Fortunes reverse under the starlight, and the Boss Trial begins! To counter the growing demonic aura, heroes harness the power of the astral realm, further activating the potential of Occult Scrolls, and elevating Spiritual Link to Star Link. Zi Xiao's fellow disciples also transform into Star Envoys, assisting players in their adventures.

As with previous seasons, "Star Link" is only available in Nightmare and Reincarnation Difficulty. Players need to select a set bundle before entering a run and assemble the corresponding Occult Scroll combination to activate the set. Unlike "Spiritual Link," these new starlight set effects are powerful and diverse, with some terrifyingly potent core sets. This season will also feature Star Envoys; find them in adventure to try out the Activation and Reception of Starlight!
Detailed gameplay rules can be previewed in the in-game Season interface.

Complete the Season tasks, increase your season level, and unlock the avatar frame "Star Link," Lei Luo's Idle Animation "Thunder Activation," Woodpecker Weapon Skin "Crystal pecker", Poisonous Ghost Weapon Skin "Snowy Plum" as well as emoticons, avatars, and other season rewards.

The difficulty of boss challenges increase, with other bosses' battle skills appearing in the stages.

Affected by starlight, you need to defeat enemies carrying Monster Scrolls to have a chance to obtain the corresponding [Interdependent Fortunes] Occult Scroll.
