Jade Fused Warlord: Season 49 Battle Pass
Deserve the Redeemer’s Reception
Fight in the Chaos Convoy
From February 4—February 23, 3:00 a.m. local server time, battle in the Chaos Convoy, a limited-time Battleground match that has randomized power progression to amplify each match. Choose from randomized Gift of Corvus which grant powerful combat modifiers, where you’ll need to make decisions on the fly to adapt to the battleground, and to your opponent.
Taking place on the current Convoy map; before each Battleground match starts, you’ll be able to pick your first Gift of Corvus to power up your build. These offerings presented will be random, but you’ll be able to re-roll one of the cards that’s offered. Across the match, every 90 seconds you’ll be presented with another Gift of Corvus to amplify your build. Keep selecting cards as the game goes on, find your most potent combination to emerge victorious!
Gifts of Corvus can grant varying effects and modifiers, from increasing DOT damage, to increasing movement speed, summoning spectral weapons to fight alongside you, or even reduce your ability cooldown timers. There's more than 100 different Gifts to try, and virtually limitless combinations!
No two matches are quite the same. You’ll earn twice the Battleground rewards by playing in this limited-time mode.
Please note that during this event, Paragon Skills and Specializations, Warband Remnants, and Boss Skill affixes on equipment will be disabled in the Chaos Convoy game mode.

Fear the New Monster Commander
When playing in dungeons, keep your guard high as you might find yourself face to face with a deadly new foe. The Monster Commander is a powerful new enemy—their greatest threat lies in their ability to rally the enemies around them in organized formations and coordinated attacks, turning familiar encounters with undead monstrosities into tactical combat scenarios that demand cunning and strategy!
Carefully Designed Tactical Formations
Monster Commanders will only appear in dungeons and currently feature two distinct formations: Shield Wall and Ranged Volley. Each formation is designed as a small combat puzzle, encouraging players to observe, adapt, and break enemy coordination.
Guaranteed First Kill Reward
Defeating a Monster Commander for the first time each day guarantees a Legendary item drop, ensuring that taking on these encounters is always worthwhile. Additional rewards scale with encounter difficulty, reinforcing Commander fights as meaningful highlights within dungeon runs.
More to Come
This type of dynamic enemy is part of a broader effort to make Sanctuary feel more responsive and dangerous. Following other systems like Cursed Shrines and Corrupted Heroes, Master Commanders are the next step in making your enemies fearsome, and responsive to how you play.
This system will continue to expand over time, with new formations, monster families, and encounter types for future updates. Prepare carefully, dungeons just became that much more treacherous.
