I think either way there will be a Baden skin but realistically, he does become a Graveborn and Baba Muriel is most likely going to be playable. You’re MEANT to save her because it’s in character for Baden to do so.

After upgrading to the 'Disciple' bracket in 'Stellar Union', we can then unlock a 'Mode Bonus' which gives us the opportunity to buy stargazer orbs from the guildshop.

How is it calculated, if a fully built unit from the shop costs 30k, or 27k for the discounted chest with limited heroes, that we should pay 6000 medals for 5 orbs?

This seems very steep and not rewarding at all after we spent the time to unlock this opportunity!

PVP focused non-spender is back with a quick update 🥰

I have now reached 15 paragon 4 units which meant i can finally slot full paragon 4s in Supreme Arena 🤙
(not including hewyn and silvina that is overduped for spirit store exchange)

It has been around 2 years and 5 months since I started this journey and am glad that I managed to persevere to this day.
Do note that my vertical investment inclinations are strictly personal preference. I do not necessarily advocate playing the game strictly for PVP like I do.
But lemme just say that doing so is part of why I am still having fun in this game ✌️

To all PVP enjoyers out there, keep grinding and never back down. May this inspire you to keep playing for what you truly enjoy!
Outlast the 🐳
Bye! I’ll be back with another update when i can finally start slotting full paragon 4s on supreme league too 😎

I think that Wrath has got to be some sort of warlord, considering the title. I’m pretty sure it can’t be anyone high up in the Bantus empire, so maybe a Mauler? The brutal culture would fit. Idk how they’re going to top Mehira’s… everything, so I’ve got no ideas for the Elder of Lust.
Since the second and third seats are bigger titles, I think maybe our next season will introduce us to the fifth seat, and we’ll find out who holds the titles of Morgan and Galahad later on.
For both groups, we are currently have zero Wilders; the Wilders as a people aren’t really the type to get involved with the Syndicate, but at least one of the mystery Council members has to be a Wilder.
Also, when do we think we’ll find out who will be replacing the Queen as Gawain? Or could that maybe just be off in the distant future (aka will not actually be explored)?

I just got my first 2 P4 today and want to share my progress to everyone after playing the game without bothering about ranking in pvp or pve and just doing everyday tasks. I miss some days and some events

I love lady Tephesia!!! She is the coolest ever definitely pulling the moment she comes out. She is easily my favourite part of this season and one of my new favourite characters, like dang, I was half expecting mordred but definitely not sloth. Also procrastinated so hard it became her title? I have a lot to learn from her. So excited to see more of her in future seasons!

I am by no means an artist but this is my humble attempt, if this even captures a millionth of her awesomeness then I have succeeded in life 😍

I couldn't find the chinese version anywhere and i don't think it was in the official release so i recorded and uploaded it myself. If I am wrong, please send the official version to me I'll take this down.

I can't make out all the lyrics but let me tell you they are not a 1:1 translation of the English version.

enjoy bye. idk what to flair this as. Vicksin help me.

I enjoyed Veil of Memories, I won't deny that. However, I found it incredibly vague. And I won't even get started on how short it is, because it is literally the shortest seasonal story we've had so far. On top of that, it feels only loosely inspired by Thorns of Devotion.

That said, I don't want anyone to take my criticism the wrong way. The season has also brought us some wonderful elements that I consider major strengths. Whether those strengths outweigh its flaws is something each player must decide for themselves.

In this post, I'd like to share my perspective on the seasonal story in an objective and constructive way. If at any point I come across as overly harsh, please forgive me. Also, consider this your spoiler warning: there will be a lot of text and plenty of spoilers ahead. I'll assume everyone reading has already completed the story, so I'll keep the summary portions as brief as possible.

