The details for this update are as follows:

Brand-new content!
I. Brand-new System: Congeneric Weapon System

Heavy raindrops hit autumn leaves. The universe is set in Immortal's Mountain.
In the new version, we will bring you "the origin of all melee weapons" - Staff. Come and try it out for yourself!

2. Congeneric Weapons
One produces two; two produce three; three produce all.
The new weapon "Staff" and "Spear", which you're already familiar with both belong to the category of "Long-handle Weapon", and are called as Congeneric Weapons. Though trying to lower the starting difficulty of the new weapon as much as possible, we will still bring you a brand-new combat experience and the fun of the game.
(1) Congeneric Strike: Staff has the same horizontal and vertical strike combos as Spear.
(2) Congeneric Souljade: [Spear Sap] is renamed as [Long-handle Weapon Sap] and is now a shared Souljade for Staff and Spear together with [Dual Ring].

3. New Item: Crafting Hammer
Like martial arts itself, weapons are diversified as well.
Added a new in-game item named [Crafting Hammer], which can be used to switch Congeneric Weapons.

III. Brand-new Mechanism: Enigmatic Rift
1. Interaction with Enigmatic Rift will teleport players to the indicated location, with a CD of 18 sec (independently counted for each player).

3. Enigmatic Rift only appears in Yushan Ruins.

IV. Brand-new Weather
1. Added a brand-new weather to Holoroth: Starry Night (in place of Night).
2. In Starry Night, players will encounter a new weather event: Meteor Rain.
During the Meteor Rain, numerous meteors will fall from the sky, causing damage within an area. Where the meteor crashed, a stardust will remain for a while. Attacking the stardust helps to restore a certain amount of Rage for all units within range. And new Troves will appear in the area of Meteor Rain and disappear after it ends.
