General Playable Character Tropes

• Airplane Arms: Aisha, Rena, Raven, Eve, Lu/Ciel and Rose run like this.
• Alternate Self: Touched upon in the fourth Eltype Season 1 comic where there exists the characters' alternate job selves (for example, Lord Knight and Rune Slayer) alongside each other; some other official comics run with it as well.
  • The only time it is played straight in the game's story, though, is in Diabolic Esper's story. Specifically, Add perfected the ability to go back in time to prevent his family from being killed, but he miscalculated and wound up in another timeline in which he found that his family had never been killed and his young self was living happily with his family.
• Amplifier Artifact/Upgrade Artifact: All jobs have purchasable special items that lets them turn into their chosen next job without taking the quests (when they meet the required level, that is).
• Anti-Air: In general, skills that can be used in midair are this, with few exceptions (such as Wind Sneaker's Sharp Fall or Rune Slayer's Sword Fire - both target what's below them instead). As are skills with wide area coverage that can hit anywhere near the user (Trapping Ranger's Humming Wind or Over Taker's Charged Bolt) and Homing Projectile skills.
• Armor-Piercing Attack: All skills that are equipped with the Critical trait gain 50% Armor piercing (25% in PvP) in exchange for increased cost.
  • Infinity Sword: Sharp Sword passive gives a chance to completely ignore defenses.
  • Void Princess: Deadly Shadow passive grants a flat chance to ignore defenses.
  • Sword Taker: Shockwave Divider's final enhancement.
  • Code: Electra: Code Recovery - Breaker: attacks passed through an El Crystal Spectrum force field.
  • Tactical Trooper: Mark of Commander missiles.
  • Yama Raja: Howling Wolf, for her Secret Wolf Arts, and Force Spear.
  • Asura: Spell: Spiritual Eye passive applies this to a percent of her total damage.
  • Lunatic Psyker: Amplify Energy passive, for his Nasod Armor Combos.
  • Chilliarch: Apollyon
  • Storm Trooper: Code: War Machine, after the War Machine buff is gained, for special actives.
  • Erbluhen Emotion: Mut-affected skills.
• Ass-Kicking Pose: In their login poses, as well as when they activate Awakening Mode.
• Badass Crew: Elsword's El Search Party is pretty much this, eventually.
• Blonde, Brunette, Redhead: For the Boys, it's Chung, Raven and Elsword respectively. For the Girls, it's Rose, Ara, and Elesis.
• Calling Your Attacks: Except for Ara. Though in the Japanese version, she's shouting the skill names in Japanese.
• Character Development: Most of the backgrounds of the character's class changes, describe the trials and decisions they chose to deal with them, with each path representing a different decision and trial. Most apparent with Raven, Eve and Ain.
• Color-Coded Characters: Elsword is red, Aisha is purple, Rena is green, Raven is black/dark grey, Eve is light pink, Chung is light blue, Ara is orange, Elesis is crimson, Add is pale purple, Lu/Ciel is dark blue, Rose is yellow, Ain is teal, Laby is hot pink, Noah is indigo, and Lithia is emerald.
• Combo Breaker: The Mana Break mechanic, which involves you holding the Z or X button while being combo'd to force yourself to be knocked down, allowing you to escape (or counter with a Recovery Attack), with the cost of 100 MP minimum.
  • A few combos and skills either cancels mana break, or can't be mana broken, such as Rune Slayer's Storm Blade.
  • One of Elesis' stances allows her to not waste MP while combo breaking and instead will knock down and damage the enemy (along with making her Immune to Flinching for a few seconds afterward) with the same command as above. Her special gauge will be used a bit if she does so, however.
  • Crimson Avenger's Assault Strike skill lets her deny their enemies their Mana Break with a debuff.
  • After an update, any skills that equipped with a Ruthless Trait, will also cancel mana break.
• Cooldown Manipulation: Certain traits change the cooldowns on their associated skills, and certain Final Enhanced effects reduce cooldown time:
  • The Haste trait, if selected, can reduce the cooldown of associated skills to 80%.
  • The Heavy, Reversed, and Powerful traits instead raise the cooldown time in exchange for higher attack power, lowered MP cost, or Super Armor.
  • The Regenerating (2) trait gives skills a chance to reduce their own cooldown on use.
