NEW GAMEMODE: CATACLYSM
The long-awaited "Survival" mode has entered the open beta stage under the name "Cataclysm" and is now available to everyone! We have temporarily closed access to the Campaign mode during this time.
To participate in the beta, you will need to take a few simple steps:
[olist]
Join one of three Orders and venture together into the Frozen Desert - the abode of the Dragon that unleashes the Cataclysm - and other dangers, such as elementals and ice zombies. And remember - the greater the danger, the more valuable the reward!
The "Cataclysm" mode is recommended for experienced players only. Unite, explore the world, and restore Arcana!
- New territories to explore: a water archipelago and flying islands.
- Frozen Desert - a high-level location with harsh weather conditions, deadly enemies and bosses.
- An opportunity to join one of three Orders to receive rewards and reputation by bringing valuable resources from the Frozen Desert.
CLAIMING THE TERRITORY
Once you place any construction module, he surrounding area will automatically become unavailable for construction for other players. And constructing a Sentinel will protect your buildings from any threats.
Flexible access settings will allow you to decide what rights you want to give to friends or strangers.
MORE DYNAMIC COMBAT
The combat system has undergone numerous changes. Attacks have become more expressive and responsive. Combat abilities from the Skill Tree now consume combat energy, while flame attacks have been replaced by ultimate attacks.
- All types of attacks have been reworked: light, heavy, running, and jumping.
- The use of combat abilities now requires combat energy.
ENERGY AND FATIGUE
Energy has been added to the game as an addition to health and stamina. While actively exploring the world of Arcana, the pilgrim will gradually lose energy points and accumulate fatigue, which will affect their stamina.
To restore strength for new adventures, drink water from a magical fountain or sleep in a bed.
- New parameters have been added: energy and fatigue.
- Beds restore energy.
- Drinking water restores energy.

In the new update, we have extensively redesigned the UI, making it more understandable and practical. Changes have been made to the stamina, flame attack and ability indicators.
