 Maintenance schedule

Maintenance details

• – Season 1 contents update.
• – Fix game errors.

While the Season 1 patch notes aren’t available yet, we do know some of the new stuff incoming today.

Karel’s New Weapon

Karel has prepared a new tactical weapon for revenge. This tactical weapon, forged from the Ancestors’ technology discovered by Amon, is the Vulgus legion’s new strategy against the Descendants.

New Descendant, Hailey Scott

Once a guerilla unit supply soldier who gained fame as a legendary sniper, Hailey is now the newest member of the Descendant Corps. Not only can she take out enemies from a distance with her anti-materiel Sniper Cannon, she can also rapidly decrease her body temperature to spew Chill when emotions run high. While Hailey is an admirer of Viessa who can manipulate Chill at will, and is a cold-blooded sniper on the battlefield, she’s also a warm-hearted hero who loves to make snow crystals and bring smiles to children’s faces.

Inversion Reinforcer for Season Progression

Descendants experienced a change in their Arche as they’ve come into contact with Ironhearts multiple times. Their Arche began to draw energy from a destroyed Ironheart. Embracing this energy as a source of strength, the Descendants can now gain new abilities through the Inversion Reinforcers. 

• – Hunt: Improves the Descendant’s basic Stats. 
• – Attribute: Improves the Descendant’s Attribute Resistance. 
• – Recovery: Improves the Descendant’s Recovery. 
• – Survival: Receives a defense buff that activates under certain conditions. 
• – Season: Receives an effect that is useful for Invasion Dungeons. 

Freyna’s Awakening, Ultimate Freyna

Still trapped in the day of the Room 0 Incident, Freyna’s trauma has stopped her time. In Season 1, we follow the story of Freyna who continues to grieve alone. In this Descendant-exclusive story, you’ll explore the inner mind of a crestfallen hero, who is trapped in guilt and self-hatred for surviving alone after failing to save her love and comrades.

New Ultimate Weapons

• – Excava: A powerful and versatile Ultimate Weapon, this Assault Rifle arrives with this update. Also acquirable as a free Battle Pass reward, Excava charges voltage when attacking enemies and uses the charged voltage to fire Energy Grenades.
• – Frost Watcher: Acquirable through gameplay, this Scout Rifle reduces an enemy’s Chill Resistance and increases your Chill Skill Damage each time you hit the enemy at long range. It’s a perfect weapon for Viessa or Hailey who use Chill attribute skills.

The Looming Threat Over Ingris, Death Stalker Intercept Battle

The Colossi still threaten Ingris from behind the Dimensional Wall, and it’s time to meet the most powerful Colossus of Season 1, Death Stalker.

Highest Difficulty Infiltration Operation and ETA-0

In Season 1, the highest Difficulty of the Infiltration Operations will be added. It’s a proving ground to test and polish your optimized builds. Form a team or challenge yourself to more difficult Infiltration Operations in Public Matchmaking. Prove the strength of the Descendants and acquire loot that can only be obtained in more difficult Infiltration Operations.

Don’t forget, Season 1 will be rolled out in two sections, with the first one today, and then the follow up to it hitting October 10.

Once the official patch notes are out, we’ll provide a link to above.
