Map Workshop

Core Gameplay: Be sure to read the official Map Workshop tutorial documentation before playing.

Map Workshop Official Tutorial

• Allows Navigators to create custom maps with four modes: Demolition, Outbreak, Team Arena, and Sword Clash.
• Supports collaborative map-building, downloading community creations, and custom room settings. Craft your own unique challenges!
• Over 55 modular components—including Function Module, Basic Module, and Decor Module—build your dream battleground now!

Outbreak

Player capacity for Outbreak matchmaking and custom rooms has been increased from 15 to 20.

Card Gallery

• Dev Team Message: We're committed to enhancing every Navigator's experience. After receiving extensive feedback regarding deck depth, card draw mechanics, and card acquisition efficiency, our team has completed intensive development and optimization. We now officially launch two major features:
• New Card Index System & Deck Editor Functionality: Cards in Outbreak mode are divided into Superstring and Crystalline factions. Navigators can dismantle or synthesize expansion cards via the Card Index and construct separate Superstring decks and Crystalline decks. Minimum card requirements per quality tier must be met when creating card decks.
• To ensure functional stability, new cards will be delayed and added to the Card Index via hotfix on August 7th. This will deliver a richer deck-building experience.
• In order to bring a smoother experience, the following cards will be converted from paid expansion cards to default base cards for all Navigators.
• Owners of converted cards will receive full card fragment refunds based on actual ownership within 48 hours after update. Data processing may experience delays. If Card Fragments aren't received immediately, please wait patiently. We appreciate your understanding!
• Due to current card pool limitations and existing rules, all decks will mandatorily include non-removable base cards to prevent extreme match experiences. Navigators must supplement these with additional cards to build unique decks.
• Looking ahead, we'll introduce weekly free deck rotations and a deck sharing system while continuously enhancing the Card Index. These upgrades will improve Navigators' deck-building experience, and as the card pool expands, we'll unlock more flexible deck construction features. Stay tuned!
