Season 27 Part 1: Emberbloom Cycle Patch Notes

Development Update
Season 27 is here!

A brand new Druid class with shapeshifting playstyle, a phoenix-themed Crucible, rotating dungeon events, fresh shinies, Battle Pass rewards, exclusive titles, cosmetics, and a batch of fixes and QoL updates.


The Druid

Druid is a new class based around the concept of shapeshifting into animal forms using their ability the Sigil. 

Sigils allow the druid to transform after they have built up enough meter through casting your ability or hitting enemies with your weapon. When transformed the druid will gain improved attacks, stat bonuses, and other effects at the cost of some of your weapons range. The druid has a wide range of transformations available through it’s UTs that let you build very different playstyles and class dynamics. The Shark form for example allows the druid to become a stealthy rushing class like the rogue while the Golem form allows the druid to become a tanky wall that can recover and reduce incoming damage.

The druid uses the unique combination of Wand and Leather Armor. The wand allows the druid to pierce through many targets to help build up their transformation meters while having its low damage more than compensated for when in a transformation. Leather armor allows the class to be more durable than most ranged classes for when they move to closer range in their animal forms and provides some additional Dps options for the druid to utilize.

The class will be launching with numerous abilities each allowing you to change how you play. These abilities are as follows:

Tiered Sigils

The standard set of sigils the druid gets access to. These fire a single large piercing projectile when untransformed and grant a large amount of attack, defense, and an additional bite attack when transformed. 

Sharktooth Sigil

Dropping from the ocean trench, this sigils allows the druid to take on a stealthy rushing playstyle. The ability fires a line of sharktooth projectiles and grants a short burst of stealth while untransformed. When transformed the ability fires even more projectiles and grants a large amount of Speed, Dex, improved stealth, and the lethal strike buff.

Silken Sigil

Dropping from the Crawling Depths, this sigil is a nice utility and slowing tool. It fires three slow moving web projectiles that inflict slow to any enemies hit. When transformed this sigils gives additional max health and attack and fires twice as many web projectiles. In addition to this you unleash a poison burst on nearby enemies that slows them and causes them to take additional damage from you.

Draconic Insignia

Dropped from the Ivory Wyvern, the insignia fires large fireball projectiles with high damage and wis scaling. When transformed the fireballs get even stronger and the druid gets some mana recovery, a large amount of wisdom and a fire breath attack when they shoot their weapon.

Swarmlord’s Sigil

Dropped in the Nest, the Swarmlord’s sigil is all about dealing high DPS. The sigil fires a burst of projectiles in front of and around the player that scale on dps stats, when transformed the druid gains a large amount of dex and att and fires many more projectiles.

Crystalline Sigil

Dropping from the Crystal Entity, this sigil allows the druid to become a heavy tank. It fires a shotgun of crystal shard projectiles that scale on defense and grants a health regen buff. When transformed it fires even more shots and grants the druid large amounts of def and att and massively increases the health regen.

Sigil of the Eagle

Part of the Agent of Oryx set of abilities, this sigil provides additional shots alongside your main weapon. When transformed the druid gains Dex and Spd and fires both more and faster shots with their weapon.

Druid Skins

To properly welcome this new class, we’ve prepared a dedicated selection of skins available at launch. These cosmetics are designed to capture the spirit of the Druid.This is an overview of all cosmetics we wanted to deliver.

These skins are not affecting the transformation of the class.

Here’s how you can obtain them:

  • Skins have been added to their related and existing Collection Chests.
  • Others will be available through the current Battle Pass.
  • Additional skins will be available in the Shop or the Wardrobe.
  • The Exalted Druid Skin will not be sold.
  • The Mini Mechanical Raptor Druid Skin is related to his ST set

Battle Pass

As you progress, you’ll grab 700 Gold to spend in the Shop, plus the fiery Adult Phoenix Pet Stone to flex the season properly.

You’ll also get access to the Pyre Forged Arsenal, letting you choose from specific season UTs instead of leaving it up to luck. 

On top of that, Phoenix Blaze and Phoenix Embers chests are packed with QoL items, pet food, and UTs, with Embers guaranteeing at least Uncommon rarity.

We’ve updated the reward pool for the quests known as Celestial Stones Quests. Moving forward, these Celestial Garments Quests will feature a rotating selection of returning skins from the past.
Check the quest at the Tinkerer to see the new rewards available in this season!


Missions

The new season is coming with a new structured progression designed to guide players through objectives and rewarding milestones. 

The tree is divided into four distinct paths, including dedicated paths for all characters, seasonal characters, and crucible characters, each offering challenges and progression opportunities. Players can unlock exclusive emotes, unique titles, and valuable quality-of-life items. The Mission Tree also serves as a way to accelerate Battle Pass progression, making every completed objective even more rewarding.

Note: A Seasonal Vault Unlocker is available in the all characters path. If claimed on a regular character, it converts to a regular Vault Chest Unlocker upon leaving the Vault after claiming it from the Gift chest.

The last path is dedicated to Druid characters, with a new set of class limited missions in the main Mission Tree.

For the first time since the introduction of colored titles, we are adding a Blue Title, a distinction reserved for those who demonstrate true dedication and full mastery of the Druid class.

This is meant to be something very unique. To make it worthy of its prestige, the difficulty has been set higher than anything we’ve introduced before.

By collecting the required Title Tokens through these missions, players will be able to unlock the Blue Title “the Exalted Druid”. The token exchange is done with the Tinkerer in the Daily Quest Room.

We’ve also added an additional distinction for dedicated Druid players this season.

Players who complete 50 dungeons at difficulty 5 or higher during the season as a Druid will unlock a Silver Title “the Druid Aspirant” as a reward.

These missions are designed as a class challenge, created specifically for players who have chosen to walk the path of the Druid. They are more demanding and aspirational, rewarding dedication, and deep understanding of the class.

They’re meant to celebrate the pioneers of the Druid class.

If you’re among the first, you’ll earn exclusive rewards that mark your accomplishment and your place among the Druid elite.

Note: Both titles can be equipped on other classes once unlocked
