PCGamesN Thursday, February 13, 2025 7:07 PM ![]() Path of Exile has just fully unveiled its Legacy of Phrecia event, and given that it's a rather last-minute make-good with the community after saying that support for PoE would pause to focus on Path of Exile 2, I'm shocked at how stacked it is. Legacy of Phrecia puts Path of Exile's 19 Ascendancy classes in the bin, and casually whips up 19 fresh ones to replace them. Oh, and it's out next week.

Nintendo announced a Super Mario hanafuda collaboration with the public bath on the B1 floor of Tokyo Plaza Harajuku Harakado. The campaign will run from February 17 to April 1, 2025. [Thanks, Famitsu!]
Kosugiya aims to create public baths that honor their hundred-year long history in Japan. Since the Showa era, people often went to these public baths to wash up and relax after an exhausting day. The company believes that natural is best, and hanafuda is a game that many customers can play and enjoy without putting on any airs. This is why it chose to team up with Nintendo for this campaign, as Nintendo originally started as a board and card game company (with hanafuda as one of its original merchandise).
Even beginners will be able to enjoy hanafuda, as there will be lessons and practice events on the weekends. Hanafuda fans can also buy goods, and during this time, the tickets for the public bath will resemble hanafuda cards. One of the goods is Mario hanafuda cards. Each card has a familiar mascot or character. We can see characters like Mario, Peach, Luigi, and Boo. These cards bear the same designs that Nintendo previously released in its stores.

The Mario hanafuda cards and public bath event will run from February 17 to April 1, 2025. It'll cost 550 JPY ($3.60) for adults to enter the Kosugiya Harajuku public bath.

GKids Films announced that it acquired the distribution rights for the North American release of Colorful Stage The Movie: A Miku Who Can't Sing. The movie will appear in theaters in Canada and the United States on April 11, 2025.
Since the website for the movie didn't mention if it'll only be in select theaters, it's likely that you'll be able to catch it in most major ones. Regardless, if you're unsure, GKids will probably release more information on it closer to April 11, 2025. You can also watch a trailer for the film on the official webpage for it.
Colorful Stage The Movie: A Miku Who Can't Sing first appeared in Japanese theaters in mid-January 2025. Though it stars familiar Vocaloid mascots, as a Colorful Stage movie, it mostly centers on the original characters for that game. Popular Vocaloid producers like Deco*27 ("Vampire") and Jin ("Kagerou Daze") worked on the opening and ending themes for the film, with music videos for them available on YouTube.
As for the story, it follows the tale of twenty teenagers who discover Sekai, which is an alternate world made from feelings. Vocaloids occupy these Sekais, and they help these teenagers with their self-discovery journeys. The plot of the movie focuses on Hatsune Miku trying to reach people with her songs, and the teenagers in question help her with this.

Illumination announced a delay of VR girlfriend game VR-Kanojo from its original February 2025 release window. The developers are hoping to release the game sometime around late April 2025.
The reason behind the latest delay of VR-Kanojo lies on the game still being under review on Steam. As per the announcement released by Illumination, the platform still hasn't given the green light for the developers to make the game available to the public, in spite of VR-Kanojo having already received various revisions to its content.
To ensure that the game can be sold on Steam and that users can play it, Illumination made the decision to implement significant modifications to VR-Kanojo that will require extra time. However, the developers haven't gone into detail on what these modifications are. The developers also apologized for this delay, which marks the second time the release of the game has been postponed.
The game was originally set to release on Winter 2024, which was later changed to February 2025 in October 2024. The team at Illumination is confident that the final version of the game will match players' expectations. Additionally, the release date might be subject to change again depending on the current status of the Steam review process. More information will appear at a later date.
VR-Kanojo has been delayed and is expected to appear on PC via Steam sometime in late April 2025.

