  Here is the preview of part 2 of episode 8. It is due to launch on March 8th. Here we see Keaghan being attacked by lodrain or w.e his name is the head thingy. Nyle comes in to save teh day : D
  I'm guessing the succubus is in the middle and u needa get information out of her so you fight to win it from her. She's more of a median i guess, not on either side i guess.

  Kadan : What is the meaning of this!?
  
  Ludarec : The temple has condemned you as heretic
  
  [Gwen telling the player to stay still]
  
  Kadan : I don't understand what you're talking about.
  
  Ludarec : You always had let your curiosity get the best of you and ended up nosing in too deep.
  
  Kadan : Too deep? What do you mean by that? Fall back, all of you!
  
  Ludarec : You no longer hold the authority to give that order!
  
  Ludarec : And I, Ludarec, give this order. Ready your weapons!
  
  
  
  Ludarec : What.. identify yourself!

  Staff Evie's battle style is being restructured
  The action UI and controlls will be changed and thus Evie will no longer require quickslots to cast spells
  We're calling this the 'multi-staged charging system' for now
  With this new battle style Evie will be able to use a variety of spells in a single battle with the addition of Ice bolt and more.
  
  Her alchemy skills will also be tuned to be more powerfull and provide better utility and will have several additions like mana pistol.
  We're also preparing a unique survival mechanism for staff.
  We're aiming for this update to be finished before spring

  Introducing the newly revamped staff battle style. The above picture is one of staff Evie's many skills, Ice Spear.

  With this revamp there are four main changes in staff battle style.
  
  1. Magic Arrow turned into a basic attack
  
  2. Charge based casting system
  
  3. Alchemy box
  
  4. Mana Ember
  
  With these changes, several skills have been added or removed.
  
  
  1. Magic Arrow turned into a basic attack
  Vid
  

  [Video: http://heroes.nexon.com/movie/heroes_m[110227_evy_01].swf]

  
  Pressing the normal attack will now make your Evie cast Magic Arrow. It will still take a small amount of stamina but now counts towards 'kill with normal attack' objectives.
  
  
  2.Charge
  The biggest change of all would be the charge system. All spells except for Magic Arrow requires charging to be casted. You can charge by holding on to the smash key.
  
  Vid
  

  [Video: http://heroes.nexon.com/movie/heroes_m[110227_evy_02].swf]

  
  [pressing the smash key quickly right after reaching a higher stage charge will let you charge up even quicker]
  
  The speed of charging up differs between each 'stages'. You can choose the spell you want to use after charging with your direction keys.

  Mana mine : casted by pressing your down direction key during first charge stage.
  
  Vid
  

  [Video: http://heroes.nexon.com/movie/heroes_m[110227_evy_03].swf]

  
  This differs from the R9 Eagle Talon mine. Mana Mine has lesser damage and duration but can be made quicker.
  It has good stun rate compared to it's stamina cost. If you learned flying sparrow, you can use i immediately after planting a mine
  
  Healing Pearl : pressing the left direction key during first stage charge.
  
  Vid
  

  [Video: http://heroes.nexon.com/movie/heroes_m[110227_evy_04].swf]

  
  
  The healing skill for staff Evies have been changed to healing pearl. Casting this spell will create a [duh] pearl shaped healing pearl. Any party members close to a healing pearl will recover a good amount of health, but will not be able to use a healing pearl for 2 minutes.
  Healing skill and runes will be removed from the game.
  
  Second stage

  Vid
  

  [Video: http://heroes.nexon.com/movie/heroes_m[110227_evy_05].swf]

  
  
  The cooldown for Firebolt has been removed and it's range has been increased. Damage has been decreased in turn.
  
  Ice Blast : Cast by pressing the left direction key during stage 2 charge.
  
  Vid
  

  [Video: http://heroes.nexon.com/movie/heroes_m[110227_evy_06].swf]

  
  
  A frost AoE attack. Can freeze normal mobs, freeze chanve increased with skill level. Has a short cooldown.

  [Video: http://heroes.nexon.com/movie/heroes_m[110227_evy_07].swf]

  
  
  A straight line attack that does powerfull frost damage. This attack can even freeze bosses but freeze time will decrease each time a boss is frozen and eventually will become immune to the freeze.
  
  4rth stage charge
  

  [Image: http://file.heroes.nexon.com/_uploads/editor/2011/02/26/04(1).jpg]

  
  Blind Arrow : Cast by pressing down direction key during stage 4 charge
  
  Vid
  

  [Video: http://heroes.nexon.com/movie/heroes_m[110227_evy_08].swf]

  
  Casts multiple magic arrows. Damage and range has been reduced and has a cooldown.
  
  The empty spaces in the charge screen are spaces for future spell updates.
  3.Alchemy Box
  Alchemy items has been changed for easier usage. Since it's alchemy this change also includes Scythes.
  

