Fight for Azwan

Removed Content / Feature

This article contains information no longer in-game, and are thus historical records of MapleStory.

Fight for Azwan was a dungeon located in Azwan where players would participate in different missions to help the residents of Azwan. It consisted of several modes:

• Occupy: A tower assault mode where you must destroy the Guardian Tower on the right, while defeating Hilla's skeleton and Bloodfang soldiers heading toward the left. If the enemies reach the left side, they will die and the Guardian Tower will be healed. Occasionally, Altars will appear and bombard you with a wide range of attacks.
• Attack: Similar to Occupy mode, but the Altars will have a shorter range of attacks and can heal the Guardian Tower's HP.
• Defense: A tower defense mode where you must protect the Cygnus Faith Stone from being destroyed by Hilla's soldiers. Every now and then a Mega Ballista will spawn, which must be defeated immediately or it will destroy the Cygnus Faith Stone, resulting in a failed run.
• Supply: A normal hunting ground where you must defeat Hilla's soldiers to obtain quest-specific items.

All of these modes had Solo and Party options (with Party being more difficult). Occupy, Attack, and Defense all had 4 difficulties: Easy, Normal, Hard, and Hell. Completing these would reward a certain amount of Honor EXP, which at the time was required to level up your Inner Ability's level and rank. In addition, players could receive Conqueror's Coins and Emperor's Coins by talking to Woodwan, Former Secretary of Domestic Affairs, which could be used to buy regular items from Popodom, Former Secretary of Foreign Affairs and rare items from Jean Pierre, most notably Circulators to reroll your Inner Ability. These also served as a Coin to purchase recipes for and craft the following Equipment Sets, as well as buy them directly:

• Level 80 Duke's Armor Set
• Level 100 Conqueror's Armor Set
• Level 130 Emperor's Armor Set
• Level 130 Emperor's / Imperial Sets:
  • Emperor's Brave Set
  • Emperor's Memories Set
  • Emperor's Sharpness Set
  • Emperor's Swift Set
  • Emperor's Fervent Set

With the release of Hilla's Boss Battle not long after, who also dropped Level 120 Necromancer Weapons, Fight for Azwan was replaced with the Azwan Battleground. This consisted of 3-stage battlegrounds in the style of Monster Park where you would fight the remnants of Hilla's army. The monsters inside would drop Conqueror's Coins and Emperor's Coins, and completing it would grant 100 Honor EXP per run, up to 5 times a day. However, this change was soon reverted and the original Fight for Azwan was restored in the Tempest Update.

As of the Unlimited / MapleStory: Unleashed Update, the Level 130 Emperor's / Imperial Sets were replaced with the Level 130 Sovereign Sets, though these were never added in GlobalMS:

• Sovereign Brave Set
• Sovereign Memory Set
• Sovereign Sharpness Set
• Sovereign Swift Set
• Sovereign Fervent Set

Fight for Azwan was closed as of the Rising Heroes / You & I Update, although it was removed much later in MapleSEA. As of Spring 2023 (Fall 2023 for Non-KMS servers), any remaining assets related to Fight for Azwan were removed, confirming that it will not return.
