▲''Lost Saga'' is a Korean MMO that, like many others is free to play. The American version is hosted by [[OG Planet]], famous for other games it hosts such as [[Latale]] and Rumble Fighter.
The basic premise of Lost Saga (subtitled "Fighting Action Heroes" for reasons that become blatantly obvious really quickly) is taking heroes from all parts time and having them beat the snot out of each other. It's a primarily [[PvP]] MMO, but a [[Player Versus Environment|PvE]] mode, called "crusade", pits you against NPC skeletons. The game boasts a unique feature in that you are not bound to having only one character at a time. In fact, you can have several heroes at once. You even get an XP bonus for having at least 2, and having 5 effectively doubles your XP gained. Sadly, the heroes all run on a timer, so you have to continuously hire them (in 2 or 10 hour increments, with exceptions if you like [[Bribing Your Way to Victory]]).
Line 9 ⟶ 8:
The game has a unique battle system. Heroes are given four basic equipment slots: a trinket slot, a helmet slot, an armor slot, and a weapon slot. Heroes initially have four pieces of equipment specific to them, which are returned to them on respawn. These equipment pieces all have different in-battle effects and skills. However, players can obtain "epic" gears, which are essentially base equipment, but with enhanced stats and the ability to be equipped to any hero of choice. Some combinations have been deemed to be [[Game Breaker|game breakers]].
One special aspect of the game is the fact that some heroes are actually based on characters from other media. Some more notable characters are [[Guilty Gear|Sol Badguy]], [[
{{tropelist}}
* [[Anachronism Stew]]: Just look at the image above.
* [[An Axe to Grind]]: The Viking Raider hero uses one.
* [[Anchors Away]]: [[Guilty Gear|May.]]
* [[And Your Reward Is Clothes]]: Epic Gears, which are basically different looking versions of the various Heroes' gear(that comes from gear chests or purchasable in the store) that can be equipped to any hero from your in-game inventory. They do, however, offer a bonus to the skill's cooldown rate and the associated stat(Strength for weapons, Defence for armor, Speed for hats, and Dexterity for accessories)
* [[Animal Motifs]]: [[
* [[Arm Cannon]]: The Heavy Crasher has rocket launchers for arms.
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: All the heroes do one as a sort of idle taunt. If you're too impatient to see, you can press the space bar to do it. It lasts a few seconds though, so you might want to clear a bit of space before doing it. Some heroes' poses are more [[Badass]] than others, though...
* [[Audible Sharpness]]: The Reaper is one of the last heroes that you can unlock. Swinging that scythe around makes a very satisfying "SHINK" sound. Since you have [[Implausible Fencing Powers]] as well, you can rack up quite the combo with it.
** This actually applies to almost every weapon with a sharp edge in the game, actually. Most will make some manner of "SHINK" sound of their own.
* [[Automatic Crossbow]]: The Devil Ranger.
* [[Badass in
* [[Badass Longcoat]]: Captain Hook, Mafia Boss, Exorcist, Priest and [[
* [[Balloonacy]]: The Joker can tie his opponents to balloons and make them float away.
* [[Bare Your Midriff]]: Take a look at some of the female heroes. Special note to the female Desert Blader, who looks like a belly dancer.
Line 31 ⟶ 28:
* [[Beehive Barrier]]: The Heavy Crasher and the Crazy Sapper both have this for a helmet ability.
* [[BFS]]: The Savage Berserker, Sol Badguy, Ragna, and the Death Knight all use one.
* [[Blade
* [[Blow Gun]]: The Chieftain's accessory.
* [[Boom! Headshot!]]: The weapon skill for the Musketeer hero.
** Another of the Musketeer's skills is Sword Thrust, where he stabs with a rapier and kicks out. This kick looks a lot like the famous SPARTA KICK, especially if you kick someone over the edge. This, combined with Headshot, leads some people to call him/her the [[Fan Nickname|Meme-keteer.]]
Line 47 ⟶ 44:
** Certain things, like upgrading a hero's stats, or using the auction feature, require the in-game currency. Sometimes, these things become a bit more expensive than your in-game wallet can handle. Of course, you can always use the purchasable currency to get copious amounts of the in-game currency...
* [[The Cameo]]: Crazily enough, Sol Badguy from [[Guilty Gear]] is now a playable hero (listed as a Premium Mercenary) in both the Korean and North American versions.
** To make it crazier, now Jin Kisaragi from [[
*** Mercenary #50 is Ragna the Bloodedge, from the same game.
* [[Cane Fu]]: The Puppeteer.
* [[Capoeira]]: [[Captain Obvious|The Capoeira]].
* [[Cartoon Bomb]]: Captain Hook uses these in stark contrast to the Sapper's mines and the Crasher's missiles.
* [[Cast
* [[Casting a Shadow]]: The Dark Shaman and Death Knight.
* [[Catgirl]]: The Wild Tiger hero and can be male or female, but it's just a person in a costume.
Line 62 ⟶ 59:
* [[Chinese Vampire]]: These guys appear in the Ghost Tag mode, where one character starts out as one and must infect other players who in turn must go out and attempt to turn each human into one.
* [[Clothes Make the Superman]]: In one of the first quests for leveling the Justice Defender hero mentions that he is just an ordinary guy with a super-suit (and shield).
** In-game, the weapon you wield defines what hero you are. For example, if you are a Fire Mage (or wielding the staff of one), you can [[Double Jump]], but you can't dash. If you pick up the Iron Knight's longsword, you lose the ability to double-jump, but gain the ability to dash. And then there's weapons like the Smile Joker's toy hammer or the Ninja's daggers that let you dash AND double-jump.
* [[Clothing Damage]]: Not actual clothing getting torn, but once your Hero runs out of HP, any further damage outside of being knocked off the edge of the area will make their gear fall off for others to pick up.
