I. Gadrien's Tales
An all-new season-based game mode, Gadrien's Tales, is coming soon!
The first beta season begins on 11/01 00:00 (UTC-8) and runs through 12/31 (UTC-8). The final week of the season is the Off-Season. During this period, you can claim earned rewards and browse the Gallery, but exploration is unavailable.
Map Exploration
1. Set out from the spawn point and complete Piece Events along the way to unlock routes and explore new areas.
2. Most Piece Events consume Gadrien's Tales Stamina. You receive a set amount of Stamina at the start of each season, and Stamina is restored every few hours thereafter. Stamina stops restoring once it reaches the cap, so plan your exploration route and challenge order carefully.
3. During the exploration, you will encounter story choices, battles, dice checks, resource-gathering events, and more. Your choices may lead to different outcomes and rewards.
4. Defeat the current area's Boss to unlock the route to the next area. Explore every area, challenge the final Boss, and strive for a higher score.
5. Collect special items in Calamity Gates to unlock additional tags for the final Boss and affect your final challenge score. Rumor has it that something unexpected may happen after the final Boss is defeated...
Cards and Combat Enhancement
1. Explore the map, complete events, and defeat enemies to obtain different cards. Obtaining a duplicate card upgrades the card you already own.
2. Equip cards to strengthen the corresponding lineup and gain an advantage in future battles.
3. Card effects only activate when the Lord for the corresponding lineup is deployed. Build your lineup and card set based on each challenge.
4. Some cards and upgrade resources are rare, so choose carefully based on your current exploration progress.
Season Progression & Rewards
1. Explore the map and complete Season Quests to earn Season EXP, increase your Season Level, and claim the corresponding rewards. Grand prizes include an exclusive Aracha Aspect, Aspect enhancement items (currently available only in this mode), and an exclusive Animated Avatar Border.
2. Challenge Calamity Gates, area Bosses, and the final Boss, and discover treasure chests to earn more Season EXP.
3. At the beginning of each new season, map exploration, Gadrien's Tales Stamina, quests, and other seasonal progress will reset.
Prepare your lineup and cards, then set out from the spawn point to uncover the secrets hidden deep within the map!
II. New Mode: The Bone Diaries

IV. New Enhancements for Hero Aspects
Hero Aspect Enhancement is now available. All unlocked Aspects can be enhanced, granting attribute bonuses.
1. Enhancement Rules:
(1) Enhancement unlocks after an Aspect is activated.
(2) A hero's two Aspects share one set of talents. The talents are divided into left, center, and right sections. Left-side talents belong to the Red Aspect, right-side talents belong to the Blue Aspect, and center talents are shared.
(3) Upon activation, left- or right-side talents only apply to their corresponding Aspect, while shared talents affect both Aspects.
(4) Materials required to activate talents can be obtained through the [Gadrien's Tales] mode.
(5) Talents have the following types:
Attribute Talents: Grant attribute bonuses upon activation.
Enhancement Talents: Enhance the corresponding Aspect's base passive effect upon activation.
Shardstone Talents: Unlock Shardstone socketing upon activation. Only Shardstones of the matching shape can be socketed.
2. Shardstone Details:
Aspect Shardstone can be obtained in [Gadrien's Tales] and other events. There are 3 shapes of Shardstone:
"Diamond Shardstone" can be socketed into Fighter and Tactician Aspects.
"Pentagonal Shardstone" can be socketed into Defender and Healer Aspects.
"Hexagonal Shardstone" can be socketed into Marksman and Mage Aspects.
The Shardstone's rarity determines the value of its Primary Attribute and Secondary Attributes, as well as the number of Secondary Attributes.
Removing a socketed Shardstone consumes Diamonds.
3. Saving Aspects:
(1) Saving or updating an equipment plan also saves the hero's currently equipped Aspect.
(For already saved plans, equip an Aspect and save or update the plan again to record the Aspect data.)
(2) After a hero equipped with an Aspect completes a battle, Auto-fight data automatically saves the equipped Aspect and attribute information.
(3) In some modes (Titanic Ruins - Matrix I, Guild War, etc.), updating gear in a team also updates the hero's currently equipped Aspect.
V. New Arena Season Adjustments
Starting with the new Arena season on 11/16/2026 (UTC-8), Arena will switch to new stages and introduce new combat mechanics.
[Stage Adjustments]:
Slightly adjusted the monster spawn pacing in the first 8 waves and consolidated the existing waves into 8 waves.
[New Mechanics]:
After Wave 8, you will enter [Endless Onslaught]. In [Endless Onslaught], monsters become enhanced and spawn in endless waves, with each wave containing a fixed number of monsters. The next wave will not appear until you have defeated all monsters on your side of the battlefield. When a monster dies, it releases a projectile that directly attacks the opponent's Base, dealing DMG.
[Lineup & Auto-fight Records]
After the new season starts, the new stage will only carry over your lineup data. Your Auto-fight records will be cleared, and the defense lineup will be under system take-over during battle. Please adjust your attack and defense lineups accordingly.
