Hoyoung, an all-new Anima thief class premiering in today’s update, brings a variety of skills and gameplay to Maple World using the Ritual Fan and Fan Tassel. With the help of Taotie, one of the four perils, Hoyoung looks to fix his mistake and reseal the monsters he accidentally unleashed upon the world.
