Seasonal ladders are an iconic element of modern ARPGs, and we are excited to announce this new feature coming to Inquisitor. Ladders are built around a key theme, which will affect gameplay in- and outside of combat. New buffs and spells, challenging quests and exciting rewards await - who will be the one to ascend the highest on the ladder and complete all Tier Objectives?

Welcome to the Inferno

Season of the Inferno will be built around one of the most primal elements - fire. Are you going to strike down on the enemies of the Emperor with righteous flame, or will you be the one to be burned? This is for you to decide. The fiery theme will be present across the entire game for ladder characters, from the selection screen to the deepest, Nurgle-infested nests.

Creating a Seasonal Character means a fresh start for every player

Seasonal Characters can not interact with non-seasonal characters in any way but the chat

Seasonal Items

During their Season adventures, players may receive unique, Season-only items with enchantments tailored to fit the fiery menace of the Inferno. There are several such items added to the Season, and some of them are rewarded within Tier Objective caches as well.











Seasonal Enchants

Besides Seasonal Items, there are a few Relic Enchants that can be rolled on any items for Seasonal Characters:

Hellraiser (Tech Adept Weapons): All Construct Heat attacks apply Inferno on Hit with a 15% chance

Fiery Wrath (Weapons): 10% Damage bonus against enemies affected by Inferno

Glow (Signums): Enemies have halved resistances against heat attacks

It is important to note that with the Season update, numerous new enchants become available for Season and non-Season chaaracters alike. One of these is a 10-15% XP bonus enchant that can be rolled on any of the items to make leveling a lot easier. For the full list of new enchants and balance changes, head to the changelog .

Archeotech Shards

In Season of the Inferno, we have introduced the Inferno Shard. Each tier starts dropping after completing the corresponding Seasonal Tier. After completing each Seasonal Tier, players receive one Shard, and from that point on, that level of the Shard starts dropping from various ingame sources.