Earning money, or the in-game currency, is one of the most important tasks in Avowed, as they will directly dictate your in-game progression.
The major issue isn't about earning the in-game currency, as there are different ways to obtain them. What matters is the rate at which you earn them and how you can speed up the process. Doing so has many benefits, but first, you need to understand how the in-game currency works in Avowed.
Avowed in-game currency explained
In Avowed, money comes in various forms, and they are different based on their colors and valuation.
You can earn money by practically doing almost anything inside the game, but here are the best ways to do so efficiently.
Best ways to make money in Avowed
We are still early on our journeys in Avowed, but Bounty Missions appear to be the way to go. These missions can be found in every region, and you'll usually come across a board with different posters. When you check on them, you'll be tasked with completing certain missions.
To complete the mission, just follow a quest marker to reach the required location. After defeating the target, search the body to have proof of your completed task. Go back to the city from where you received the quest and speak with the dedicated NPC to earn your rewards.
The amount of in-game currency you get will depend on the regions from where you obtained the bounty, but the general process is pretty rewarding. It's also simple as to why you should explore more regions. Doing so will help you discover more Bounty Missions and get more currency in the process.
![]()
Another useful way to get more money is by selling equipment that you're not going to use. There's no sense in keeping equipment that is already below the quality of your current setup, as it isn't worth stripping down for resources. Instead, selling the items will help you to get a lot more value in return. Always makes sure to open as many chests as possible as they will help you get valuables and equipment.
Similarly, you'll come across valuable items that can only be sold for money (they have no other uses), so be on the lookout for those as well. In the end, completing as many quests as possible will also help you become richer. Hence, try to complete the side quests as well along with finishing the main storyline.

After a crazy ending to Severance Season 2 Episode 4, Woe's Hollow, Episode 5 titled Trojan's Horse followed up with a not-as-crazy but still pretty wild ending. Let's break down what exactly was going on to Mark at the end of Episode 5.
![]()
What is going on with Mark?
In the final scene of Severance 2 Season 5, Trojan's Horse, we see Mark really going through it. For starters, he's still got that cough, the one that's seemingly been nagging him the last few episodes. When did we last see that? From Mark's work buddy Petey in Season 1 who had debilitating—and eventually fatal—effects from reintegration. As he goes to leave his reintegration session with Reghabi, a former Lumon surgeon who also assisted Petey, he hears his wife Gemma's voice.
As he tries to shake it off, Mark hears it again, before his surroundings change to the long black hallway from the Lumon severed floor that Irving often paints. He walks towards the voice of his wife, who seems to be reciting what Ms. Casey told Mark's innie during his Wellness Session. "Your outie listens to misc while shaving, but not while showering," he hears, trying to navigate what appears to be the halls of the Lumon severed floor searching for her.
The voice grows closer, "Your outie once called a butterfly," Mark hears, before turning around to see none other than his wife Gemma, as she appeared at Lumon on the severed floor—AKA like Ms. Casey—looking back at him. Mark freezes instantly with a look of fear, excitement, and sadness all at the same time. Which, by the way, Adam Scott has been absolutely killing it this season. Well, to be fair, the whole cast has.
Anyway, "Your outie is going to-," Gemma starts to tell him, before suddenly she disappears and Mark is back standing in his house, no longer in Lumon. Understandably, Mark bursts into tears. So what happened here?
It appears reintegration is happening for Mark
Early in Season 2 Mark made the choice to commence with reintegration. He held off in Season 1 after what happened to Petey, but learning his wife might actually still be alive, he made the decision to do it anyway. What happened at the end of Season 2 Episode 5 is exactly that: Mark is seeing/remembering the memories from his innie.
While it's great for Mark to get confirmation that his wife Gemma is still alive—at least in some way—it's clearly taking a toll on Mark as indicated by his increased coughing. That being said, there's no way Mark puts an end to it after finally making some progress toward finding his wife.
What else happened in Season 2 Episode 5?
Here's some other thoughts I have after watching the Severance Trojan's Horse episode, though beware some of these might be theories of an obsessed fan!

