Update: Ok guys I have some new info on this class (Thanks to @oon123).

This class is unlocked from the Angry Birds Magazine. Possibly UK only.

Only unlockable on Android and Windows Phone.

Single use code.

It appears to be like the Ronin Archmage and Moon Priestess to where it replaces Pirate and gives a 10% boost in damage. There’s one question that remains: How do we get it? There might be a surprise coming soon ;).

[KillerKea]

That leaves only blues left to get an upgraded class. Tricksters will be the next class they upgrade if they stick to their pattern.

[Zack Voyager]

@killerkea You just forget that iOS European or American ABE players never got a single class upgrade…

[Bubbley]

No and I expect we will be the wallflowers again. Pity I would like a Corsair.

[burbman]

Maybe it is an arena prize, for overall season accomplishment???

[Mighty Red]

Interesting. If this upgrade is coming, it will be my 4th class upgrade.

[MVNLA2]

See this post:

New Levels!

However it does seem that IOS users might be left out once again.

Hmm there’s a lot of different ways we could get this class.

1) A prize from the Arena being over (Like Burbman said).

2) Possibly from the new update coming.

3) Something we don’t even know about.

@mvnla2 I realized something from that thread. You know how it says Mini Map Campaign on there? Maybe that’s how we get the class? All the other class upgrades came from events and this sounds like an event.

@killerkea
Blue Trio/Jokers?

[Neomerlinmagic]

Yet another class upgrade that I won’t be able to get. Thanks Rovio!

[dr_ishmael]

@partshade The reward for the mini-map campaign is a class for Red – Stone Guard. It doesn’t say anything about this Corsair class for Bomb.

[Doc Mayank]

So if previous classes were only available to a part of the world, how does Rovio differentiate between players? Since if it’s timezone we could just change it right?

Looking forward to an upgrade for classes. If they add the green bird as well, I’d love it.

[Angry Johnny]

@doc-mayank Probably through sorting IP-ranges

[Doc Mayank]

@angryjohnny So if I connect through a proxy based in a different country I could get the special classes?

[Angry Johnny]

@doc-mayank The special classes was distributed during a very limited time and is no longer available.

Ronin could be gotten by signing up for Epic before launch in Japan, Archmage was available for a limited time last summer for Android players and Moon Priestess was available in the countries that celebrated the Moon Festival. For all these classes only Moon Priestess needed to connect through proxy to get and yes that should have worked.

The new Class can be distributed any of these ways or in a new way but we do not have any info about that yet.

[burbman]

@angryjohnny @doc-mayank – I think it is based on which country’s app store the app was purchased through. I am in the US, but have an account in the Canadian App store that I use to download some of the soft launch apps. Those apps continue to receive updates via the Canadian store even after the global launch, regardless of where I am physically located.

[Neomerlinmagic]

Met the new Corsair class in the arena already. Check it out!

[Baconizer]

@neomerlinmagic Hacker? How does he have that class already?

[Neomerlinmagic]

@korath88
I believe it was a computer generated opponent.

[Lodz]

One more screenshot from me. Level 46 Corsair with mastery level 10.

[Joey]

Does anyone have a picture of the 6 classes of Bomb next to each other in the Nest? with the Corsair new class?

[mich]

I was hoping the corsair would be a replacement for the cap’n, but it seems from his skills that he is a slightly improved version of the pirate. I never use the pirate, so I don’t care much for the corsair either. Same for the new Red class that was mistakenly announced on the Amazon App Store.

[dr_ishmael]

@joeyba You won’t have 6 classes, Corsair will replace Pirate.

[scruffydork]

My pirate is level 10. If I switch to Corsair, do I have to stay at level 1 and grind back up to 10?
