Brand New Content
I. Introducing an all-new map: Perdoria!
Seek eternal life in Perdoria.
With the new update, players can now explore our newest map: Perdoria.
New Areas:
- Imperium: The Jiling Emperor, who spent his life in battle and unifying the land, moved his meticulously constructed Imperium underground to serve as his mausoleum, where he now rests eternally.
- Arcadia: Built by the Jiling Emperor for his favored concubine, a Herald, it served as the place of their love story.
- Azoth Peak: A serene and ethereal place where Qi cultivators practice. They pay special attention to cultivating medicine, hoping it will eliminate illness around the world.
- Twilight Pass: Originally a remote forbidden area of Vesper Coven, is shrouded in thick miasma. The people here worship ancient gods and follow primitive rules.
- Skygaze Cove: Formerly a place where craftsmen resided, it was later turned into a dock for mechanical vessels by Feria Shen's ancestors.
Brand New Features:
- Fortune Lands: Appears randomly in each match and has the same environment as the match. Defeating players within the Fortune Land grants Dark Tide Coins. There are three types of Fortune Lands: Resilience, Rejuvenation, and Soul Revival. They will, respectively, provide automatic Remains recovery, Health and Armor recovery upon defeating players, and an extra rebirth chance. Additionally, a Gold Devourer always appears in Fortune Land, defeating it rewards players with advanced equipment.
- Mercury River: Encircles the entire area, with floating piles refreshing periodically. Players can surf on the Mercury River using slide moves. By crouching, players can lurk within the Mercury River, but prolonged hiding will continuously reduce Health. While lurking and equipped with a melee weapon, players can execute enemies using Blue Focus moves.
- Lava: Originates at Skygaze Cove and can be partially controlled by the Lava Conductor. Active lava will burn players on contact, reducing their Health. A player who interacts with a Lava Conductor can activate a portion of the lava in Skygaze Cove, making their team temporarily immune to the lava's burning effect. After activating the Lava Conductor is activated for the first time, additional resources will appear on the lava.
Brand New Mechanisms:
- Sea Firefly: Striking it releases toxic mist, poisoning nearby players.
- Carnivorous Yam: Interacting with it causes the player to be swallowed. While inside, the player is immune to attacks but takes continuous damage and can leave voluntarily. The Carnivorous Yam will eventually spit out the player after some time.
- Spring Source: Interacting with it allows the player to play with water within it, continuously restoring Health. Once their Health is full, they will start to recover Armor.
- Healing Willow: After interacting with the Healing Willow, a link forms between you and the willow. You continuously restore Health while linked, and gain a large amount of Ranged Resist. The Healing Willow can be connected with multiple players simultaneously.
- Charred Wood: When attacked by players, Charred Wood collapses according to the attack direction. Players within range will be dealt damage and become [Vulnerable]. Falling Charred Wood can also destroy certain kinds of interactive terrain.
- Clay Soldier: After interacting, you transform into a Clay Soldier, unable to open your inventory or use items. While in Clay Soldier form, performing an Attack will cause the soldier to unleash a damaging attack with a large range, as well as forcing you out of Clay Soldier form. While in Clay Soldier form, players take normal damage when hit.
- Soaring Arm: Approaching it and using the interact button pulls the player to the starting position of a launch action. Players can then adjust the angle to launch themselves for rapid travel.
- Celestial Barge: Located in the Skygaze Cove, players can spend Dark Tide Coins to interact with it and fire Celestial Fire at any area of the map.
Each match also guarantees Red Weapons, and Souljades. There are also numerous Easter Eggs waiting to be discovered!
New Music:
While in Perdoria, you will hear the following new BGM tracks:
- Preparation BGM
- A new Combat BGM track while in the five major areas
- A Combat BGM track while outside of the five major areas
- A new track for the 6th and 7th Shadow Corruptions while in the five major areas
- A new track for the 6th and 7th Shadow Corruptions while outside of the five major areas

Adjusted Rage cost for single casts of the Ultimate [Enchant] and [Enchant: Group Prey] to 60% from 55%.
//Dev Note: After casting her Ultimate and killing an enemy, Tessa could instantly cast her Ultimate again with the Soulbloom, overwhelming enemies. So we've increased the Rage cost per cast, aiming to reduce its frequency of cast in battle.
