Lineage M: Unleash the Thunder with the RISING STORM Update and Revamped Thunder God Class
Hello, I'm Park Han-ryang, an influencer.
If you're a returning player to the mobile MMORPG Lineage M, the massive summer update 'RISING STORM' will undoubtedly catch your eye. While the June update introduces powerful new content and class reboots, this time the impact is different. It's a total overhaul packed with benefits aimed at existing, returning, and new users alike.
Thunder God Class Reboot: The Return of Fast-Paced Spear Combat
The core of the update is the complete reboot of the 'Thunder God' class. Along with the introduction of a female character option, a speedy combat style using spears has been emphasized. New skills such as 'Thunder Flick,' 'Ragnarok,' and 'Thunder Bolt' are optimized for users who value speed and impact. In particular, the class change event running until 2:00 AM on July 2nd allows players to switch their existing characters to the 'Thunder God' class without spending any money, providing users with a genuine hands-on experience.
The original Thunder God was perceived as a somewhat ordinary melee class, but this reboot transforms it into a fast and agile lightning-fast spear class. I also switched my existing character to 'Thunder God' through the 8th-anniversary class change event and experienced the gameplay firsthand. The difference is truly remarkable. Major BJ broadcasts and community reviews after the update commonly mention: "The speed is different," and "It feels like the class finally has an identity."
In particular, the combination of the newly introduced skill 'Thunder Flick' and the renewed 'Huracan' and 'Ragnarok' creates a combat style that flows like a combo, giving the feeling of raising the combat tempo of Lineage M. The skill damage itself has been increased, but the ability to quickly pressure enemies and attack while moving is very satisfying. The tug-of-war dynamic with other classes in PvP has also been significantly improved.
Most welcome is the fact that the class change is essentially free for the 8th anniversary. Currently, until 2:00 AM on July 2nd, you can purchase the class change item for 800 Adena in the in-game store > event tab. This allows you to freely change your existing character to Thunder God and experience it yourself. The item can only be purchased once, but it's the perfect opportunity for users who are wondering, 'Is this class right for me?' Reactions from users who have already used the class change show comments like, 'Once you try it, it's hard to go back,' and 'It feels like there's finally a proper spear class.'
The Power of Lightning Reborn as a Storm!

If you haven't used the class change opportunity yet, I recommend experiencing 'Thunder God' firsthand this time. It's not just a few new skills that have been added; it's no exaggeration to say that the class itself has been completely reborn. If you like fast combat or gave up on the previous Thunder God's ambiguous position, this reboot will definitely be satisfying. The free change period is also running out, so it's best to experience it now while the benefits are still available.
Vision Skills Evolving to the Next Level!

Vision Skills can be additionally acquired as the character grows and are designed to complete combo battles through linkage with existing skills. For example, a continuous attack route where 'Thunder Flick' → 'Ragnarok' → 'Existing Lightning Series' skills naturally follow each other is a prime example. In addition, skill hit rate, bind probability, and damage increase through the breakthrough system, allowing 'Thunder God' to be at the forefront in both PvP and PvE. In particular, the key is that it has been reorganized into a class with skill linkage and combat initiative, moving away from the past where only the 'single hit burst damage' unique to the spear class was emphasized, so let's enjoy it.
The 'Rising Storm' update clearly showed the direction of Lineage M in both content and system aspects. It is a structural evolution that reduces the repetition of the past for users who have enjoyed the game for a long time, and a patch that presents a reason to try it now for returning users. Above all, now is the perfect time to experience the Thunder God reboot with free class change + TJ coupon + various rewards being provided together.
This 8th-anniversary episode is larger in volume and more diverse in content than ever before, and is full of content that existing users, returning users, and new users will be interested in. In particular, the full renewal of the Tower of Arrogance / Tower of Belief / Tower of Domination, three popular hunting grounds that many users had been waiting for, has been applied, and the combat environment and reward structure in the game have changed significantly.
The combat power of the monsters and bosses appearing in the three major hunting grounds has been increased, and the experience and reward efficiency have also increased accordingly. In particular, the Tower of Domination boss 'Grim Reaper' has had its appearance changed and a new combat pattern applied, providing a fresh sense of challenge even for existing users.
One of the most unique changes in this reboot is the introduction of the 'War Zone' system. The Tower of Domination is converted into a War Zone, a dedicated PvP area, for 1 hour every Friday from 23:00 to 24:00. PK counts are not applied here, and experience loss and item recovery costs are reduced by 50%. In other words, it is a structure that allows you to feel the fun of fierce competition while reducing the burden, and it is content that PvP users cannot miss. During play, the blood-red fog effect wraps around the battlefield, adding to the immersion. In addition, it is necessary to pay attention to the 'Grim Reaper Scramble' event, which will be held for 2 weeks. Until the regular maintenance on July 2, 2025, if you defeat Grim Reaper in the Tower of Domination, you can drop a 'Top/High Grade Domination Stone Box' with a 100% probability. In other words, it is a golden opportunity to obtain powerful equipment items.
