Maintenance on August 12: new stat stones and a critical hit rework

Hey everyone, friends!

Tomorrow (August 12, 2026) at 12:00 server time we will run short maintenance. The work will take about 10 minutes.

What is in the update

  1. Two new stat stones have been added to the game. The stones are sold by the Medal Keeper NPC in the capitals, for Medals; one stone costs 1,200 Medals. These stones let you add physical defense ignore and magic defense ignore stats to your weapons and armor. The stats can be added to rings, weapons, helmets, and gloves.
  2. Critical hit chance has been substantially reworked. Right now critical damage does not work correctly in the game: characters with 0 critical chance often land critical hits on characters with 0 Tena. This happens because the Hit parameter currently affects critical hit chance. After this update, the influence of Hit on Crit is greatly reduced, so characters with a low Crit parameter will no longer constantly land critical hits. To keep the overall number of hits unchanged for characters who lose part of their critical hits, the minimum hit base has been increased: the total number of hits stays the same, but they will be normal hits instead of critical ones. And to give crit-build characters back the portion of crit that Hit used to provide, we increased the amount of the Crit parameter on items: where an item upgraded to level 12 previously gave at most +22 Crit, it will now give up to +52 Crit. This means that to make a crit build you will still need to install Crit stats as options in your items. The current balance is not final, but it has to be tested in real conditions. If needed, we will keep adjusting it until we reach the ideal result.
  3. Fixed several collisions on the Pindus map.

Also, we have finished a complete update of the website and an overhaul of its UI. If you run into errors or issues in the desktop or mobile version, please send screenshots to the Bugs thread on Discord or to the general channel.

And do not forget: the project now has a voice of its own, our radio GodsArena FM! Around-the-clock gift giveaways (and there will be even more of them!), news, great music, and a live chat. Stay on the same wavelength with your fellow Gods Arena players; our DJs are happy to welcome every new listener. And once you join the stream, stick around: every few hours there is a separate bGold giveaway that requires holding the viewer count on the stream.
