Nexon announced that Arcana: Faith and Fury is now live in Mabinogi. The new summer content update introduces two new Arcana talents to the game. There's also skill rebalance updates along with limited-time summer events.
One of the talents is Sacred Guardian. What it does is merge the talents of Holy Arts and Warrior and turn it to a defensive role. It shields allies and at the same time redirects damage using skills like Pledge of Penance, Provoke, and Martyr’s Consecration. Then there's Explosive Vanguard, a fusion of the Gunslinger and Lance talents. It brings with it a barrage of firepower with skills such as Relentless Thrust, Blast Zone, and Blaze of Glory. This talent leverages Mana Shells and Mana Pressure to deliver massive damage across multiple targets.
Both Arcana paths feature Arcana Link Effects that scale across ten levels and offer stat enhancements and progression-based benefits for the talent. That's not all since the update also expands Arcana progression with new Arcana Links for these two talents. In particular, by increasing the Total Arcana Level cap to 250, it unlocks further stat bonuses and enhanced combat potential.
Players should be able to see rapid growth and progress towards these new Arcana talents with the recently added Arcana Achievement Questline. The goal is to guide and bolster new players into the world of Mabinogi.
Aside from these two new Arcanas, significant buffs and quality of life renovations have been made to the existing four Arcana talents.
Summer Festival
Nexon revealed that Mabinogi continues its Summer Festival with a bang. It starts with several fan-favorite events like Summer Master Plan for boosted character levelling, Black Combo Card to create a specific powerful combo card, and Free VIP Service subscription for all players.
A new event players can look forward to is the Flying High event which give new and existing players untold levels of items and power to help get one character up towards the endgame. Making this possible are the Codex of Ascendant Arcana, a Wizard Corgi and a Warrior Corgi, and a scroll to instantly max a Spirit Weapon, to name a few.
More Adventures
More summer adventures are arriving to the game this August. Together with the Windfall Mercenaries, in Chapter 8: Generation 27, players have to seek out the truth behind Vertrag, the Giant who seeks to supplant the Milletian in Erinn, and his connection to the mysterious Murias, one of the fabled cities of the gods. Upon clearing the new Generation, players should be able to dive deep into the new Bri Leith dungeon and start to work on a new echelon of power with the Soul Liberator weapons.
Mabinogi was first released to the North America region back in 2008. This immersive and free-to-play MMORPG invites players to a world where mystical adventures await. Mabinogi is available for the PC via Steam.
