Shadow Arena News

Greetings, this is Shadow Arena.


Here are the updates made to Shadow Arena during the maintenance update on October 22 (Thu).
* Patch Size: 390.93MB (Approx.)

Please launch the game client to receive the latest update to apply the changes below.


Check out all the details below, and we will see you in the arena!



October 29, coming up next week, marks the end of Beta Season 1.

Together with the start of Round 1 of Beta Season 2 on early November, season ranking rewards will be distributed based on the highest tier reached during all the rounds of Beta Season 1.

During Beta Season 1, we focused on Solo mode and polished the game rules.

Now we believe Solo mode has reached a stable point and that we can take Shadow Arena to the next stage as a new team game in the upcoming Beta Season 2.

We are introducing the new “Trio” mode along with a Preeason test and UI in next week’s update on October 29. As this is the last week of Beta Season 1, there are no major content or Hero balance changes.




Formation Break (3)

- Changed the center of the strike from 1m forward to the center of the character and increased the hitbox range from 160 to 200.
- Increased distance moved for all levels by 20%.


To address the issue where the attack did not register when the target is against a wall, we changed the attack range to be character-based. Due to this change, the hitbox range decreased slightly when you do not move forward to use Formation Break, so we slightly increased the distance moved to compensate.




- Fixed an issue where you move abnormally when pressing Auto-Run (Caps Lock) and sideway movement (A,D) at the same time.





Fairy Flame (RMB)
- Fixed an issue where a normal projectile was fired instead of the powered-up version when using Fairly Flame (RMB) right when you stop moving.




Explosive Trap (4)
- Fixed an issue where Heroes are stiffened and the trap does not explode when they jump over Explosive Trap (4).




- Fixed an issue where you move abnormally when pressing Auto-Run (Caps Lock) and sideway movement (A,D) at the same time.




- Fixed an issue where you move abnormally when pressing Auto-Run (Caps Lock) and sideway movement (A,D) at the same time.

Heilang (RMB)
- Added details about Heilang’s damage in the skill description.
- Added details regarding Heilang’s basic attack damage and maximum attack range in the skill description.

The upcoming Trio mode will be replacing Team mode as the new team game. A completely new set of rules made specifically for this team mode will be applied instead of just increasing the team size with the same Solo mode rules.

Death and respawn rules will be changed in the new Trio mode (this is the reason why the graves were added a while ago), a new system to win the game called Tower of Ascension will be added, and new objectives will be added. These objectives will power-up the entire party along their individual gear.

We designed Trio mode for each unique Heroes to collaborate and carry out their roles to execute strategic plays.

Trio mode will be introduced next week on October 29 with the Preeason of Beta Season 2.

We hope you will participate and give us your support!

Greetings, this is Shadow Arena


One of our most important goals is to deliver satisfactory service to our players, all the while finding ways to make Shadow Arena a more fun and enjoyable experience for everyone. And although there are many ways to make the game more fun, one of the most critical is to keep the game’s action intense and thrilling with PvP combat.


Therefore, in order to keep the combat and action intense, and to improve the quality of matchmaking, a decision has been made to merge the current South America server with the North America server.


If you have been playing on either the NA or SA server, you will be able to continue playing on the merged server with your current account. If you have accounts on both servers, certain information from each server will be combined into a single account which you will be able to use on the merged server.


We hope that the battles become more dynamic and intense as players from both regions meet together. Check below for details regarding the upcoming merge.


■ Server Merge
- Schedule: During the Thursday, November 19th, 2020 maintenance
- Servers to be merged: SA server, NA server
- Accounts to be transferred: All accounts created on the SA and NA servers prior to the November 19th, 2020 maintenance.

* The date of the server merge is subject to change. Any changes in schedule will be noted on this notice.


■ Merge Method



- Accounts on the SA server will be merged into the NA server.



1) If you only have an NA account:

- After the server merge, you will be able to play with the exact same account you currently have on the NA server.



2) If you only have an SA account:

- After the server merge, you will be able to play with your SA account on the merged server.

- However, your ranking and tier information will be reset, and all Clan information will be deleted.

- In the case that your nickname already exists on the merged server, you will be given a temporary nickname and a “Name Change Coupon” will be sent to your in-game mail.



3) If you have both an SA and NA account:

- With your NA account serving as the basis, select information from your SA account will be added to your NA account.

> After the server merge, your pre-merge NA server nickname will be kept.

> More details on how the data of your two accounts will be merged will be released in a separate “FAQ on SA and NA Server Merge” notice.



Thank you for all the support you’ve provided to Shadow Arena while playing on the NA and SA servers so far.

As we prepare for the merge, we will work our hardest and best to deliver a seamless transition.
