Description

"Eryuell Island's peace-loving Archer."

Main Info

Elves from Eryuell Island are famous for their combat skills, but are naturally pacifistic and try to avoid becoming involved in human conflicts. However, in recent years, the war expanded across the entire continent and a series of bizarre incidents occurred. The elves decided to end their isolation and cooperate with humans. Working together, the elves and the humans discover that Kaze'aze is responsible for the havoc that is wrecking the continent.

To return peace to Eryuell Island and the continent, the elves decided to continue investigating Kaze'aze and formed the Elven Corps to combat her evil. Lire is a member of the Elven Corps that has joined the Grand Chase on behalf of the elves.

Awakening: Radiant Wings

“ I will be stronger to be of help to everyone! ”

After the collapse of the Tower of Disappearance, Lire confronted her past memories in the darkness. She recalled her decision to leave Eryuell Island to aid the continent. She repeatedly faced the haunting images of burned villages from the monster attack and the loss of her friend, to whom she had promised her support.

"We trusted you, why did you do this to us?"

Resentment dug into her chest, and the weight of her failure made her feel helpless.

"That's right, I failed..."

Lire clutched her head and squeezed her eyes shut. She then remembered her friends and realized that this was no mere illusion, but something from her own heart. Lire began to face her own fears.

"Yes, I've failed. I might fail again. But running away won't change anything."

The moment Lire made her decision, the evil power that had surrounded her like a thorny vine shattered in an intense burst of light. Butterflies of light encircled her, breaking the illusion that had trapped her. "I will be stronger to be of help to everyone", Lire vowed as she began her search for her friends.[3]

Personality

Born in Eryuell Island and raised away from all the irregularity of war, Lire grew up as a prissy and honorable girl. As a Sagittarius, she has noble ideas and loves freedom. She acts smoothly and expeditiously and does not worry too much about problems, but her outgoing personality drives her like a well-aimed arrow to pursue her goals.

Lire likes gathering the seeds of plants and various types of flora. She also grows many vegetables in her garden but finds it difficult to get used to cooking and other household chores. She often acts as a mediator when her team members are fighting. There are times when her patience is driven to the limit, but she rarely exhibits these feelings.


Unlocking

(NOTE: This information applies only to the previous edition of the game on the North American server and is no longer valid following its reopening as GrandChase Classic.)

Before Season V, Lire does not need to be unlocked as she is one of the starter characters.


Trivia

Chaser lire
  • Lire is the only playable character in the game that uses archery.
    • Noticeably, Lire does not have a quiver. Instead, the arrows come from hammerspace.
  • Several pieces of artwork of Lire depicted her eyes as yellow. However, all of her present character images show it as green.
  • Upon becoming an Arch Ranger, Lire's hair turns white or yellowish-white in color. However, it reverts to its usual blonde color as a Nova despite being the higher class.
    • It is likely an effect of using the Great Bow which is imbued with the power of the Spirit Lord Innadril.
  • In Elsword Online, another game designed by KOG Studios which has a very similar synopsis to Grand Chase, the character Rena Erindel was based on Lire. However, both have vastly different backgrounds.
    • During the early development of the game, Rena was originally named "Lire". However, this was scrapped due to copyright reasons as both games were hosted by different companies at the time.
    • Lire is usually the one breaking up the fights of Elesis and Arme whenever they quarrel with each other. This trait is also shared by Rena with Elsword and Aisha Landar.
  • In KurtzPel, another game designed by KOG Studios, an eponymous Quest NPC is carrying over the Grand Chase character's personality, Elven theme, and Arch Ranger's appearance.
    • According to Director Gwon, the game takes place in a parallel universe of Grand Chase after a certain point wherein major events and stories are depicted differently[4] hence the existence of another Lire.
      • In a released cinematic video[5], Lire has appeared alongside her Grand Chase counterpart to further demonstrate the connection between the two worlds.
  • Lisnar, one of Aernas' Creators long ago, bears a striking resemblance to Lire in appearance. Whether or not this is a coincidence is unknown.
  • Lire appears to be able to keep herself calm better than her teammates.
    • Ironically, most of Lire's quotes are mocking, contradicting her gentle personality.

Others

  • Lire is a jack of all trades, with the ability to use a ranged weapon, physical kicks (Crossbowman's Trampoline Kick and Nova's overall playstyle), wind, nature, fire, ice, light, and dark magic (Archer Skill Tree), traps, a melee weapon (Archer's Attack Swing and Arch Ranger's melee attacks with her bow and arrows), and machinery (Demi Shock and Magic Missile). She also has considerable combo ability, attack power, and range, agility (including teleportation), buffs and debuffs, and mana regeneration, all with little to no delay.
  • Lire can fire numerous arrows and bolts without delay (most noticeably the Crossbowman and the Archer's Barrage). In real life, this is illogical as it is nearly impossible to fire multiple arrows in a fraction of a second.
    • In her basic combo, Lire can bend back in a 45-degree angle position. This, in real life, is also illogical as bending too far would damage and break one's spine.
  • Although elves are generally known to age slower than humans, there is no concrete evidence of this in Grand Chase. Her teenage-like appearance suggests that Lire, along with Ryan, are accounted for as 15-year-olds in human terms.
  • Lire is one of three playable characters that specialize in machinery, the other being Mari and Rufus. In Lire's case, her special skill Magic Missile takes the form of a missile with no notable magic properties.
  • According to a Bingo question, the names of Elesis, Lire, and Arme originally came from the real-world continent of Europe. However, except for Arme's, this is incorrect as the names are modified versions of real-world names such as Alexis or Elise and Lir.