  • Certain character skills are also deliberately geared towards cooldown manipulation.
    • Infinity Sword: The Brutal Slayer passive gives a chance to reduce skill cooldowns by one second each time he hits foes in a normal combo.
    • Blade Master: Giga Drive - Limiter changes the cooldowns on all of his Active skills to one second.
    • Code: Empress: Nasod Recharge, passive, gives her a chance to reset all skill cooldowns by using a skill.
    • Deadly Chaser: Intense Showtime decreases cooldown and MP cost of all of his skills in Berserk Mode.
    • Elesis: Chivalry System - Gale mode reduces Gale Skill MP cost and cooldowns.
    • Lunatic Psyker: EMP Shock puts all enemy skills into cooldown.
    • Diabolic Esper: Seal of Time reduces the current cooldowns of ally skills, and the Time Control passive reduces cooldowns on skills when he uses skills.
    • Noblesse: Nobility passive reduces cooldown duration when Combination Skills are used.
    • Dreadlord: Threat of Terror reduces skill cooldowns every time they perform a Burst of Fear.
    • Demonio: Manic Demon Form - Destruction reduces cooldowns on Madness State (transformation) skills when a foe is killed.
    • Heavy Barrel: Miracle Vision reduces skill cooldowns by 10% when active.
    • Crimson Rose: Saw Blade, passive: gives a chance to reduce the cooldown of all skills when using chain Blade skills.
    • Freyja: Quarter Master passive reduces cooldown time and increases the load of Grenade skills.
    • Optimus: G-Extension Passive: Each time the G skill transforms, attack power increases (max 5 stacks possible) and the current G skill's cooldown time is reduced. G-Mastery passive also reduces all skill cooldowns for 15 seconds if these stacks are maxed out.
    • Ain's Cycle Mode reduces the MP cost and cooldown of all skills, lowers the cost of mana break, and increases all stats except HP, attack, and defense.
• Darker and Edgier: The characters has at least one job path which has background that the character had been subjected to The Corruption at any form or at least became ruthless compared to what they originally are.
  • Elsword's Immortal path made him a bigger Blood Knight than he already is after the influence of Dark El. It all began with obtaining Conwell, a sheath that can summon swords at will, but grew more corrupt as Elsword continued to fight, amplifying his dark side.
  • Subverted in Aisha's Oz Sorcerer path. Despite being the darkest one among her jobs, she thoroughly understands the risks of mastering dark magic and isn't particularly twisted compared to the others.
  • Rena's Twilight path has darkness-themed naming, becoming a ruthless assassin who attacks from the darkness. While she still fights for the greater good, she also left behind her allies to take up Night Saber's offer to join their ranks.
  • Downplayed with Raven's Rage Hearts. While he struggles with using his Nasod arm, he comes to accept his arm as a part of him, allowing him to let go of his torment and become a superhuman swordsman capable of mass destruction. The Revenant path abandons atonement in favor of revenge for his fallen allies, destroying his Nasod arm with Alterasia, mutating it (and eventually altering himself) into the parasitic Valasia Arm and turning into a knight of death.
  • Code: Antithese dabbles into forbidden, buggy coding that slowly overwrites her original programming, turning her into a mad queen that lives to destroy all that she deems incorrect, including Remy, one of her Nasod drones.
  • Downplayed in Chung's Fatal Phantom path. He developed the Silver Shooter as a backup arm to his cannon, but he found eliminating his targets before the fight begins more favorable than being a frontline guardian, which he notices after every battle since he became the Deadly Chaser. He keeps his virtues, but acknowledges his shift in what it means to be a guardian.
  • Ara's Devi path utilizes forbidden arts as a means to her end, becoming a demon slayer with a lust for power.
  • Elesis's Bloody Queen path turns her into a vengeance-driven and bloodthirsty demon who acts on pure instinct.
  • Add's Mad Paradox path has him transform into a Liminal Being after driving himself into self-destructive insanity from multiple failures in time travel.
  • Lu/Ciel's Diangelion path has Lu transformed into a twisted dark lord who along with the demonized Ciel, forgo ruling in favor of destroying their oppressors and reveling in destruction. The Demersio path has a more tragic twist, with Lu forming another contract to save Ciel, but at the cost of her emotions. Ciel, feeling responsible for making Lu take that sacrifice, turns himself into a demon to protect her out of guilt.
