I. Under the Night Crossover Event: Voidwhisper Hospital Gameplay Updates
The [Rift Portal] in Survival Mode (excluding Immortal War) and Rift Traversal Mode will open after a certain period following the start of the match. Once opened, players can interact with it to teleport to [Voidwhisper Hospital].
The [Rift Portal] now allows 3 teams to enter.
After the update, the restrictions related to players' weapons and movements when entering the [Voidwhisper Hospital] will be removed.
Exploration Goal 1: find the real Nyx
In Survival modes, spin the wheel to randomly obtain one of Nyx's divine powers and receive a random Combat Item Tome:
Starshine Dancer: Dash in the aimed direction and recover some Armor. Can be used under attack.
Dark Corruption: Generates a sphere that [Silences] enemies inside.
Fallen Stars: Call down a meteor shower around yourself, inflicting damage to enemies.
In Rift Traversal, you will instead receive a Relic and unlock a Rift Gate (exclusively available for escape to the team who have awakened the real Nyx).
Exploration Goal 2: Awakening Nyx will unlock the sealed hospital backyard on the 1st floor for further exploration.
There you will find a figure resembling Lin Qiye.
Defeat Lin Qiye for rewards:
In Survival modes: Extreme Heng Sword Skin [Under the Night·Pale Demise]
Rift Traversal: Relic rewards
When the countdown ends, [Voidwhisper Hospital] will be filled with toxic fog. Players can exit [Voidwhisper Hospital] through the [Rift Portals] located within the hospital.
When defeated in the Voidwhisper Hospital, you will only drop Nyx's Tome and the Extreme Heng Sword Skin. All other gears will be retained and you will respawn outside the hospital.
In the matches of Survival modes (except for Immortal War) and Rift Traversal, Chaos Gateway will appear. Defeat the enemies escaped from the Chaos Gateway to obtain rewards.
II. Showdown: Brand New Content
New Hero Joined: Zai
Zai has joined Showdown with skills and Ultimate that differ from the Survival modes.
She wields flames of judgment and reckoning.
New Mastery Souljades
Select Melee and Ranged Souljades have been upgraded to Mastery Souljades, which can be equipped in the newly introduced Mastery Slots (unlocked at Hero Level 20).
Souljade storage now includes a dedicated Mastery category — only these specialized Souljades can be equipped in Mastery Slots.
Both Main Attributes and Sub Attributes of Souljades in Mastery Slots take effect.
Mastery Souljades have no elemental-wielding attributes (Ice/Poison/Thunder-wielding); imbuement only affects elemental effects in main attributes and is restricted to weapon-compatible Souljades.
Enhanced Level Progression
Hero level cap increased to 25 across all Showdown heroes, introducing advanced techniques and superior equipment.
Upgrading heroes from level 21 to 25 requires level breakthrough, using Breakthrough Aura — a new resource obtainable through Showdown weekly challenges.