One of the key features of this update is the 'Domination Stone System.' By defeating monsters or bosses in the Tower of Arrogance/Belief/Domination, you can obtain Domination Stone Boxes at a certain probability, and through this, you can obtain Rare ~ Legendary grade Domination Stones. Up to 3 Domination Stones can be equipped depending on the character's level, and if 3 of the same Domination Stones of Hero grade or higher are equipped, the 'Authority Effect' is also activated. In addition, Domination Stones can be steadily supplied through synthesis, disassembly, crafting, and dedicated quests, making it a growth route that can be aimed at by non-paying users. Furthermore, the 'Amulet System' has also evolved in this reboot. Through the amulet, you can use increased Domination Stone Box drop rate, search skills to detect the location of enemies, random teleport function within the tower, and PK count exclusion effect. The structure has been reorganized so that the efficiency of dungeon play varies greatly depending on the amulet you have.
From June 18th to July 2nd, 2025, the Orim's Trace Season 11 event will be held. By clearing the designated stages and collecting 'Orim's Tokens,' you can craft various reward items through them. Representative crafting lists include Transformation Card/Magic Doll Card Draw Pack, Skill Card, Blessed Scroll, Growth Support Box, Charging Stone, High-Grade Equipment Enhancement Materials, Honor Coin, and Crafting Coin. Low/no-paying users can also participate to secure sufficient growth resources. In addition, in commemoration of the Thunder God class reboot, buff statues have appeared in each region: HP/MP +100, Experience Gain +3%, Melee/Ranged/Magic Damage +1, PVE Damage Reduction +1. These are placed in 12 locations, including Giran Village, Escaroth, and the entrance to Arrogance, so anyone can easily receive them.
At 10:00 AM on June 21st, to commemorate the 8th anniversary of Lineage M, an '8th Anniversary Celebration Box' will be given to all users. The box components are an 8th Anniversary Cake (Ainhazard's Blessing 1500 + 30 million EXP), Celebration Fireworks (HP/MP +200, Damage Reduction +1), 8 Draw Packs and Coin Selection Boxes each, and 8 Rescue Certificates. For one day only, it's a loss not to log in and receive it. On the same day, a 'Happy Birthday Fairy Transformation Scroll' will be sold as an event in the store. It can be used for 8 hours, and it is a unique transformation that increases combat power and hunting speed at the same time, such as Movement Speed +18%, Attack Speed +185%, STR, INT, DEX +2 / Casting Speed +20%, Stun/Fear Resistance +10%, PVP Damage Reduction +3, and Damage Reduction Ignore +3.
As a special dungeon content held until June 25th, 2025, the 'King's Hunting Grounds,' which can be entered for 1 hour every day, will be opened. The level limit is 60 or higher, and 10,000 Adena is consumed upon entry. With 'King's Hunting Coins' obtained through hunting, you can craft high-end items such as Snapper Ring, Roomtis Earring, Blessed Holy Water (Large), and Guardian Stone. In addition, during the same period, the 'BOOST!' event will be held in the Wind Dragon Sanctuary special dungeon, with a 1.5x increase in experience and drop rate. Anyone over level 60 can enter, and Dragon Holy Water will be given as a quest reward. The 'Storm Hood (Event)' that can be obtained through the Wind Dragon Sanctuary event can be registered in the collection to gain Damage Reduction +2% and Damage Reduction +1.
On June 18, 2025, 7 types of TJ's COUPON were released along with the RISING STORM update. This season is an all-time TJ coupon lineup that covers not only general equipment recovery, but also runes, store equipment, magic dolls, transformations, and skills, providing a great opportunity for returning and existing users alike. Be sure to check the weekly attendance check rewards as shown in the image above to obtain all coupons.
In addition, various updates have been made, such as improving the world special content queue, improving the schedule system, expanding item collection acquisition information, setting the Ainhazard's Blessing automatic charging standard, new buff cards, and improving transformation card options.
This 'RISING STORM' update was an all-round update that affected the overall structure of Lineage M, from class reboot to hunting ground renewal, season pass, TJ coupon, and system improvement, beyond simply adding content. In particular, the strategically organized structure of continuously applied content improvements, season passes that can be purchased with Adena, and the provision of 7 TJ coupons are noteworthy as they simultaneously target new user inflow and dormant user return. Above all, the event lineup where rewards pour out just by logging in shows that this moment is the best time to return to or start Lineage M.
*Includes probability-based items.
