Hero Rotation







Greetings, this is Shadow Arena.

To play new Heroes in the Shadow Arena Early Access, you can purchase them with silver or Gcoin, but there’s another way too—the weekly Hero Rotation lets you try new Heroes for free!



What is “Hero Rotation”?

It’s a system that lets you play 6 different Heroes every week for free. These freely playable Heroes will change with every weekly maintenance.



We will announce the 6 free rotation Heroes after each weekly maintenance, so stay tuned to see what Heroes will be playable!

Lahn





“Slaughterer of Kirin Castle”

The child born under the orchid of Kirin Castle was revered by everyone.

Her blossoming beauty and popularity earned her the king's hatred.

She was then forced to runaway to save herself, but lost the love of her life.

Later, she returned to the castle alone with vengeance and slaughtered everyone in Kirin castle.