Early on in Severance Season 2 Episode 5, aptly titled Trojan's Horse, Milchick compares Helena Eagan going undercover as Helly since the events of the Season 1 finale to the story of Grakappan. (Prouncouced Grak-Shoe-Pin) But is the story of Grakappan actually real, or just made up by Milchick?
![]()
What is the Story of Grakappan?
The story of Grakappan is referenced by Milchick early on in the episode when Helly questions why her outie, Helean Eagan, was on the Severance floor imitating her. After pondering the question, Milchick responds with a question, "Have you ever heard the story of Grakappan?". Understandably, none of them had.
"In ancient times the King of Sweden himself was known to go incognito amongst his people in the hopes of learning their true grievances. He would don an old, gray robe, a Grakappan, the name for which he was remembered, to disguise his royal vestments," Milchick would explain. "Kier Eagan himself was known to do so in his ether factories, and Ms. Eagan was carrying on this noble tradition."
So, according to Milchick, Helena Eagan was essentially doing her own version of Undercover Boss to try and learn the grievances of the MDR team to make Lumon a better workplace. We, the viewers, know that is not the case, and thankfully Mark, Helly, and Dylan aren't buying it either.
The show, and more importantly management in Severance, like Milchick, are no strangers to making up stories, so it would be understandable to wonder if the story of Grakappan is actually true or even a real thing.
So is the Story of Grakappan actually real?
Yes, the story of Grakappan is actually real. After the end of the Scanian War between Sweden and Denmark in 1679, King Charles XI became known as the Greycoat, or the Grakappan in Swedish. He would intentionally disguise himself and visit villages across Sweden seeking to spot corruption against the populace from higher orders of power, usually the corrupt church.
One famous story from King Charles XI actions as Grakappan talks of him visiting a village in disarray while its priest lived lavishly, while another nearby village was in outstanding condition but its priest was in poverty. King Charles XI switched the two priests to solve this issue.
So the basis for Milchick's comparison of Helena Eagan's actions is based on real events. However, I wouldn't be surprised if his story about Kier Eagan doing the same as his ether factories is a fabricated part of the story.

Avowed has a pretty well-detailed cooking system built into the game that allows you to prepare different types of food from various ingredients.
All food items in the game have certain buffs, and some of them can be immensely helpful. Consuming the prepared recipes will also help you to restore your health and mana. Here's the complete list of all the available recipes in Avowed, along with the required ingredients and the buffs associated with them.
All cooking recipes in Avowed
Cooking, in general, is a simple task in Avowed. You can prepare any dish you want as long as you have the recipe and the ingredients. However, a few recipes do need certain perks before you can cook them up. You can find the resources yourself or just purchase them from the vendors.
That's pretty much all of it when it comes to cooking and getting food buffs in Avowed. Make sure to check out our review of the game to know more about what to expect in the new RPG, and if it's worth your time and money.

Traits in Verse Piece are one of the most important aspects of your character in Verse Piece. Primarily, they exponentially increase your damage and survivability. However, that's not all there is to them. Find out how to further buff your best traits with our Verse Piece trait passives guide below.
What are Trait Passives in Verse Piece?
Trait passives in Verse Piece increase the damage multiplier given by your trait. For example, with the Godly passive (50% increased damage) on the Betrayer trait (7.5x damage multiplier), you will deal 11.25x the damage. Damage increase from trait passives isn't shown anywhere. However, it works, and you can test it by hitting the dummy on the Starter Island with a fruit, spec, or sword.
Verse Piece Trait Passives List
Below is a list of all currently available trait passives in Verse Piece. The progression here is very linear. The rarer the passive, the more it will increase your damage. Keep in mind that the trait passive works only on the trait you rerolled it on.
How to Reroll Trait Passives in Verse Piece
In Verse Piece, you can reroll passives on your trait by interacting with the Passive Traits Reroll NPC found in Karakura Town. Each reroll costs you 2,500 Gems and one Corrupted Ticket. If you have a decent trait passive already, try to save up at least a hundred Corrupted Tickets before rerolling again unless you have a duplicate trait in your storage.
How to Get Corrupted Tickets
Corrupted Tickets are difficult to come by in Verse Piece as they drop only from Corrupted Bosses, which have 10m HP. Now, there is a relatively easy way to farm Corrupted Tickets if you have a decent build, and that is by doing Corrupted Boss Rush dungeons.
Each run contains five Corrupted Bosses, and you will need 10,000 Gems and 10 Dungeon Tickets to enter one. Corrupted Bosses drop one or two Corrupted Tickets, depending on whether there is an ongoing event that doubles material drops.
What Traits Are Worth Spending Corrupted Tickets On
In general, you want to spend Corrupted Tickets wisely, as they are relatively hard to come by. So, reroll passives on traits with the highest damage multiplier in Verse Piece. Good examples are Monarch, Betrayer, and Rejected Zenin traits. Lastly, if you have excess Corrupted Tickets, just save them until new traits come out.
I hope you are now ready to really max out your built-in Verse Piece with the trait passives guide above. If you want to claim some free materials, including Dungeon Tickets and Race Rerolls, then make sure to check out our Verse Piece codes.

