Elsword is hosting a Hyper Punch Master Event until October 8, 2024, an upgraded version of their regular Punch Master Event. Instead of the 1.5 million Combat Power and 3 million Combat Power growth support, the new Hyper Punch Master helps all players under 9 million CP to be prepared for the next upcoming dungeon. The Event provides the full latest armor set: Tenebrous Armor Set at +10 Enhancement level and +15 Reforge Stage for all pieces. Players will be able to customize each armor piece to give different stats that will assist them in their gameplay. Players can also pick up the Sacred Knight Ice Burner Costume and various titles to help boost their combat power for 60 days. The event also provides a 20% Adaptation stat, which allows players to adapt to the harsh environment and have increased damage and survivability. In addition to the event, Elsword is also providing a +11 Vestige of Soul, one of the strongest weapons in the game, until October 8 just for staying logged in for 60 minutes. The Vestige of Soul weapon normally is given to players a +9 Enhancement when they first receive it, but will come at +11 Enhancement, providing bonus effects to powerup even the newest of adventurers. The event will include Magic and Mystic Stones already added and will provide players a medal to improve their Weapon’s Growth much faster, bringing even the newest of players up to the level of current players. These events not only benefit new players but also old and returning players. There are more events where players can help those participating in the Hyper Punch Master Event. Veteran players can run content together with these players to receive various consumables essential to raids and endgame content. 8/14/2024 Patch Preview Video Hyper Punch Master Event Vestige of Soul Weapon Event To learn more about Elsword please visit and keep watching the official Facebook page here .