  • Rose's Black Massacre path has her pursue Dark El in order to push past her limits, eventually becoming corrupted by it and waking her bloodlust.
  • Ain's Herrscher path made him taken over by Henir energy, severing his connections with Ishmael and turning him into an agent of Henir after learning life ends in oblivion. His Opferung path has him corrupted by Dark El, and eventually becomes so desperate to reach out to Ishmael he decides to cause chaos to get a response from her.
  • Subverted in Laby's Nisha Labyrinth path. While Nisha corrupts Laby, took over her body, and seals Laby's soul into the mirror, Nisha only does so to protect Laby and keep her safe and Laby herself is fine with it.
  • Subverted with Noah's Liberator path. Despite having a dark motive and dark powers, the Liberator overcomes his path of revenge to master his shadowy powers. His actual dark path would be the Morpheus path, where he becomes so steeped in his delusion of escapism, he clings onto Clamor and believes he's actually his brother.
  • Lithia's Achlys path causes her to experience her past mistake again, and becomes The Atoner realzing she was consumed by her own hubris.
• Do Not Run with a Gun: Played with. The projectile-shooting characters can fire them while running, but they'll stop running after they do it. Only averted with one of Blazing Heart's combos where she can fire fireballs forward while keeping her running pace, while one of Add's combos is similar but with a dash jump (after firing projectiles in midair he can continue running).
• Dub Name Change: Many of the skills' names are changed in overseas versions. The European server even uses different names for the characters' job names.
• Eagle Squadron/Knight Errant: As part of the El Search Party, their main job is searching for the El Shards and making sure they are safe. Yet they will volunteer to protect against malicious invasions, as in the Feita and Velder sagas.
• Everyone Has a Special Move: All the playable characters have systems unique to them that modifies their gameplay experiences to varying extents. Somewhat downplayed with Elesis and Elsword - both have the similar system and some similar skills as well, although they work by different means; it's also justified as one learns from the other.
• Four-Philosophy Ensemble:
  • The Cynic: Add^note He had a tragic past that shapes him into an insane boy with little social skills, and he's also a Teen Genius. Unlike Raven, he doesn't move out of his past and in fact plans to Set Right What Once Went Wrong by trying to capture Eve, Aisha^note Like Add, she's a genius who wants to regain her power back, is highly ruled by logic (though she's by no means skeptical) and often clashes with Elsword because of this, Ain^note He can be oblivious, such as with his nicknaming of the El Search Party by their race, and is devoted to his mission to restore the El at any cost. He also demonstrates his lack of human empathy by getting annoyed when having to do favors unrelated to his mission, which he considers a waste of time. His Apostasia line makes him even more cynical, while Erbluhen Emotion makes him an optimist instead.
  • The Optimist: Chung^note Being raised as a guardian of a city, he's very idealistic, determined, polite and strives to protect his friends, Laby ^note Simply being innocent yet kindhearted to the core. and, to a lesser extent, Elsword^note Like Chung he's a determined young swordsman striving to be a strong knight, and being stubborn and muscle-headed as well. He as a Lord Knight turns into a realist, though.
  • The Realist: Raven^note Being an experienced mercenary, he has a calm disposition and practical, objective approach to things. He's also often the one to defuse conflicts within his group. He starts as a cynic, though, and his Over Taker line drives him closer to that, while his other two classes make him more of a realist, Elesis^note While not as experienced as Raven, she's about just as wise while still staying spirited, and she's also disciplined and, as Grand Master, even becomes a leader of her own group and, to a lesser extent, Rena^note She leans slightly to the optimist, but being a centuries-old elf she knows when things are looking wrong and then act accordingly. She often is the one to mediate between Aisha and Elsword's ramblings. She's also calm, but can be scary when angered.
