NC America officially announced today the Dread Blade Update for its long-standing MMORPG AION is available now on NC’s PURPLE platform. Featuring the lethal Dread Blade class, four new dungeons to conquer, multiple quality of life upgrades, gifts, coupons, and more, the Dread Blade Update, on Classic and Ascend servers, offers a plentiful variety of gameplay for MMORPG fans, for free.

The Dread Blade class represents AION’s first true hybrid class, enabling players to wield both magic and weaponry, mastering the Dread Blade sword itself with four major attacks to annihilate any type of foe.

The Dread Blade can inflict status effects on enemies using physical attacks, remove their own debuffs, and restore status through magical abilities. It can deal damage to multiple enemies and inflict status effects with a wide range of AoE skills, helping to secure control of the battlefield. It also possesses a skill that quickly moves to low-health targets to eliminate them instantly, making it highly effective at handling priority targets in group combat.

Offering four new dungeons (Tiamat’s Mind, Immortal Trial, Infinite Cube, and Boundary of Light and Darkness), two enhancement revamps (downgrades removed and fail-safe enchant), and update specials the Dread Blade Starter Coupon and the Dread Blade Update Gift) between Tuesday, April 28 and Tuesday, May 26, this substantial update will thrill long-standing AION fans for weeks to come.
