The ‘Rift’ system was designed to enhance the fun of character growth and gear collection beyond simply repeating the same content after clearing adventure difficulty.

Rifts are end-game content designed to maximize character performance within a short, focused run of about 10-15 minutes. They allow you to complete your own combat deck by directly applying desired legendary options through rift-exclusive gems.

The Rift Overview

Available on December 16th, he Rift is compressed combat content where you consecutively break through three areas.

Each area features three consecutive wave battles, with the final area introducing that area's boss.

Skill trees cannot be opened during combat; build adjustments are only possible during the Select Rewards time between waves.

Immediate leveling and Artifact selection occur via the Rift Chest that appears after each battle.

Participation Requirements

After clearing Adventure Difficulty, you can enter The Rift through NPC ‘Andes’ at the Source of Succession.

Players with a history of clearing the existing Adventure Difficulty can enter The Rift immediately.

The Rift uses a sequential entry system. Clearing each stage grants access to the next stage and its corresponding rewards.

Rift-Exclusive Gems & Legendary Option Infusion

Two new NPCs appear in front of Cliffshire.

Defeating bosses in The Rift grants special gems.

Take these gems to Camilla and offer legendary gear as tribute to infuse the options from the offered legendary gear into the gem.

This completes the core progression loop for crafting your own build and combat deck.

The central slot is designed exclusively for Mythic Gems, allowing you to pursue the ultimate combinations.

Additionally, defeating The Rift bosses spawns exclusive chests, yielding various loot including Legendary~Mythic grade gear and The Rift Gems.

Competition: Season Leaderboards

The Rift has upgraded community competition to align with the purpose of end-game content.

Through the leaderboard system, Steam ID, profile image, highest tier, and record time are shared.

At the end of each season, the leaderboards reset, and season-exclusive gear/rewards will be added to provide ongoing motivation for challenges.

Pre-Season Notice

  • This update will proceed as a Pre-Season.

  • Its purpose is to verify balance and stabilize systems before the official season. We plan to incorporate Player feedback to provide a more refined competitive environment in the official season.

Challenge your limits to build your ultimate battle deck and dominate the leaderboards.

We can't wait to see your amazing builds!
