Arena at the Edge of Time: Chronology on Artix Entertainment

Hey there, heroes!

This week, a new board has appeared at the Arena at the Edge of Time! Pit your skills against the masters of Chronomancy in the new Chronology board!

From all across time, the Chronology board stars mysterious beings who have mastered the magic of manipulating time! The first entry on this board are the Chronomancer and the Chronocorruptor, faced together in the Test of Meanwhile!

Defeat them both for your choice of a new weapon!

If you think you have what it takes to face them, head over to the Inn at the Edge of Time by clicking on the portal over Falconreach.

Also this week, December seasonal items have returned!

The Accursed Shawl has arrived for 300 DCs! Check out previous year's seasonal special items in the Book of Lore!

Also, the Black Friday items will be leaving the Book of Lore banner tomorrow! Today is your last chance to get them before they leave for another year!

ShadowHunter has also been updated! These changes seek to address parts of the class that felt overly restrictive or didn't offer enough payoff. ShadowHunter's Widget and Icons will also receive a round of updates in the near future.

ShadowHunter changes:

Combo Skills:

Hunter Combo is now a regular effect instead of permanent. This will make it recognizable and purgable by enemies, for better or worse.
Hunter Combo duration increased from 5 turns to 6.
Finishing a Combo will no longer put Sword/Gun/Tool Combo on cooldown, though the skills will remain unusable while you are affected by Hunter Combo.
Combo skills will now scale base damage and hitcount based on the current total combo step, rather than the specific combo type step.
- For example, if you use Sword -> Sword -> Gun, the Gun combo skill will use its third tier damage and hit count. (Effect will still be the first tier of Gun combo)
Sword Hunter Combo buff increased from 20/30/35 Boost to 25/40/50 Boost.
Gun Hunter Combo buff increased from 40/60/70 Bonus to 40/65/80 Bonus and Crit.
