The Forge — Seasonal Gear
Every season, the Forge mints a full set of themed gear with passives you level up. Season 1 is SolForge; Season 2 brings Arctis. Here's everything about both.
/gear/ascforge⚒️ Two Seasons of Gear
SolForge is live now and becomes a legacy set once Season 2 begins. Arctis is the new frozen set — Open Beta Aug 1, official launch Aug 9. Jump to a section below.
🛠️ How Seasonal Gear Works
/gear/ascforge upgradeForge gear is netherite-equivalent equipment with a twist: every piece carries a named passive ability, and each piece has a Level that you raise to make that passive stronger and more likely to trigger. The whole set shares a look, a currency, and a full-set bonus.
- Every piece has a passive — armor, weapons and tools each do something unique.
- Level I → VI. Higher levels raise the passive's proc chance. Level VI is Overmax, the peak.
- Upgrade with the season's shards. Hold a piece and run
/ascforge upgradeto spend shards and raise its Level. - Infinite durability — Forge gear never breaks.
- Set bonus. Wear the full armor set for a season-wide bonus that boosts every passive at once.

Only one seasonal set is craftable at a time — the current season's. When a new season starts, the previous set becomes a legacy set: you keep every piece you own and can still play it, but new keys and shards for it leave the store.
☀️ SolForge — Season 1
Live until Season 1 ends July 26 — then a legacy set. Our first full seasonal set: sun-touched gear powered by Solar Shards. Charge your Solar Resonance meter as you play to ignite Radiant State, a server-announced power surge. Once Season 2 begins you keep all your SolForge gear and can still use it — but new SolForge Keys leave the store.
| Piece | Passive |
|---|---|
| 👑 Dawnseer (Helmet) | Bonus rewards from hunts, raids & crates. |
| 🛡 Heart of Helios (Chest) | Solar Blessing buffs — luck, shard boost & bonus EXP. |
| 👖 Radiant Flow (Legs) | In-battle heal & status cleanse. |
| 🥾 Sunwalker (Boots) | Draws solar-type spawns with rare IVs & abilities. |
| Item | Passive |
|---|---|
| ⚔ Sunflare Sword | Solar Burst ignite + bonus Solar Shards on kills. |
| ⛏ Starforge Breaker (Pickaxe) | Solar Shard drops from mined ore. |
| 🪓 Emberroot (Axe) | Solar Shard drops from chopped logs. |
| 🌾 Bloom of Helios (Hoe) | Crop duplication, regrowth & AOE harvest. |
| 🥄 Chronoshift (Shovel) | Solar Surge timed buffs. |
| 🛡 Solar Aegis (Shield) | Solar Guard on a successful block. |
The full set also includes the Solar Arc (bow), Helios Repeater (crossbow), Sunspear (trident) and Solar Current (fishing rod).
- Upgrade pieces I → V with Solar Shards via
/ascforge upgrade. - Push a Level V piece to VI (Overmax) at the Archaeologist using a Seasonal Essence.
- Every piece has infinite durability.
Spin the seasonal gacha crate for gear and Solar Shards. The grand prize is a guaranteed Level V piece — the only way to mint a max-tier item — backed by a pity system so a streak of bad luck always pays off. SolForge Keys are available in the store while Season 1 lasts, and every dungeon clear drops one too.
Earned through dungeon clears, leaderboards & seasonal feats. Once the season ends these become unobtainable forever, and unspent Solar Shards convert to Legacy Fragments for future seasons.
The SolForge Pokémon are the ancient guardians of the First Sun — each carries its own title, legend, and a unique Pokédex entry in-game.
