Element Refinement Update – Customize Your Core, Unleash Your Power!
Star Fire: Eternal Cycle · published
💥 Another Major Feature Arrives!
We know many of you have experienced this:
you finally get the perfect Core affix, but the element isn’t what you want.
Well, that problem is now officially solved!
🧬 New Feature: Element Refinement
After the update, a brand-new button — “Refine Element” — will appear in the Core Reforge menu inside the Core Synthesizer shop.
This option allows you to reroll a Core’s elemental type without changing its core affix!
Even better — this process does not consume in-run resources, only meta resources (costs 60 Dark Crystals, with no increasing cost).
Your Dark Crystals have found a new purpose — and your builds just got stronger!
We can’t wait to see players push even higher floors in Endless Mode!
