Enter Devil Square with an invitation. Choose a pact, complete three objectives and defeat the guardian before deciding whether to bank the reward or risk overtime.
Your invitation still matters
Speak to Charon with the correct Devil's Invitation (+1 through +7), or the original universal Devil Square ticket. Original level and evolution bands still decide which arena you may enter. Solo players and parties may participate; no guild is required. Both Aethran appearances participate through their own class rules.
Registration opens at 01:35, 05:35, 09:35, 13:35, 17:35 and 21:35 in server time. The entry window lasts five minutes. Combat can run for up to fifteen minutes.
One pact. Three changing trials.
Choose a temporary pact: Ruin Pact (+20% damage, −15% defence), Elite Hunter (more elite contribution), or Fortune Debt (one extra chest grade towards the S-grade token bonus, stronger bosses).
Complete three different objectives: destroy crystals, defend the Warden, eliminate marked elites, hold a seal, collect dropped souls, or choose a safer/harder route. A new run selects three without repetition.
Bring healing potions. Break the three shield crystals, then focus the Soul Harvester while one teammate handles the Death Knight healers. When a volcanic seal appears, move at least four tiles from its center within three seconds. A player with Soul Mark has five seconds to get at least four tiles from teammates.
Once the shield breaks, one Death Knight healer can appear every 15 seconds, up to three at once. A healer must survive until the next pulse to restore 0.5% of the boss’s maximum HP. Kill it before that pulse to prevent its heal. The Summoner affix uses the same rule in the final fight.
Bank or risk: a strict majority of eligible active players must vote to continue. A tie or unanswered vote banks safely.
Survive Overtime and defeat your arena’s guardian. Each final boss has two affixes, which can add life steal, volcanic zones, summons, enrage or short potion locks.
Four difficulty tiers
Your resets at entry determine your tier. The highest participant tier sets the guardian. Each player earns their own tier reward.
| Resets at entry | Tier and final boss | Daily chest | BANK / Overtime base tokens | Daily token ceiling |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 0–4 | Ember / Ashbound Tyrant | 1 Jewel of Chaos | 4 / 7 | 12 |
| 5–19 | Cinder / Rift Devourer | 1 Jewel of Bless | 6 / 10 | 18 |
| 20–49 | Inferno / Furnace Sovereign | 1 Jewel of Creation | 8 / 13 | 24 |
| 50+ | Abyss / Obsidian Judge | 1 Jewel of Harmony | 10 / 16 | 30 |
Pick Ember for Chaos Machine combinations, Cinder for early equipment upgrades, Inferno for fruit crafting and Abyss for Harmony options. The table shows total base tokens for each route. You can still earn your daily jewel if you have already reached your token ceiling.
In a mixed party, an Ember character can face the Obsidian Judge and earn Ember tokens and a Jewel of Chaos.
Contribution beyond damage
Ranks range from D to SSS. Objectives, elite kills, survival, time, effective healing and tanking contribute alongside actual damage. Deaths reduce the result. Standing still or merely entering does not earn rewards. Healing an already-full player and self-healing do not farm support points.
Controlled, account-bound progress
BANK pays the base tokens listed above. A failed run pays zero tokens and no chest. Your first qualifying Overtime boss victory each UTC day earns the jewel in your tier row.
Qualify with at least 30 active seconds, 3 actions and 20 contribution points. Effective healing, tanking and objectives count alongside damage.
The first qualifying success each UTC day adds 2 tokens. Banking can earn this bonus and leaves your daily chest available.
A grade of B or A adds 1 token. S, SS and SSS add 2. When you earn the daily chest, an effective chest grade of S or higher adds 1 further token. Fortune Debt raises your chest grade by one step for that bonus and makes the boss tougher.
All bonuses fit inside the daily token ceiling. Today's earnings are shared across characters on the same account. Switching characters or spending tokens cannot refill the allowance. One account can earn at most 30 tokens and one single-jewel chest per UTC day.
Claiming rewards at Charon
Return to Charon, open the Infernal reward wallet, claim the chest and collect the item from reward storage. Leave space in your inventory. A chest claim can be retried without creating a second jewel.
| Material | Infernal Tokens |
|---|---|
| Bless pack (10) | 80 |
| Soul pack (10) | 80 |
| Jewel of Chaos | 15 |
| Jewel of Harmony | 30 |
| Jewel of Creation | 25 |
A player at the Abyss cap needs at least three UTC days to buy an 80-token pack starting from zero.
Reconnect and event controls
If you disconnect, return through Charon with the same account and character within 90 seconds to rejoin an active run. You can drag or minimise the event panel.
