MU S4 Zone Preview: Illusion Temple

Welcome back to our ongoing preview of MU Season 4! Today we'd like to highlight one of the new event zones that will be coming, the Illusion Temple. We're really excited about this particular zone, and we'd like to give you a quick peek of what to expect from it.

Illusion Temple is a PVP event zone for a maximum 10 players and minimum 4 players, accessible by talking to Mirage the Mummy in Elveland.



You will however require an invitation to enter, which is obtained by combining certain items at the Chaos Goblin Machine. The zone has five separate levels:

Temple
Level
1
220 - 270
2
271 - 320
3
321 - 350
4
351 - 380
5
381 - 400
6
400 (3rd job class)

Once the event starts, players who are in are assigned to a random team and get a team uniform.

Red Team Skin



Blue Team Skin



Here's a look at the layout of the zone. You can see the team's two starting positions on the westernmost and easternmost sides of the map.



For each opposing player killed, the killing team gets five skill points which can be spent to temporarily improve their character during the event. On top of killing other players, there are 2 statues located in the event map, each holding an event ball.



Each team's base also comes equipped with a pedestal, where players can bring back the event balls for points. Once a ball is taken from a statue, both statues disappear. They reappear again once a team returns the ball to their respective base.



The first team which is able to return the ball seven times first wins. So not only is it important to kill the opposing team as much as possible, but to also gather as many event balls as possible while preventing the opposing team from doing the same! The ball carrier will move in slow motion, so it's important for his or her teammates to work together to protect the ball carrier from the opposing team. Once a ball carrier is killed, DC's or leaves the event; the ball will fall to the ground and is able to be picked up by any player on either team.

And what's the prize for all this you ask? You'll just have to try it out yourself to find out! See you on the battlefield!
