The Half-Year Anniversary update introduces the new “Female Ironclad” School, a close-range combat style centered on resilience, pressure, and fearless hand-to-hand engagement.
Its identity draws strong parallels to Phetjeeja’s own reputation inside the ring, making the collaboration feel closely tied to the game’s martial arts fantasy.
Muay Thai World Champion Phetjeeja leads “Female Ironclad” collaboration
To reinforce the identity of this new class, Muay Thai World Champion Phetjeeja has joined forces with Sword of Justice in a landmark collaboration.
Ironclad is known as the frontline martial arts class — a defensive powerhouse built around crowd control, close-range suppression, and protecting allies during large-scale encounters.
The Female Ironclad introduces a more agile interpretation of that combat philosophy while retaining the class’ signature durability and control-focused identity.
Equipped with exclusive ring gauntlets and chain-linked weapons, the style blends whipping strikes, fist techniques, and fluid legwork to create a combat system centered on relentless pressure and battlefield control.
Essentially, it balances agility with raw strength, giving players a faster and more aggressive take on the traditional Ironclad archetype.
Known for her composure under pressure and ability to overcome elite competition throughout her career, Phetjeeja’s fighting philosophy closely mirrors the discipline and strength represented by the Female Ironclad.
The developers have also confirmed that future updates will integrate motion-captured combat animations inspired by Phetjeeja, allowing players to experience signature movement styles translated directly into in-game action.
Anniversary rewards arrive with “Lucky Thursday” event
Alongside the collaboration, the Half-Year Anniversary introduces a new recurring benefit event called “Lucky Thursday.”
Every Thursday, players will be able to claim enhanced rewards and bonuses, including 1,000 Ornate Jade and a 50% off Outfit Coupon, adding consistent weekly value throughout the celebration period and beyond.
New story arc and high-difficulty challenges expand the world
The update also pushes the narrative forward with a new storyline titled “Return to the Clouds.” This marks the beginning of the Inner Realm saga, where players will explore the emotional mystery behind the ancient instrument known as “Chiba.”
For endgame players, difficulty has been significantly expanded. New Heroic modes for “Peak Realms” and “Mirror Sky Pavilion” introduce more demanding PvE encounters that emphasize coordination, strategy, and team synergy.
Competitive and casual players alike are also being offered additional long-term goals through newly added Honor Challenges, spanning both Arena and Leisure gameplay modes, each tied to exclusive prestige rewards during the anniversary period.
