http://zhuxian.wanmei.com/resources/...3063151033.jpg

Date of Release: May 28th - 5th Anniversary of ZhuXian (possibly extented to June)

Update 1: General skill info of new factions:

Celan:

~AoE
~Strong Regional Buff and Debuff* (when buffing or debuffing, the character will not be able to move)
~Brand new skill system
There will be 5 notes, Dfferent combination of different notes have different effects. For example combination 12345 can be a skill, combination 12342 can be another.

One of Harp's Debuff and Buff:
- Regional potion debuff, ability to decrease effectiveness of potions of enemies in a targetted area. (Guess: Pots CD) .
- Aoe Res.

*Reginal Spells: unlimited spell duration as long as caster stands still. Moving or using another skill cancels effect.

Rayan:

~"Shadow Assassin"
~ Ability to use their own shadows to attack
~ Ability to cloak (cannot be locked on, but still affected by aoe atks)

Shadow/Trueform explanation:
- Scythe will be able to command their shadows to attack with them. Shadows will have different types of curses/ effects. Scythe (true form) will be able to switch position with their shadow to escape lock ons.

Also "bad news"
you will not be able to ascend into any of the new factions when them come out right away.
you will have to wait til the server reaches, for example 100 lv 150 harp/scythe to ascend into em from other athan factions.
