[Elsword] Rune Slayer 1v1 Arena (86 AP)

Skip to 1:43 for matches only
Happy new year everyone!
A lot of people have been asking about my IS's class change, so I rushed out this video to announce and explain it publicly. I made the decision to switch to RS while I was making a revamped IS video back in November. Even after recording dozens of matches, I just couldn't get any footage I was satisfied with. The skill tree revamp had dumbed down IS to the point where it was impossible to be both flashy and effective at the same time. Here's why:
1. Can infinite combo without X drops (spam actives while Kick is on cooldown)
2. Builds and uses destruction easily-- Vitality, not so much
3. Compact Counter no longer launches
4. Lame special actives (this was a problem even before STR)
Apologies to my IS fans and subscribers, I hope you all can understand.

[@Plasmakirby692]

Please note that Rebelliel is nothing more than my character's name. The original Rebelliel had no impact on my decision to change to RS. I find his videos enjoyable and acknowledge that he is a good player, but I never intended to imitate his playstyle. If that were the case, I would've made this character an RS from the start, instead of creating him during ShK release and staying loyal to IS until STR

[@user-no8un7uj4z]

Ok. Kirby. this is bast play! now use the wind blade :D

[@Plasmakirby692]

>>X is definitely no replacement for old compact counter. The main problem is that CC can be chained after a standing Z, while >>X cannot. Also, CC activates very quickly, but >>X is very prone to tumbling due to the slow startup time. Launch height is another problem; >>X cannot be used in the bottom corners of Wally's Castle Centre, for example.

[@Plasmakirby692]

The song at 3:20 is the Egg Dragoon Theme from Sonic Generations. As a general rule, be sure to check the link in my [Elsword] Arena BGM video, as I update it regularly to include tracks from my newest arena videos.

[@ChrisTM]

Woot! Perfect way of starting off the new year by changing to my favorite class in elsword! Rune slayer fo life!

[@shockazulo]

Damn you Kirby blades the intro song made me remember something in persona 3 and had me bursting out in tears

[@ANIMEHUNTER336]

[@Dantemjn]

why did it show to my recommendation dam nostalgia days

[@exramhossain2505]

That was epic and GM for everyone but the way u handled everyone was beast

[@bubblepower3903]

Almost as good as the original. Nice vid can't wait to see you more in tourney. Seeing other ENs fight is painful. I almost like seeing you play Elsword more than Raven.

[@J31ghost]

Kirby's videos help me :D Especially this one helped me learn RS :D My only problem was I need more skills like fire or ice rune

[@geezas2804]

That fight of EM vs RS is exactly how i imagined Elsword against Aisha.

[@KyoSaito_00]

It's rare to see people on youtube who actually use P4 Bgm especially i'll face my self the reincarnate album. I like it :D

[@habazsolt9715]

[@theskyman20]

The background music in the desert is from Maplestory. Maplestory came out 10 years ago.

[@RankoKanzakiGaming]

Nice video but i agree on your reason..... that's why i stick to RS until IS Release in PH

[@giicherz5755]

Well, I was a fan of you're IS... But I do understand, CC doesn't launch anymore, Which is exactly why I went to LK. Plus his actives have always been a problem. RS is a great choice! :D

[@JJShin-jw4pb]

Wait till the Rebelliel gets a load of this, this is awesome gameplay Kirby :P I wanna see a match between you and Willb :P Also Are you planning on making an SD Or playing another Chung class? Great gameplay love it

[@izanagiii7895]

Kirby vs ElinaOven best fight to ever happen

[@Boriratrit]

[@deardra1995]

Kirby Blader Lol, how many keyboards did you break and have to replace? XD, I know you probably type a sentence per second, I can hear you tapping the keyboards all the way here^^. Nice typing skills

[@LolJeremyXD]

YEEEEEEEEEE

[@fanityna6537]

AMG I THOUGHT U DIED O-O :D

[@garrachan1]

FanityNA this is gunxgun speaking

[@DreamyxFox]

i like how i found virtually no BGM identification besides the song played at 0:53. It's a shame too because i really liked the song played at 3:20.

[@joaovictorf.santos4975]

Still flash as always, that's why I subscribe to your channel. Keep the good work with wharever Job or character you want. But can I ask you if you have any plans to do a VC video? I wold like to seen your gameplay with him.

[@coolfreeze225]

This guy will strike fear into any elsword player xD.

[@FlowYami]

Wow. o: Them skills!! Love how you ended the video with the defeat of the EM xD

[@marethyux3744]

I think he's better with IS. He made excellent combos at the beginning and I know the EM gave him trouble but thats no reason to spam luna to catch. And why use luna on the CBS twice? She didnt need that more than once. It's kind of an unfair playstyle.

[@FlowYami]

Matt Albanese o.o You do make a valid point.. Ugh. I fought a RS a few days ago and he caught me in a loop and everytime I got close to being able to mana break.. He would use luna blade and boom.. Stuck in it till I am dead. -.-

[@marethyux3744]

I chose storm blade purposely so I wouldnt be tempted to bring luna blade and start spamming. If I hadn't, I probably would have. Now I can actually focus on comboing (no not looping actives 24/7 either)

[@StillGamingMaybeLatr]

Matt Albanese ...Lets be honest. It's not like that EM wasn't using every possible trick in the book (Tele note, meditate, etc.) She was being annoying too. A few Luna Blades is what she deserves. Who cares if it's an unfair catch, when Aisha's balls in general are excellent catches as well. Yeah Luna Blade is a special active, but that just means it costs more mana. Fair is fair dude. Personally I preferred his IS to RS too, but that's pre crappy Compact Counter. Now Rune Slayer is more flashy, fun, and takes more skill, making these videos entertaining, Luna Blade or not.