  • The Apathetic: Eve^note Being emotionally-challenged, it's hard for her to connect to someone without influence from said someone. Often unconcerned with the group's inner conflict whenever there's one. She's also an ancient Nasod with a goal of reviving her race and only sees "securing the El gems" as a means to an end. She'll definitely lend her help when her teammates need it, though, Lu and Ciel ^note Like Eve, they have different, more personal goals from the rest of the party
  • The Conflicted: Ara^note She's full of thoughts in her head and thus she's often indecisive, clumsy and plagued by self-doubt. When the group has an inner conflict she's often just stands behind or sometimes ineffectively trying to calm down the others. She as her later jobs moves out of this, though, having found her resolve and becoming an optimist except as Devi where she turns into a bit of cynic. and to lesser extent Laby ^note Due to her missing identity and sadness, there are times she is confused on how to act and feel in sad situations.
• Gender Flip: In the April Fools' Day event every year, players are given special "gender flipped" costumes and the Super Move Portrait Attack of the characters change into a special artwork of the respective gender flipped characters.
• Guys Smash, Girls Shoot: Played straight at first, with Aisha, Rena and Eve being able to shoot projectiles as a normal attack and has their magical powers more emphasized than their physical ones, whereas the reverse is true for the males; even Chung, who wields a BFG, is known more for his physical strength. Zigzagged later on where the girls have a class selection that smashes more than shoots, while the guys can have the reverse.
  • Starting from Ara's introduction - being the first girl who smashes by default - this trope is averted. Following this trend is Elesis, who is described by Elsword to be a knight before her playable debut.
  • This also applies to Add - being the first guy who shoots by default. Following him is Ain, who starts out with a Magical focus.
  • Completely inverted by Lu/Ciel. Lu is the one who uses brute force, while Ciel relies on his gunblade.
• Hero of Another Story: Elesis and Add; the former being strictly a knight from Velder who only meets the team in Velder (and her quest is implied to start right after she parted ways with her brother), while the latter followed the team in secret (though he does meet them in Hamel).
  • Meanwhile Lu/Ciel are strictly concerned on doing their own thing; getting stronger and trying to restore Lu's former glory and they hardly cross paths with the El Search Party (then again, they do meet them in Lanox). And Rose also has her own mission and only hears about Elsword's group in passing.
  • Laby has her own storyline and she is yet to cross paths with the El Search Party.
• Hitchhiker Heroes: The heroes start out as three - Elsword, Aisha and Rena - and from there the team gathers new members with similar goals to help with the job.
• Hotter and Sexier: All the characters have a Version 2 of the default promotional outfits that makes them appear a few years older with a different hairstyle and all the girls' outfits expose the tops of their chests.
• Iconic Outfit: Their promotional outfits (i.e the ones in their official artworks) are very close to the characters themselves.
• I Got Bigger: Elsword and Chung (but mostly the latter) are short in their first appearance, but upon advancing to 2nd job, they (or rather their in-game model) grow up.
• Immune to Flinching: All skills with the Powerful trait gain Super Armor in exchange for higher cooldown time.
  • Elsword: Possesses this as a 50MP Active. Destruction mode also used to do this. Also has access to many Super Armored combos.
  • Rena: Sniping Ranger's Rapid Shot and Combat Ranger's Assault Impact, Back Kick, and High Kick.
  • Raven has a handful of Super Armored combos and skills.
  • Eve: Code Nemesis' Final Enhanced Destruction Aura gains Super Armor.
  • Chung: Heavy Stance blocks 90% of all incoming damage and allows him to counterattack. Tactical Field grants this to allies, and Rapid Cannon comes with this natively.
  • Ara: Charged Attacks, Asura's Specter Walk.
  • Elesis: Like Elsword, possesses a Stoic active and stoic combos.
  • Lu/Ciel: Certain combos, Chilliarch's Power of Oriax buff, Diabla/Demonio's transformation skills and switch combos.
  • Rose: M-137 Gatling Gun, M-3 Flamethrower, Moving Shot, Multi Head Shot, Laser Rifle, Quantum Bomb, additional uses of Double Gunhawk. Certain combos.
  • Ain: Certain combos and actives.
• Impossibly Cool Clothes: Especially as their third jobs, where they incorporate lots of spikes on their clothes. To some extent, Reckless Fist and Void Princess, too.
• Intergenerational Friendship: Raven is the oldest human playable character at age 24, while Rena and Eve are Really 700 Years Old. The other five are in their early/mid teens.
  • Also for Lu and Ciel who's an immortal and 24 years old respectively.
  • For Ain's case, he has a questionable age.
• Knight, Knave, and Squire:
  • Elsword being the squire, being youthful and spirited with lots of potential and choices in life.