  [Image: http://file.heroes.nexon.com/_uploads/editor/2011/02/26/al_01.jpg]

  
  
  When you press the quickslot key for Alchemy Box, another quickslot will apear
  

  [Image: http://file.heroes.nexon.com/_uploads/editor/2011/02/26/al_02.jpg]

  
  
  And you can pick the alchemy kit you wish to use or cancel by pressing esc
  
  -Changes in Alchemy-
  1.Mercury Binder
  Has been changed from side arm to a quickslot item that you plant on the ground. It can be planted quickly and you can take a larger quantity then was possible in the past.
  2.Mana Pistol
  New added lv 56 alchemy kit
  
  
  4.Mana Ember
  
  A new survival skill also has been added, Mana Ember

  By using the magic of your staff, you create a sturdy ergg around yourself. While in this state you can take in all sorts of attacks.
  Can be used by quickly pressing the evasion button twice. But it takes a large amount of stamina so use it wisely.
  
  

  [Image: http://file.heroes.nexon.com/_uploads/editor/2011/02/17/Succubus.jpg]

  
  
  This is how succubus will look in mabinogi heroes. we understand that this is not what many people have been expecting.
  we designed this to match the world of mabinogi heroes and tried our best to divert from the common expectations.
  
  succubus has several special abilities one of the being 'hast', which slows time around her while increasing her own speed
  
  
  along with this, episode 8 part 2 will reveal glas glahblean and staff evie revamp
  
  
  Succubus:
  [video=youtube;b6E_0Ez_BZU]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b6E_0Ez_BZU[/video]
  
  -Reinheit has said he heard this boss to be a solo only.... still not confirmed
  
  [video=youtube;NTjvXoUnz1k]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTjvXoUnz1k [/video]
  No Girl on Girl action has been confirmed D;
  
  Glas Glahbeanan:
  

  [Image: http://file.heroes.nexon.com/_uploads/editor/2011/02/28/heroes01.jpg]

  
  
  Glas Ghaibhleann has been designed based on the Mabinogi version but with a Heroes/Vindictus twist to it.
  Glas Ghaibhleann will be showing new battle mechanisms.
  
  1.Overpowering Players
  
  

  [Image: http://file.heroes.nexon.com/_uploads/editor/2011/02/28/heroes02.jpg]

  
  
  When this happens, the player under Glas's grip has to be rescued by other party members.
  
  

  [Image: http://file.heroes.nexon.com/_uploads/editor/2011/02/28/heroes03.jpg]

  
  
  There are special sidearms that can be obtained in this battle which can be used to free party members under Glas's grip.
  You can use your ordinary sidearms as well but it will be harder to do than using the special battle specific sidearm.
  
  2.Hamstring
  
  The special sidearms mentioned above can also be used to immobilize Glas by pinning his limbs to the floor or wall.

  Glas... Ah I'm getting a hard on haha. Kidding, but seriously I can't wait to see what Glas will look like in Heroes.
• Habskii wrote on 2011-02-26 23:28
  IKR?
  I'm just hoping they give the succubus more sex appeal, the whole sealed up emo shizzz is making me to disregard her sexyness at all
• vash2pid wrote on 2011-02-27 02:10
  Haha.
  Without somekind of translation I just thought Roirdan just hate Keaghan's guts so as our characters.
  He propably thought "God, another one of those impossible merc from Colhen that take out Formorians by himself.
  Dont we have one of those riding a dragon already." When we first meet him.
  
  I wish we have one of those boss we 2 phases or more, like after defeating succubus in human form, we fight him on her sexy demon form.
  Or we fight her off again in a different form.
  
  We get to strip her of her armor and use it for our own right?
• Habskii wrote on 2011-02-27 02:12
  LMAO @ first part
  Didn't quite get the second thing buh yes, but it's be more for evie and fiona i guess.
• Skye wrote on 2011-02-27 02:56
  I'm definitely going to have to get a new computer before this, because I won't be able to take the constant firebolt spam. I like that magic arrow will be the norm though, seems more realistic for a staff wielder. New skills look cool, and I'm definitely excited about that alchemy box. :D That erg looks kind of ridiculous, and I think I'm going to make fun of the people who use it for a while (in my head, of course). That succubus is looking pretty awesome.
  +rep for all this info. Thanks. :D

  Getting 30k AP on my Evie doesn't seem like a bad idea now ;;
• SaintLucifer wrote on 2011-02-27 04:16
  Hmm kinda curious what will happen with certain titles now, like use Heal Runes X times, since there will be no more heal runes for example.

  that's a good question, I have not heard mention of it being taken out, so the assumption is that it has not been removed.

  Key word is assumption :\

  That's...actually a good question. o.o''
• OuterRem wrote on 2011-02-27 06:40
  Was pretty sure they were referring to either the generic monster type from Mabinogi (seen here: http://wiki.mabinogiworld.com/index.php?title=Succubus) or highly unlikely but the actual NPC Kristell who was a succubus. I mean I hope she isn't that old, lol. Anyway, it's a maybe, it could be a completely unique Boss / NPC Monster that has no relation...
  
  But for them to do two things; A. Mention it at all as if it's important and B. Mention it at the same time as Glas Ghaibhleann, who was ALSO in Generation 1 of Mabinogi, tells me that it must have some relevance to Mabinogi and is probably a Boss. Dunno if it's going to have a personality and be considered a thinking being though, like in Mabinogi...
  
  I hope that sheds some kind of light on this, though I enjoy the lore of Mabinogi and Vindicus and how the two interact, I am woefully uninformed on Mabinogi itself.