Fruits are an essential part of all One Piece-inspired Roblox experiences, including Verse Piece. The best ones will help you progress much quicker and help you grind end-game content and PvP with ease. To learn which fruits are the best, check out our Verse Piece fruit tier list below!

Full Verse Piece Fruit List
How to Get Fruits in Verse Piece

Obtaining fruits in Verse Piece is an easy task. All you have to do is go to the Merchant Island, which is directly south-west of the Starter Island. There, you will find the Random Fruit NPC behind a pink stall. Interacting with them will cost you 25 crystals, and in return, you will get a random fruit in your inventory.
To learn the fruit's moveset, equip it and then use it by clicking M1. Note that doing this will overwrite your previous fruit. To open your inventory and see all the fruits that you have, press "~" (button above Tab) on your keyboard.
![]()
In case you end up with too many fruit in your inventory, you can use Backspace to drop a specific fruit to the ground (others will be able to pick it up). You can also throw away all the unequipped fruits by interacting with the Trash Bag that is next to the yellow stall on the same island.
That concludes our Verse Piece fruit tier list. To get more currency for fruit, race, and trait rerolls, redeem the codes from our Verse Piece code list.

Betrayer is undoubtedly one of the, if not the strongest, traits in Verse Piece. With Betrayer, grinding PvE content will be much easier, and you will certainly have the upper hand in PvP as well. Without further ado, let's find out how to get the Betrayer trait in Verse Piece!
Betrayer Trait Quest in Verse Piece
![]()
To get the Betrayer trait in Verse Piece, you will need to complete a specific quest related to it. You can find the quest NPC on top of a rock surrounding the Lost Isle, the island where bosses automatically spawn. There are two requirements for completing the Betrayer trait quest:
Make sure to swap your trait for one that you won't need because Betrayer will replace your current trait upon quest completion. Also, keep in mind that because the Betrayer trait doesn't have rarity, you won't get prompted to confirm if you want to reroll it.
How to Efficiently Complete The Betrayer Quest
Getting 50 kills won't be easy, especially if you are not max level and you don't have one of the meta swords, specs, or fruits in Verse Piece. So, to finish the quest quickly, you can make an alt account, join the same server, and farm kills on your main account.
Keep in mind that when someone dies in PvP, no one can damage them for a few minutes. However, there is a workaround for this. When your other character dies, go to the Roblox options menu and click the Respawn button. This way, when your character resets, they will be able to damage the character that previously killed them.
What Bonuses Does the Betrayer Trait Give?
![]()
The Betrayer trait gives you an insane x7.5 Damage Multiplier, along with +7500 to Defense. The only other traits in Verse Piece that are as strong are Monarch and Rejected Zenin. For a more detailed preview of all traits and trait passives in Verse Piece, check out our traits and trait passives guides.
As a side note, getting killed by a player with the Betrayer trait is needed to complete the Jinwoo Quest, unlock the 2nd Awakening title, and get the Sung Jin Woo sword.
That sums up everything you need to know about how to get the Betrayer trait in Verse Piece. If you want to get yourself some free Race Rerolls and storage expansion materials, then make sure to check out our Verse Piece codes.