[@StillGamingMaybeLatr]

Matt Albanese And don't think you're so noble not taking Luna Blade... in the end it's a skill in a game, no ones gonna actually care if you take it or not. It's a built in mechanic. Also I find it intriguing that you can combo with RS's... uhm, not combo orientated combo sets w-o actives. That's very interesting, I'm not sure what you can do with just x drops and runes.... But whateva-- your opinion, I'm just stating mine...

[@windyboo6453]

Holy shit Kirby, I didn't know you liked Persona

[@windyboo6453]

also LOL "Kirby ish dat u?"

[@KFlonic]

Wow awsome plater. But i think you get the road of sword(right?) guage too much. Is it before the patch that reduce guage gaining?

[@sheiweirulong]

What is ur bgm for Wally castle room?? I love it so much

[@MrCrimsonMaster]

that persona 4 theme though

[@musaconteh5060]

Hey Kirby your really good with RS, I would just like to know what sockets I should give my pvp equipment and my Ib costume? Like what stones do you use to give you all that crit and attack speed? Thank you. Please reply.

[@AznBreakerBoyz22]

I'm curious, I have my own lobby music, but it only works in spar waiting room. On the character login screen, default music plays. Can anyone clarify x.x

[@huthutpizzahut]

It's awesome..

[@iZexos]

Nice Gameplay kirbs. But why you do two times >>^xy before the crossunder? Cuz I'm doing it with just one >>^xy. We need some more good RS on the German server...

[@ballerBoyZCEO]

Btw how do you trim through your videos. If its a tool or a new youtube trim. Thanks Again.

[@Heroexd]

Sander has the same music as maplestory's Ariant oh cool

[@anies_only]

[@KaiserDaBard]

[@Jonhy2G]

[@menacism663]

[@AndY-wr4db]

OH MY GOD WE USE THE SAME ELEMENT :O

[@sarynos5850]

Do you mod musics in your Elsword game? If you do can i have a chance to mod the musics as same as your? Thank you :)

[@raventheblademaster1874]

Kirby, which would of these 4 would you say is better? Crescent Cut vs Sword Blasting Rage Cutter vs Maelstrom Rage I'm more of a PvE player but I tend to play PvP from time to time.

[@kawaiisuicidalpanda]

That Maple Ariant music for Sander

[@AraIevent]

......holy crap you're right 0_0

[@jonabeyt]

do you actually manage way of the sword? or just do your own thing and if it activates then its a bonus? I mean, do you use only destruction stuff until you get the vit aura and then only use vit stuff until it runs out? that "2 playstyles going back and forth" is what intimidates me about playing elsword =x

[@Plasmakirby692]

As an RS, you pretty much want to always go for vitality aura. Use as many destruction moves as you can to reach it ASAP, and once you get there it kinda depends on the situation. In 3v3 or PvE, it's a good idea to use up the vitality bar quickly and cycle through as many auras as you can. In some cases, you can fire fist, wind blade, or simply rune your way back into vit if you've just barely used up your previous vit bar. Of course, pulling this off requires very precise WotS management and is not worth doing if you've already gone too far into destruction. In 1v1, provided you aren't severely outgeared, you can usually kill the opponent with a single vit bar, so it's a better idea to use it efficiently rather than quickly. I personally think WotS is an ingenious system that wouldn't have worked on any other character. Some might find it bothersome, but I think it really fleshes out Elboy's gameplay. It's definitely not balanced, but it's a pretty great concept.

[@KamiOfBlaze]

I know what you mean, I got bored with IS pretty easily after the ST revamp, and I will forever miss my Counter Impact Q_Q

[@NeoDragonov]

Can I have the coliseum (7:10) and Elrios Bay themes ?

[@Aiyi2754]

one question when you class change does the sparring set change to that class that you have changed to?

[@raventheblademaster1874]

If you are asking if the sparring set changes with it, no it doesn't. And this comment is probably pointless because you posted this a month ago.

[@jianwen414]

whats the music from begining to 20 sec

[@ruzeii4453]

Hey Kirby I was just wondering, in this video you use fire fist, but recently (for example recent PanAm tourney) use Sword Enchant. I'm planning on making an RS, so I just wanted some insight before I work on a skill build for my future RS

[@Plasmakirby692]

Sword Enchant is definitely the better skill for PvP. It's pretty useless in PvE though

[@ruzeii4453]

Alright thanks man, appriciate it. Also, for X drops and stuff i heard the elemental runes reset the launch counter is this true? Because it says nothing of this on the elwiki, and since now im going for fire fist I don't know how to reset the launch counter except with ZZZX against a wall, and thats pretty situational.

[@ruzeii4453]

*Sword enchant oops

[@JavierHEC]

What if... We don't have a pc running at 90fps? How to reenact those comboes doe D:

[@xlGl4diator]

Hey Kirby how long do you play Elsword?

[@PakuTheMagnificent]

Will anything ever be done with KirbyTaker?

[@fandyardyanto4432]

Great, and same as weiyan..

[@USLJTMamaradloPUPT]

Revamped LK 1v1 arena video please.

[@CometCrusaderB]

Awesome! If only that BM didn't lag though.

[@vaquishers]

qq kirby, i know there have been lots of stuff going around saying IS is weak. But i wanna hear your opinion! I aim to prove that IS isnt the type to spam 1 active to be good. That he can be just as powerful as the rest of the elboys without any buff skills or debuffs. In short i want to be the greatest IS known! I admire how skilled you are so itll mean alot to hear your opinion on him. After all...for someone to strengthen his own darknesd for his friends....he cant be all bad right?

[@user-ty1vq6wl1t]

What music in first arena? please answer with the name of music....

[@bezi562]

Fairy Tail - invoke magic

[@lunafebruary2580]
