Nexon is introducing 'Archer', a popular character from the original game, and the top-tier 'Luke Raid' dungeon to Dungeon & Fighter Mobile (hereinafter DNF Mobile), alongside a variety of growth events.
Nexon (Co-CEOs Kang Dae-hyun and Kim Jung-wook) added 'Archer', a native of Celesti who wields bows and secondary equipment, to its mobile action game Dungeon & Fighter Mobile (hereinafter DNF Mobile) on the 17th. Archer, a core popular class from the original Dungeon & Fighter, can be played through two subclasses in this update: 'Muse', an INT-based buffer, and 'Traveler', a STR-based physical damage dealer. First, 'Muse' plays the 'Bowharp', a bow-shaped instrument, to boost party members' morale, applying buffs by playing various musical scores powered by 'Divine Power' gained when striking enemies. In particular, considering the characteristics of mobile devices, accessibility was greatly improved so that players can play music scores using only the basic attack button. 'Traveler' is a damage dealer who dominates the battlefield with her dedicated weapon, the 'Longbow', and a wide range of tools. She unleashes overwhelming firepower through 'Set Up: Onslaught', a core passive that eliminates skill end-lag and seamlessly connects ground and aerial attacks, and 'Celestial Weapon: Meteor', which deals additional strikes. In addition, a system that refines the new resource 'Mist' to load ammunition has been added, delivering even more spectacular aerial and ground combat.
The new 'Luke Raid' dungeon, designed with the highest level of difficulty, has also been introduced. A key feature of this raid is that it has been thoroughly revamped around a solo mode in line with the 'DNF Mobile 2.0' initiative, which pursues light and flexible play. The minimum entry level is set to 90, while also supporting party play of two to three players in the traditional format. The entire dungeon is divided into three stages, where players pursue the army of 'Luke', who has gathered strength, by defeating named monsters and bosses in each stage. Upon successfully clearing the dungeon, players acquire 'Luke Raid Weapons', 'Luke Raid Necklaces/Rings', and the crafting material 'Monolithium'. Additionally, by utilizing the 'Auction Coins' awarded as rewards, players can obtain rare items such as new 'Monster Cards' through the 'Coin Auction' system, which opens twice daily.
To mark the update, Nexon has prepared a variety of events to help players level up quickly. Until 6:00 AM on October 22, the 'Persimmons Are Ripening, Let's Go' event will be held, where players cultivate persimmon trees to obtain essential growth materials such as 'Twisted Prism' and 'Ryan Cokes'. Alongside this, until 6:00 AM on November 26, a major growth support event will run, offering EXP boost buffs, Epic armor, and large amounts of Gold to user-selected characters in the level 1–85 range. During the same period until 6:00 AM on November 26, players who create an 'Archer' will receive a special buff that significantly increases primary stats, attack speed, and casting speed. Furthermore, completing simple missions such as attendance checks rewards players with a 'Master Contract (7 Days)' and the Archer-exclusive weapon avatar 'Electric Guitar Red/Blue'. Detailed information can be found on the official DNF Mobile YouTube channel and website.
