- 20 New Artifacts - 16 September 2026
New Content: 20 New ArtifactsA total of 20 new Artifacts have been added: 10 Legendary Artifacts and 10 Normal Artifacts. Each Legendary Artifact also comes with five elemental Engravings and an Ascend Effect.These Artifacts are designed to open up builds that work differently from those already available. Several use less commonly utilized actions, such as Awaken, Special Attacks, Tactical Attacks, and Counterattacks, as their activation conditions. Others convert resource flows such as steps taken, Blood Shards spent, and Weapon Chimes acquired into damage.ElementLegendary ArtifactHow It WorksWindOar of SondolOn Awaken, summons a Tempest Wheel that pulls in enemies across a wide area and deals damage based on the distance they are pulled.WindEdict of the Hidden TargetSpecial Attacks drive in a Blood Stake and connect it to the caster with a Blood Thread.

- New Weapon: Great Guillotine - 27 August 2026
New Content: New Weapon - Great GuillotineThe fourth weapon, Great Guillotine, has been added. Imbued with the sacred power of Oguan, the Warden of Fear, Great Guillotine uses its own resource, Scream. Cut down enemies with the Common Attack, “Guillotine Arts,” and the Tactical Attack, “Guillotine Charge,” to collect Scream, then use the Special Attack, “Execution,” to consume all stored Scream at once and slam down in front. The more Scream you consume, the greater the damage and damage range become, so choosing when to unleash Execution is the key to using Great Guillotine well.The Tactical Attack, “Guillotine Charge,” uses the massive guillotine blade as a shield, charging forward to strike 3 times and destroy most hostile projectiles along the way. The Awaken, “Great Guillotine Unleashed,” resets weapon skill cooldowns and fully restores stamina. During Awaken, damage, critical hit…
- Introducing Difficulty Levels - 10 August 2026
New Content: Difficulty SystemThe existing linear four-tier difficulty system has been replaced with a modular system that lets you select and combine the modifiers you want. Choose as many modifiers as you like across categories such as Fiends, Bosses, Weapons, and Artifacts to create your own challenge.Change: Artifact Engrave - No Limit BreakThe Engrave slot structure for Legendary Artifacts has been overhauled. Previously, each Artifact had only five slots—one for each of the five elements—so completed Artifacts always had the same Revelation setup. The number of slots has now been expanded to 25, allowing up to five Engraves to be allocated to a single element.The Artifact Revelation requirement remains unchanged (at least one Engrave in all five elements), but the same Artifact can now support completely different builds depending on how much is invested in each element. However,…