Unlike traits and races, titles in Verse Piece don't increase your damage or your stats in any way. However, good titles make grinding levels and Gems a lot easier, especially early on. So, to help you out with unlocking all of them, we prepared the following Verse Piece title guide below.
What are Titles in Verse Piece?
Titles in Verse Piece multiply all Money, Gems, and XP that you get by killing mobs and Bosses or by rolling on the gacha machines in the Verse Arcade. Titles are unlocked in various ways. For example, you can get titles by leveling up, completing quests, and killing Bosses. Some titles are also needed to unlock certain Specs and Swords.
Verse Piece Title List
How to Equip Titles in Verse Piece
![]()
To equip a title in Verse Piece, talk to the Title Equipment NPC on the Starter Island and click the "Equip" button in its box. You can switch between titles whenever you want. However, it's best just to equip the one that boosts your XP, Money, and Gem gain the most. Also, you don't have to equip a title if you need to get a Sword or a Spec in Verse Piece. Just having a title unlocked is enough.
Verse Piece Title Progression
Early on, try to get the Honored One by rerolling your traits whenever you can. After that, your best bet is to try and get a title by completing dungeons or killing bosses. You can find someone to help you with this on the public servers or by asking on the Verse Piece Discord server.
Lastly, grind and unlock the Los Lobos title, as it is the best title in Verse Piece. While you defeat 25 Starkk (LL) Bosses to get it, you might even get the Los Lobos Clothes accessory. Second Awakening is also a great one to have because it's needed to unlock the best sword in the game, Sung Jin Woo.
And that sums up everything you need to know about titles in Verse Piece. If you want to check out more of our VP content, visit the Verse Piece hub here on Destructoid.

Abilities are one of the most important aspects in Verse Piece, both in PvE and PvP, as their destructive ability and damage are through the roof. However, not all of them are created equal, so think carefully before settling for any one Ability. To make your choice easier, we have created a simple and detailed Verse Piece Abilities guide and tier list below.
Verse Piece Abilities Tier List
![]()
The tier list above ranks all Abilities in Verse Piece based on their overall damage and the utility they provide in and outside of battle. The S-Tier Abilities, such as Cid's Atomic (All Range), Kurohitsugi (Maximum Output), and TNT, are especially powerful and should be aimed for when rerolling. Good Abilities that are useful early on are Conqueror Haki and Malevolent Shrine.
Verse Piece Abilities List
Below are all Verse Piece Abilities, listed by rarity and explained in detail:
What Are Abilities in Verse Piece?
Abilities in Verse Piece are similar to some Sword and Spec moves. However, they usually have a much longer cooldown. There are some unique abilities as well, like the Gatekeeper, which lets you quickly teleport to various Verse Piece islands. You can use an Ability by clicking (R) on your keyboard. To view your currently equipped Ability, navigate to the Stats menu.
How to Reroll and Store Abilities in Verse Piece?
Rerolling abilities in Verse Piece is quite easy, and the only thing you need is an Ability Reroll. Click on it to equip it from your inventory, and then use it to reroll your current Ability. Ability Rerolls can be hard to come by, as they mostly drop from Mythical and Exotic Chests, so use them carefully. However, if you want to farm them extensively, then your best bet is fishing in Verse Piece.
![]()
Storing abilities in Verse Piece is also simple but can be tricky, as your Ability Storage space is limited, and you need to manage it well. But don't worry; there are many ways to expand your Ability Storage and save certain abilities for future use.
How to Get Ability Rerolls
The easiest way to get Ability Rerolls in Verse Piece is to open Mythical and Exotic Chests that drop from Bosses found in dungeons and on some islands. Every time you open a chest, you will get five rewards, such as Enhance Stones for Accessories and possibly some Ability Rerolls. Bosses can be challenging, so don't be afraid to ask other players for help. An easier way is to trade with other players, which can be done at any point and on any level.
How to Get Ability Storage
Ability Storage is important because it might take you a while to get the Ability you are rolling for. The best way to get Ability Storage is by using codes. However, you can also purchase it from the Adventure Shop if you are lucky enough to stop by when they are in stock.
And that concludes our Verse Piece abilities guide. Make sure to check out our Verse Piece Codes for free race and ability rerolls, as well as many other goodies.