| Guardian | Title | Pokédex Entry |
|---|---|---|
| Hydreigon | The Tyrant of Judgment | Its three heads judge every soul without prejudice. Legends claim entire kingdoms vanished after earning the Tyrant's silent condemnation. |
| Flygon | The Crystal Sentinel | Its crystal wings bend light into endless illusions, hiding sacred ruins from unworthy eyes. Few who pursue its mirages ever find their way home. |
| Sigilyph | The Oracle of Fate | Ancient symbols covering its wings change whenever fate is rewritten. No scholar has ever deciphered their complete meaning. |
| Ceruledge | The Eternal Duelist | It challenges only those whose hearts burn as fiercely as its blades. Its flames grow brighter after every honorable duel. |
| Armarouge | The Sacred Guardian | It has guarded sacred sanctuaries for countless ages. Its violet fire burns away corruption while leaving the innocent untouched. |
| Marshadow | The Eclipse Walker | It emerges only when the balance of the world begins to falter. Entire dynasties are said to have fallen without ever realizing it was there. |
| Rayquaza | The Heavenly Sovereign | It watches over the heavens as the sovereign of the SolForge guardians. Ancient legends claim every eclipse signals its silent return. |
❄️ Arctis — Season 2
Open Beta August 1 · official launch August 9. An ancient frozen kingdom wakes — aurora skies, crystal, permafrost, and the primordial cold of Kyurem. Arctis is the new seasonal Forge set, and it brings a roster of signature frozen Pokémon with it.
| Piece | Passive |
|---|---|
| 👑 Arctis Crown (Helmet) | Frozen Instinct — boosts Ice- & Fairy-type spawns and gives them an IV boost; attackers can be Frozen (bosses Slowed instead). |
| 🛡 Arctis Plate (Chest) | Frozen Soul (PvE) — Ice/Fairy start battles with +1 Atk or SpA; Heart of the Glacier cuts damage from Dungeon & Area Zero enemies. |
| 👖 Arctis Greaves (Legs) | Glacial Pursuit — higher catch rate on Ice/Fairy (small bonus to all); Frozen Recovery heals on PvE kills. |
| 🥾 Arctis Sabatons (Boots) | Winter's Grace — frozen terrain generates Frozen Crystals; Permafrost inflicts Frostbite on Dungeon/AZ enemies. |
| Item | Passive |
|---|---|
| ⚔ Frostfang (Sword) | Absolute Zero (PvP) — melee hits can inflict Frostbound (slow + no sprinting). |
| 🪓 Rimecleaver (Axe) | Frozen Hunt — held in the offhand, defeating wild Pokémon grants Seasonal Gear EXP + Frozen Shards. |
| 🏹 Whitewind (Bow) | Whiteout (PvP) — arrows create an icy gust that slows and cuts jump height. |
| 🎯 Borealis (Crossbow) | Aurora Shot (PvP) — bolts can partially ignore the target's armor. |
| 🛡 Aegis (Shield) | Icebound Aegis (PvP) — a successful melee block can Frostbound the attacker. |
| ⛏ Icebreaker (Pickaxe) | Frozen Excavation — mining frozen blocks rewards Ancient Dungeon Fragments, Gear EXP & Frozen Shards (premium loot). |
| 🥄 Permafrost (Shovel) | Frozen Cache — digging rewards Vote Keys, Level Keys & Gear EXP. |
| 🌾 Snowreaper (Hoe) | Cryogenic Bloom — harvesting rewards Bonus Crops, Rare Berries, Mint Leaves & EV-reducing berries. |
| 🎣 Glacial Line (Rod) | Frozen Waters — fished Pokémon have a higher chance of a Hidden Ability, higher IVs, or Alpha. |
Each Arctis piece levels I → VI. Higher levels raise the chance its passive triggers, all the way up to Overmax (VI).
| Level | Standard | Premium — Icebreaker |
|---|---|---|
| I | 5% | 3% |
| II | 8% | 6% |
| III | 11% | 9% |
| IV | 14% | 12% |
| V | 17% | 15% |
| VI — Overmax | 25% | 25% |
Wear the complete Arctis armor and every passive activation chance increases, you gain extra damage reduction against Dungeon & Area Zero enemies, nearby PvE enemies can be Frozen when they attack, and you leave a crystalline frost trail wrapped in a radiant aurora.
Eight frozen ultimate forms headline the season — each a defining form with one signature ability and its own signature move.
| Pokémon | Type | BST | Role | Ability |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arctis Kingambit | Fairy / Steel | 600 | Royal Duelist | Royal Edge |
| Arctis Tyrantrum | Dragon / Ice | 650 | Physical Wallbreaker | Absolute Predator |

| Arctis Kyurem | Ice / Dragon | 720 | AG Special Calamity | Absolute Zero |
| Arctis Dialga | Dragon / Steel | 680 | AG Temporal Fortress | Chrono Lock |
Seasonal Pokémon are treated as ultimate forms — no Mega Evolution, no secondary or Hidden Abilities, just one defining power each.
