21st August - Event Review - Sunken City

19 Aug

Written By JJ

Event Reviews are compilations of mine and others thoughts from across the discord, if you believe any is wrong or have anything else to add please reach out!

The Sunken City Event was released on the 21st August 2026 and ended the 27th August 2026

It features 3 new items; Marionette Angel (Artifact), Transcendence Gate (Back), Shaan (Mount)

Yet again I am a bit disappointed with the effects on these items! However they do look quite cool once again. I also like when the main spinner changes!

Marionette Angel - ‘1000 Spins’ - 10% Global ATK

Summary: Every 11s gain 16% of ALL DMG Res types, lasts 100 hits or 10s whichever is first. After that, does large AoE DMG (Can Crit!)

PVP: Its effect is just a much weaker Void Dice, albeit one that may last longer. Additionally it doesn’t deal the same damage that Void Dice does, making it an entirely inferior option for a Tank
For DPS it is possible the damage could be great since it can Crit however I don’t personally see it being great compared to most options

PVE: If you have literally nothing doing damage it would be fine

Unless you want to get Void Dice from the 2nd Grand Prize pool I wouldn’t bother going for this

Transcendence Gate - ‘500 Spins’ - 10% Global ATK

Summary: Reduces ATK/Pal ATK/Energy Regen Speeds of opponent by 10% (Not cleansable). Every 6s deals substantial damage to an enemy (Can Crit!)

PVP: Could be used as a DPS if you can have enough time to stack the orbs

PVE: It could be useful but would take some time to stack the orbs

Its a Global ATK back on 500 spins, just get it for the cheap passive

Shaan - Secondary Event - 10% Global DEF

Summary: Block 40% DMG for 5s.
Within the 5s, increases ATK/ATK SPD/Pal ATK SPD/Energy Regen SPD by 6% for ever enemy skill cast for 5s (Stacks up to 6 times)

PVP: Like Rollie, the block here should help greatly on the first Bear strike. Additionally for both tanks and DPS the stat boosts in this time could be great

If you used Rollie or Alien Dimension you could be 70-80% Blocked DMG which is a huge reduction. Bear is every 14s and Shaan is every 11s, so at 0s, 14s, 56s, 70s and 112s Shaan will be active at the same time as Bear! we already know that Rollie made a big difference so there is a chance this could too

However we do have to acknowledge that you would be losing the ability to cleanse from a mount like Phoenix or Speed of Death, there are Star Cards such as Hyperspace that could take over your cleansing it would just be significantly less frequent

PVE: No bonus except block

I will update these once it releases, for now they are speculative assumptions - From this I would say it looks potentially interesting for PVP and would consider getting it, however I will pay attention to tests after its arrival and update with all necessary info!
