‘Woohoo, it is finally time: Laby gets to explore the world! It’s going to be great! -^.^- Laby has known this forest forever and ever! It is time for some new fun! What do you think, Nisha? Huh, scared? What do you mean? What's that? Well, let’s keep moving for now!’ And so begins the journey of chirpy young Laby, who feels no negative emotion. These feelings are absorbed by her friend, Nisha, a magical mirror. On their adventures they will face up against numerous monsters. Laby will learn to fight, to use magic and will find out that the world is not as happy and well-meaning as she had imagined it. As Sparkly Child, Rumble Pumn and Eternity Winner she progresses through her first class change path in her very own quest sequence inclusive of 11 new dungeons.
BAM, BAM, BAM!
Laby kicks and punches through her enemies with blazing speed! She also learns to make more and more use of Nisha the mirror’s magic. As soon as her Power Boost is charged, she will automatically make use of her hidden power. In doing so, Laby charges her special resource, sensitivity points, and then inflicts the ‘Groggy’ status on her foes. The more of them she has, the stronger her attacks and also her range; her chance of double attacks also increases.
Laby's Adventure
During her journey, the awoken girl travels through 3 regions with a total of 11 dungeons that only she (or other Laby characters) can fight through. Her path leads her initially out of her forest home in single player mode, till she eventually reaches the East Harbour. There she boards the Larinesse until she reaches the ‘Eye of the Storm’ and then must face the giant octopus with up to 4 players. In further regions she discovers the bamboo forest path and enters breathtaking palaces till she finally explores the sinister region.

New Character: Laby
Story
Full of joy, Laby and her loyal companion Nisha, a mirror, head out into the big wide world. Till now, Laby had lived in a forest for hundreds of years – no wonder that she pesters everyone she meets with questions and gives everyday items strange names. She does not know sadness or fear, as Nisha absorbs all negative emotions in protection of the gentle Laby. But, psst, the little girl doesn’t know this yet...
Skills
Precise punches and kicks: Laby knows self-defence like the back of her hand. This is because despite her happy appearance, a lot of evil beings seem to have it in for her. Nisha also helps out and protects the girl with her mirror magic. This way Laby is armed both for close and long ranged combat!
Sensitivity Points
A unique aspect of Laby's combat style, aside from the mirror, are the sensitivity points: the more of them she has, the stronger her attacks and also her range, the chance of double attacks also increases. As soon as her Power Boost is fully charged, she will automatically make use of this hidden power.
11 New Dungeons
During her journey, the awoken girl travels through 3 regions with a total of 11 dungeons that only she (or other Laby characters) can fight through. Ready for a new journey? The Elsword Team
