Season 6: Elemental Reckoning - Wipe and Updates
This patch, along with the mid season reset, is focused on improving the overall balance of the game. We've rebalanced every offhand, including toning down modifiers that had the potential to completely dominate the meta. Our goal was to bring the overall power level much closer together so more offhands remain viable throughout the entire season. We've also significantly reduced monster health across the game to create a smoother progression curve and make your power growth feel much more meaningful as you advance.
The gates will close in approximately 30 minutes, and the season reset will begin at 3:30 PM EST. Thank you all again for your patience and support.

Server wipe: June 26th at 12:00 PM EST
Season launch: June 26th at 1:00 PM EST
Core Systems Overhaul: Damage & Scaling
To drastically expand build diversity and open up entirely new ways to play, we have fundamentally overhauled the core damage mechanics for Season 6.
The Damage Split: Player base damage has been officially split into two distinct categories: Physical and Elemental. This change allows for much deeper specialization, giving you the freedom to hyper-focus your build's identity.
New Damage Formula: We have completely reworked the underlying damage calculation formula. Because of this mechanical shift, you will notice that your overall damage output numbers will be lower during the later stages of the endgame compared to previous seasons.
Global Enemy HP Squish: To counterbalance the new damage formula, we have massively reduced enemy health pools across the board. The time-to-kill remains fluid, fair, and satisfying, ensuring the game feels better than ever without enemies turning into late-game damage sponges.
New Damage Formula:

Physical Damage Output = Base Physical Damage x (Stance Crit Damage + Crit Damage + Physical Damage Bonus + Stance Damage Bonus) x Primary or Secondary Multiplier x Boss Damage

Elemental Damage Output = Base Elemental Damage x (Offhand damage bonus + Base Offhand Multiplier + Affinity Damage Bonus) x Fire/Arcane/Lightning Damage x Boss Damage x Offhand Modifiers Damage
Offhand Changes
Death Blade: Summon a smaller Death Blade that circles around the primary Death Blade and deals 130% damage. Each time a small death blade spawns, it adds 15% damage to Arcane spike. (Previously 25%)

Lightning Totems: Totems stay for an additional 0.6 seconds and have a 50% chance to pulse with electricity when struck by lightning, dealing 150% damage. (Previously 25%)
Burning Shield: The Shield will stay an additional 2 seconds. When the shield dissipates, it triggers a Fire explosion dealing 500% base damage + 25% more damage based on the shield radius. (Previously Explosion damage was not stacking based on how many modifiers player have)
Carnage of Fire: Impact spawns a scorching fire that lasts 2 seconds and dealing 150% damage. (Previously 100%)
Carnage of fire projectile travels 60% faster.
Rain of Flames projectiles spawn 100% faster and travels 50% faster.

Spinning Blade: Spawns another Axe, dealing 30% more damage over a larger area. For each additional axe, gain 25% additional damage. (Previously 10%)

Dragon Flame: The dragon stays for additional 2 seconds on the battlefield. (Previously 3 Seconds)
Toxicity: Pools last 2 seconds longer and deal 100% more damage based on pool size. (Previously 5 Seconds and 45% more damage)

Now also affected by the bonus damage from Blood Dragons: Dragons gain a 25% chance to trigger a Dragon Burst that deals 200% damage. Dragon Burst deals an additional 33% based on dragon size.

Enemy Scaling & Balance Overhaul
We’ve taken a hard look at how enemies scale as you push into higher Rupture levels. Previously, enemies could quickly turn into massive damage-sponges that hit disproportionately hard. To make combat feel more fluid and fair, we’ve completely rebalanced Enemies Health and Damage across all game.
Damage Reductions
Enemy damage has been nerfed globally across all Rupture levels to make survival feel less punishing and give you more room to experiment with builds.
Enemies Health
We’ve aggressively squished enemy health pools at the top end to reduce the "bullet sponge" effect during endgame pushes.

The Dwarven King
The Dwarven King now appears after defeating Zul, Skorch, and Dark Skorch (with plans to expand this system to additional bosses in future updates).
After every 10 boss kills, the Dwarven King allows you to forge a custom weapon:
Choose the weapon type
Choose the offhand ability affix
Receive a weapon with the maximum possible number of monograms, based on the boss defeated
This system gives players long-term progression and deterministic rewards tied directly to boss mastery.

Quality of Life Features

You can now allocate multiple Elven Skill Tree points at once by holding Shift + Left Click, making build experimentation much faster and smoother.

Affix Reroll
What started as a bug — and became a community favorite — is now an official feature.
Instead of repeatedly altering an item back and forth to chase a better roll, you can now reroll an affix directly, preserving the spirit of the original mechanic while making it clearer and more intentional.

