This update includes a big batch of new content to play through, along with some changes to existing features and some Champion balance changes. Here’s everything you need to know:

183 New Progress Missions

Split across 3 new Parts, these 183 Missions will test your Champions across many areas of the game - including the Clan Boss, the Doom Tower, Tag Arena, and the Campaign - as well as giving you even more reason to craft Artifacts at the Forge. If you manage to complete every Mission, you’ll also get an exclusive Legendary Void Champion that can’t be acquired any other way - Ramantu Drakesblood.

Ramantu Drakesblood

Rarity: Legendary

Type: ATK

Affinity: Void

Faction: Lizardmen

Ramantu Drakesblood also brings an all-new debuff - [Block Passive Skills] - that prevents Passive skills from working, which is sure to throw a wrench in the works of many common Raid teams.

Aura - Increases Ally Accuracy in all Battles by 60 

We’ve also renamed the existing [Block Cooldown Skills] debuff to [Block Active Skills].

[Block Passive Skills] debuff was also added to the list of debuffs in the following Boss Passive Skills - meaning many Bosses will already be immune to this debuff:

• Almighty Immunity - for most Bosses.
• Invincible Scales - for the Magma Dragon.
•  Otherworldly - for the Eternal Dragon.

New Dungeon Stages

We’ve added 5 tough new Stages to every Artifact Dungeon and Potion Keep except the Minotaur's Labyrinth. The Bosses on these Stages have been given additional Passive Skills: Almighty Strength and  Almighty Persistence. These higher Stages will provide a tough challenge to overcome for those of you that have already conquered the Dungeons, but the rewards will be well worth it. We're excited to see all the new strategies that will be discovered along the way.
