Remade the Battle Drills. This mode will be periodically available as an event and is designed to maintain balanced difficulty using a benchmark level. Both the mode itself and the event rewards have undergone substantial changes. Please refer to the actual in-game experience for the most accurate information, and we welcome your feedback.
Added Invasion Rift. After passing AFK Stage 391, access it through the Battle Modes. Invasion Rift is a 3-player mode where each deploys 2 heroes to challenge formidable enemies. Upon completion, you can use the daily-recovering Treasure Keys to claim dropped rewards, including random Class Equipment, Essence, and XP. Additionally, you’ll encounter various Corrupt Creatures across the map; defeating them as a team yields substantial rewards.
Adjusted the level and effect of Hero Exclusive Equipment and Exclusive Skill. Following the adjustments, the max level for Exclusive Equipment has been changed to Lvl. 25. You will use Dazzling Stone as the resource between levels 6 and 15. The max level for Exclusive Skills has been increased to Lvl. 4 (unlocked when Exclusive Equipment reaches Lvl. 15). Accordingly, we will reset the development progress of all Exclusive Equipment to its initial status (the locked status) and return all unlocking and development materials cost on a 1:1 basis (to be delivered via Mail within 5 working days). Additionally, there will be changes to the Hero Tier requirements for upgrading Exclusive Equipment.
Added the one-time reward after dealing a certain amount of damage to the Boss in the Endless Mode of Dream Realm.
Adjusted the final rewards in the Hell Mode of Dream Realm, adding Dazzling Stone x5. Accordingly, we will send the additional reward to all players who have already claimed this tier of rewards (to be delivered via Mail within 5 working days).
Adjusted the Lvl. 30 reward of Secret Travelogue in Noble Path. The previous prize, Antique Coin, has been replaced with a Select Hero Chest (Epic). Additionally, the Lvl. 100 reward will now include an extra drop of Antique Coin x10. Accordingly, we will send the newly added and modified rewards to players who have already claimed this tier of rewards. The rewards you’ve already received will not be revoked (to be delivered via Mail within 10 working days).
When an A-Level Hero upgrades from Elite to Elite+, the number of Soul Sigils required will decrease by 1. When upgrading from Legendary to Legendary+, the number of Soul Sigils required will increase by 1. Accordingly, we will send all A-Level Heroes between the Elite+ and Legendary Tier with an extra Soul Sigil (to be delivered via Mail within 5 working days).
