Season
Season 4 Now Available
Season Gameplay - Star Link
Fortunes reverse under the starlight, and the Boss Trial begins! To counter the growing demonic aura, heroes harness the power of the astral realm, further activating the potential of Occult Scrolls, and elevating Spiritual Link to Star Link. Zi Xiao's fellow disciples also transform into Star Envoys, assisting players in their adventures.
As with previous seasons, "Star Link" is only available in Nightmare and Reincarnation Difficulty. Players need to select a set bundle before entering a run and assemble the corresponding Occult Scroll combination to activate the set. Unlike "Spiritual Link," these new starlight set effects are powerful and diverse, with some terrifyingly potent core sets. This season will also feature Star Envoys; find them in adventure to try out the Activation and Reception of Starlight!
Detailed gameplay rules can be previewed in the in-game Season interface.
