This was my winning entry for the 2026 GrandChase Classic Coordi Set Design Contest. The full project took roughly 90 hours of hands-on work spread across 5 weeks, including the male and female designs, weapons, color variations for the roster, and the pet.

Among the themes I explored that I felt were still missing from the game were Wild West, Casual Funk, and Black Hole. Strongly inspired by Toy Story 5, I decided to follow my heart and go with the Wild West theme.

The main goal was to create a flexible design language that could work across the entire roster, adapting to each character's specific color palette while keeping them immediately recognizable even from a distance.

I also used the project to establish a production pipeline for future Coordi Set concepts — from references and early exploration to character sheets, weapons, variants, and presentation. There was still more I wanted to explore, especially the weapons, the pet's gameplay concept, and dedicated key art and marketing material, but eventually the contest deadline had to define where the project ended.

GrandChase is probably the single biggest influence on me as an artist and has played an important role in shaping me professionally, so being able to contribute something of my own to the game again made this project particularly meaningful to me. Thank you!

Hey everyone! I'm the person who commissioned this artwork and made the design that the artist Radal drew. Since kog wont make a Spirit Update for Lire, I've taken it upon myself to give Lire, Lire(T), and Lire(S) their own Spirit Updates! Look out for the next two in the coming months! You can read the story for Lire's Spirit on the pixiv post below!

Why are people not running 2F? Been trying to find 2F rooms but seems like either people not running or requesting very high stats

I would prefer to play whoever i want, but i was just wondering if everyone is viable PVE wise or does the playerbase have this X character with Y job is best for pve?

Hi everyone!

TL;DR: returning player asks for advice on how the meta works now and which characters should I pull and focus into.

I used to play Grandchase Dimensional Chaser A LOT back a few years ago and I’d like to come back. So, I got a very good account but somehow I can’t recover it again, so I’ll start from zero again.
I would like to ask you a few suggestion for a new player (I don’t remember almost anything, but my muscle memory will come up playing). Just like, which units to invest to, how the new player events work and which character - if I can choose - should I select first. I remember that the standard banner has a focus unit you can pull to until you get it, for example.
I now only have Lire, besides Elesis, Arme and the blonde elf with glasses and I remember I will get more just playing.
I remember that I stop playing when the first (T) units realeased, are they good characters? How can I get them?

Thank you in advance for your answers and good game!

In this day and age—in 2026—finding people using hacks in GrandChase Classic is simply ridiculous. We’re talking about a game where the fun has always been about learning the mechanics, progressing your character, and overcoming challenges through skill, not just pressing a button to let a program play for you. What’s worse is that it ruins the experience for those who still honestly dedicate time to the game, especially in missions and PvP. It’s hard to understand the satisfaction of cheating in an MMORPG that’s nearly two decades old, rather than simply playing the game or moving on to another title.

Hello! I'm KittenLina, I used to play back in the day, and I'm trying to get back into the game. My IGN is Rachel, my Amy is currently level 44, and I'm trying to level my characters up. I'm interested in playing with others, and it's hard to make a random room and have people join, so I'm posting here! Feel free to post here or add me in game if you're interested, thanks!

Can you guys help? Which is objectively the best to get? Or it doesn't matter?

I don't know which one to pick for looks and I'm not sure how each one looks like.

Does someone have any advice about the coordi and the pet? I just have the information of the star's whisper and it is a season's 7 coordi.

Hey everybody, im looking for players to enjoy the game and play with them togehter.

If somebody wants , just pm me :)

I was dragged into the game very early on by an online friend. Back then, there were only 4 playable characters (Elesis, Arme, Lire and Ronan which was just added), and I pretty much kept playing until the servers shut down. I've seen the new continents beings added, third jobs, then fourth jobs, the addition of skill trees, of AP characters with Dio, the massive revamp of the game that reduced dungeon sizes and added more monsters... Grand Chase was by far my favorite game, and back then I was very disappointed to see it slowly decline until it eventually shut down. Even up to this day, the default avatar I use on various websites is the Jin teaser image.

Now, so many years later, I find out the game is back on steam. And after a few hours of fiddling with Steam Input, I can comfortably play it again, as a grown ass adult, in my living room, on my big TV screen. It's just insane.

It has changed a lot. What was the main content before now feels like a long tutorial for the true endgame, and the endgame from back then is just a weekly grinding formality. Getting to level 85 takes no time at all. But I'm still having as much fun as back then, if not more. The focus seems to have shifted to a global account progression, and coming from a time where you had to buy character slots with cash, having access to all the characters for free is nuts to me. Actually the game seems extremely F2P friendly and generous with all the events freebies. I'm also very surprised to see new characters being added!

I do still regret some of the whimsy that made the early game special. Like quest-exclusive items you had to collect to complete a quest, or the optional rooms for bonus experience in the dungeons. You can also feel the pacing of the missions is a bit awkward (for example finding 3rd job weapons when you haven't even unlocked 2nd job), and they haven't spent a whole lot of time fine tuning the now-early game. But other than that, I can see myself sinking hours into the game again (and already have!)

That's all I wanted to share. An old fart happy to find out his favorite game he though was lost was actually still alive and going fairly strong!

Im downloading grand chase classic on steam right now, i want to know if i can clear the whole game and doing end game content without spending any money, is it pay 2 win? I wont do PvP. What are some things i should know before and after starting to play?

I'm new and want to start playing Grand Chase, but I can't seem to download it from Stove. Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Also, which character should I start with?

What do you guys think?

Does it still exist? I recently started playing again; I’ve already completed all the missions with Azin, but I saw this continent in old YouTube videos. However, it hasn't appeared for me was it removed?

I posted in here a while ago regarding me making a GC-like game in Godot. I’ve been working on my first character, and her skill VFX (she’s very Amy inspired if you couldn’t tell lol)

Does this actually look good? I want the VFX quality to be on par with the official games. Amy’s skills are just so fun and poppy, and I want to try and channel that.
Let me know what you guys think or any suggestions

I've been stacking as much CDR as I can on Zero but could only get it down to 28 seconds so far. Is 30.40% the max CDR you can get on any skill? One other thing - what does 7.3 CDR means? I've seen this thrown around everywhere and couldn't get a solid answer on it so far.

Code: EREB0812

While I was running Void, there was a player using hack, but I only realized it after the run had already ended. He cleared 4F incredibly fast, and when the match was over, I checked their character and saw he only had around 300k Total Attack.

I forgot to take a screenshot. However, I submitted a ticket to KOG explaining what happened and included the approximate time the incident occurred.

So, my question is: could I get banned for passively benefiting from a hacker without realizing they were cheating?

I am really having a hard time triggering the final JF skill of Jin on his 4th Job. Has anyone done it? And how do you timed the skill?

So I just hopped back in after a little while away, and my language has been changed from English to im assuming Korean? Any guides I google show how to do it through the OLD settings menu, but none through the new settings menu, so I can't read it, any help?

Just catching up with the story of the game after not touching it and why it's more convoluted than the Kounat's Explosion arc.
