Carousel of Death
Carousel of Death is a limited-time gamemode for the event. When you die, you respawn 5 seconds later, plus 5 seconds more for every subsequent death. Victory is achieved when all opponents are dead at the same time. The mode is Single Pick with no revives, no feats and no Gear Stats. All fights in this mode will take place in our Arena maps.
Mask Outfits
New mask outfits are here in celebration of our new Season 6 event, the Rite of Champions. The mask outfits are "Medusa's Favor" for the Knights, "Battle Swine" for the Vikings, and "Heavenly Crane" for the Samurais. Each mask outfit is available at the discounted price of 15,000 Steel (instead of 20,000) per hero when the event starts on May 17th, and will stay available in-game at 20,000 Steel as of May 24th and after the event! You can check out each of the mask outfits in the video below:
