Please note that this guide is based on the PC version.


◈ Usage Guide
- Abyss Raid, a new battle content, has been added.
- Abyss Raid is a guild raid where up to 15 guild members can participate together.

 

◈ Abyss Raid: How to Access
- You can access Abyss Raid via Menu ▶ Guild ▶ Abyss Raid.
- You must be a member of a guild to enter Abyss Raid.

◈ Entry & Schedule
- Talk to the Abyss Raid NPC in the Guild Hideout to create or join a raid room.
* Only guild members with raid open permission can create a room.
* Raid open permissions are set by the Guild Master.
* The guild member who creates the room becomes the raid leader. If the raid leader leaves, the next guild member who joined the room takes over as raid leader.
* You cannot enter while in a party. If you leave during a raid, you cannot re-enter that raid.

 

- Abyss Raid has three difficulty levels: NORMAL, HARD, and EXTREME. You can select your preferred difficulty before entering.
* NORMAL: Recommended PWR 330,000 / Monster Lv. 75 / Main Reward: Sigma Crystal
* HARD: Recommended PWR 450,000 / Monster Lv. 80 / Main Reward: Resonance Core
* EXTREME: Recommended PWR 520,000 / Monster Lv. 90 / Main Reward: Lava Core
* You can enter even if your PWR is below the recommended PWR.
* If you are defeated, you can revive at the same location after 10 seconds, up to 50 times.
* The raid will not end even if all participants are defeated.

 

- Each guild can have up to 3 raid rooms open simultaneously, with a maximum of 15 participants per room, including the room creator.
* For example, a guild with 20 members can split into groups of 15/5, 10/10, or 3/5/12 to participate in the raid.
* There is no limit to the number of entries, so players who have already cleared the raid can participate again. This allows guild members who have completed the raid to help those who have not yet cleared it.
* However, rewards can only be claimed once per season. Once you have claimed the rewards, you cannot receive additional rewards even if you clear the raid multiple times.

 

- There is no limit to the number of entries, but rewards can only be claimed once per season.
* Each season generally lasts one week, but the duration may vary depending on the operating schedule.
* Ranking calculations begin 1 hour before the season ends. During this period, creating and entering raid rooms will be restricted.

 

◈ Key Combat Mechanics

- The boss uses the following key combat mechanics:
* Resonance Wave: Some attacks deal less damage when multiple players group together, while others deal less damage when players are hit alone.
* Unstable Core: A mechanic that requires players to destroy the core.
* Abyssal Doppelganger: A mechanic that requires players to counter an attack.
* Successfully completing these mechanics reduces the boss's Break Gauge. Failing them causes heavy damage and makes Arcarion progressively stronger.
* The boss's attacks deal damage proportional to the character's Max HP.

 

◈ Rewards
- Abyss Raid clear rewards vary depending on the difficulty level.
* NORMAL: Gold x50,000 / Combine Kit Selection Chest x5 / Sigma Crystal x1 / Property Reset Cylinder x25
* HARD: Gold x100,000 / Combine Kit Selection Chest x7 / Sigma Crystal x1 / Resonance Core x10 / Property Reset Cylinder x50
* EXTREME: Gold x150,000 / Combine Kit Selection Chest x10 / Lava Core x1 / Resonance Core x15 / Property Reset Cylinder x100
* You must select the "Claim Clear Rewards" option to receive rewards.

- Each character can claim clear rewards only once per season across all three difficulty levels (NORMAL/HARD/EXTREME).

 

- Abyss Raid also offers ranking rewards.
* At the end of each season, Guardians who participated in the raid from guilds ranked 1st to 50th in the combined rankings across all servers will receive rewards via in-game mail.
* Rank 1: Unique Boss Coin x500 / Guild Coin x1,500 / Equinox Core x10 / Property Locker x1
* Rank 2: Unique Boss Coin x400 / Guild Coin x1,250 / Equinox Core x8 / Property Locker x1

* Rank 11-20: Unique Boss Coin x250 / Guild Coin x600 / Equinox Core x2
* Rank 21-50: Unique Boss Coin x200 / Guild Coin x500 / Equinox Core x1
* Ranking rewards are distributed only to guild members who participated in the raid during the season and remain in the guild at the time of ranking calculation.

 

- Each season, an emblem is awarded to the first team on the server to clear the boss at its highest difficulty.
* The emblem is awarded only to the raid participants, not to the entire guild.