* [[Comeback Mechanic]]: When Ragna is low on health his weapon skill transforms from Inferno Divider into Black Onslaught.
Line 76 ⟶ 73:
* [[Dual-Wielding]]: The Kage Ninja dual wields short swords.
** Saladin, an Arabian-themed hero, dual wields a long sword and a short sword.
** Both of those guys are outdone by Hawkeye, who wields a pair of [[Double Weapon|two-sided blades.]] He can also do this with another pair of circular blades. Chieftain wields a [[An Axe to Grind|tomahawk]] and [[Blade
* [[Elegant Gothic Lolita]]: The Puppeteers dress this way. Premium character Rachel Alucard qualifies as well.
* [[Elemental Powers]]: Now in [[Fire, Ice, Lightning|three flavors]]! [[Kill It
** The Magic Lancer has all three.
** Special mention to a few Legendary Gears(Epic Gear-like armor, hats, and trinkets without an associated hero) that seem to grant people [[Blow You Away|Wind Magic]]. There is also a legendary gear in the form of a fire orb that can summon flames that orbit around the hero.
** The Tao Warrior seems to have wind and earth-based skills with his Wind Shock and Sky Shatter, respectively. The premium hero Chaos Dahlia has a wind theme going on with skills like [[Hurricane Kick|"Cyclone"]] and [[Invisibility Cloak|"Like a Wind"]].
** [[
* [[Everything's Better
* [[Eye Beams]]: The Justice Defender's helmet skill.
* [[Face Design Shield]]: Spartacus's shield has a lion's face on it.
* [[Fashionable Asymmetry]]: The Devil Ranger due to his mask and accessory which looks like a single wing.
* [[Fighting
* [[Flash Step]]: The ninja's and Grim Reaper's hat skills.
* [[Fridge Logic]]: If this game is about "Fighting Action Heroes", why is a playable Hero a MAFIA BOSS?
Line 112 ⟶ 109:
* [[Jet Pack]]: One member of each of the primary character types have them: Justice Defender for melee, Space Trooper for range and Cyber Meidc for magicians. Your character also gets a jetpack when relic hunting.
* [[Jousting Lance]]: The Unicorn [[Captain Obvious|Lancer]].
* [[Knife Nut]]: The Mafia Boss, Special Force, Priest and [[
* [[Lethal Lava Land]]: The two Volcano stages.
* [[Luckily, My Shield Will Protect Me]]: The Justice Defender is the most notable example. The Spartacus hero uses his in one of his active skills and the Viking's shield works as a passive defense to all attacks on him from behind.
* [[Macross Missile Massacre]]: The Heavy Crasher's specialty via his weapon and trinket skills.
* [[Magic Knight]]: All of the mages are pretty capable at using their staves as melee weapons, of course, but some more notable examples would be the sword wielding Exorcist, the Tao Warrior who uses a spear alongside wind and earth based magic and the more recent and appropriately named Magic Lancer.
* [[Make Me Wanna Shout]]: The Rockstar does this with his trinket, a megaphone.
* [[Making a Splash]]: Some of [[Guilty Gear|May's]] attacks have water effects.
* [[Marionette Master]]: The Puppeteer.
* [[Megaton Punch]]: The Boxing Champ's Nuclear Punch skill.
* [[More Dakka]]: The Infantryman's Barrage Skill. Also the Minigun Legendary Gear.
** The Mafia Boss [[Villain Protagonist|"hero"]] dual-wields fully automatic handguns...which he/she can [[Unorthodox Reload|reload on the fly.]]
Line 135 ⟶ 132:
* [[Power Armor]]: The Heavy Crasher Hero says hi.
* [[Power Glows]]: Most Epic Gears glow. Namely quite a few of the weapons. The Mages also glow when charging/aiming magic and the Charge-up Attacks for the Grand Templar and Death Knight cause their weapons to glow as the charge is held longer.
** The epic Sapper Mines are especially notable due to their [[Tron Lines]].
* Precision-[[Guided Boomerang]]: Hawkeye's blades.
* [[Rainbow Pimp Gear]]: Mostly averted as the epics for each hero mesh pretty well together. Of course, nothing's stopping you from "optimizing" your character for Boss Raid by equipping the epic Ice Robe (blue/white), epic Lollipop Headband (purple), epic Tao Blade (red/gold), and the epic Cyber Jetpack (pink/white)...
Line 145 ⟶ 142:
* [[Sidetracked By the Golden Saucer]]: Sure, you could save the world by beating down the undead in Crusade mode...or you could [[Heroes Gone Fishing|go fishing for some]] very valuable [[Vendor Trash]]. Or buy yourself a Relic Hunting Kit and dig up some free Epic Gears.
* [[Sinister Scimitar]]: The Desert Blader/Saladin wields two of them.
* [[Sinister Scythe]]: The Reaper, naturally. Ragna's
* [[Spikes of Villainy]]: The Death Knight.
** The Necromancer to an even greater extent.
Line 156 ⟶ 153:
* [[Sword and Gun]]: The Special Force heroes do this with a pistol and knife. The Priest does this with a shotgun and short sword.
* [[Sword Lines]]: These are seen on nearly every single bladed weapon (and some blunt ones too) with each character getting their own distinct color.
* [[This Is Gonna Suck]] / [[And the Fandom Rejoiced]]: During the early years of LS, some heroes were "released" to the game in the fact that the only way to get them was via Treasure Capsules. Currently this only happens with Epic/Legendary Gears.
** This also happens before every update. Lots of people get hyped up for what they're going to get, then rage on the forums after the update patches.
** The same can be said for Korean Lost Saga updates, since North American LS gets spoilers from some forumers.
