* TearJerker: Crosses into CrowningMomentOfHeartwarming but mostly TearJerker. When the game's servers being turned off for good on April 2015, the staff of KOG and the top players said their thanks and farewells in a video called: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHNBL75R0nA A Farewell From Grand Chase]]. Pretty much all of the players state that they had great memories playing the game and are sad to see it go.

Many Brazilian players (especially Lass/Ryan/Ronan users) complained about Arme and Lire being "too broken" for PvP (especially the former) because of their ranged attacks.

** Kassias Grandiel, the boss in Wizards Labyrinth is bigger pain than Thanatos.

** Kassias Grandiel, the boss in the last stage of Wizards Labyrinth starts of with over 600 life bar. His energy ball can chase the player and deals massive damage, same goes to his lightning stream and circullar array of lightning orbs. Reducing 30% of his life bar makes him summon Veron and Drawl with insane damage and life bar, Kassias will be invincible until both Veron and Drawl are still in the arena. When his life bar is below 200, he will then summon clones of him which he can use all the same attacks as the original.
