In addition to the above early patch notes, below is Nexon’s explanations from their original announcement for update 1.2.6 additions:
Void Erosion Purge leaderboard:
- We are introducing a leaderboard for Void Erosion Purge that showcases the top players who complete the highest stages in the fastest time. You’ll be able to view rankings not only by platform but also by individual Descendants. Use the leaderboard to study the most effective builds and compete with other Descendants to set record-breaking clear times!
Augmentation Core Upgrade:
- Craft Core can be accessed through Deslin—yes, it’s Deslin again! This system allows you to combine lower-tier Augmentation Cores and materials obtained from Void Erosion Purge to create higher-tier Cores. With this update, you’ll be able to craft up to Tier 10 Augmentation Cores, empowering your Ultimate Weapons to reach their full potential.
Void Erosion Purge Stage 30
- New stages, ranging from 21 to 30, will be added to Void Erosion Purge. These stages are significantly more challenging than Stage 20 and will introduce new environments to enhance the experience. The higher the stage, the better the rewards, such as higher-tier Augmentation Cores, but the difficulty will also increase accordingly. Prepare carefully and challenge these new stages to compete on the leaderboard rankings.
