“We’ve been honored to see such a positive response to Crusaders of Light so far and are excited to bring the world of Milura to even more PC players with our launch on Steam,” said Stan Wang, Product Manager of Crusaders of Light. “With today’s update and a strong roadmap of content updates ahead, we’ll continue to bring MMORPG players on PC and mobile devices the immersive, engaging experiences they enjoy.”

“Surge of Elements” Update

Crusaders of Light’s latest update introduces the Elementalist class, spirit mages who control the magic of the elements and wield masterful control over wind, earth, water and fire to deal damage and protect allies at all costs. Like the game’s other classes of Ranger, Warrior, Mystic and Paladin, Elementalists have three different paths they can follow in their journey - Pyromancer, Cryomancer, and Conjurer - each with its own skills and advantages for the job at hand.

The update also introduces a new 10-person team raid - Wind Bluff Prison - offering players increased difficulty, a new dungeon to explore and the opportunity to bring down two new terrifying bosses. Players who have reached level 55 with a talent level 65 can participate for new loot and exclusive achievements, like titles for the first players to defeat the dungeon on each server. Along with the new class and team raid the “Surge of Elements” update will include new item sets: Molten Flames that can dole out deadly fireballs and Cleansing Chains that can shield allies.
