We have a brand new Dungeon, a new way to empower Artifacts, Champion balance changes, and some updates and fixes. Let's dive into what's new in Raid version 6.30.0:
The Ascension of Artifacts and the Sand Demon Necropolis
Artifact Ascension unlocks at Level 38, and allows you to make Artifacts even more powerful. When an Artifact is first Ascended, it gains an Ascension Bonus – an additional stat that can be upgraded with each Level of Ascension. The Ascension Bonus cannot be removed or modified, and does not change even after an Artifact is reworked.
To Ascend an Artifact, it must be at least Rank 4 and upgraded to Level 12.
You don't need Money to Breed Artifacts. You do, however, need a new resource – Oil, which you can earn by raiding the Sand Demon Necropolis.
It's in the Sand Demon Necropolis that you'll face a tough new boss – Al-Naemeh the Sand Demon. He has skills that will ignore your defenses, and he can withstand almost any attack. Unlike other Bosses in Raid however, using this debuff is crucial to defeating him.
In this Dungeon, you can also earn Silver, Ancient Shards, and XP.
You can get more information on Ascending Artifacts and Al-Naemeh by consulting the Game Guides. Once in the Ascending Artifacts menu, press the “i” icon. For a full analysis of Al-Naemeh's skills, click on the "Boss Guide" button in the Team Selection menu of the Sand Demon Necropolis.
We have also added a new Advanced Quest related to Artifact Ascension.
Tower of Doom Secret Room Rewards Changes
Once you've collected all Fragments from all Champions on a given difficulty, Secret Room Rewards change depending on the next Boss Floor. For example, Secret Room 1 will give you Floor 10 Boss Materials, Secret Room 2 will give you Floor 20 Boss Materials, and so on. For example, if the Boss of Floor 10 is Agreth the Void Spider, Secret Room 1 will reward you with Void Eggs.
Note: If you have collected all Champion Fragments on Normal difficulty, you can obtain Forge Materials from Secret Rooms on Normal difficulty. Rewards from Secret Rooms on Hard difficulty will remain Champion Fragments until all Champions of that difficulty have been collected.
Changed daily login rewards
If you have collected all 6 Champions Fragments available through the Daily Login Program, you will now receive Soul Stones from the slots that previously contained those Fragments – 5 Deadly Soulstones and 1 Immortal Soulstone in total .
Auto-Climb Mode in Tower of Woe
Auto Climb mode will allow you to automatically climb Floors (excluding Boss Floors and Secret Rooms) one by one, making your progress through the Tower of Woe much smoother. To enable Auto-Climb mode, check the “Start Auto-Climb” box in the Team Select menu. You can stop Auto-Climb mode at any time during the fight via the pause menu. Auto Escalation will also stop if you lose a fight, don't have enough Gold Keys for the next Floor, or if the next Floor is a Boss Floor.
Extension of Personal Third Parties
More players will now start CvC tournaments in Personal Tiers II and VI, and there will be fewer players in Tier I.
New Avatars
We have added two new Avatars to the Standard Avatars section. They are Taras and Marichka, two Ukrainian-themed Champions who will soon join the fight for Teleria. You can experience these new Avatars by selecting your Avatar in the Settings window.
New festive decorations in the Stronghold
Winter has come to Teleria! Check out the new seasonal decorations in the Bastion and enjoy the holidays with some of your favorite Champions. Galek and Zargala are definitely in the holiday spirit – you can see them face off in a snowball fight for posterity.
