Common questions
FAQHow do Prestige ranks work?
Once you reach level 50, the game continues with Prestige levels instead of stopping. Prestige 1 is equivalent to level 51, Prestige 2 to level 101, and so on up to Prestige 5 at the level 251 equivalent.
What are the Vibrant Void and Corrupted Abyss?
They are special challenge areas separate from the main district maps. Completing the Vibrant Void earns you the Prismatic Crown, while finishing the Corrupted Abyss earns the MISSING bundle.
