Akkan Legion Raid[]

After the battle with Plague Legion Commander Akkan in South Vern, Queen Ealyn kept some of Akkan's flesh to research the Legion Commander. However, some of the pieces have disappeared, and have begun to gather in Arthetine. Could it be that Akkan, the bringer of death, has concocted a terrible scheme to bring back his terrifying power?

Aetanople is slowly being submerged by water permeated with the power of disease, and the souls of the deceased still wander the living world, shackled by Akkan's spells. Akkan needs to be stopped before all of Arkesia succumbs to his horrid rot and decay.

Journey to Arthetine to battle the Plague Legion Commander in a new 8-player Legion Raid. The normal and hard versions of the Legion Raid will release, each with their own Item Level requirements.

Normal: All 3 gates can be entered with Item Level 1580
Hard: All 3 gates can be entered with Item Level 1600

'Corrupt Lord's Pandemonium Epidemic' is an easier mode that allows players to practice the Akkan Legion Raid at an easier difficulty. Players with Item Level 1500+ can enter 'Corrupt Lord's Pandemonium Epidemic'. Players can also earn Mark of the Plague in Epidemic, which can be exchanged for a variety of progression materials.

Aeromancer Advanced Class[]

The Aeromancer is the second Specialist Advanced Class. With power of mystical illusion she's able to manipulate the weather to devastating effect on the battlefield, or fight to vanquish enemies with spectacular flourishes of her umbrella. The Aeromancer's Identity is Sun Shower. The Sun Shower Raindrop Meter is filled as the Aeromancer successfully hits enemies with skills, and Sun Shower can be used when the meter fills all the way up— providing dual benefits of offense and defense. Upon using Sun Shower, the Aeromancer's basic attacks and movement skill evolve while active, nearby enemies are constantly damaged, and her (and her party's) damage received from enemies is reduced.

Sonavel Guardian Raid[]

For a long time Levanos, the Elemental King, protected Arkesia by following light and order. He's abandoned his mission of protecting nature, chosen chaos, and has turned into Sonavel, obsessed with anger and chasing only darkness. Sonavel must be defeated before he destroys that which he once protected! Players can challenge Sonavel in a new Guardian Raid, which requires Item Level 1580 to participate.

Players can earn honing materials, Ancient accessories, and a chance to earn a legendary 'Galewind' rune, which drops in the 'Purification Tier 1' Guardian Raids, and can only be collected once per roster. There's also a new card set effect 'Guardian's First Choice I' with the addition of a 'Sonavel card'.
