Greetings, Lightbearers!
Season 4 introduces a major set of updates across core systems, progression, and new content.
From system reworks to gameplay improvements, there’s a lot to explore in this update — and we’re now sharing the full breakdown.
After the maintenance on 03/26/2026-06/18/2026 at 04:00:00 (UTC-8)
Starting in Season 4, the Pinnacle Energy will be retired. We want Lightbearers to dive into the content they enjoy most without being held back by a daily energy cap.
With the overhaul of the core systems and investment structure, the Power Leaderboards will be discontinued in Season 4. Our goal is to give everyone more freedom to enjoy building multiple characters, rather than focusing on the Power Level of a single one.
The maximum Team Level has been raised to Lv.90.
A fearless fighter with bold ideas and an unwavering heart, always striving to steer everything toward the best possible outcome.
Efrideet's character quest will become available alongside Efrideet's arrival. Complete it within the time frame to claim rewards including "Bon Voyage" Charms and Incandescence Ribbons.
New Mythic Weapons are introduced. During the limited-time independent entrance period, Mythic Weapons have a 100% drop rate and can be obtained through Wish for specific Mythic Weapons.

Storyline Content:
Wolf receives a message from the long-missing Harrow, following her footsteps into the Exclusion Zone sealed off for years. However, awaiting them there are greater crises and unexpected enemies...
Original badges and personal profile data will be retained but marked as expired (i.e., data will no longer update). Titles earned from Calamity Ops can still be equipped and will not be dismantled.
The Expanse activity has been upgraded to The Expanse: Endless mode, and the original Expanse activity will be closed. This new infinite challenge mode pushes players to strive for higher and endless stages!
1.Divided by weapon types into four distinct environments: Piercing, Explosive, Sustained (Rapid Fire?), and Impact. Lightbearers can freely choose any environment and switch at any time.
2.Stage count resets after each season update, requiring Lightbearers to retry.
3.Each environment's stages expand from the original 40 stages to infinite, encouraging players to grow stronger and aim higher.
4.Environment refresh cycle changes from 14 days to match the season refresh.
Reward Adjustments:
1.Rewards for each environment are independent.
2.Rewards refresh with the season, without mid-season changes to environments or rewards.

Strength Metrics: Adept difficulty presents higher risks, with Power requirements dynamically adjusted according to season phases.
Rewards: Adept difficulty offers richer rewards. Adept Strike and Gauntlet: Blitz have an additional chance to drop Adept Mod Fragments, which can be synthesized into Adept Mods.
1.Badges are marked as expired, but earned titles can still be equipped.
2.Tasks requiring completion of Challenge Mode in other systems are replaced with Adept difficulty tasks.
Duration: After maintenance on 2026/03/26 - 2026/06/18 04:00:00
Event Content:
At the start of each season, Lightbearers' items and materials will be settled, and resource compensation will be issued. The quantity will be converted into "Seasonal Tokens," which can be exchanged for resources based on the current season phase.
Conversion Rules:
1."Extra Pinnacle Energy" and "Challenger's Keys" will be fully dismantled and converted into rare items for the new season.
2."Elemental Fruit," "Artifactual Cluster," "Metastable Core," "Occultation Essence," and "Ops Authorization" will be converted into "Seasonal Tokens" based on the corresponding ratio.
3.Excess quantities of other upgrade materials will be converted into "Seasonal Tokens."
Duration: After maintenance on 2026/03/26 - 2026/06/18 04:00:00
Event Rules:
1.Within one week of the season update, the system will generate a Past Activity Rating based on the Pinnacle Energy and Challenger's Keys consumed by Lightbearers in previous seasons, and send the corresponding Past Glory Bundle via mail.
2.After Lightbearers use the bundle, the "Past Glory" event will be unlocked. In the event interface, corresponding activeness bonuses based on the rating can be claimed.
3.Current Season Rank increase unlocks additional rewards and permissions, including discounted purchases.

