Character, Portal and Footprint Effects Weekend Sale

This weekend, we're having a sale on a huge selection of Character, Portal and Footprint Effects! You can view the full selection of discounted items by pressing M in game. The sale ends at 1pm on April 26th NZT.

If you're not sure what to get, we've put together some previews of some of our favourite effects in the sale, paired together with some themed cosmetics that we think look great together!

One of our favourite Character Effects is the Golden Character Effect! It visually turns your character's armour to gold and goes great with armour sets with lots of geometry, such as the Apollyon Armour Set, Hood and Cloak!



As for Portals, you can't go wrong with the Zenith Portal Effect! Its pearlescent colour scheme goes well with a myriad of white coloured microtransactions. We've paired it together with the Zenith Armour Set as well as the Zenith Back Attachment, Weapon and Shield!



Finally, for footprints, we've chosen the Twilight Footprints Effect! These Footprint Effects leave a trail of beautiful purple and orange, so we've put it together with the Twilight Armour Set, Helmet Attachment and Cloak!



Thanks for your support!
