It’s the holiday season, and the team at Gameforge has some exciting presents for NosTale players to look forward to! On December 14, 2022, four new class specialists will be joining the fray along with a thrilling Winter Raid against Maru the Millennial Tiger! Additionally, players can look forward to Daily Quests, Event Quests, a Magic Sleigh with Red-nosed Reindeer, and an appearance from a certain rotund gentleman dressed in red who might just have some special gifts for NosTalians!
In NosTale, specialist cards allow players to take on unique roles which look and play differently. Any card in your Card Carrier can be equipped to change up who you are and what you can do. As part of the new class specialists update, players will be able to shoot a cannon as the Archer, perform psychokinesis as the Mage, hop into a special suit to strike as the Martial Artist, and pierce opponents as the Swordsman.
New Specialist Cards:
- The Swordsman — Dragon Knight: The Dragon Knight’s attacks grant you the ‘Polished Lance’ buff. The more you collect, the stronger your buffs and skills will become — keep up the pressure and you will be rewarded!
- The Archer — Blaster: Is it getting hot in here? Build up the Heating Gauge by using skills and gain strong bonus effects!
- The Mage — Gravity: Master the fundamental forces of the universe with the power of Gravitation and Anti-Gravitation! Be warned, however: if one goes up, the other goes down. Get things just right (an even split) and you receive unique powerful buffs to your skills.
- The Martial Artist — Hydraulic Fist: Charge up this specialist’s robot arms with magic fuel, granting all skills unique effects.
