Major Updates

1. Adding a new Celestial hero: Dunlingr, the Eternal Voice, who will be released on September 20 at 00:00 UTC. You can acquire him through Stargaze Station and Guild Store.

2. The Waves of Intrigue season will officially launch on September 19 for servers that have been active for at least 40 days. To unlock the season, you must reach Level 240 with your Hands of Resonance and complete Ryeham Tales. Once these conditions are met, a quest will become available in Holistone, guiding you to the season region and starting you on an epic journey!

3. Adding the Peaks of Time on October 1. If you missed the Song of Strife season, you'll be able to access it in this mode after completing The Last Leg quest, allowing you to collect plenty of map resources as you play through the season storyline. If you have participated in Song of Strife, your progress will carry over to Peaks of Time, so you can pick up right where you left off.

4. Adding the Heroic Gauntlet mode, where you can earn great rewards like Invite Letters and Velvet Vouchers. You can even earn Twilight Essence for overcoming tough challenges. In this mode, your heroes will be temporarily upgraded to Mythic tier, with their Hero Focus Skill at max level.

5. Adding a new Talent Trials mode to Season AFK Stages. Clearing stages in this mode will increase your Season AFK progress like in regular mode, but with the added benefit of using new Faction Talents in battles. Please note that your Instant AFK rewards will be reset when you enter the new season.

6. Updating seasonal progression features, including Season Resonance Level, Season Equipment, and Season Artifacts. In Waves of Intrigue, Season Resonance Level starts at 240 and Season Equipment Levels start at 241. Progression features from the Song of Strife season will no longer be available.

7. Adding 10 new Season Artifacts, each with a maximum level of 25. They will be released with the version updates throughout the season. You can acquire them through Story Quests, Reputation Quests, and Season Milestone Rewards. Upgrade materials will be available through Legend Trials.

8. Adding Season Faction Talents, which only takes effect in Season Legend Trial, Talent Trials of Season AFK Stages, Supreme Arena, and other seasonal modes and events. It does not take effect in Season Dream Realm.

9. Adding Season Store, where you can use Season Tokens to redeem Soul Sigils of heroes released during the Song of Strife season. The Soul Sigils of Alsa and Soren are currently available in Season Store. More will be introduced along with the version updates of the Waves of Intrigue season.

10. Adding 2 new Dream Realm Bosses: Crystal Beetle and Orson. A total of 8 Bosses will rotate daily. The daily district rankings rewards will offer Season Tokens instead of Dream Fragments. You can still use these tokens to redeem Dream Fragments in Season Store.

11. Changing the daily ranking rewards for the Supreme Arena from Arena Coins to Season Tokens. You can still use these tokens to redeem Arena Coins in Season Store.

12. Adding Season Swaps, a new feature that lets you swap two heroes released during the Waves of Intrigue season. This item allows you to swap hero tiers, as well as levels of Exclusive Equipment, Hero Focus, and Enhance Force between two heroes. Season Swaps do not expire and come in various types for different heroes.

Season A-Level Swap: Used to swap the progressions between two A-Level heroes released during the Waves of Intrigue season.

Season S-Level Swap: Used to swap the progressions between two S-Level heroes (excluding Celestials or Hypogeans) released during the Waves of Intrigue season.

13. Adding the Velvet Store. You can use the Velvet Vouchers earned through Growth Trials and other events to redeem exquisite Cosmetics in this store.

Combat Mechanics

1. Salazer - Lash of Bantus

Fixing the issue where Salazer's Ultimate, Rain of Blades, hits the target one more time than stated in the description. The skill description has been corrected, and the actual effect remains unchanged.

2. Lily May - Twilight Tracker

Lily May's Rainstorm Ballet skill, when activated, now properly benefits from the Enlightening Spell Artifact and allies' skills like Lyca's Empyrean Blessing. With this fix, Lily May's Rainstorm Ballet will synergize better with her Rainfall Bliss skill.

3. Igor - The Mad Dagger

Fixing the issue where Igor's ranged normal attack can sometimes miss its target because the attack trajectory is too short.

4. Thoran - The Fallen King

Fixing the issue where Thoran's Soul Pact, his Exclusive Equipment Skill, does not activate between Thoran and the ally placed behind him during Battle Preparation if the ally's position changes significantly at the start of a battle.

5. Granny Dahnie - Forest Guardian

Fixing the issue where Granny Dahnie's Force of Nature does not properly benefit from the DMG Boost and DMG Reduction Rivalry Stats.

6. Phraesto - Abyssal Illusionist

Fixing the issue where Phraesto's Vicious Sting does not properly benefit from the DMG Boost and DMG Reduction Rivalry Stats.

7. Lucius - The Lightbringer

Optimizing the short description of his Divine Bash skill. The actual effect remains unchanged.

8. Talene - Resurging Flame

Fixing the issue where Talene's Ultimate isn't cast immediately when her Energy is full during battles against Skyclops.

9. Primal Lord - Crystal Beetle

Fixing the issue where Crystal Beetle is still affected by the effects of an attack after dodging the attack with its Phantom Scales.

10. Primal Lord - Skyclops

Fixing the issue where the casting frequency of Skyclops' Glaring Ray in Season Dream Realm does not match the skill description. No adjustments will be made for non-season Dream Realm battles in Starter Story.

11. In Arcane Labyrinth, the damage effects of certain crests are now calculated based on your Team ATK instead of the enemy's max HP. The damage cap and multiplier remain unchanged from their original values.