  • Raven being the knave, being a world-weary mercenary with a strained (but still optimistic) outlook in life.
  • Chung being a mix of squire and knight, being as young as Elsword but also a kind and protective person.
  • Elesis being a knight, having grown up to be a wiser and laid-back but still spirited young woman.
• Lag Cancel: Some combos can be cancelled into either a dash or a skill.
• Magically Inept Fighter: Elsword, Raven, Chung, Ara, Elesis and Rose, by default, excel in physical power and they have little magical power and defense as a result. In particular, it is mentioned that Elsword's weakest point is indeed at magic (whereas the other four can have some decent, but still not impressive, magical attacks). They can advance either to a purely physical class that plays with this even straighter, or a class that develops their magic power instead, subverting this trope. Rose however while has paths that is magical based, those are not really magical at all.
• Mana Burn: All skills equipped with the Evil trait burn MP with each hit. This is most often found on Spam Attack style skills to reduce resources given to the target.
  • Elsword: Rune Slayer's Wind Blade and Explosive fist. Infinity Sword's Brutal Slayer passive.
  • Aisha: Void Princess has many skills that inflict the Curse debuff, and a Mana Drain active.
  • Ara: Energy Absorption, Asura's Mana Drain active (which also deals damage, unlike VP).
  • Add: EMP Shock
  • Rose: M-137 Gatling Gun, Flame Strike, Pampero Booster, Sonic Spike - slightly.
• Next Tier Power-Up: Whenever they advance to a higher class. There's also the Transcendence system that upgrades their second class and gives them new skills and tricks. After they max their level, they can unlock El Resonance, which further enhances their abilities and all other characters linked to the same account.
• Nice, Mean, and In-Between: Chung, Ara and Rena are nice, Elsword and Add are mean, and the rest are in-between (notably Aisha can switch between the two).
• Ninja Run / Sword Drag: Elsword, Chung and Elesis run like this. Ara normally doesn't, but she does when she runs in midair.
• Only Known by Their Nickname: Chung, Add, Lu, Ain, and Rose are usually called this rather than their first name. For Add in particular, no one has ever called him Edward Grenore other than his long-dead parents. No one besides Ciel knows Lu's real name, Luciela R. Sourcream. Ain is almost never called "Ainchase Ishmael" outside of his tutorial and promotional material. Anna Testarossa is always referred to as her code name "Rose". Laby in the other hand was a nameless girl who is later named as "Nisha Labyrinth" but she only takes the "Laby" part for herself.
• Opposing Combat Philosophies: The whole point of branching classes, par of the MMORPG course; you can expect each branch to be played differently than the other.
• The Paralyzer: Almost all of the classes have at least one attack that stuns the enemy. Aisha's Binding Circle, High Mage's Blizzard Shower and Grand Archer's Freezing Arrow are better, literally stopping the enemy dead for a few seconds.
  • Laby can inflict a "Groggy" state when using her special awakening mode or certain skills.
• Plot-Relevant Age-Up: Everyone, but most apparent with Elsword, Raven and Add. Less so, but still apparent with Aisha, Chung, Ara and Elesis. It's hard to tell with Rena and Eve due to them being an immortal elf and a Nasod respectively.
  • In particular, there is always a two years gap before the base and the first job, and a one year gap between the first and the second. Yet the change can be seen as drastic at times.
  • She's All Grown Up: All characters get really handsome/beautiful as their second jobs.
• Recovery Attack: All characters have one or two after getting knocked down.
• Reduced Mana Cost: Certain traits change the MP cost of their associated skills, and certain Final Enhanced effects reduce cost:
  • The Light trait reduces cost to 80%
  • As mentioned above, the Reversed trait significantly reduces MP cost in exchange for increasing cooldown time.
  • The Regenerating (1) trait gives a chance to refund some of the mana cost.
  • The Critical trait inverts this, increasing MP costs while ignoring defenses.
  • The Regenerating trait works situationally, increasing the MP gained by the skill.
    • Elsword's Way of the Sword system reduces the cost of skills associated with whichever stance he is currently in.
    • High Magician has a passive that reduces the cost of fireballs.
    • Inversion: If Aisha uses teleport consecutively, its MP cost increases exponentially.