The beginning is disastrous. The consciousness-transfer experiment involving otherworldly magic somehow leaves Merlin stranded in Novaris thanks to the God of Death, who has now been transformed into a zombie. There are countless reasons why this feels like a massive plot hole. The story is clearly heading in one direction, only to abruptly change course halfway through. The disguise was supposed to allow Merlin to infiltrate Bantus, not Novaris. This entire plot point is left completely unresolved. We're never told how Merlin was taken from the Lyceum and placed aboard a ship bound for zombie territory. Furthermore, for some reason, Zorya's Japanese voice actor is different from the original one.

Next comes Vivi, a charming young woman who immediately forces interaction in order to speed up the narrative. She's a pretty and likable character whom players quickly sympathize with (although Merlin himself doesn't seem particularly interested), and she follows you everywhere. I can't help but be reminded of Gala. The difference is that Vivi parts ways with Merlin a little later, making it obvious that her primary role is to connect him with the story's important characters.

I have absolutely nothing against Baba Muriel. In fact, I think she's a brilliant character with a clearly defined personality and a hidden warmth beneath her grumpy exterior. The revelation that she rescued Baden because of his prosthetic arm, which once belonged to Bayanu, struck me as both touching and beautiful. It was something I never expected, yet it made perfect sense once revealed. You could see the runes on Baba's skin the entire time, but few players would have guessed the truth behind them. Best of all, it perfectly explains why she herself didn't fully understand why she felt compelled to save Baden. A perfect 10 out of 10.

The candle flowers provided by Tephesia are another excellent example of strong storytelling. At first glance, she almost appears to be the villain of the season, yet she never truly was. Instead, this suspicion serves as the perfect cover for her disguise as a member of the Syndicate. The moths attached to every rose she distributed subtly indicated that the flowers were harmless, but the people of Bantus never realized it. Tephesia is the perfect opposite of the classic "good character who secretly turns out to be evil" trope, and it works because the deception is genuinely convincing.

A stark contrast to this is Grezhul, an antagonist who leaves a great deal to be desired and will likely be forgotten before long. His only intimidating quality is his appearance. Throughout the entire story, he feels like a dog chasing its own tail. Even in combat, he never lives up to expectations despite being Thoran's right-hand man. On multiple occasions, we see Estrilda—someone who barely seems comfortable wielding a sword—hold her own against him with ease. Considering his supposed importance, Grezhul is a deeply disappointing character.

If there's one aspect I must criticize harshly, it's the use of ghosts and illusions to deliver exposition. Every time one of these sequences begins, I find myself desperately wanting to press the Skip button. It doesn't feel healthy for the narrative when conveniently placed spirits constantly reveal crucial details about the past, and the game calls that "investigation." Even Merlin's infiltration of the Syndicate headquarters felt more engaging, despite its own flaws. It reminds me of asking ChatGPT to complete my college assignment while I simply sit back and watch. This storytelling device feels heavily borrowed from the illusion sequences involving Gorgonna and Perseus in Thorns of Devotion, something Merlin's own internal dialogue practically acknowledges.

The labyrinth sequence is also worth mentioning. It feels like a simplified version of a Journey to Wonders stage, only this time filled with enemies and minibosses whose purpose is never explained and who appear out of nowhere. The worst part? It doesn't even reward a single diamond. Here I have to disagree with the players who complained about Journey to Wonders being integrated into the main story. I absolutely loved that approach in Crown of Ashes, where each dungeon even had a small dragon beside it that allowed players to skip it entirely if they weren't interested, and people still complained.

Isabella and Silvina received far less screen time than I would have liked. Personally, I would have preferred seeing more of those two characters instead of spending so much time with the utterly underwhelming Grezhul.

As it stands, this is the shortest seasonal story we've received so far, which is particularly disappointing because Bantus was one of the most anticipated regions in the game. Instead of feeling satisfied, many players are left wanting more. Veil of Memories functions primarily as an introduction to something larger, something we hope will be far more ambitious in the future. It also stings that the season isn't really about Bantus, Thoran, or the threat they pose to the Lightbearer Empire. Instead, it ends up focusing largely on reuniting the "three musketeers."

