Headlining the new update is the Luminess, an action mage who attacks at close range and can cast her skills at the speed of (moon) light. Luminess’ skills can inflict debuffs, and can also be stacked to amplify their effects. Additionally, “Forte” skills enable the Luminess to enhance the unique skills of all party members, making her a versatile and appealing class capable of both damage dealing and support roles.

Tiamaranta Mesa is Update 4.0’s new PvPvE battlefield, featuring ground and aerial conflict, territory control, high-value loot, and resource systems (Balaurea Chronicle). The shift of RvR content from Laphsaran focuses attention on Tiamaranta Mesa, making it a central hub for all activities. This map is also home to two new raids. Meanwhile, new PvE dungeons include the Iron Citadel and the Labyrinth of Echoes, and the new PvP dungeon Cradle of Doom introduces a new time-limited cooperative PvPvE experience with valuable new rewards to unlock.

Elsewhere, The Teva Dimensional Rift Battle is a cross-faction PvPvE event that subjects players to randomized monster spawns and special rift mechanics, with dynamic map changes and quest content to further mix things up. High-value loot awaits players who enter the competition and cooperate with legions.
