Spotlight: Boss Arenas Rework

Boss fights now feel more intentional.

Instead of a single arena type, each boss now has a space designed around how it behaves.
Some will trap you in tight zones, others will hunt you across larger arenas.

Every encounter should now feel more distinct and more dangerous.

Community Pulse

“You have to switch forms constantly: Light kills Dark, and Dark kills Light. It’s not just mindless, you actually have to use your brain mid-fight to survive.”- One of the players said

We see you. And yes, this is exactly what we want to push further.
