Your character has levelled and powered up. If only you could get payback on those stages that got you stomped. Enter stages regardless of level and clearance. For 24 hours, non-stop, wreak havoc like never before. Reset stages at will. Why stop when there’s no limit? Mark your play date and discover what makes Rakion’s newest patch “From Dusk ‘till Dawn”.

New Game Features

Character Preview

First-time players will now find it easier to pick what character they want to use through the Character Preview feature. The new preview window displays each of Rakion’s five playable characters, a brief description and strengths and weaknesses to help new players decide what character they’d be more comfortable playing and help more seasoned players decide on their playing styles.

Invite Button

Inviting friends to play in your room is now made more convenient with the Invitation button, which allows room masters to invite friends and anyone else in the channel the room is hosted on with just the click of a button. Invited players can choose to either accept or reject an invitation by clicking on the appropriate button on their invitation window. Because they were invited, players can also enter password-protected rooms without having to provide a password.

New Ex-Items

The Stage Reset item resets all stages you had previously cleared, allowing you to set new records, earn gold and experience points all over again. The Level Limit Disabler, on the other hand, clears any level limit in all stages. Both items can only be used once and will only affect the character you use to buy it with. The Level Limit Disabler lasts up to 24 hours upon purchase.

Bonus Feature

But the feature that would most probably make old and new players alike happy is the introduction of Discount Coupons for Gold and Cash transaction in the Rakion shop.

Players level 30 and below can expect a surprise in the form of a randomly generated coupon, which can be either Cash or Gold, in their inventory upon levelling up. Frequent shoppers also have a chance to receive a coupon, which they can use to purchase items from the Rakion shop.

Events, From Dusk till Dawn

Golem GM event

In Golem War mode, two teams of players go up against each other in a bid to defeat the other team’s Golem, found on either end of a game map. In the Golem GM event, the Golden Golem will be replaced by a Golem with the face of a Softnyx GM in random Event rounds during a match. The player who successfully defeats the Golem GM gets a randomly generated item. The lucky player also has a chance to receive a much-coveted piece of the collectible Elemental Armor Set, with the added bonus of seeing his name in a server-wide announcement.

Stage Game Level Delimiter event

Players can choose to participate in the Stage Game Level Delimiter event, where they can play any stage regardless of level for FREE, with each event lasting 24 hours from first log-in. Remaining hours can be checked through the time trackers, visible from channel windows and game rooms.

Chaos Reborn event

An advantage players love to look forward to in Death Match games is the Chaos mode, where their character changes appearance and becomes monstrously stronger after a certain number of kills. In the Chaos Reborn event, players randomly switch into Chaos mode during Death Solo and Death Team Play modes.

Just when you think it’s safe to take a rest from Rakion, we’ve got more goods coming your way! Expect to lose sleep from October 16-31 in Rakion’s From Dusk till Dawn and experience gaming without limits.

GET STARTED!

Rakion Rave Chaos Party: The Elemental Patch

The cold season is approaching but Rakion is just heating up.

Rakion isn't just a combat game; it involves very complex strategies which turn the tides of the battle. The tides of battle situation can be reversed every time depending on the strategy of both teams. The objective of victory on Rakion is not just annihilating the enemy or destroying specific target. To gain the final victory, the gamers need two or three phases, a great teamwork and know-how to grasp the situation to judge one's course to either go offensive or defensive. These unique game rules are easy but they also make gamers work out thoughtful strategies.

Now, change is fast approaching and new features and additions to the game system will significantly impact the way you play.

On October 1, mobiusgames and Softnyx rolls out The Chaos Party Event across Malaysia, Singapore and Philippines.

What to expect

Potions

The most important feature is the introduction of Potions. Rakion players now experience a significant change in the game system. For instance:

Health or Armor Potions – Potions allow the player to recover lost Health/Armor points. In maps where there are no health power-ups available, players with potions would end up lasting longer than others.

Chaos Potion – This grants the user 1 Chaos point allowing players to use their chaos power 1 or 2 kills ahead of the others.

Fear Potion – A potion that causes an AOE effect, preventing other players from ganging up on you.

Stimpack – This provides the player with more attack power however sacrifices Health to activate.

Cell Point – This supplies the player with cell points which allows the ability to summon their creatures faster than other players.

Scout – A skill that allows the player to view their opponents Heath, thus providing advantage in picking out the weaker players.

Collectible Armor Set

This patch is the first series of event patches that would allow players the chance to obtain Rare Elementals Armor. These limited Elementals Armor set enhance a player’s attack power and are only acquired by gaining “Party Points” in game.

Chaos Party Event

In Team Game Modes, Event rounds will randomly appear where players will be able to collect Party Points, which can be used to exchange for a piece of the Elemental Set. Event rounds will reward the winning team +5 Party Points, while the losing team gets +1 Party Point. Players must collect as much Party Points as they can in the fastest time, as only a limited number of players will be allowed to exchange their Party Points for a much coveted piece of the Elementals Set.

New Player Bonuses

Now is the best time to create a new character and experiment with a new build. Players powering up from level 1-30 get more gold at every power-up equivalent to 1,000 gold x the level they increase, allowing new Rakion players to purchase gear faster. This will be available, only, during the promo event period.

Purchase Promo

Users who top up their accounts with Rakion Cash will receive additional Gold and Party Points purchased within the promo period.

50 ePoints >1,300 Rakion Cash will get you 1,000 Gold and 10 Party Points

100 ePoints >3,000 Rakion Cash will get you 3,000 Gold and 30 Party Points

350 ePoints >12,000 Rakion Cash will get you 15,000 Gold and 150 Party Points

Without a doubt, this patch will change the fighting strategies of every individual player and team. So get started and rally up your clan mates. Reap those Party Points and experience what a true full-scale combat is about.
