Introduction

The latest Infinity Kingdom patch brings an exciting set of features to deepen your gameplay experience, allowing you to customize, strategize, and compete in brand-new ways. Patch 2.7.5, available on November 21st, introduces Immortal Specializations, a new Elite Campaign, a legendary Nine Tails Immortal, and a server-wide Star of Popularity event. With these tools at your disposal, your Immortals can now be specialized, and your in-game influence amplified.

Let’s dive into each update, explore strategic takeaways, and add a few of my insights to help you make the most of these new features.

1. Immortal Specializations

An unknown surge of energy has reawakened the ancient Well of Time, causing it to flicker with mysterious power. In its depths, the wills of five legendary masters have stirred, quietly summoning brave warriors to embark on a new journey. This awakening brings the Immortal Specialization System, a transformative way to cultivate unique and powerful Immortals through carefully chosen skills. Available on Season 2+ servers, the system allows players to specialize their Epic and Legendary Immortals by selecting skills tailored to their roles, known as Immortal Expertise. With multiple types of Expertise to choose from, you can develop distinct strengths for each Immortal.

In addition, the Well of Time now unveils a new challenge: the Elite Campaign in Nightmare difficulty. Conquer this test to earn Master’s Marks, which are key to unlocking Expertise Skills and enhancing your Immortals’ power like never before.

Availability: Immortal Specializations are accessible on servers in Season 2 or beyond, offering all Epic and Legendary Immortals unique ways to amplify their strengths.
Selecting Specializations: Specializations are divided based on each Immortal’s position on the battlefield, with three types available per role. Unlock attributes and boost battle power, adding an extra layer of strategy when building your ideal team.
Unlocking Skills with Master’s Marks: Master’s Marks are essential to unlock these powerful new attributes and skills, which enhance each Immortal’s combat power. After unlocking attributes, spend Master’s Marks and Immortal Fragments to level up these skills.

Mael’s Opinion

This feature brings depth and personalization for players willing to invest in high-tier Immortals. My recommendation is to hold off on significant investments until you’re clear on the exact number of Immortal Fragments, Master's Mark required for each specialization. Patience now will ensure resources are well-spent, so I suggest waiting before spending Master's Mark or purchasing fragments in bulk. Immortal Specializations are not affected by Immortal rebirth. Resetting specializations costs Master's Insights. All items used to learn specializations will be returned upon reset.

Key Information Recap:

Immortal Specialization System: Available on Season 2+ servers for Epic and Legendary Immortals.
Immortal Expertise: Choose from multiple Expertise types to enhance Immortals’ unique strengths.
Elite Campaign (Nightmare Difficulty): Challenge this mode in the Well of Time to earn Master’s Marks.
Master’s Marks: Required to unlock Expertise Skills and key attributes for Immortals.
Immortal Fragments: Used alongside Master’s Marks to level up Expertise Skills, further boosting Immortals’ power.

2. Elite Campaign

The Elite Campaign challenges players to earn Master’s Marks to unlock skills.

Challenge & Raid Mechanics: Elite Campaigns are free of SP costs, though attempts are limited per day, resetting at midnight. Once you reach the highest level, you unlock the Raid option for additional rewards.
Rewards: Players earn various Master’s Marks needed to specialize Immortals, giving your army a meaningful boost in battle.

Mael’s Opinion: With limited daily attempts, this feature encourages careful planning and daily dedication. This is also a fantastic way to secure necessary resources such as Master's Marks without depleting SP, helping sustain a steady progression path.

3. New Legendary Immortal: Nine Tails

In various legends, the "Nine-Tailed Lady" is often depicted as a powerful and enigmatic figure, possessing abilities to heal, dispel curses, and influence outcomes with her supernatural gifts. Known across East Asian folklore, especially in Chinese and Japanese traditions, this mysterious figure symbolizes wisdom, strength, and a deep connection to the mystical arts. Now, Infinity Kingdom introduces this legendary figure as a Chaos support-focused Immortal with incredible dispelling and healing powers.

Nine Tails, the newest addition, is a Chaos support-focused Immortal with incredible dispelling and healing abilities. Available through the Chaos Roulette, Nine Tails cleanses allies of Bite, Serious Wound, and DoT effects while boosting the activation chance of triggered skills. This Immortal also restores HP to the lowest HP ally whenever an ally uses an Ultimate Skill.

Bite: A continuous damage effect, such as that inflicted by Poseidon, which deals periodic damage and can disrupt survivability.
Serious Wound: An effect seen with Immortals like Genghis Khan or Qin Emperor, preventing targets from being healed—a critical threat in sustained battles.
Damage over Time (DoT): Continuous damage effects caused by skills such as Toxic or Fire Nova, Blade Vortex, or Elizabeth Bathory ultimate skill for instance.

