After much deliberation, the Shugo began spreading rumors about the stronghold and luring in Daeva with the promise of a share of the spoils. Thanks to the Shugo Festival Manager's cooperation, a grand festival was held where the Shugo and Daeva could share this new Odyle Drop jackpot.

Lugi are cute, resilient, and gentle pets beloved by the Shugo. After some Daeva began expressing curiosity about them, a group of Shugo developed a program to provide firsthand experience, with the stipulation that participants must first transform into Shugo to avoid scaring the timid beasts. The program evolved to the point where participants may also transform into a Lugi itself, and before long, team battles between the Shugo and Lugi skyrocketed in popularity.

How the siege works

  1. 1
    Dimensional Core Spawn

    When the Artifact Siege begins, Dimensional Cores appear at Artifact locations in the Abyss.

  2. 2
    Artifact Occupation

    When a Dimensional Core is destroyed, the artifact can be claimed.

    The faction that delivered the last strike to the Dimensional Core is determined to be the one to have defeated it.

    A set amount of players from the winning faction will receive Abyss Points as a reward based on their contribution.

  3. 3
    Abyss Corridor

    When Artifact Siege ends, an entrance to the Abyss Corridor will open at the artifact's location.

    The faction that occupied the Artifact can enter.

    You can play for 5 minutes.

    If all of a faction's Artifacts on a specific floor have been captured, a separate Abyss Corridor will spawn at that faction's base.

    Only members of the disadvantaged faction can enter.

    You can play for 5 minutes.

    The Artifact capture status and Abyss Corridor entrance will remain until the next Siege or until server matchmaking changes.
