Possible archer hero spoiled?

Also, can someone explain why we're making a big deal about the unnamed archer and not the unnamed pirate girl?

Because all the elements related to this character are new to the game, because the only elf in MS (other than the 4th job masters) is the archer master Athena Perice and because spadow informs that Nexon has declared this is a totally new character. Given it could be anything, like a new NPC, but until something else comes up, we are free to speculate.

Another thing to say is Nexon Korea decided to take a break from making new classes, and It's been almost a year since the last class was released there (Mechanic). Going by the dates of release of all classes since Pirates, Nexon was releasing new classes every six months (pirates-cygnus-aran-evan), then they rushed up and started adding classes every 3 months(dual blade-resistance) and even 1 month if you separate mechanics from the resistance. A 1 year break sounds like enough time for a break, It also would end in summer, perfect time to release a new class.
