Last March, we introduced the upcoming Hwarang mercenary. This week, we thought we’d tell you a little bit about this new character’s specialties and magic.
The Hwarang were an elite group of male youth in Silla, an ancient Korean kingdom that lasted until the 10th century. They were educational institutions as well as social clubs where members gathered for all aspects of study, originally for arts and culture steeped in Buddhism and Taoism. These groups developed into a more military organization as the Silla court centralized political power and battled to unite the Three Kingdoms. (Taken from Wikipedia).
The Hwarang has three spells:
1. Seal Instrument: This spell decreases the attack power and seals magic against all enemy musician characters.
2. Hwarang’s Aura: Increases long range mercenaries’ attack power and multiple hit rate.
3. Hwarang’s Fury: Increases Allies’ Attack Power by sacrificing himself. The Hwarang who uses this magic will lose his life.
Hwarang’s quest is based in the Bulguksa dungeon (level 112 dungeon) in Korea.