Performance & Core System Improvements
This season focuses heavily on performance, stability, and scalability.
We performed a major rework of core gameplay systems, including:
Full pawn system overhaul
Rebuilt damage number system
Removal of pawn health bars, which caused performance spikes and visual clutter during high-density combat
These changes significantly reduce CPU and GPU load in large encounters, improve frame stability, and allow us to safely expand enemy counts, effects, and future content without compromising performance.
This groundwork also enables future visual and gameplay upgrades.
Audio (SFX) Improvements
We completed a large-scale audio polish pass across the entire game:
Improved clarity and balance of combat sounds, including offhands, bosses, elites, and abilities
Stronger audio feedback for player actions such as dashing, teleporting, leveling up, and taking damage
New and improved sound effects for boss mechanics, including ground telegraphs, projectiles, charges, and elite attacks
Reduced overly loud or unclear effects while enhancing important combat cues
Added variation and polish to enemy sounds to improve immersion and readability
Boss encounters should now feel more impactful, readable, and satisfying without overwhelming the sound mix.
General Changes
Removed the pawn HP bar setting entirely
Improved interaction responsiveness across several systems
Reduced Amenon key stacking limit from 10 to 9, resulting in 10 maximum clears per run (1+9).
Bug Fixes
Fixed various collision and navigation issues across multiple maps
Fixed Toxicity behavior when going underground on Skorch
Fixed multiple references and edge-case pawn issues
Fixed several offhand, boss, and elite interaction bugs
General stability improvements
This update lays the foundation for future expansions while delivering meaningful new systems and improvements today.
Thank you for being part of the journey into Season 5.5: Return of the Dwarven King.

Developer Notes
Season 4.5 focusing on three core pillars: endgame content expansion, player power enhancement, and build diversity. The introduction of Dark Bosses provides new challenges for our most dedicated players, while Tier 5 equipment opens entirely new optimization strategies. The massive monogram rebalancing reflects our commitment to making every build path viable and exciting. We've dramatically increased player power across the board while introducing new scaling mechanics around essence management and secondary abilities. The Underrealm expansion to rupture 500 provides significantly more progression content, while the offhand system overhaul ensures that these crucial build components feel impactful and rewarding to optimize.

Stone and Darkness unite!
In Season 4: Rise of the Necromancer, warriors old and new must rise to meet the challenge.
This season, the Realms crack open wider than ever before. Step through the Time Tear and back into an era lost to ruin—where ancient powers still walk the land, and the Dwarves have yet to fall.
New Races
With the introduction of two new playable races, the mighty Dwarves and the vengeful Graveborn, players now choose from four distinct ancestries, each offering unique bonuses to weapon types and elemental affinities. Build your legend with the might of forged steel or the fury of the grave.
New Necromancer Stance
At the heart of the new season is the debut of the Necromancer class, a master of death who commands a legion of minions. Unlike traditional brawlers or spellcasters, the Necromancer reshapes the battlefield through his undead army—empowering skeletal warriors, spectral beasts, and horrific abominations to overwhelm the enemies of the Realms. It's a bold new playstyle for those who prefer strategy, positioning, and relentless pressure over raw damage.
New Home Fort
The Home-Fort has been reborn. No longer the shining cathedral of previous seasons, the fort now reflects a world mid-collapse—a war-torn stronghold clinging to hope. Cracked stone, shattered banners, and flickers of dwarven resilience tell the story of a people on the edge... and a future not yet written.
New Feature: Expeditions - The Fortune Assistant has left the Home Fort, and Kordrim the Explorer has taken his place. Kordrim will gladly take your keys to the Tomb of Fortune, Catacombs, Grave Digger's Cove, and the Elven Capital - and go fetch the loot for you in a matter of seconds.
New Feature: Multiple rewards in Boss Encounters - Upon entering a boss encounter, Amen'non the Ancient will now appear if the player has more keys to the same encounter. Players can now trade the additional keys with this ancient being, which will use them to enhance the rewards, should the boss be defeated.
New Feature: Boss scaling selection - Boss encounters will now scale the same as Ruptures. After defeating a Boss Encounter, you may choose to battle again in the same level or push higher levels, for better rewards. Upgrading the Rupture Portal through the Home Fort Giant will also affect how many levels you can skip in Boss encounters.
New Feature: Home Fort stash - The stash chests that used to spread out through the fort have been replaced with a single, multiple tab stash. Important Notice: This change will delete all items stored in the current stash system. Players should take out any items they wish to keep from the stash Before downloading the new season patch.
