A new season of "Pantheon of Heroes" is launching in the Russian version of MMORPG Lost Ark

The Russian publisher of Lost Ark has rolled out details for the March patch: a fresh season of the Pantheon of Heroes mode is coming, and some of the rules have been twisted. The arena reopens — but expect a different feel this time.

Boss fights will drop special orbs that change how encounters play out; these items now carry more direct influence on a match. Also, entry requirements are getting stricter: GS will be bumped up to 1640, so you'll need higher gear to queue in. A little frustrating for casual players, perhaps, but that’s the update.

Regalia mechanics were overhauled. Instead of the old six-set approach, each regalia will now provide a single, distinct effect. There are five skill lvls to work through: lvls 1–4 contain three stages each, while lvl 5 expands to four stages. To unlock the next stage you must upgrade two regalias to SS rank — yes, both of them.

Finally, the patch adds a way to pin your top skills specifically for the Trial of the Gods mode, and the reward pool gains two new orbs. Small changes, but they shift the meta in places; whether that’s better or worse depends on how you like to play.
