Legend of Ymir turns one with its biggest class addition since launch. Wemade is adding the Assassin, a hooded blade fighter billed as “The Shadow That Calls Death.” The class arrives in the 1st Anniversary update together with Boot Camp Season 2, a seasonal fast-growth server for new, returning, and existing players. The same update brings a new Mythic companion, upgraded Blazons, and a free Legendary Dísir for every account.
Quick answer: The Assassin goes live with the 1st Anniversary update after maintenance ends at 03:00 UTC on October 20, 2026. Existing characters can switch to it through class change.
Release time: October 20, 2026, 03:00 UTC (end of update maintenance)
Legend of Ymir Assassin combat style and shadow skills
Wemade’s update notes call the Assassin a physical ranged class that fights with blade and shadow skills. The Korean reveal teaser shows something tighter in practice. It plays as a fast fighter that works the space between close and mid range, darting into enemy groups, landing quick strikes, and pulling back out. It has none of the line-holding of the Warlord or the head-on brawling of the Berserker. The kit is built on movement.
In the teaser, the Assassin wears a white-and-gold hooded ensemble, with a delicate gold chain draped over her face as a veil. She fights with two intricately decorated daggers. The footage shows her combat in the following way:
- Rapid dual-dagger combos that chain several slashes at short range
- A wire or grapple move used to launch into the air and spin above enemies
- Her strikes draw red streaks, and hits cause bleeding and blood-splatter effects.
- A shadow teleport wrapped in purple energy
- Enough mobility to weave freely between grouped enemies
Her signature ability is an awakening skill. She drops to her knees and calls forth a towering phantom of purple shadow, glowing as it emerges behind her; she then darts forward to stab with a dagger. The apparition reinforces her attacks instead of functioning as an independent pet. It also dominates the class key art, looming over her shoulder.
Assassin release date and maintenance times by region
The Korean teaser only promised an “October update.” Wemade has since set the date. The Assassin, Boot Camp Season 2, and the anniversary rewards all go live together on October 20, 2026, after a four-hour maintenance. The maintenance covers the ASIA, NA/EU, SA, and STEAM regions, and the windows below all fall at the same moment worldwide, from 23:00 to 03:00 UTC.
| Region | Time zone | Maintenance window |
|---|---|---|
| ASIA (incl. STEAM) | UTC+8 | Oct 20, 7:00 am – 11:00 am |
| NA/EU | UTC-4 | Oct 19, 7:00 pm – 11:00 pm |
| SA | UTC-3 | Oct 19, 8:00 pm – Oct 20, 12:00 am |
Assassin class change for existing characters
You can play the Assassin without creating a new character. The update’s class-change feature lets an existing character switch classes and retain its progress. The expected cost is roughly 5 to 10 crystals. Wemade hasn’t confirmed a final price in the anniversary materials, so that figure is an estimate.
The Assassin cannot be selected before the update is installed, no matter how many crystals you hold. After maintenance is over, it appears among the classes in the class-change process. Its appearance confirms the update is active on your server.
Players planning to switch on day one are setting aside crystals before the update, so they can change class as soon as it becomes selectable.
Boot Camp Season 2 server and growth boosts
Boot Camp is a seasonal server where everyone starts on equal footing and grows quickly. Season 1 opened in mid-2026 with a 300% EXP boost up to level 60. Season 2 raises both numbers, offering boosted Hunting EXP all the way to level 65. Wemade is also opening a Boot Camp Partner’s Server alongside it. The Season 2 events run from the October 20 update until January 12, 2027, 07:00 (UTC+8).
Eldr’s Rapid Growth Support potions
The core of the server is a daily check-in that hands out Eldr’s Growth Support Bundles. Each bundle contains a 24-hour potion whose strength drops as your level rises.
| Level | Hunting EXP | Item Drop | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 – 65 | +600% | +100% | — |
| 66 – 67 | +400% | +70% | — |
| 68 – 69 | +250% | +50% | Silver Gain +50% |
| 70 and above | +100% | +30% | — |
The same support line also grants bonuses against monsters, including damage and defense. Monster damage boosts come in +50%, +100%, and +150% tiers.
Boot Camp check-ins and missions
A group of Boot Camp-only events handles gear, companions, and artifacts:
- First Spark 14-Day Check-In: daily logins pay out equipment packages, tickets, and enhancement stones.
- First Step of Tempering: missions award a +7 Aetheric Weapon Package [Bound], a +7 Aetheric Armor Package [Bound], and accessories.
- Tempering Companion Support Task I & II: rewards include scrolls, pouches, chests, plus an Epic Horn: Air [Bound].
- Spark-Infused Artifact: crafting and enhancement missions for artifacts.
- Fafnir’s Growth Supply Chest: chest draws paid for with Silver.
The server also offers Boot Camp-exclusive collections that are not part of the general servers.
Boot Camp rankings and Growth Pass
| Event | Top reward |
|---|---|
| Individual Ranking | Artisan’s Secret Manual |
| Class Ranking (Rank 1) | +13 Agelmund Weapon Selection Chest [Bound] |
| Class Ranking (Rank 1) | Superior Enhancement Supplement: Protection [Bound] |
| Boot Camp Growth Pass | 30 levels of milestone rewards |
The Growth Pass is the only paid item in the set, and it costs 100 Silver, not premium currency. That makes it easy to pick up for anyone leveling on the server.
Birth and Return of the Einherjar check-ins
Two 30-day check-ins sit outside the Boot Camp event list. “Birth of the Einherjar” is a login calendar for brand-new warriors. “Return of the Einherjar” targets players who come back after a break, and it includes catch-up rewards such as +10 Ivaldi gear packages.
Returning-player status is checked against the October 20 update maintenance. Only accounts with no login in the 7 days before it qualify.
1st Anniversary rewards, Hrafnas, and new Blazons
Every player receives a Legendary Dísir when the update lands. Pre-registration opened October 6 and runs until the October 20 update. It reached its 100,000-user milestone, so everyone who signed up through the 1st Anniversary pre-registration page unlocks the full reward track on top of the free Dísir:
- A 1st Anniversary Legendary Companion (the final milestone reward)
- A Legendary Summon with a special 1st Anniversary Legendary Valkyrie/Dísir and an Epic Companion
- An Epic Equipment Selection Chest with a Rune Forge Equipment Selection Chest and growth support items
- Commemorative coupons for registered players
The summon pool also grows. Hrafnas, a new Mythic Air Companion, joins the summon rosters, and Radiant Sköll’s Blazon and Radiant Hati’s Blazon are added as upgraded versions of the existing Blazons.
Players who miss the anniversary window still have a later path in. When the Mythic Valkyrie and Dísir arrive on December 1, Boot Camp Season 2 is scheduled to run a 14-day check-in that awards a Legendary Valkyrie on day 7 and a Legendary Dísir on day 14. Because the server’s leveling boosts run into January, late arrivals can still use the same growth tools as players who start on October 20.
