[Dev Note]
The dynamic changing flow of the arena is the main content of this season that aims to bring diversity to strategies. The basic gameplay is the same, but the battlefield will dynamically change depending on the type of objects that appear and we hope these changes will bring out different play patterns with each round.

[Dev Note]
To add variety to the gameplay, new relics have been added to the arena.
Firstly, the “Essence of Ornette” was created with the concept of 'Infinite HP Recovery Potion’ in mind. And as the name suggests, the item is not limited to one-time usage and can be used continuously after the cooldown time. Therefore, once the item is obtained, it is expected that players will be able to engage in strategic play and achieve growth through selling all their health recovery items and purchasing equipment.
For “Tycoon’s Grace,” if you’re fortunate, you can obtain a large number of tokens, allowing faster growth. However, the amount obtained may be as small as 100 tokens, so players will have to decide whether to acquire the relic or not according to the growth status of you and your opponent and the situation at play.
In addition, we hope you look forward to various other items that will be added to Ancient Relics.