"Elemental Condensate" can be used to activate the acquisition of [Myth Character] itself, as well as enhance the Myth Character's [Upgrade Lv.].
All [Myth Characters] now feature the [Upgrade] function.
The season system has been completely revamped for a more comprehensive seasonal content experience!
Added [Seasonal Missions]
1.Covers four major categories of game content: "Activeness," "Experience," "Activity," and "Upgrade." Completing missions grants "Season XP," "Season Shop Tokens," and "Activeness Rewards."** Achieving mission phase objectives grants "Lumia Leaves" and the "Bon Voyage" Charm L.E. rewards.**
2.After Lightbearer reaches Lv.90, Team XP automatically converts into "Season XP," which increases Season Rank and provides core materials "Trivial Inspiration" necessary for activating [Emanare] nodes (activating [Emanare] nodes directly boosts Power and grants attribute bonuses to participating characters).
3.Added** [Seasonal Shop]**, where players can exchange currency earned from completing [Seasonal Missions] for a variety of upgrade materials.
4.Added [Seasonal Settlement] system, which issues one-time settlement rewards at the end of the season based on the number of **[Seasonal Mission] **categories completed by Lightbearer during the season (up to 40 Universal "Elemental Condensates" (usable in the next season to activate any Myth Character) and numerous high-value items).
Players can activate different types of nodes in [Emanare] by consuming upgrade materials and key materials from Season Rank rewards, thereby granting participating characters significant Power and combat attribute boosts.
1.Following the [Season] system's [Season Phase] progression, players can continuously unlock new activatable nodes in [Emanare], further enhancing character bonuses.
2.[Emanare] resets completely at the start of each season.
3.[Emanare] contains 3 [Emanare Ability] nodes, which, once activated, allow any character to equip one ability to trigger powerful effects during battles.
4.Seasonal activities drop [Emanare Ability Gems], which players can embed into [Emanare] to enhance [Emanare Ability] effects. Gems also randomly provide additional attribute boosts to the current participating character.
5.Players can insert up to 9 [Characters] into [Emanare], activating different levels of amplification effects based on the Power of inserted characters. This boosts the values of activated [Attribute Nodes] in [Emanare], thereby increasing additional Power and combat stats for any participating character. (1) If the inserted character is a Myth Character introduced this season or last season, they will receive additional amplification.
1.Weapon enhancement levels before the new season will automatically convert to corresponding star tiers when the new season begins;
2.After the new season starts, the weapon gear level cap will increase to Gear Lv. 90. When an 80 Gear Lv. 5-star weapon is infused to Gear Lv. 90, its star tier will decrease to 1-star;
3.After the new season starts, as the season progresses, higher-star weapons will drop in activities, and players can also use materials to increase the star tier of existing weapons.
4.The higher the star tier of the dropped weapon, the higher the potential perk level and the greater the chance of obtaining perk upgrades.
-** [Weapon Perk] System**:
1.Enhancement levels and perk upgrades will no longer be part of mod capabilities but will be randomly generated when the weapon drops;
2.Myth-quality perks will fully support perk upgrades, with each perk randomly obtaining up to 2 perk upgrade abilities;
3.Foundry perks will no longer have perk levels or perk upgrade abilities;
1.Mods can now be freely detached and are no longer locked to weapons;
2.Introduced a large number of new exotic-quality mods;
3.Introduced some expert exotic mods (only one mod slot out of three on each weapon can be equipped);
Players can use eligible material weapons to enhance the perk level or transfer perk upgrades to the weapon targeted for development;
Added the [Artifact Star Tier] system to replace the original artifact enhancement system. Artifacts that reach the gear level cap for the season can consume materials to increase their star tier, thereby boosting artifact power;
Split "Artifact Attribute Points" into "Base Attributes" and "Refactor Attributes": Base attribute points are generated when acquiring an artifact and cannot be changed. Lightbearers can only enhance base attribute points through repeated acquisition of the same artifact;
Split "Attribute Transfer" into "Attribute Transfer" and "Point Transfer" functionalities:
Iterated the "Attribute Transfer" functionality: In the new version, a "random attribute not present on the main artifact" from material artifact A can overwrite a "random attribute not shared by both the main and material artifacts" on main artifact B;
Added "Point Transfer" functionality: Supports transferring base points from material artifact A to main artifact B (overwriting the attribute points of artifact B);
Adjusted artifact numerical structure: Significantly increased the value proportion of "Artifact Tier," narrowing the actual power gap between artifacts of the same Power level and increasing the proportion of guaranteed power;
The same "Artifact" item can now only be equipped on one character at a time (can be freely equipped or unequipped without conditions) and can no longer be equipped on multiple characters simultaneously;
The attribute points required for "Artifact Perks" and "Attribute Perk" levels will vary with "Artifact Gear Lv.," with higher gear levels requiring more total attribute points;
The current 85 Gear Lv. artifacts will revert to Gear Lv. 80 at the end of the season, but their total attribute points will remain unchanged;
Starting from the new season, players must obtain higher gear level artifacts through grinding, as the "Gear Lv. Enhancement" functionality will no longer be available;
The numerical values previously covered by this functionality will now be reflected in the enhancement of "Artifact Attributes" and "Artifact Tier" proportions;
Added a "Skill Intensity" attribute to "Artifact Tier." The total attribute points required for tier upgrades will now correlate with "Artifact Gear Lv.," with higher gear levels requiring more total attribute points for tier upgrades;
Removed the "Element Match Restriction" rule for existing exotic artifacts: Characters can now equip exotic artifacts without matching the corresponding elemental artifact;
Modified "Artifact Refactor" to random enhancement: Each refactor will necessarily increase the total refactor attribute points, randomly adding 1-5 attribute points (refactor cap points correlate with artifact gear level).
Explore the Boneyard region and venture into the mysterious Exclusion Zone that has been sealed for years.
Early chapter missions have had their difficulty adjusted, including a reduction in the number of objectives and the difficulty of achieving them.
Upon skipping, a pop-up will summarize the main story and provide a New Light guide, ensuring Lightbearers don't miss out on exciting plot points.
Skipping the campaign will take players directly to the final battle, while skipping chapter content will bypass intermediary interactions and lead directly to essential experiences.

I think if they had planned something with it, they would have said something, but I understand your frustration. I hope everyone gets their materials back in some shape of form.
