v2.9.8 Patch Notes

The brand-new challenge mode "Endless Tower" is coming soon, bringing new adventures and challenges for you to explore! This update will adjust bundle rewards regarding Holy/Shadow Dragon Souls and Artifact Empowerment, along with optimizations to the Immortal Outfit, Insignia and Artifact systems, aiming to create a richer and smoother gaming experience for all lords.

 [New Additions]

1. Brand-New PvE Mode - "Endless Tower"

New PvE challenge mode: "Endless Tower"

Unlock Requirements:

1) Server opens for at least 15 days.

2) Castle Level reaches 20.

Lords who meet the requirements can participate in the challenge, facing Sentinels of varying difficulty depending on the season.

Floor Traits:

Each floor has unique "Floor Traits". Please adjust your deployed Immortals and skills based on the specific effects of these traits.

Challenge Rules:

1) You have 5 attempts per day, which reset daily at 0:00 UTC; unused attempts do not carry over.

2) You need to start from Floor 1 and ascend floor by floor. Manual selection is not allowed.

3) Clearing each floor grants Clear Reward. Upon reaching specific floors, you can also claim Stage Reward, including Fragments of Holy/Shadow or Chaos Immortals.

2. New Intra-Alliance Spar Feature

1) Unlock Requirement: Alliance members' Castle reaches level 15 or higher.

2) Feature Settings: A "Spar" toggle has been added to the Alliance Settings interface, enabled by default once the unlock requirement is met. If you do not want to receive Spar Invitations, you can manually disable this feature.

3) Initiating a Spar: Once the Spar feature is enabled, you can invite Alliance members to attack each other on the World Map.

4) Losses and Gains: Spars cause normal soldier casualties and Prosperity loss, but won't cost you territory resources. Starting an attack triggers the "Bloody Rage" state and you'll earn Honor (capped daily from Spar).

5) Team Size: Each side in a Spar can field up to 15 members.

6) Combat Restrictions: During a Spar, you can only attack or rally against your Spar Opponent, and cannot attack third-party targets. However, lords outside your Alliance can still attack you, so stay alert.

7) Usage Scope: Spar only works on this server's World Map, not on other battlefield maps.

8) Event Restrictions: During Spar, you'll be locked out of certain activities on the World Map. Leave the Spar Team first if you need to take part in those activities.

3. Theia's Roulette: New Rewards

New Holy/Shadow Dragon Soul selectable reward, with options to only draw Holy/Shadow Dragon Soul Crystals.

4. Rune Factory Shop: New Items

New Rare Fragments are available.

Removed the option to exchange Pearl of Findings for Energy Cores.

5. New "Quote" Feature in Chat Channels

You can now long-press other players' messages in chat channels to quote them.

 [Optimizations]

1. Forge Artifact Feature Unlock Optimization

Removed the Chronicle unlock requirement for Immortal Artifacts; the feature is now unlocked by default.

Adjusted the upgrade conditions for Artifact Potential:

S0 players can upgrade to Silver;

S1 players can upgrade to Gold.

2. Immortal Outfit Entry Display Optimization

The Immortal Outfit entry is now open by default. Selecting an Immortal allows you to directly preview the outfit, and the outfit can be unlocked once you meet the requirements.

3. Appointment Feature Display Optimization

Optimized the Immortal display on the Appointment interface; Immortal portraits have been changed from dynamic artwork to static scrolls.

4. Insignia Info Popup Optimization

The Insignia info popup will be displayed with different color styles according to their quality.
