A new class and higher progression limits
NC describes Brawler as a front-line combat class using Gauntlets, with combo-based charges. Basic attacks and active skills generate Rage, and reaching the required gauge triggers Rampage.
The same release raises the character level cap to 50 and allows Stigma skills to be enhanced to level 25. These values reflect the July 6, 2026 release and should be rechecked against later notices.
New regions and dungeons
The press release names Morheim for Asmodians and Eltnen for Elyos as new regions, alongside new Sealed Dungeons, Strongholds, and Monoliths.
It also introduces the Expedition dungeon Citadel of the Fallen Daeva and the Transcendence dungeon Abyssal Horn Den. NC states that both require level 50 and a minimum item level of 3,500, with higher requirements at higher difficulties.
Party sizes and entry systems
NC states that Expedition and Transcendence dungeon parties expand to five players and Sanctuary dungeon parties to ten. Entry tickets for Expedition and Transcendence dungeons were removed, with rewards obtained through Odyle Energy.
