• At 10:00 AM on January 25, 2024 (UTC+8), an in-game mandatory update will take place. Please note that the exact update time may slightly vary based on your device's app store (App Store/Google Play Store).

In-Game Adjustments During the Season Transition

Adjustment to Apex Level Inheritance

• The Apex Level cap for Season 1 is raised from 75 to 100.
• Until reaching 25 points, every 5 points invested will unlock the Apex Talent Node. These points bring additional bonuses beyond the basic stats gains.
• Beyond 25 points, no new Apex Talent Node will be unlocked. Each subsequent point invested will yield 2 basic stats gains.

Example: A Season 1 character at level 30 has a maximum effective point of 15. If inheriting 10 Strength Apex points from Season 0, since the inherited points are 10 < 15 (actual effective Season Apex points), the effective points become 10, and Apex Talent Nodes are unlocked up to the second.

Calculation: 30 (Season 1 character level) ÷ 2 (inheritance restriction) = 15 (maximum effective Season Apex points)

10 (inherited Apex points) < 15 (actual effective Season Apex points), thus the actual effective Apex points are 10.

• Once your Season 1 character reaches level 50, all restrictions on inheritance are lifted. At this point, every invested point to the Apex Level becomes fully activated, regardless of the character's level.
• In Season 1, when any season character reaches level 50, all season characters can gain the complete Apex Level bonuses.

 

Valkyrie's Proving Ranks Rewards

During the season transition, we will settle the Valkyrie's Proving Ranks for players in Season 0. Here are the details:

1. Rank rewards will be distributed based on the highest rank achieved among all characters on the account before 4:00 AM (UTC+8) on January 22nd. The rank rewards will be distributed uniformly when Season 1 begins.

The other two classes will not receive corresponding rank rewards.
