The mist over Kalodoro is turning gold and green again, warriors, the forest itself is stirring, and something ancient is waking up beneath the roots.
Event Duration: Summer Solstice Preparation 13.08 – 22.08.2026 | Summer Solstice Festival 23.08 – 26.08.2026
🎁Bonus Code: VIRIDIS
Contains: 10x Multitool, 50x Solar Coin, 50x Lockpick
Valid until 26.08.2026
New Shadow Soul: Viridis the Sylvan Treant
A new Nature-type Shadow Soul joins your roster this Solstice: Viridis the Sylvan Treant, a spirit of living wind and green fire, summonable with a 30 second cooldown.
While Viridis is active, she grants you and your allies around her the Wind’s Blessing buff:
- +25% Final Damage
- +6% Final Damage Reduction
- +10% Maximum Health
New Stat: Final Damage Increase
Viridis introduces a new stat to your character panel: Final Damage Increase.
Unlike other damage bonuses on your gear, Final Damage Increase is a fully independent damage multiplier. It does not merge or share diminishing returns with any of your existing damage stats: it applies as its own separate ×(1 + x%) step at the very end of the damage calculation. Multiple sources of Final Damage Increase (such as Wind’s Blessing) stack additively with each other before that final multiplier is applied.
You’ll also see new Fire, Ice, Lightning, Poison, and Physical Damage Increase rows added to the Offense section of your character panel alongside it.
Sylvan Windrunner Set
Viridis’s matching set, the Sylvan Windrunner set, is crafted with Verdant Essence Shards (see How To Obtain below) and consists of:
- Sylvan Heart Pendant (Amulet)
- Girdle of Evergreen (Belt)
- Verdant Canopy Mantle (Cloak)
All three pieces are crafted with their base values and enchantments at 100% of maximum.
The set carries a single 3/3 bonus, identical for all classes:
- Wind’s Blessing’s effect on you is doubled: +50% Final Damage, +12% Final Damage Reduction, +20% Maximum Health (your allies still receive the standard Wind’s Blessing values).
- You gain Wind’s Guardian: if a hit would bring your Health to 0, Viridis sacrifices herself to negate the damage. You become immune to damage and all negative effects for 3 seconds and gain 30% movement speed. This can trigger once every 300 seconds.
