II. Showdown's New Event Mode: Skyfall Cataclysm
Chaos descends on Lin'an. The Nexus Gate opens. Heroes raise their blades to cut down the Enchanted, dispel the darkness, and restore peace to the mortal world.
1. Basic Rules
Chaos seeks to corrupt Lin'an City. Heroes must wipe out monsters under the pressure of the chaotic Shadow Corruption, grow stronger, and finally pass through the Nexus Gate to defeat the Enchanted boss within and dispel the chaotic corruption.
Some Showdown heroes are available in this mode. None of the Showdown out-of-game progression carries into this mode.
· Each match randomly assigns a weakness to the final Enchanted Boss (weak to Melee/Element/Ranged). Plan your route based on your spawn location, the Boss's weakness, and the resource stronghold drop tendencies for that match.
· Clear an entire resource stronghold or defeat an Elite/Boss monster to obtain Souljades from stronghold chests. These Souljades apply to your in-match gear.
· Defeat monsters to gain EXP and raise your team Level. Each resource stronghold has a recommended Level, attacking one above your team Level will be extremely difficult.
· The Realm of Eclipse appears after a set time each match. Challenge the boss inside for generous rewards! If you fail, well... there's always the next run!
· In the late game, a Nexus Gate leading to the final Enchanted Boss appears within the safe zone. Watch the timer and head there. As Shadow Corruption spreads, the area will be affected as well.
· There are also some surprise items in the scene waiting to be discovered!
2. Out-of-Game Progression
Skyfall Cataclysm progression only takes effect in this mode.
· Complete matches or quests to earn "Calamity Crystals", used in the Skyfall Fateboard system to unlock fateboards and boost strength.
· Defeating monsters may also yield "Lingering Artifacts". One artifact can be activated per match for powerful extra effects.
3. Fatigue and Drops
Skyfall Cataclysm boosts only take effect in matches, but Fatigue can still be spent to obtain various Showdown progression materials and secure the current version's top-tier set immediately.
Skyfall Cataclysm offers two difficulties with different Fatigue costs, but Souljade drop rates are the same across all stages.
Obtained after the first clear:
[Threefold Gathering], [Four Spirits Converge], [Thunderpull], [Thunderproof]
Stage drops:
[Element Surge], [Thunder Charge], [Forsaken Force], [Tempered Force], [Dual Spirit Marks], [General·Sap]
Plus three new [Move] Souljades, which in the current version can only be obtained from Skyfall Cataclysm (effects vary by Souljade element):
[Spear·Azure Dragon Break]: The Vertical Strike after Spear Horizontal Finishers, a missed Dragonslayer, or a missed Heartstopper Kick changes, and deals extra Frostbite Accumulation. A Dodge after a Perfect Dodge or Defuse (Counterattack) hit can also chain into Azure Dragon Break with increased damage.
[Katana·Thunderstorm]: Alters Katana's charged Horizontal Strikes and deals extra Frostbite Accumulation. A Dodge after a Perfect Dodge or Defuse (Counterattack) hit can also chain into Thunderstorm with increased damage.
[Dual Blades·Octa-Slash Blade]: Alters the Dual Blades' Vertical Strike after a charged attack and deals extra Frostbite Accumulation. During Octa-Slash Blade move, Dodge and launch a Vertical Strike to continue the Octa-Slash Blade move. A Perfect Dodge instantly unleashes the finishing blow.
