Season

Season 5 is Now Live!

Season Gameplay—Arcane Talisman

Demonic mists rise, tainting the world. As wind and cloud surge, the spirits of all beings transform into mysterious Talismans and Power Gems, scattered across the land. Legend whispers that when these artifacts unite, they will unleash wonderful spiritual power. Adventurers embark on a new journey to obtain this power, but monsters corrupted by the mists are coveting this power as well...

Like in previous seasons, "Arcane Talisman" is only available in Nightmare and Reincarnation difficulty. You can collect various Talismans and Power Gems during the adventure. Try to combine them and experience their unique abilities. Also, enemies will be enhanced by Talismans, so get ready to challenge them!
Please check out more gameplay details in-game.
