* A new 5★ Knight of Veda ‘Death Crown’ will now be available!



“Sorry to keep you waiting”

Fated to reign, the King of the Living and the Dead was named to symbolize grand missions and numerous destinies. But none of that matters to him. From the moment he was born, he was destined to take on the great task. And he only moves forward in silence, following his own will.

- Death Crown is a close-range tank with a dual attribute of Darkness and Fire, wielding a longsword that converts some of its damage into defense and uses debuffs to weaken enemies. The normal skill “Darkness Tear” allows him to approach enemies instantly and deal DMG, while also increasing Death Crown's tenacity. His signature skill “Judgment of Death” leaps into the air and lands on enemies, dealing AoE damage, removing buffs from enemies and preventing them from getting new buffs for a short time. It also creates a field around Death Crown that increases resistance for allies and decreases resistance for enemies.
