Post-Maintenance Updates:
I. Season 6 — [Season of Revival] Officially Begins
● The new season launches: Season Stages, Season Quests, and the Season Shop are fully reset.
● Season Treasury, Patron Bundles, and Season Engrams are updated.
● The Emanare system resets and introduces all-new Season Emanare Abilities: "Radiant Core," "Relic of Light," and "Firmly Planted."
1. New Season Activity: "Mutated Shield" Launches
Activity Details:
1. Mutated monsters arrive: wielding special abilities and clad in Mutated Shields, with fully upgraded power and presence.
2. Each day, the "Mutated Shield" rotates among the "Extreme Lightning Shield," "Void Erosion Shield," and "Red Flare Shield" — more Mutated Shield forms will be introduced in the future.
3. Light Ability system: countering Mutated Shields requires the matching Light Ability. Earn Light Ability Cards from Strikes and Gauntlet: Blitz to wield Extreme Lightning, Void Erosion, and Red Flare powers.
2. New Season Activity: "The Iron Championship" Launches
Schedule: Daily 12:00–14:00 and 20:00–23:00, an Iron Championship session opens every 30 minutes. Form a 3-player squad and sign up starting 5 minutes before each session.
Format: Each Iron Championship session divides 4 squads into groups for Qualifiers. The 1st- and 2nd-place squads of each group advance to the Finals to face the top squads from the other groups.
Rewards: Earn "Revival Coins," "Exotic Artifact Set Shards," "Attribute Refactor Stones," and other lavish rewards based on your placements in Qualifiers and Finals.
3. "Carry on the Flame" Begins
Once the Season of Revival begins, claim return rewards for your past investments in the Emanare system and Bulwark Ops via Events > "Carry on the Flame."
Emanare Refund Rules:
100% full refunds for all materials you actually consumed in the Season of Awakening's Emanare system.
4. Instant Weapon & Artifact Boost
After the season update, all weapons and artifacts in your inventory at Gear Level 100 that have not reached Enhancement Level 5 will be upgraded directly to Gear Level 100, Enhancement Level 5.
II. New Character Arrives
Mythic Character: Cassian, the Arbiter
"The world is inherently a slaughterhouse, and rules are the only fences humans have built for themselves; fences will eventually fall, but the act of building them is precious in itself."

● Abilities:
1. Signature Ability – Solar Wall: Swing the Arbiter's Hammer and leap toward a target area, dealing Solar damage to enemies. The impact at the landing site raises a [Solar Wall] — 10 meters per side, 2 meters tall — that continuously applies [Judgment] to enemies.
2. Signature Ability – Solar Purify: Instantly heal all allies within a 5-meter radius and leave [Stigmata] on one target ally.
3. Super – Verdict: Cassian raises the Arbiter's Hammer to enter the [Verdict] state. While [Verdict] is active, Cassian hurls the Arbiter's Hammer in mid-range throwing attacks.
