New Legendary Gem: Hilt of Many Realms
Legions of Horror Limited-Time Event
Region-Specific Game Additions
New Legendary Gem: Hilt of Many Realms
What’s better than having one sword? How about five swords, summoned from thin air to strike down the dark abominations swarming at your feet. No sheath may bind it, no shield may block it, no weapon may sunder it, and no warrior may claim to be its master. The below values for this gem reflect its power at Rank 10:
Hilt of Many Realms (Five-Star Gem): Dealing damage conjures 5 flying swords to follow you for 10 seconds, during which using a skill consumes a flying sword to create a Sword Rain at a random enemy location, dealing 120% base damage +506 to nearby enemies. Conjuring flying swords cannot occur more than once every 20 seconds. Sword Rain has a 40% chance to drop a massive sword, dealing an additional 50% damage to nearby enemies and knocking them airborne.
To unlock the full power of this gem, obtain the following five Resonance Gems:
- Pain Clasp
- Iron Bane
- Lightning Core
- Blood-Soaked Jade
- Gloom Cask