Apart from Swords, Specs, and Artifacts, Accessories are essential equippable items in Verse Piece. They can push your build to the limit by enhancing your most important stats. But not all Accessories are equally strong. So, we made the following Verse Piece Accessories guide and tier list to help you out.
What are Accessories in Verse Piece
![]()
Accessories in Verse Piece are items that a player can equip to buff their overall stats. Different Accessories give different bonuses, and some are much stronger than others. Some increase your Special Attack, while others increase your Defense or Sword Damage. So, pay attention to what stats you need to max out the damage of your moves and abilities.
Verse Piece Accessories Tier List
If you are having trouble choosing an Accessory to go with, check out the following Verse Piece Accessories Tier List:
![]()
The Los Lobos Clothes is without a doubt the strongest Accessory in the game with its all-around maximum stats, but it can be very hard to acquire. If you have no luck grinding for the high-end Accessories, good starting choices would be Itachi's Cloak, Hidan's Cloak, or Madara's Armor. All three are easily purchasable by completing a few dungeons.
Verse Piece Accessories List
Below is a detailed and complete list of all Accessories in Verse Piece, along with the stats they provide and where you can get them from:
How to Get Accessories in Verse Piece
![]()
The main way to acquire Accessories in Verse Piece is by fighting bosses and getting their loot drops. These bosses appear randomly throughout the map, so make sure to pay attention to the top-right of the screen where their health bar appears. You can also find them by looking out for Red Skulls that appear above them. Also, some Accessories are only available from various dungeon and event NPCs.
How to Upgrade Accessories in Verse Piece
Upgrading your Accessories in Verse Piece can be quite RNG-heavy. First, you will need to collect Enhance Stones and then roll to upgrade an Accessory. Each roll has a 90% chance to fail and only a 10% chance to succeed. You can upgrade Accessories up to five times. So, on average, you will need 50 Enhance Stones to max out a single Accessory in Verse Piece.
How to Get Enhance Stones in Verse Piece
The best and easiest way to get Enhance Stones in Verse Piece is to open chests that drop from bosses. Depending on which type of chest you are opening, your chances of getting Enhance Stones can vary quite a lot. Your best bet is to open Mythic and Exotic chests at the end. You can also trade Enhance Stones with other Verse Piece players if you have an item of appropriate or similar value.
That sums up everything you need to know about Accessories in Verse Piece. If you want to check out more of our Verse Piece guides and tier lists, visit the Verse Piece section of Destructoid.

Artifacts are an excellent tool for turning tides in various PvP and PvE engagements in Verse Piece. They give incredible buffs and unique effects that are not found anywhere else in the game. If you want to know which Artifacts are good or bad and which ones are a must-have, then follow our Verse Piece Artifact guide and tier list below.

Farming for Artifacts in Verse Piece is hard work, but don't be discouraged if you do not get the best ones, like Ice or Saiya Artifacts, at first. A good starting one is the Intelligent Artifact because it reduces all your cooldowns. Another good pick is the Wind Artifact, which lets you zoom around the map. Use the Turbo and the Recovery artifacts only if you have no other options.
Verse Piece Artifact List
Below is a complete list of all Artifacts in Verse Piece sorted by their position on the tier list. We also highlighted which Artifacts are good in PvP or PvE. In general, most Artifacts work as passive abilities that you don't have to activate. However, some Artifacts, like the Turbo one, can be used by pressing the Y button on your keyboard.
How to Get Artifacts in Verse Piece
Artifacts are very important, but getting them is not an easy task. There are two ways to get Artifacts in Verse Piece. Firstly, you can get Artifacts by opening Mythical and Exotic Chests. The other method is to start fishing, which is the best way of farming materials in general.
![]()
Chests mostly drop from Bosses that spawn around the map. However, these bosses usually have long respawn times. So, if you want to farm chests efficiently, just do dungeons that contain only bosses, like the Boss rush ones.

Becoming the strongest is everyone's goal in Verse Piece. However, you won't get far on that road without a good Sword by your side. Now, one of the best Swords currently available in Verse Piece is also very tricky to get. So, we prepared the following guide on how to get Sung Jin Woo Sword in Verse Piece to help you out.
What is Sung Jin Woo's Sword in Verse Piece
Sung Jin Woo is, without a doubt, the best Sword in Verse Piece. With its versatile moveset and devastating damage, SJW outranks every other Sword by far, with only Cid V2 close behind it. It can also summon a special unit, Igris, to fight for you for a limited time. Below, we will take a closer look at SJW's moveset in Verse Piece.

