Season Update

New Gameplay: Rune Array

In the last update, we introduced a mechanic where Rune Stones randomly drop from level challenges. Perhaps many players have noticed that while you're getting more Rune Stones, the available space for placement feels a bit tight.

This time, we've optimized the Rune Array system, adding various new Arrays with different styles. Each has unique rules, helping you maximize your potential within the limited grid.

CONDENSATION ARRAY

Reduces the number of refreshes in Boss Levels in exchange for higher Runic Energy points. Suitable for players who pursue efficiency and want to accumulate resources quickly.

ANCHOR ARRAY

Increases challenge difficulty while providing extra rewards—the Rune Array starts with a fixed high-value Runic Energy. You need to plan your layout reasonably and make good use of this Initial bonus.

DUALISM ARRAY

Sets two corresponding positions on the Rune Array. When the Rune Stone in the primary slot gains points, the Rune Stone in the secondary slot also gains a certain amount of points. We hope this optimizes the difficulty of building multi-core builds.

New Rune Stones

ELEMENTAL PULSES - ELEMENTAL PULSES CORE

The long-absent Elemental Pulses returns to the battlefield. Paired with various elemental effects, it brings a satisfying visual experience.

GENERAL - ARCANE BOX

The Arcane Box is also making a comeback. As the only Rune Stone with a cap of 99 points, it brings more possibilities, along with additional enhancement effects waiting for you to discover.

WEAPON - WEAKENING BULLET

Do you like slow, easy-to-target monsters? Then try this Rune Stone. It causes enemies you hit to suffer a slow effect, and it can spread to other enemies after a kill, keeping the battle under your control.

Level Update

In this update, we have also added new routes in [Silent Crypt] and [Twilight Grove].

Development Progress

All the above content will be officially launched in the update on April 24. Meanwhile, Season 8 is progressing steadily. We will announce more information gradually, so stay tuned!
