Brand New Content
I. New Showdown Gameplay: Tempered Inferno
In the Soul-forging Abyss hidden in the Shadowjade Mine, the "Chaos Furnace" that once refined the legendary weapons of the Herald used to be alight day and night. However, under the mad scheme of Omnius, a drastic change occurred.
After Omnius's plan to revert the Five Phases back to primordial chaos was foiled by the heroes, some formless chaotic Qi escaped and seeped into the Chaos Furnace. A bursting of energy flooded out because of the imbalanced Five Elements within, attracting countless evil spirits into action. Thus, a battle to protect the furnace began.
In this crisis, the heroes used Chaos Stones crafted by the Chaos Furnace to forge Curios imbued with the powers of Yin and Yang. These Curios then became their weapons to slay demons and eradicate evils.
However, as the energy of the Chaos Furnace continued to leak, the furnace fire gradually weakened. The heroes who sought more Curios could only wait for the Five Phases True Qi to return to balance on the Morus Isle before they could once again awaken the Furnace.
Defeat waves of enemies, claim numerous prizes, and revel in the power of the Curios!
II. New Showdown Item: Curio
Each hero has two Curio slots: Yin and Yang. One Curio can be equipped in each slot.
1. Crafting Curios
Chaos Stones, acquired in Tempered Inferno, can be used to craft Curios. There are two kinds of Curio crafting: Random Craft and Targeted Craft.
[Random Craft]:
[Random Craft] produces a random Curio of the current season, and builds XP to boost its Crafting level.
[Targeted Craft]:
Once you have raised a given Curio to Lv. 1, you'll be able to choose to craft that Curio using [Targeted Craft].
At the end of the season, Curios will be reclaimed, but Crafting Levels will be retained. In following seasons, players with Crafting levels will be able to craft Curios from past seasons. From time to time we will hold Rerun Events for players who missed out.
During the season, each Curio Crafting level you upgrade will increase the season progress by 1. Season progress rewards include Flux Shards, Curio crafting materials and more!
2. Curio Stars
Curios can be smelted into Chaos Extract, a resource used in leveling up Curios.
Each level gained grants an attribute of a random quality and type (that the Curio does not already have). A Curio can have at most 4 attributes.
3. Awakening Curios and Harmonic Balance
Extreme Curio raised to 3-Star level can be awakened with Tempered Essence.
If successful, the Curio gains random awakened attributes (these differ between Curios).
Failure will result in the loss of the lowest-quality or lowest-level attribute. You can still raise the Curio's stars to get a new attribute. Each failure boosts your awakening chance across all Curios.
With both an awakened Yin and Yang Curio, you unlock [Harmonic Balance] for all your heroes (whether you have the Curios equipped or not), boosting your Luck by 2,000, and your team's by 1,000.
Boosts can stack. Lasts until Tempered Inferno reopens next season.

Hero Adjustments
I. Tianhai
Adjusted the damage multiplier of Great Vajra's smash attack after seizing two enemies from 12.0 to 12.5.
II. Yueshan
1. Extended the duration of Defense Focus after landing from [Scorching Dash: Weaken] to cover the full recovery frames.
2. Slightly reduced the judgment scene height when Yueshan casts his ultimate.
//Dev Note: Since different maps feature various design styles, and real battle scenes tend to be more complex, it's difficult to establish a universal spatial judgment standard for casting transform ultimates. If the judgment is based solely on model size, it becomes easier to cast the ultimate, but this can lead to larger characters getting stuck in narrow doorways, unable to move freely in or out of the scene. On the other hand, increasing the judgment size ensures the space meets battle requirements after transformation, but it also makes successful transformation more difficult. Therefore, after comparing multiple scenes, we decided to slightly reduce the judgment height to accommodate more transformation scenarios.
III. Temulch
1. For the ultimate [Storm Prison: Reload]: When Temulch uses the reloaded windballs after passing through a wind wall, his skill will not enter CD.
2. When Temulch already has windballs in store, passing through a wind wall will not generate additional windballs.
