What you do here

Raid bosses

Four bosses guard their own arenas. Each one calls its attacks by name before they land, so a party that reads the call-outs lives and one that doesn't gets wiped.

  • Echidna
  • Lamia
  • Hephaestus
  • Thanatos

Rifts

A Rift drops you into a timed mining arena. Score points round by round, climb the leaderboard, and spend your Rift Marks in the Rift skill tree.

Mine and prestige

Work through the mines, sell what you dig, and rank up. Prestige your pickaxe to unlock perks, then take it into Rifts and events.

KOTH and PvP

Hold the hill to win KOTH. Raid other gangs' cells, hunt shade packs in the open world, and fight over outposts for their buffs.

Seasons reset.
Everyone starts again.

Every map is a fresh start with its own world and mechanics, the way a new league works. Nobody carries a head start into the next one.
