Along with that, the primary highlight of the Solstice of Heroes revolves around the special armor that players receive. With a glowing look to the armor pieces, it’s a sight to behold for fans. By completing various class-specific tasks during the event, players can fully upgrade them to legendary armor pieces, and then fight their battles with a glowing aura.

The activities for the event include Refraction, which will include a challenge that changes every day. This challenge would match a player’s attacks to the daily element in order to charge one of their four unique elemental buffs. On Prism days, players can charge up all four buffs even though they can only activate one at a time.