The Sung Jin Woo Quest NPC is located in Karakura Town. You can find him between the two tunnels, behind a line of houses on the left side of the island. To start the Jin Woo quest, you will need to be level 5000+.
The 2nd Awakening quest itself is simple, but it can take you a while to complete it, as it requires you to get killed 100 times by a player with the Betrayer trait. To get done with the quest quickly, either find a friend to do it with you or ask someone to help you out on the Verse Piece Discord server.
How to Get the Knight Dagger and the Basaka Dagger
To get the Basaka Dagger and the Knight Dagger in Verse Piece, you need to complete the Shadow Monarch dungeon. Sounds simple, but it's harder than it looks. The rewards are not guaranteed, and to open the dungeon on the Runes Island, you need 5,000 Gems and x3 Dungeon Tickets.
The Shadow Monarch dungeon has two Bosses, Igris and Sung Jin Woo. Igris drops some powerful accessories, while Sung Jin Woo drops the Basaka and Knight Daggers. Grinding the Shadow Monarch dungeon is the optimal way to get the SJW daggers, but you can also try to trade for them with other players.
How to Farm Gems for Sung Jin Woo Sword
![]()
The quickest way to farm Gems for the Sung Jin Woo Sword in Verse Piece is to kill Boss enemies. Bosses can spawn around the map at set intervals. However, to make the Gem grind more efficient, do Boss Rush dungeons instead. Also, make sure to equip a title with the biggest Gem multiplier.
How to Get the Monarch Trait
This can be the easiest or the most challenging step of them all, depending on your luck. To get the Monarch trait, go to the Trait Reroll NPC in Frost Town. From there, you will have to roll traits until you receive the Monarch trait. The tricky part is that there is only a 0.025% chance of rolling any Exotic Trait, so this might take you a long time. Each reroll is 25 Gems, so make sure you bring a lot of gems.
![]()
The Monarch trait itself is very powerful as it increases all your stats by 10,000 and gives you an x7.5 damage multiplier. Keep in mind that you will lose the Monarch trait when you buy the Sung Jin Woo Sword. So, if you have a good trait passive on it, it's better to save it for later and roll for another Monarch trait that you will sacrifice.
How to Upgrade Sung Jin Woo Sword in Verse Piece
![]()
To upgrade the Sung Jin Woo Sword, you will need around 50 Enhance Stones, which you can get by opening Mythical and Exotic Chests. Potentially, you might need less than that if the RNG is on your side. Anyways, once you have a few Enhance Stones to spare, head to the Blacksmith Isle and interact with the Blacksmith NPC while you have SJW equipped.
That sums up everything you need to know about how you get Sung Jin Woo Sword in Verse Piece. If you want to really max out your build with unique skills, then check out our Verse Piece abilities and artifacts guides.

Swords in Verse Piece are your go-to damage option in the late game. However, there is a huge difference in damage output between certain swords. Some swords have way better M1 damage, CC, and AoE to boot. So, to help you decide which swords to grind for, we prepared the following Verse Piece swords guide and tier list below.
What are Swords in Verse Piece?
Swords are your primary damage source in Verse Piece, especially in the late game. They grant you enhanced M1 attacks and a variety of other powerful moves. Each sword has up to five moves (Z, X, C, V, F). Lower rarity swords usually only have two or three, while Mythic and Exotic swords usually have at least four moves and very high damage.
Verse Piece Swords Tier List
![]()
The above tier list ranks all swords in Verse Piece primarily based on their DPS, M1 damage, AoE, and the amount of CC they have. When calculating the DPS of each sword, we took the cooldown and channel time of their moves into consideration as well. In the list further in the guide, we listed only the base damage for each of the sword's moves.
Best Swords in Verse Piece
Sung Jin Woo is currently the best sword in Verse Piece, as it has the highest DPS and M1 damage of all swords. Cid V2 is a close second with more damage in his kit but with less overall DPS because of his M1 damage and long cooldowns. Toji, Red Mist, Yoriichi, and Kokushibo are all great, with decent AoE and very high damage that is only slightly lower than Cid V2's. Swords placed in A tier and below either lack M1 damage, DPS, or AoE when compared to the S-tier swords.
Verse Piece Swords List
Below is a list of all swords in Verse Piece, including swords that you can't get anymore. The moves of each sword are also described in the following list, along with the requirements needed to obtain each sword. Keep in mind that damage values for each sword move do not represent their overall DPS.
How to Upgrade Swords in Verse Piece
![]()
You can upgrade your swords in Verse Piece by interacting with the Blacksmith NPC on the Blacksmith Isle. However, each upgrade costs you one Enhance Stone, and there is only a 10% chance of it being successful. So, on average, you will need 50 Enhance Stones to max out a sword.
How to Get Enhance Stones
![]()
The best way to farm Enhance Stones in Verse Piece is to start fishing. Alternatively, you can get Enhance Stones by opening any type of chest. Chests are dropped by Bosses found around the map and in dungeons. The best method for farming chests is grinding Boss Rush dungeons. Each Boss Rush dungeon contains five Bosses, and all of them drop one to two chests when you defeat them.
I hope the above tier list helps you focus your grind on the best swords in Verse Piece. If you want to find out how to really max out your build, then check out our Verse Piece abilities and trait passives guides.

