Legacy of Phrecia Event Gameplay Core
Legacy of Phrecia is a standalone league, meaning you'll need to create a new orange to participate.

1. Ascendancy Rewritten
In Legacy of Phrecia, all 19 original Ascendancy classes have been replaced with entirely new versions. These new Ascendancy classes often incorporate multiple design concepts, resulting in more innovative gameplay.For example:

• Servant of Arakaali - Summons spiders to assist in combat, built around webs and control.

• Daughter of Oshabi - Nature-based power theme, enhancing nature skills and survivability.

During the event, all existing awakenings will be temporarily replaced; upon the event's end and the character's awakening points being migrated, the system will automatically reset them and return them to the regular awakening tree.

2. Idol System Replaces Atlas

In Legacy of Phrecia, Atlas are completely replaced by the Idol system, one of the core features of this event.

Idols are special items that place buffs on the map, similar to passive Atlas nodes, and can be freely combined. Idols have different rarities and mod counts; for example, Magic Idols can have up to 2 mods, Rare Idols up to 4 mods, and Unique Idols have special effects, similar to certain rare Atlas Keystone effects. Unfortunately, Idols cannot be crafted using regular PoE currency, but they can drop from map bosses and can be combined in the Idol panel on the Map Device.

Unlike the old Atlas Tree, this system relies more on player mod choices. Interpretation and Combinations. The Idol system will not be migrated to the regular Atlas by the end of the event, but it can still be used for private league creation.

3. Map Region Mechanism Changes

Legacy of Phrecia introduces Map Modifiers. Each map region will randomly generate a set of map modifiers, with the number increasing as the region level increases. Difficult modifiers that could cause "build collapse," such as reflect, have been intentionally removed from the system.

4. BOSS and Enrage Mechanisms

Regular region bosses and some Pinnacle bosses have enhanced or newly added mechanics.All Unique monsters will enrage when entering a low-health phase, significantly increasing the difficulty and pace.

Legacy of Phrecia is like an experimental ground for players to try different builds or gameplay combinations. If you enjoy exploring unknown build ideas and content that emphasizes gameplay fun, this event is worth your time.
