Greetings, this is Shadow Arena.

There is currently an issue where changing the in-game language after launching the client from the Steam platform and re-launching the client causes the client to be unable to download patches normally.

If you encounter this issue, you can download the patch normally once the game language is changed properly by re-launching the client.

We apologize for the inconvenience and will do our best to resolve this issue.

We will update you through this notice once the issue has been resolved.

Thank you.

One of the seven beloved disciples of Enslar,

Vella was the youngest and sole successor of the group.

Known as young Enslar since she was a child

she was later affectionately christened “Venslar.”


She dealt with the aftermath of the Kzarka summoning incident, reinstated the Order of Valkyrie Knights, and restored faith by purging Kzarka infiltrators within the Elionian Church.

| Difficulty

| Combat Style

Venslar is a strategically maneuverable character that can shift between Courage Stance (Offensive) and Patient Stance (Defensive) according to the situation at hand. In the Courage Stance, Venslar will deliver damaging blows at close range while the Patient Stance can open up a powerful set of skills such as long-range attacks, healing, and summoning barriers to keep her opponents at bay. As the attack speed is relatively slow, predicting her attacks is vital in effectively bringing her down.