Phantom Pact Skill Info: Cleanses all allies of Bite, Serious Wound and DoT effects , increases trigger chance of Triggered Type skills by x%, and restores HP to your Troop with the lowest HP after any allied Immortals use an Ultimate Skill (Recovery Rate y%). Lasts for 6s.

Increased Trigger Chance(x): 3%/4%/5%/6%/7%/8%/9%/10%
Recovery Rate(y): 69%/92%/115%/138%/161%/184%/207%/230%

Mael’s Opinion: Nine Tails is a fantastic addition to any PvP or PvE team, providing reliable support with enhanced healing and cleanse effects. Without much surprise, the newest Immortal is another Chaos one, which could actually change the meta. Nine Tails cleanses allies, significantly diminishing the impact of effects like Poseidon’s Bite, which will suffer greatly from this skill. For players facing control-heavy enemies, Nine Tails can be the linchpin in countering status effects. My advice: consider placing Nine Tails in teams that require endurance and defense, as the added cleanse and healing will support teams through prolonged battles.

The Continuous Damage component of Poseidon's Ultimate Skill, Giant Wave (Bite effect), often contributes to over 30% of his total damage in a battle. With the introduction of Nine Tails, this effect can now be effectively countered, significantly diminishing Poseidon’s impact on the meta. Before Nine Tails, there was no direct counter to Poseidon’s Bite effect, making this a game-changing addition.

Recap of Nine Tails’ Addition:

Type: Chaos support Immortal with exceptional healing and cleanse abilities, designed to bolster team durability and counter powerful enemy effects.
Core Strengths: Cleanses debilitating effects like:
Bite: Continuous damage effects like those from Poseidon’s Giant Wave, which often accounts for over 30% of his total damage.
Serious Wound: Prevents healing, such as from Genghis Khan or Qin Emperor, making Nine Tails a vital asset in sustained battles.
Damage Over Time (DoT): Neutralizes skills like Blade Vortex or Toxic Nova, which deal damage in intervals, protecting key troops from attrition.
Skill Synergy: Her ultimate skill boosts the activation rate of Triggered Skills, creating powerful synergies with Immortals reliant on activation-based abilities.
Energy Regeneration Advantage: As a support Immortal, Nine Tails likely possesses a high base energy regeneration attribute, allowing her to frequently trigger her ultimate skill. This could lead to near-constant healing and cleansing effects, significantly altering the meta and creating a new standard for team sustainability.

This chart is based on an assumed energy regeneration rate of 120 points per second, which remains to be confirmed. However, it effectively demonstrates the mechanics of energy buildup, activation, and the overlapping phases of the Phantom Pact skill. To maintain a continuous cycle—where a new activation immediately follows the end of the 6-second duration of the phases—a higher energy regeneration rate of approximately 167 points per second would be required. This highlights the importance of optimizing energy regeneration to maximize skill efficiency in battle.

4. Star of Popularity Event

For the first time in Infinity Kingdom, all servers will participate in the Star of Popularity event, where Lords compete for rankings by gaining popularity.

Popularity Ranking: Players gain popularity through event activities, aiming to reach the top and win prizes like the exclusive Dark Night Sovereign decoration, server naming rights, and the new Legendary Immortal Nine Tails.

Mael’s Opinion: This event provides a unique social element, enhancing interaction and offering high-value rewards, including the new Chaos Immortal : Nine Tails, Dark Night Sovereign Castle Decoration and ability to name your server.... Gaining popularity will likely require players to balance resource use with daily activities. I recommend focusing on building relationships within your server, engaging in daily activities and using Rose Packages thoughtfully to climb the rankings.

5. Optimizations and Quality of Life Updates

The patch also brings a few notable improvements for gameplay, particularly for players focused on Legion of Frostborne battles.

Legion of Frostborne: Players can now rebuy dismantled Ability Stones up to 60 times. The faction selection timing has been streamlined, allowing only a 24-hour window before the battle, simplifying planning.

Talent Reset Gem Removal: Players can now reset talent pages without Gem costs, allowing more flexibility in adapting talent setups without needing to pay for adjustments.

Mael’s Opinion: These optimizations reflect the developers’ focus on practical improvements. The buyback option for Ability Stones can help players avoid costly mistakes, while the removal of Gem costs for talent resets allows greater flexibility in experimenting with different talent setups. This quality-of-life update will particularly benefit players who frequently adjust talents to suit different battle scenarios - without spending gems.
