On the 24th, 'Arthdal Chronicles: Three Factions' (hereinafter Arthdal Chronicles) dropped its massive September update. The patch introduces the 'Holy Knight' class, a class-swap ticket, the new 'Boost Server', the Alliance Raid PvE content, and a flurry of events to keep everyone busy.

The star of the show is clearly the Holy Knight. This heavy-armour class wields a two-handed longsword, yet manages to strike from a distance. Thanks to divine protection, the Holy Knight boasts impressive survivability. With gauge-based skills like 'Spatial Sword' and 'Master of the Divine Sword', players can switch between melee and ranged combat while even providing shields to allies—a rather versatile kit.

The new class-swap ticket is now available. You can find it under [Shop > Goods > Class Change]. By spending 'Class Change Coins', you can swap your primary and secondary classes, along with equipment and skills. Just keep in mind that these items are seasonal, not permanent; they disappear from the shelves on October 15 at 6:00 AM.

Then there is the 'Boost Server', designed for those looking to speed-run their progression. You can pick from Thoros, Mors, Natheak, or Esku servers during character creation. It is a 'Non-PK' zone, so you can grind without worrying about being attacked. These servers operate independently with triple the experience points and silver gain, plus field bosses that spawn three times faster.

Finally, let's talk about the new Alliance Raid. To get this PvE content rolling, alliances need to purchase a 'Dungeon Point Recharge Stone' from the Alliance Leader shop. Once the leader initiates, 2 points are consumed, and the raid begins. Rewards are based on how many bosses are downed within the time limit, and there is even a server-wide ranking system based on completion times and progress.

The patch also brings a laundry list of quality-of-life tweaks: level 117 monsters in the Doldambul region, a pity system for failed syntheses, new costumes, faction improvements, upgrades to spirit and mount awakening, gathering adjustments, multi-instance support for the Netmarble launcher, and the usual bug fixes. You can find the nitty-gritty details on the official Arthdal Chronicles website.