    • Veteran Commander has a variant: His Overheat system will not burn HP once it goes below a certain threshold.
    • Deadly Chaser's Intense Showtime, see it's entry in Cooldown Manipulation above.
    • Certain Ara skills will cost less spirit orbs if they're used to cancel another skill.
    • Little Hsien and Specter have passives that let her gain MP when she gains spirit beads when it's already full/burns spirit beads respectively. In effect, this decreases the MP consumption of her skills as Hsien's skills tend to let her gain spirit beads when used and when canceled, while Specter's skills tend to cost the beads.
    • Elesis' Chivalry system, like Elsword's, reduces the cost of skills associated with her current stance.
    • Mastermind's Drone Activator passive reduces the cost of his Dynamo Configuration skills if they successfully hit a target.
    • Diabolic Esper's Mind Control passive allows him to recover DP/MP when he uses skills, effectively reducing the cost. His Mind Circle passive also refunds him DP/MP if he uses Mutation points.
    • Royal Guard's Soul Extinction takes a soul from each enemy hit (for his Soul Collector passive); if his soul collection is already full, he'll recover MP instead.
    • Demonio's Awakened Will passive reduces MP cost if their Combination gauge is less than 5. This also affects the skills they gain in their transformed modes, Altar of Evil and Transcendence, as they both empty out the CP gauge.
    • Freyja: Key of Proof increases damage and reduces cost of skills used in midair.
    • Optimus: G-Mastery decreases all skill costs for 15 seconds when the G-Core buff hits max stacks.
    • Ain's Cycle Magic: See entry in Cooldown Manipulation above.
    • Rumble Pumn's Just A Club passive reduces cost of command-triggered skills.
• Short Range Guy, Long Range Guy: All of the characters can choose to be either one of those, even the girls as well.
• Smart Bomb: Most of the Hyper Actives act as this, delivering massive damage on a wide radius. Except for Code Empress' own, which instead summons a personal assistant which will follow her and guard her against enemies, as well as Mastermind's.
• Solo Class: While all characters can be played solo with enough skill, some characters have it easier than others. Grand Archer, Code Battle Seraph, and Optimus, to name a few.
• Status Buff: Aisha, Rena, Eve, Lu/Ciel, and Ain can temporarily buff nearby teammates. Rose on the other hand, can only buff herself.
• Super Mode: Aside from character-specific ones (and Add, see his folder), there's the Awakening Mode which buffs their attack as well as changing the properties of certain skills. Raven, Eve, Chung and Ara will also have additional bonuses when they use Awakening Mode with three beads.
  • Battle Aura: The Awakening Mode will give the characters this. When Raven activates it at its max power, it can even hurt enemies. Ara during Eun Mode lacks it, however.
• Support Party Member:
  • Aisha, Eve, and Lu/Ciel have specialized party buffs available for them. Elemental Master and Code: Nemesis can delve in this further, with their passives allowing their buffs to be more efficient.
  • Perhaps the best support character in the game goes to Ain's Lofty: Anpassen path; his Rein version of Blatt Blume is the best healing spell in the game and a transcended Erbluhen Emotion has Vertrauen Melodie, which buffs the party's magic attack and gives damage reduction.
• Theme Naming: The characters' first jobs always have a common word spread between them, ex. Combat Ranger, Sniping Ranger, Trapping Ranger. Eve's goes further to her second jobs as well.
• Three-Strike Combo: Many of the combos are actually four strike, but a few of them are three.
• Token Mini-Moe: Among the cast of characters, Lu is the shortest character, and has a cute childlike appearance. Emphasis on childlike, as she's actually a demon queen on a quest to regain her royal authority and power.
• Took a Level in Badass: As characters grow into their class advancements, and their development varies between the paths as well, with the class art suggesting passage of time to achieve their advancements.
• True Companions: While each members of the gang (excluding the Hero of Another Story above) may have their own goals from the start, over time they've grown attached to each other and they consider protecting each other as their priority (made clearer in the supplementary comics).
• Victory Pose: Everyone gets several poses, influenced their job path, on top of a Victory Quote.
• Weapon Twirling: Some of their intro or victory poses (and a few of their attacks) have them twirl their weapons.
  • Gun Twirling: So does Chung, especially as Deadly Chaser.
