari managed to create some of the technology of Calnat. In one of her books, she found inscriptions about the Temple of Destruction.

Mari traveled there. She wasn’t interested in the rare artifacts, on the corrupt gods or the challenges she could find. She only wanted to study the technology behind the hydraulic machinery of the building. Suddenly, she saw a group of nine adventurers. One caught her attention: he had black hair and a certain aura of arrogance.

Even though she didn’t have any memories, Mari felt that, somehow, something was connected to that man. Was he from her people? Was he a friend or someone that saved her? Then, a girl with long pink hair called him: “Sieghart”. Then, he was called Sieghart. That name echoed in her thoughts for a couple of minutes. And with no apparent reason, Mari thought it would be better to join them.

Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic

Mari is the only character of Grand Chase capable of creating technological artifacts and combine them with her arcane powers. She always carries a Manual full of instructions to help her build her machines. Obviously, in emergency situations, nothing stops her from using this big book as a weapon and hitting her opponent’s head.

In Technological Mode, Mari will build Cannons to attack her enemies. And to stop them from approaching and using physical attacks – after all, her defense isn’t one of the best – the girl can create a Protection Panel to ’shock’ those that dont keep their distance.

In the Arcane Mode, the new character will be able to conjure Particles, that will explode AND push her enemies away. And if all other strategies fail, she will still be able to use her secret weapon, known as W.D.W.

Even though she buils a lot of utilities, Mari is fragile and doesn’t have good attacks at a short distance. Because of that, her skills were made to keep the enemy faaar away! Conquering such tactics could not be easy for begginers, because its a must to have knowledge about the game’s battle system to properly use this character.

Profile

Name: Mari Ming Onette
Age: Unknown, at least 15 years old.
Job: Technomage

How to unlock her

As always, there are two options of the test: GP and CASH.

In the GP test, you will need to explore the Altar of Destruction, the Forest of Life and the Temple of Syntony, collecting 10 to 15 artifacts in each one. It will also be necessary to defeat the Gods that rule these places (the Divine Tree, Periett and Thanatos).

In the CASH test, you will need to find a Crystal or a Gem.

I guess this is it. Took me a while to translate that!

Remember: Mari is gonna be released in BGC next week!

Thank you for reading,

Firest.

Here is the Commander (Warlord) article on the 24th Level Up! Poster Magazine, translated by me.

Sieghart, the Commander

Battlefields are not the place for weak or sensitive people. They are tough and cruel ambients, devastated by dark forces and men fighting desperately, as if there was no tomorrow, and hoping that it will be enough to bring the victory to their side. And there is nowhere in the world where Sieghart feels more comfortable than them.

Sieghart spent his last 600 years on endless battlefields, together with the clan of Immortals. Its no wonder that this men, hardened by centuries of battles and toughened by his natural skills, appears so calm – there are those who say that they can hear his delighted laughter during his battles – facing an army, even if he is alone. This inconsequent and confident style inspires everyone and attracts lots of followers, who soon started to call him “Commander”.
Sieghart doesn’t like the responsibility of leadership, but he doesn’t care. If they stay out of his way, men can follow him for as much time as they want.

It’s SIR Commander to you!

In his return to Bermesiah, Sieg started to fight for the Grand Chase. After little time, he saw Elesis’ mastery with the spear. He decided to give the weapon a try. He soon mastered it, and perceived the advantages of having more range. However, it didn’t please him that he lost the effectivity that his blade gave him on close combats. Because of his unconquerable spirit, he decided to dare: he started to fight using both the spear and his sword.

With one, he parried the enemy attacks and maintained his distance. With the other, he used surprise attacks, approaching with incredible speeds, doing great damage. Sieghart created a unique style, powerful and startling. But that’s not his only new move. As he fights, his dark powers appear, and the power and fury of his attacks expand exponentially.

The Techniques of the Commander

•Blazing Blades: With the spear, the hero throws the enemy up, and then strikes him with his sword.

•Punishing Blades: While running, Sieghart strikes his enemies spinning his spear and hitting the ground with his sword.

•Spear of Dark Flames: Sieghart applies two attacks with his sword. Then, a burning spear unleashes a true explosion!
