Unlike the first half, an event is scheduled to debut during the second phase of version 3.4. The following section lists the event along with its release date:

Realm of the Strange (From July 31, 2025, to August 11, 2025)

As all players know, Realm of the Strange is an event that boosts the drop rate of Relics, double to be specific. While the event is live, players will receive a set amount of double drops on every Caver of Corrosion clear. After the Trailblazers burn through all the extra drops, the drop rates will go back to normal.
