New Season
Enjoy brand new content in Season 1+, “Stars Reignited”. Players reaching the end of Season 1 “Burning Stars and Dragon Calls” and Season 1+ “Burning Stars” will enter a new Season with these amazing new additions:
- New map layout: Links between Regions have been changed, bringing a new strategic dimension to Alliance gameplay.
- New starting points: Areas in starting Regions now have more plentiful resources and more points to contest.
- New Pass modes: Semi-Protected Passes can only be attacked by Alliances who have occupied a Behemoth Lair within the Pass’s Region, changing the pace at which the map opens up and protecting your Affiliated Region .
- New Village gameplay: Raid Villages owned by your Alliance to gain various powerful buffs.
- New challenges and opportunities: Higher-level Resource Points and Darkling Forts are available for you to raid.
New ways to grow
- In Season 1+, Epic Heroes can reach 5 Stars, while Legendary Heroes can reach 6 Stars. Powerful new buffs allow you to mitigate your opponent’s ATK or penetrate their DEF.
- Heroes will be able to gain EXP through PvP battles. This feature will be enabled as the Augurstone progresses. Once Heroes reach Level 50, they can only level up to Level 60 through this method or via gathering (if they possess the relevant Talent).
Changed the way Heroes gain EXP when gathering with the Talent Earth’s Grace:
- Before: When a Legion finishes gathering resources, the Hero receives EXP equal to 2.0% of the number of resources gathered, up to a maximum of 20,000 EXP per day.
- After: When a Legion finishes gathering resources, the Hero receives EXP equal to 0.4%/0.8%/1.2%/1.6%/2.0% of the number of resources gathered, up to a maximum of 4000/8000/12,000/16,000/20,000 EXP per day.
Added Season tags for Heroes. After finishing the first Season, Heroes’ tags will show which Season they belong to.
A more dynamic exploration experience
- In Season 1+, all Mist on the map of Tamaris has been dispelled. You no longer need to deploy Scouts to dispel the Mist.
- Season 1+ introduces new gameplay centered around occupying Villages. Instead of visiting Villages to unlock narrative content, you will be able to see all Village-related narrative content in the Tales section.
- Other points of interest (Camps, Caves, Treasure Map Fragments etc.) will be reset. Any exploration rewards that you have not claimed during the current Season will not be available in Season 1+. Please make sure to explore as many points of interest as you can before the current Season ends.
More Enjoyable Events
- The new Riches of the Forest event is coming to Season 1+—that Artifact you’ve had your eye on could be yours before you know it!

Rebalanced Rally/Garrison talents:

In a Fair Fight, all Unit Skills are disabled, and the attributes of Infantry, Cavalry, Marksman, and Magic units of the same level will be adjusted to the same values.
- The talent “Kingsguard” is now “Fair Defense”: While serving as Garrison Captain, you can force the enemy Rallied Army into a Fair Fight. In a Fair Fight, all Unit Skills are disabled, and the attributes of Infantry, Cavalry, Marksman, and Magic units of the same level will be adjusted to the same values.
- Adjusted Ordo’s Talent to align his Foundation Talent with those of other non-gathering heroes and removed the Talent Earth’s Grace.
Fixed issues where Legions would be blocked while marching. Rules for marching while in battle have been standardized as follows:
- Adjusted the battle status display: once your Legion enters battle with another Lord’s Legion, the name of your Legion will turn red and become visible to all non-friendly Lords.
- Changed the rules for intercepting Legions: Legions with red names will automatically intercept all non-friendly marching Legions and enter battle with them at the moment of interception.
