On May 28th, 'Blade & Soul Revolution' (hereafter B&S Revolution) became the first mobile game to implement an 'Unreal Engine 5' upgrade, introducing the new ' 환술사 ' class and the new '유일무이' server. Simultaneously, a large-scale update celebration event was held, capturing the attention of players. KookminTree visited the 유일무이 server to examine the update content and compile the event rewards.

Start with 'Hyper Jumping' at Hongmun Level 70 and a Full Gear Set

Upon logging into the 유일무이 server, the first thing you'll notice is the special character creation screen. What's slightly different from before is the 'Hyper Jumping Event' you can activate upon creation. Confirming here allows you to start at Hongmun Level 70 immediately after character creation. This level is high enough to skip the tedious early growth stages and jump straight into the main content.

Hyper Jumping doesn't just increase your level. It applies the 'Power Growth Support Project' for 'New & Returning' players, offering 'Blessing of Growth' with various rewards based on cumulative login days and additional experience points. Furthermore,'Update Commemorative Special Page'where you can also sort out your gear setup. This is thanks to the '+10 Shining Myeongcheon Equipment Full Set Box' obtainable by applying for and registering a coupon. By further enhancing this gear to boost your combat power, you'll be ready to challenge the latest content.Additionally, '100% Ancient Enhancement Success Coupons' and repair coupons are provided, allowing for enhancement attempts at higher stages.

For reference, when creating a character with Hyper Jumping, you'll start with the 'Guardian Spirit & Guardian Deity,' which greatly aids in early progression, already equipped. Based on this, by completing the 'Equipment Boosting Season 1' event and 'Jumping Challenge Guide Missions,' you can naturally enjoy B&S Revolution's content. Simultaneously, various in-game currencies needed for character growth are provided, ensuring you don't miss out on the fun of progression. For new players needing tips on these missions, refer to the '유일무이 Server Start Guide' link below.

Recommended Classes for Beginners: '환술사 & 비도술사'

Now that we've covered the detailed benefits of the new server, it's time to decide on a class. Before we make recommendations, there's something important to note. To commemorate the release of 환술사, a 'Free Class Change' benefit is being offered once per account. You can purchase this item from the 'Shop - Event Coin Shop - Free Class Change Ticket' tab. Class changes are then made in the 'Shop - Class Change Ticket' tab.

The reason we mention this first is that you don't necessarily have to stick with your initial class choice. B&S Revolution currently offers 25 classes, each with its own distinct appeal. You can pick a class you like initially, and if another class sparks your interest through content, you can switch using the free class change option. Alternatively, you could start with a popular class and later switch to one you prefer.

Our recommendation from KookminTree is the new class '환술사' and the popular ranker class '비도술사'. While the former's performance is yet to be fully proven, B&S Revolution generally makes active balance adjustments to new classes. Cases where initial clunky controls or underperformance are improved based on user feedback are common. 비도술사 has consistently been a popular choice among rankers for a considerable period, meaning its performance is well-established. Therefore, we recommend these two classes, though you're free to choose from the remaining 23.

However, if you're a player returning to B&S Revolution thanks to this update, we strongly suggest 환술사. Characterized by its ranged skills utilizing the 환술봉 and 환영, it can disrupt opponents' skill rotations with a unique status effect called '혼절'. With abilities distinct from existing classes and the unique charm of the Lyn race, you'll experience a novel kind of fun not found in B&S Revolution before.

High-Quality Graphics andOptimized for Large-Scale Battlefields'Unreal Engine 5' Upgrade

Finally, there's another key update that allows you to more fully experience B&S Revolution's signature progression and content appeal: the first-ever Unreal Engine 5 upgrade for a mobile game. Not only is the graphics quality significantly improved compared to before, but optimization work has also been done to enhance client stability. Returning players will likely notice a significant reduction in loading times upon first login and when moving between maps.

This engine upgrade truly shines in B&S Revolution's core content, such as faction wars, bloodwind zones, and monster subjugation battles – large-scale engagements. Even in complex battlefields where all participants on a server gather in one place, or in wider areas like cross-server faction wars, you can enjoy a smooth, uninterrupted gaming experience.

The PC client's graphics quality options also include an 'Upscaler' function, enhanced by this engine upgrade. Depending on your setup, you can enable 'DLSS' or 'FSR' options to fine-tune settings based on performance or quality. For compatibility, you can select between 'DirectX 11' and 'DirectX 12', and with the 'Large-Scale Battle Optimization' below, you can experience a more stable content environment.
