Expansion of [Hackpell]: [Hakkapeliter]

Hakkapeliter that shares the concept of Swordsman - Hackpell will be added to the Scout class in the next big update!

Hackapell could not gather in groups more than 100 by the Kingdom's law. Due to this law, they have always acted as mercenaries in either small groups or as individuals. This is an outdated law that many feel to be arbitrary in the current age, but it is still yet to be revised by the Kingdom's lawmakers.

Hackapells, who were only able to work in minority groups or individuals due to the old laws of the kingdom, have learned various combat knowledge and secrets through their activities. In particular, as more and more Hackapells choose to overpower the enemy with pistol shots instead of the existing protocol - chasing the enemy - they were named Hakkapeliter even on formal occasions.

Hakkapeliter is a Scout class that uses Pistol. Like Swordman class - Hackapell, he uses skills that can be used only when mounted on companions and adheres to the fighting style of driving attacks at the enemy with excellent maneuverability. However, as it mainly focuses on ranged attacks, it has developed into a form that can understand and utilize more on the battlefield.

Hakkapeliter

In this update, we have remade the Hackapell in the Swordsman class into Scout. Hackapell has appeared as a Hybrid class that uses One-handed Sword and Crossbow in Archer class at first, but has been moved to the Swordsman class on the Re:Build update.

Scout class consists of Dagger and Pistol dealer, and the subclass is yet enough of class compared to other classes. Also, because it is a class that needs the companion mounting, Hackapell that has melee, distant, and maneuver as a concept joined the Scout. Unlike the Re:Build, the Hackapell is not moving to the Scout class but will be expanded as Hakkapeliter class that uses Pistol attack and added to the Scout class.

Hakkapeliter has attack skills that uses Pistol. It is a skill attacking, mount combatting class that can take advantage of moving and moving shots. Another mount class among Scout, the Schwarzer Reiter, mainly uses a basic attack Limacon, but if you learn other attack skills instead of Limacon, you can create a new build with Hakkapeliter.

Expand in Cleric class attack property compatibility

Cleric Class is divided into Physical attack (STR) and Magic attack (INT).

Healer/subclass has another stat (SPR) as the main, which enables some classes to convert physical/magic, but the actual build combination is very limited compared to the number of classes in the series. There are classes that have limitations due to various weapons such as Swordsman or Archer, but it can be covered by the dual weapon slot and that it is not divided by the stat and they can change the class by changing the weapon type.

Attribute that changes Physical Stat ↔ Magic Stat in some classes will be unified to Cleric class which is the basic class, and the property that you choose will be applied to every attack of the character.

For example, when the character with Monk (Physical) - Crusader (Magic) - Krivis (Magic) - Krivis(Switching) combination selects ‘Magic Stat’, the Monk skill will be applied as magic property and the damage will be calculated based on Magic Attack (INT). When the character changes to Physical Stat, every attack will be based on Physical Attack (STR).
Stat Switching is available only to Physical - Magic and is not applied to sub type based on SPR.

Thus, if someone has set the build to Physical with Monk, Inquisitor, and other classes by STR stat, and the other has set the build to Magic with Exorcist, Crusader, and other classes by INT stat, you can combine classes with a different property that couldn’t be combined until now by selecting the property attribute according to the item you have.

This concludes the posting about Hakkapeliter and other class adjustments.
