Players can also obtain the new Sung Jinwoo-exclusive SSR weapon “Spirit Blade: Snowstorm.” Moreover, a new season of the Simulation Gate is now underway, with higher difficulty levels added. Balance adjustments have been made to select Sung Jinwoo weapons, hunters, and artifact set effects.
Looking ahead, the new “Hall of the Monarchs” challenge content is scheduled to open on September 3. Players face increasingly stronger bosses and aim for high scores. Clearing a stage grants a base score, and additional points can be earned through the Proof of Mastery system that allows players to adjust the difficulty by selecting custom challenges.
The Hall of the Monarchs will be unlocked after clearing Workshop of Brilliant Light Tier 10 and will operate on a two-week seasonal cycle. Each season will feature enemies from the Workshop of Brilliant Light appearing at random, and players will be able to earn a special Title and Frame based on their rank.
