Guild of Guardians Season 8, titled Spring’s Renewal, opens April 1 and centers on the Legendary rarity upgrades for two established Guardians, Prielle and Dribb. Both characters unlock new abilities and altered Exclusive Equipment effects at Legendary rarity. The season also includes four returning banner Guardians across two rotation windows, six timed events, a season pass running through April 29, the second season of the Class Skills leaderboard, and one of the game’s broader balance passes in recent seasons.
What Happening
- Prielle reaches Legendary rarity, gaining a new Penance Mark skill that converts a portion of damage dealt into team-wide healing, and her Valkyrie Shield now detonates as True Damage on nearby enemies if broken before its duration expires.
- Dribb reaches Legendary rarity and unlocks Evil Gaze, a persistent debuff that erodes an enemy’s speed and evasion with each hit and guarantees a Fear effect when it peaks.
- TianLong receives the most significant individual balance overhaul of the season, with updates across three abilities affecting burst windows and disruption capability.
- The balance pass broadly addresses Founders and Early Adopter Guardians that had fallen behind the developing meta, with Stratos receiving the largest uptime improvement of any Guardian this season and Rufus receiving updates across nearly his full ability set.
- Class Skills enters its second season on the leaderboard, with three class rotations contributing to a seasonal ranking and Week 1 designated as unranked for practice.
- Gruff’s Vault returns with a new seasonal reward pool that includes a Legendary Potion of Awakening as an unlockable perk and a Champion Lisca at 15/10 at the top tier, with only two available across the entire season.
