What is Multi-Character Control?
Multi Character Control (MCC) allows players to control up to three characters simultaneously, a feature common in console RPGs but never before seen in an MMOG. With MCC, players can utilize a variety of skill sets for their own party as they adventure through the world.
Can I control all three characters at once?
YES! Controlling three characters at once is easy at a basic level thanks to the game's XAI. Mastering the hotkeys will allow you to fully control the actions of all your characters simultaneously.
What is XAI?
XAI refers to Xtreme Artificial Intelligence. Granado Espada's XAI powers the MCC system, making it effective for both beginning and advanced players.
What is the family system?
Instead of creating a single character, Granado Espada gives you the chance to create an entire family. This family will grow as you progresses through the game, allowing a multitude of strategic combinations to be played out using MCC. Every character you create will carry a common family name which you decide upon when you first start playing, as well as a given name which is given when that character is created.
How do squads work? Can each player use three characters?
A squad is gathering of players grouped together for a quest, mission, or other purpose. Each player in a squad can control up to three characters, making large squads extremely powerful.
How do I level my characters in GE?
Your characters gain experience through combat or completing quests. Characters must be active to gain combat experience.
What is the barracks?
The barracks acts as a character selection screen, and a home for your family of characters. Here you can choose which members of your family will form the three character team you take out into the world.

What are stock characters?
A stock character is any character created from the 5 standard classes: Fighter, Musketeer, Wizard, Elementalist, and Scout. All of these models are available at the start of the game.
What are RNPCs?
RNPC stands for recruitable non-player characters. In Granado Espada, some characters you meet will offer to join your family if you complete certain quests for them. Once a character offers to join, you will receive an NPC Card for that character. You can then create that character once.
Is there any limit on the type of characters I can create?
You may create any combination or number of the stock characters, but RNPCS can only be created once.
How do the different stances work?
Stances are different action/skill modes that you may assign to each character. As you progress in the game, you are able to "stance-up", leveling up your stance level. This will improve your stances and also open up new stances that can be purchased in the game.
Does GE have emotes?
Characters in G.E. can use the "Pose" function, which allows the character to strike various poses. New and additional poses can also be purchased from the merchants or gained through completing quests.
How do the basic controls work?
Basic controls in Granado Espada use a point and click system, but learning to fully utilize the keyboard's hotkeys will be essential to survival at higher levels. Read more about GE's controls at Hero Control.
Do I have to know the GE story before I start playing?
You don't need to know the story to play, but knowing the GE story will add a lot of meaning and fun to your game play.
What is the best team combo for a new player?
