Elsword is a 3D side-scrolling MMOG created by KOG studio, currently released in Korea, Taiwan, Hong Kong, Japan, Germany, and North America. It is the spiritual successor to [[Grand Chase]]. Elsword has improved on systems Grand Chase had, along with more [[Animesque]] graphics and improved gameplay. Instead of making rooms like in Grand Chase, you get to explore the whole world of Elsword (which is still a [[Side View|side-scroller]]). Like Grand Chase, this game subverts the norm by giving players a few preset characters instead of having a character creator. The [[Fighter, Mage, Thief|first set of available characters]] includes Elsword, the hot-headed Swordsman, Rena, the cool and calm Archer, and Aisha, the arrogant Mage. They are all [[Expy|expies]] to their respective counterparts from Grand Chase - Elesis, Lire and Arme. Other characters include Raven, a war-veteran [[Cyborg]], Eve, a [[Robot Girl]], and Chung, a young boy with an [[BFG|oversized cannon]].
 
In this game players create rooms in order to complete a mission stage. The basic objective for these stages is to beat up everything in sight, move to the next screen, and wash, rinse, and repeat until you reach the boss. Players are awarded the in-game currency of ED and some [[Experience Points|EXP points]] for finishing a mission. This game also features a [[Player Versus Player|PVP room]] for the more experienced players.

----
=== This game provides examples of: ===
 
* [[Abandoned Mine]]: Richie Mine, a dungeon where the Nasods have started setting up base and excavating materials to build more of their kind.
Line 13 ⟶ 12:
* [[The Archer]]: Rena.
* [[Arm Cannon]]: Raven can shoot fireballs from his Nasod arm, Raven's new Weapon Taker job path enables a [[Gatling Good]] as one of his special active.
* [[Armor -Piercing Slap]]: The first thing Eve does upon being reactivated is slap Elsword in the face. It's also used as a move in one of Eve's combos.
* [[Attack Its Weak Point]]: The Nasod King's Core.
* [[Awesome but Impractical]]: Most of the Level 3 special moves, since you charge MP much slower than Grand Chase, and unless you are Rena or Aisha, you have to attack monsters to gain MP, or drink MP potions.
Line 43 ⟶ 42:
* [[Driven to Suicide]]: The only thing keeping Raven from this point until he met Elsword and co. was the fact that the Nasods were using him.
* [[Dude Looks Like a Lady]]: Chung, made even more glaring into his "Fury Guardian" class, and even MORE glaring at the further development into Iron Paladin.
* [[Dual -Wielding]]: Elsword's Sheath Knight job path, he can wield two swords now.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Players can infuse their weapons with elemental Elshards, which gives their weapon some upgrade responding to the elements.
* [[Exact Time to Failure]]: Many quests involve you beating a dungeon on a certain difficulty within a certain amount of time. Needless to say, a timer near the top of the screen shows you exactly how much time has passed, to the nearest second.
* [[Explosive Overclocking]]: Invoked by the '[[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin|Self-Destructive Acceleration]]' title you can obtain during matchmaking fights. The title ups your abilities, but reduces your HP and MP drastically.
* [[Expy]]: The first three starter characters mirrors their personality and relationship from their counterpart in Grand Chase.
* [[Everything Trying to Kill You]]
Line 56 ⟶ 55:
* [[Forgets to Eat]]: The game actually warns players about this. "You must not skip meals even if Elsword gives so much fun."
* [[Freudian Excuse]]: Raven's past, the Belder capital falsely accuse him of treason and plans to execute him just because the royals hate him, his friends and fiancé came to rescue him but all get killed, leaving Raven half-dead, and later getting taken by Nasod races to be brainwashed into helping in a siege in Altera.
* [[Frickin' Laser Beams]]: A lot of Code Electra's attacks involve laser beams, making Dark Mage's Plasma Cutter fail in comparison.
* [[Gainaxing]]: Rena, where even standing still will invoke movement of her assets.
* [[Glass Cannon]]: Aisha, although it can be subverted temporarily with Mana Shield.
Line 73 ⟶ 72:
* [[Magic From Technology]]: The Nasods (plus Raven) are particularly good at pretending to be elementalists despite being robots.
* [[Magic Knight]]: Elsword's Magic Knight class.
* [[Magical Girl]]: Although Aisha's Elemental Master path dresses the part, Aisha's new [[Full -Contact Magic|Battle Magician]] job comes with a [[Transformation Sequence]] and a costume change as part of a skill.
* [[Medieval Stasis]]: Despite King Wally's town of Elder being quite advanced due to his influence, it is still strictly medieval.
* [[Mighty Glacier]]: Chung. More so as Fury Guardian.
Line 82 ⟶ 81:
* [[More Dakka]]: Shooting Guardian, Chung's magic class.
** Taken further by it's upgrade Deadly Chaser.
* [[Nerf]]: Happens rather often, will often overlap with [[They Changed It, Now It Sucks]].
* [[Never Split the Party]]: The characters always stick together and never split up. The gameplay has this too, depending on your skill level: the game is much easier when in a large party.
* [[Panty Shot]]: The girls will occasionally flash their panties by action but Aisha is the greatest offender. It doesn't help that the color and various other properties changes as she class changes into Elemental Master.
* [[Perfect Play AI]]: SS ranked NPC Blademaster is the most notable example, all the AI can use skills and awakenings in the middle of YOUR combo.
* [[Playing Withwith Fire]]: Literally, on Elsword's Magic Knight job.
* [[Powered Byby a Forsaken Child]]: In a sense. Eve had to shut herself down and use her own energy to power the Nasod King and his subjects. She was only rebooted when the Nasod King was destroyed.
* [[Power Source]]: Eve to the Nasod King, as stated above. Also, the Nasod King turns to the El Stone stolen from Ruben and installs it into his Powertrain.
* [[Power -Up Food]]: Players will occasionally find things such as chicken, eggs, or fruit which can replenish health or mana points, and some potions increase speed or Awaken your character.
* [[Pure Energy]]: Elsword has a few special attacks which seem to use giant swords made of this. Aisha can use laser beams, though that could be magic and not energy.
* [[Ridiculously Human Robot]]: Eve, the only way to tell her she is a Nasod is her eyes.
Line 98 ⟶ 97:
* [[Sugar and Ice Personality]]: Eve.
* [[Super Speed]]: Oberon is capable of doing this in one of the active skill. But Raven as Sword Taker takes it [[Up to Eleven]] by cutting everything up with one slash (depending on the number of enemys within the range).
* [[Tall, Dark and Bishoujo]]: Rena
* [[The Computer Is a Cheating Bastard]]: while attaching an element to your weapon only gives it a 15% chance to activate it, if a monster has one, expect it to activate tenfold at least 90% of the time.
* [[Token Mini MoeLoli]]: Aisha is often portrayed as such by fandoms, and Eve.
* [[Verbal Tic]]: Pick any non-human, and you'll find one. The tic seems to be the same for all members of that race.
* [[Which Me?]]: It gets somewhat confusing when you get to the Black Crow as Raven and have to fight...Raven. Also, in the Eltype comic serialization, Aisha experiences this when she [[All Just a Dream|dreams]] about life in the future. Each character has advanced to their last job class, only for their alternate job path selves to later appear, Aisha's included.
* [[Zettai Ryouiki]]: With the [[Bribing Your Way to Victory|cash shop]] you can dress up your girl characters into this. What class is up to you but class A or S is possible.
