Season 10 — What's Coming

The Proving Grounds tested you. The Crucible will prove what you are made of. Season 10 is the season the community has been anticipating — a new tournament mode, a Guardian unlike any other in the roster, and one of the most significant Legendary awakenings the game has seen. Here is everything arriving on 10 June.

Tillyria — Seelie Queen

Tillyria is a Gen 1 Legendary Ranger joining Elderym in Season 10. Her power is psychological, not physical. She does not hit hard — she controls, distracts, and turns enemies against each other. Sleep, charm, illusion, confusion: four tools that work in concert to neutralise the most dangerous opponents before they reach your squad.

She cannot be pulled from the Summoning Stone or Calling Crystal Banners. She is earned exclusively through Guild Wars — collect shards from the Guild Wars leaderboard each week and summon her once you have 60.

How to Get HerShards Awarded
Guild Wars — Rank 17 Shards
Guild Wars — Rank 25 Shards
Guild Wars — Rank 33 Shards
Guild Wars — Rank 4 and belowNo Shards

60 shards required to summon Tillyria. Shards are earned each week from the Guild Wars leaderboard.

Elohatt — Soulbinder of Umbrus

Elohatt has been in squads for a long time. Season 10 gives him a ceiling worth building toward.

He manipulates death — harvesting souls from the fallen and turning their end into healing. His domain shifts to Umbrus this season, and at Legendary he raises an Abomination from the dead.

His awakening sharpens three existing skills and adds one unlocked exclusively at Legendary rarity: Raise Abomination.

An upgrade — not a new pull.

Legendary Awakening

Awaken the Elohatt you already own. His domain changes to Umbrus — shadow, death, and the risen dead.
