TERA raises the bar, setting new standards in the gaming industry. It is a visually stunning world with graphic quality above all other games in the industry. You will experience a new ground-breaking gameplay system where stereotypes of traditional MMORPGs will be broken. You will have full control over the attacks and the fate of your enemy. No more "pointing and clicking" and playing combat relay with the enemies. Furthermore, not only do you control the action, TERA is also set in a world where the players will dictate the flow of the economy and individually impact the community environment.

In TERA, players master their destiny in a richly detailed game world with a pioneering dynamic combat system. Individual player actions can transform the balance of power in a world where old rivalries are erased, and disparate races must form a common federation to stave off destruction by marauding monsters and warring gods.

You become part of the realm of Arborea, created by the Ancient Gods. You defend your race in a fantasy world where your creators, descendents of the Ancient Gods, have warred upon each other centuries ago. Join forces and become part of a vast world in constant conflict, where new battles and weaponry skills will leave you grasping for more as you become immersed in the realm of Arborea. Take charge and become the hero the world seeks!

The brand-new Valkyrie is a powerful character steeped in ancient lore, who wields a deadly runeglaive and a bad attitude to go with it.

Valkyries are an ancient Castanic martial order who have returned from exile to help fight the Archdevan army. They originate in a culture that celebrates freedom and express that through a fluid combat style. Close-combat specialists with a dual-focus on crowd control and burst damage, a Valkyrie’s weapons, armor, and skill sets are designed to set up opponents for massive attacks. These attacks generate Runemarks, a new combat mechanic exclusive to the Valkyrie class, for them to exploit and explode. Combining fast movement with high damage, Valkyries will be a dominant factor in any battle.

TERA players can download and play the Honorbound update, featuring the Valkyrie, starting April 11.

And as part of her introduction, we’ve got some cool new events through the end of April planned to help us celebrate.

For starters, we’re sending you a free character slot to get things going. After maintenance on April 11 until April 30, log in to the server you want to make a valkyrie on and check your item claim. There will be a character slot item there for you to use. Don’t worry if you’re max out; with this update we’re raising the maximum number of characters per server to 17.

If you advance your first valkyrie to level 2 by April 30, you’ll receive a Valkyrie Rewards Box with some very useful items:

• a 15-day dragon pet (Argette) with the ability to auto-loot
• an everful nostrum to help you in combat
• a level 15 valkyrie reward box

That reward box is full of awesomeness, because when you open it at level 15, you get even more useful items, and a level 20 valkyrie reward box that works exactly the same way! Each box contains another valkyrie-specific or themed item, more cool consumables, mounts, and more, until you get to the grand jackpot at level 65:

• +12 Meathanger box (Masterwork Slaughter weapon)
• Valkyrie Plunder Glyph box × 3
• Blessed Enigmatic Scroll
• Intricate Identification scroll × 92
• Undercede token × 255
• Chooser of the Slain armor
• “Chooser of the Slain”—a valkyrie-specific title exclusive to this event

And for the hardest of hard-core levelers, we’ve got some titles only available for players who reach specific levels with their valkyries in the first 24 hours after the update.

• Battle Maiden (level 30)
• Grim Amazon (level 58)
• Dark Raven (level 60)
• Fate Weaver (level 65)
