"Gloom of Death": A universal set for Crit Damage heroes. The 2-piece set increases the wearer's ATK and Crit Rate, while the 3-piece set increases damage based on the difference in Crit Damage between the wearer and the target. Ideal for heroes who stack Crit Damage.

"Echoes of War": Ideal for heroes who stack Attack Speed and primarily use basic attacks for damage. The 2-piece set increases the wearer's ATK and Attack Speed, while the 3-piece set further increases Attack Speed and boosts basic attack damage when triggering a Crit. Suitable for heroes like Auster, Orfenna, and Dauntless comps heroes who rely on basic attacks.

"Whispers of the Order": A versatile damage set. The 2-piece set increases the wearer's ATK and Skill Haste, while the 3-piece set boosts ultimate skill damage. It is ideal for heroes like Lorentheel, Daphne, and Lincos who frequently use their skills.

"Oasis Aspiration": Ideal for tank heroes. The 2-piece set increases the wearer's HP and Skill Haste, while the 3-piece set reduces damage taken when the wearer's HP is high. Suitable for scenarios where tanks have difficulty surviving, like the Grave of Venom.

"Tidal Force": Ideal for support heroes who stack Accuracy. The 2-piece set increases the wearer's Accuracy and Resistance, while the 3-piece set has a chance to inflict Silence when dealing damage. Suitable for PVP and City of Trials.

Temporal Vortex: Raging Mode

Season 4 will introduce the "Temporal Vortex: Rage" challenge mode. Raging Mode and Normal Mode are independent, allowing players to participate in both.
Each Raging Mode challenge lasts for 3 days. During this period, you can attempt the challenge as many times as you wish. In addition to the "fixed entry" provided, Travelers can choose any two "optional entry" before starting the challenge. The fixed and optional entries vary each time.
Travelers can select suitable entries based on their hero development.

For example, the fixed entry for this period is: Each time the boss is inflicted with a debuff, all allies' damage increases by 4%. Thus, it is beneficial to deploy heroes who can inflict debuffs. Poison, Burn, and Thunderbolt comps, which frequently inflict debuffs, will have an advantage with this entry. Additionally, these comps can further enhance their advantage by selecting the entry, "The maximum stack of Poison on the boss increases to 60, and the maximum stack of Burn increases to 15." This optional entry further amplifies the team damage.
For teams with lower investments, consider selecting "Characters with base ATK below 1,300 have their ATK increased by 60%." And "When the team does not include Legendary heroes, all allies' Ultimate Restoration speed increases by 30%, and the boss's defense is reduced by 40%." These two entries allow teams composed of Rare and Epic heroes to perform exceptionally well.
"Each debuff on the boss reduces its defense by 8%" is a universal entry that can be considered as long as the team can inflict debuffs.
Among the remaining two entries, "If a single hit deals over 10,000 damage, that hit's damage is increased by 30%. If a single hit deals over 500,000 damage, the increase becomes 60%." is suitable for burst damage heroes, while "All allies' basic attack damage is increased by 35%." is ideal for Dauntless comps heroes who rely on basic attacks.
