■ Content Overview

- The Call of Chaos is a 3v3 real-time PvP mode where you strengthen your team by selecting [Fate], powerful effects that can change the flow of battle.

- Unlike other World Arena modes, the side that destroys the opponent's Sentinel located in the back row first wins, rather than the side that defeats the opponent's Heroes first. 

- The Call of Chaos is operated on a seasonal basis. Available Heroes and Fate effects will continue to be updated in the future.

- You can access The Call of Chaos by consuming 1 entry currency, [Ticket of Chaos].

- The Call of Chaos proceeds as a Challenge Mode, where you can receive rewards based on your total number of victories.

■ Schedule

- Fall 2026 Season: 8/27 (Thu) after the maintenance – 10/8 (Thu) 02:59 UTC

- Grace Period: 10/8 (Thu) 03:00 - 10/15 (Thu) 02:59 UTC

* The Call of Chaos is integrated across all servers and will start and end based on Korean Standard Time (KST), regardless of each server's time.

* Once the season ends, a 7-day grace period will proceed. Any ongoing Challenge will be considered finished based on the season end time. During the grace period, you cannot proceed with a Challenge.

* Draft Arena will be unavailable while The Call of Chaos season is active and will be replaced again after the grace period ends.

■ Entry Method and Conditions

- You can enter by tapping [The Call of Chaos] banner located at the bottom left of the Arena entry screen.

- Reach Account Rank 40 or higher.

■ Challenge Process and Matching

- The Call of Chaos proceeds as a [Challenge] that ends upon reaching either 7 victories or 3 losses. You can start a Challenge using entry currency [Ticket of Chaos].

- 2 [Tickets of Chaos] are recharged per week, and you can hold up to 3 tickets through recharges.

- You can purchase additional tickets by tapping the [Ticket of Chaos] icon on the top bar or by using Leifs in the [Shop > General] tab.

- Once the challenge begins, you can tap the [Find Opponent] button to find an opponent. All battles are conducted in a Single Round.

- Matchmaking prioritizes finding opponents with a similar number of wins in their current Challenge.

- When you lose a battle, 1 [Essence] is decreased. You are granted a total of 3 Essences for each Challenge.

- Achieving 7 wins finishes the challenge as [Success], and if all Essence is consumed before achieving 7 wins, the challenge ends immediately as [Completed].

- When a Challenge ends, the results screen will appear, allowing you to claim rewards corresponding to your final stage.

■ Hero Registration

- 25 designated Season Heroes are available for use. The pool of Season Heroes will be updated continuously in future updates.

- You can register and use either a Hero you own or a Supported Hero, and it is set to a Supported Hero by default.

■ Hero Selection

- In The Call of Chaos, 3 Heroes are selected automatically and presented without a separate Ban phase. If you want different Heroes, you can use the [Refresh] function.

* [Sentinel] is fixed in the back row, and no other Heroes can be placed there.

* Supported Heroes cannot change their Imprint Concentration/Release; changes are only available when using your own Heroes.

■ Sentinel

- [Sentinel] is placed in the back row of each side, and the team that destroys the opponent's Sentinel first wins.

- Sentinels are immune to all harmful effects, but beneficial effects, passive skills, and Imprint Releases from allies will also not apply to them.

[Guard Gauge]

- Sentinel possesses tremendous durability, making it difficult to destroy directly. Therefore, to defeat a Sentinel, you must first decrease its Guard Gauge.

- Defeating an opponent's Hero, or when your Sentinel attacks the opponent's Sentinel, decreases the opponent's Sentinel Guard Gauge by 1.

- As the Guard Gauge decreases by 1, the Sentinel's Defense, Penetration Resistance, and Speed also decrease. 

■ Fate

- Fates appear in [The Call of Chaos] and are various effects that impact the battle.

- [Fate] can be selected every time a certain number of turns pass during battle, and there are up to 4 Selection Phases in a single battle.

- In each Selection Phase, 3 Fates are given, and you can select 1 of them. If you want different Fates, you can use the [Refresh] function.

- Fates consist of Rare, Heroic, and Epic grades. 

- The Fates that appear for both players will not overlap, but their grades will be identical.

* Epic grade Fates will appear at least once per battle.

[Blessing of Fate]

- Every time you select a Fate, [Blessing of Fate] is granted, and it increases Attack, max Health, Critical Hit Chance, and Critical Hit Damage of all allies.

- You can check the Fates and Blessings of Fate acquired during battle through the tab on the right side of the screen during battle.

■ Hero Revival

- In The Call of Chaos, even if a Hero dies during battle, they will automatically revive after a certain number of turns pass, as long as the Sentinel is not destroyed.

- Revived Heroes enter the battle with fully restored Health, the Hero's Combat Readiness increases by 100%, their skill cooldowns decrease by 1 turn, and all injuries are recovered.

- You can check the revive cooldown of dead Heroes via the tab on the right side of the screen during battle.

■ Challenge Rewards

- Upon completing a Challenge, you can acquire [Tier Rewards] and [Bonus Rewards] corresponding to your final stage (number of victories).

- Stage Rewards will be given according to the designated probability from the reward chest contents.

- As your final stage increases, the grade and quantity of the reward chests will rise, and from 5 victories onward, you can acquire higher-grade reward chests.

- Leifs will be distributed differentially as Bonus Rewards.

- You can check the rewards for each stage by tapping the Reward Chest button in the lobby.

■ Crystals of Purification and Supply Shop

- You can acquire [Crystals of Purification], a shop currency, every time you finish a battle during the challenge. You can exchange them for various items in the [Supply Shop] located in the lobby.

* [Crystals of Purification] will be distributed all at once when the battle ends.

* [Crystals of Purification] can only be used within the current season. Once the season ends, Crystals of Purification will reset.

■ Season Ranking and Ranking Rewards

- Ranking Points are applied all at once at the end of each Challenge.

- You can check the top 100 players and your own rank in the [Season Ranking] menu.

- During the grace period, you can enter The Call of Chaos, but you cannot proceed with a new Challenge. Features other than Season Ranking, Season Records, and the Supply Shop remain available.

- If the season ends while a Challenge is in progress, that Challenge will be automatically completed at that point, and Challenge Calculation will proceed when you log in during the grace period.
