Matchmaking
Matchmaking Beta
Matchmaking has come to Godfall! Connect with up to two other players on the new Matchmaking tab for Ascended Tower of Trials and the new Lightbringer mode.
Ping System
A ping system has been added to enable better communication in multiplayer. Use pings to help coordinate on mission objectives and powerful enemies.
Ascended Tower of Trials
Primal Items
The chance for Primal Items to drop in the Ascended Tower of Trials has been doubled.
Intense Banes
A new type of bane has been added to the Ascended Tower of Trials – Intense Banes. These have stronger, more difficult effects, but a higher Loot Bonus.
Ascendant & Exalted Realm Bosses
The Ascended Tower of Trials will now spawn the more challenging Ascendant & Exalted versions of Realm Bosses as you progress higher in the Tower.
Loot
Cursed Items
Cursed Items are powerful new weapons and equipment that can only drop in Lightbringer. Cursed Items have one or more curses, which reduce the strength of the item and replace the secondary traits with negative traits. Cleansing curses from Cursed Items also allows you to extract the curse as a resource. Curses can then be used in Lightbringer to apply additional challenges in order to increase your rewards.
Curses can be cleansed from Cursed Items by completing specified objectives in the Ascended Tower of Trials and in Dreamstones while using the Cursed Item. Each time a curse is removed, the item becomes more powerful and a negative trait is turned positive.
Once all of the curses have been cleansed, the Cursed Item becomes an Awakened Item, and will be among the most powerful items that you can obtain in Godfall.
There are a total of 42 Cursed Items available.
Ailments
The ailment system has been revamped, improving the gameplay of ailments and adding more variety to how you can interact with the system.
Ailment Effects
Ailments now have more differentiated effects:
- Bleed – Increases the damage taken by the target and applies a damage-over-time effect
- Poison – The target gains a long duration damage-over-time effect with a high total amount of damage
- Chill – Slows the target’s movement and attack speed and applies a damage-over-time effect
- Shock – Increases Breach damage taken by the target and applies a damage-over-time effect
- Curse – Decreases the damage dealt by the target and applies a damage-over-time effect
- Ignite – The target gains a short duration, high intensity damage-over-time effect
Applying Ailments
Ailment Chance traits have been removed. Effects that apply ailments are now guaranteed to apply the ailment when specific attacks are performed (e.g. “Shield Throws inflict Ailments”).
Ailments can now be applied to enemies multiple times, giving you the ability to apply multiple stacks of an ailment on an enemy at the same time for increased effect.
Ailment Strength
The strength of ailment stacks are now relative to the strength of the attack you use to apply the ailment. High-damage attacks will apply stronger ailments stacks, with stronger effects and increased damage over time.
Additionally, you can gain Ailment Power traits to increase the effectiveness of ailments you apply to enemies, and you can gain Ailment Duration traits to increase the duration of ailments you apply to enemies. Both of these traits will increase the total damage over time dealt by the ailments.
Consuming Ailments
Some items will now allow you to consume ailments from enemies. When you consume ailments from an enemy, all ailments stacks are removed from the enemy and any remaining damage from the ailments is dealt to the enemy instantaneously.
Valorplate Cosmetics
86 new Valorplate cosmetics have been added to better customize your favorite Valorplates. Complete new challenges to earn cosmetics and show them off to your friends in the new matchmaking modes! Check the cosmetics section on the Equipment tab to see what’s been added and how to unlock them.
- 56 new in-game earnable cosmetics available to all players
- 30 new in-game earnable cosmetics exclusive to Godfall: Fire & Darkness
Quality of Life Enhancements

Dreamstone Sorting – Standard Dreamstones are now sorted by level (from high to low). Volatile Dreamstones now sort by level (high to low), then rarity (legendary to rare). Players can also change Volatile Dreamstones to sort by Recent/Rarity/Level/Name.
- Enemy Levels on Nameplates – Enemy nameplates have been updated to always show enemy levels, even when enemies are more than 10 levels higher than players.

Balance changes
- Overhealth revamped: The rate that Overhealth drains now depends on the amount of Overhealth that you have. Overhealth drains quickly while it is nearly full, and the rate slows down as your Overhealth depletes. Additionally, new traits have been added to the game that slow down the Overhealth drain rate, and these traits have replaced any traits that completely stopped Overhealth drain.
- Rampage revamped: Rampage now drains while it is active but you can keep damaging enemies to maintain it longer.
- Balanced Items:
We have slightly reduced the strength of three items that were too powerful compared to other items. We feel that after these changes the items will still be effective when used in your builds, but they will be more in-line with other options in the game.
- Surety (Augment): Weakpoint damage bonus has been reduced.
- Archon’s Tear (Life Stone): Critical Hit chance bonus has been reduced. Critical Hit damage bonus has been reduced.
- Mesa’s Banderole (Banner): Critical Hit chance bonus has been reduced. Critical Hit damage bonus has been reduced.
- Due to the Ailments 2.0 changes, we have modified a number of ailment-related items so that they function properly with the new system. Some of these items had small balance tweaks, while other items had their traits modified to work with the new ailment mechanics.
