Demon Avenger Changes & Christmas!


Maple Christmas
A new patch has been released in Tespia, although it doesn’t include the things we really wanna see (Xenon, the new bosses/area?). In addition, Christmas events have begun in the real server, so I’ll be covering those too~ They also uploaded the trailer video for Demon Avenger, so you can watch that too.


The trailer for Demon Avenger, it’s sort of boring… it just talks about how he’s different from Demon Slayer, haha.

All tooltips have been updated to match the new equipment tooltips! And not just items, anything that appears on a hover.