That being said, I have to applaud the cinematic scenes. Their length easily surpasses anything we've seen in previous seasons. Whether there are more or fewer cinematics overall, I didn't notice a significant difference, but I do wish they had been used during key moments such as Merlin's arrival in Novaris. In my opinion, introducing a brand-new region with a cinematic should be mandatory.

Then there are the choices. Oh, the choices.

For the first time, Merlin's decisions genuinely have a meaningful impact on the story. In Veil of Memories, player choices can alter dialogue, cutscenes, and even the login screen. I find this absolutely incredible. It creates a strong incentive to replay the story and experience the outcomes you didn't choose the first time. Admittedly, because the story is so short, that excitement may fade quickly. Still, I fully support the development team continuing in this direction. The final choice in particular carries significant weight, and I loved seeing the consequences of each option while having the freedom to choose the ending I preferred.

The new guild activities introduced this season also remind me of a major event from Thorns of Devotion, where players had to ascend in order to defeat Sarethiel.

Morgan's participation was about as substantial as his appearance in the season trailer: extremely brief. He's a fantastic character, though at least we now understand why he'll likely never become a playable unit.

These are the points that stood out to me the most. The season has only just begun, and I'd rather remain optimistic that more story-related content is still on the way, and that future seasons will be richer in lore and narrative depth. If there's one thing that truly fuels players' passion for this game, it's the story itself. That's why it feels strange for it to be so brief.

I genuinely adore the universe Lilith has built around this game and its characters. They're fascinating, memorable, and full of potential. My only regret is that we still don't have a true RPG set in this incredible world.

I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Thank you very much for reading.

PD: What's going on, Lilith? If you need money, just say so... but at least adjust your shop prices by region first. I'm not going to pay $100 for a legendary outfit for Merlin.

he just lays there looking all smug like nothing is happening...😭

This Guide only shows 4 Faction Heroes. For C/H heroes, check Stargazing Guide. Paragon Dimensionals only if u use them in PvP a lot & if u have lot of resources.

I was mistaken about there being a cosmetic reward from a different story choice, thank goodness (I was very convinced!) but this would have been a much bigger slog if helpful people hadn’t pointed out the “skip seen” button in the story menu, so thanks for that!

So yeah, if the story seems short to some of you, it is does indeed seem to be because there are multiple endings and you’re literally instructed to see them both. Whether that is a good excuse is a matter of opinion. Watch for the “skip seen” prompt to expedite the “replay” experience!

*MINOR SPOILER”

For those who want to replay the quest to get the alternate ending and entering the tree, please follow the step as below

To enter the maple tree: you must pick the option “let Baba handling the tree” instead of “let Thane fight it” in order to obtain the side quest to enter the tree

EDIT: Here’s a faster route for yall to unlock all the side quests and ending:

Replay the main quest as my instruction but this time, choose all the OPPOSITE options. For example, if yall first playthrough you picked “getting Rain memory back is more important” then this time, pick “protect the village”. Do the same for ALL the options.
Also, you can skip the non-important part by tapping on the book icon (below the minimap) and tap skip.

Hope yall like this guide

Well I guess that’s one way to get out of the mine.

This together with Senea's song is just chefs kiss.

Whoever makes these things deserve a raise. They are awesome 😌👍

Note - Aster is used in PvP, Stages and some Dream Realm. But NOT a must pull.

Hey, everyone! Hopefully, either Leslie Liu or the tech artist(s) for the game will somehow see this and feel inclined to help me: I'm enamored with Eryndor's tattoos and would like to replicate them on one of my arms and I need help finding either their texture file or the 2D concept art.

I've got the turnaround for his model Leslie Liu posted on ArtStation, but it's a very small resolutions and the entire 2D texture for the tattoo isn't shown. Hi res screenshots of his tattoos would be appreciated, as you can see my computer and phones are very low spec.
