Game Mechanics
How the anime MMORPG loop actually works.
Combat System
Distinctive feature: dual combat modes. Players can switch between Action combat (real-time, combo-based) and Target combat (traditional tab-targeting). "Showcase your difference with numerous combo combinations and play styles."
PvE Content
Cardinal Quest main storyline. World Boss system with timed spawns. Dungeon Crawler content (Steam tag confirmed). EXP/Drop/Gold events run periodically (e.g., Lunar Event: +100% EXP, +20% Drop, +10% Gold).
PvP Modes
Five distinct PvP systems:
Instanced PvP with power-balanced matchmaking. YouTube: "Balanced Round using Wizard".
Broader competitive system alongside World Boss content.
Guild-based territory control (castle siege).
School-vs-school PvP (MP vs SG vs PHX).
Guild-vs-guild combat. "Guild War-Lord" UI element confirmed.
Life-Sim Systems
Confirmed features from Steam store description. Core part of the anime MMO tradition.
Progression
Level progression goes deep — accounts at Level 163+ Archer and 173+ Swordsman observed in trading. No confirmed hard cap (potentially 200+). Stat allocation on level-up across 7 stats (see Classes page).
Skill System
Skills organized by level requirement tiers: 107, 117, 127, 147, 157. Skills leveled individually with skill points (SP). Dual Skill system allows activating two skill sets simultaneously (premium feature).
Cross-Platform Play