List of All Verse Piece Dungeons

Limited Verse Piece Dungeons
Permanent Verse Piece Dungeons
Unavailable Verse Piece Dungeons
How to Enter a Dungeon and Change Its Difficulty to Hard
Up to six players can join a dungeon portal in Verse Piece. You can open a portal by spending Gems and Dungeon Tickets at the Spawn Dungeon NPC on Runes Island. Certain dungeons have easy and hard versions of them. To play the hard mode of a dungeon that has it, click on the "Hard" button in the top right corner of your screen before the first wave begins. At the end of a dungeon, you can choose to replay it for a faster farming experience.
How to Get Dungeon Tickets in Verse Piece
![]()
The best way to farm Dungeon Tickets in Verse Piece is by fishing. However, you can also get Dungeon Tickets in Verse Piece by opening chests, which drop from bosses within Verse Piece dungeons. Bosses also spawn around the map at set intervals. Alternatively, you can exchange Mythical materials at the Ticket Exchange NPC for Dungeon Tickets.
Where to Spend Dungeon Medals and Other Dungeon Currencies?
You can spend Dungeon Medals and other currencies you get from dungeons at the exchange NPCs scattered around the Verse Piece map. Each exchange NPC has its stock of items they are selling. Currently, you can exchange your dungeon currencies at these vendors:
That concludes our guide to dungeons in Verse Piece. If you intend to make the best build you can in Verse Piece, then you will need our race and traits tier list to help you out, so make sure to check them out.

Fishing in Verse Piece is the easiest and the best way to farm materials such as Race and Ability Rerolls. Furthermore, by fishing, you can get one of the most challenging items to get in Verse Piece, the Limitbreak Stones. So that you can quickly start catching the big game in Verse Piece, we prepared the following fishing guide to help you out.
How to Start Fishing in Verse Piece
![]()
To start fishing in Verse Piece, go to the edge of the Starter Island closest to the Lost Isle. There, you will first have to buy the Fishook from the Fishhook Seller NPC. Then, you can cast the Fishhook by interacting with one of the three circles on the ground close by. Fishing doesn't require any additional input in Verse Piece, but you can get kicked out of the server after 20 minutes if you don't move at all.
How to Get the Fishook and the Golden Fishook in Verse Piece
You can get the Fishhook and the Golden Fishhook by purchasing them from the Fishhook Seller on the Starter Island. Fishhooks won't be in your inventory. However, you can distinguish which one you have by the color of your rod while fishing in Verse Piece. Lastly, these are the materials you need to purchase both fishhooks and where you can find them:
How to Upgrade Your Fishook
![]()
Upgrading your Fishhook should be on your priority list as soon as you start catching some Fish in Verse Piece. Upgrades cost 5, 15, and 25 fish, respectively. You can find the Fishhook Upgrader on a ledge close to the fishing spots on the Starter Island. You only have to upgrade your fishhooks once, as the upgrades carry over to the Golden Fishhook.
Getting Different Baits in Verse Piece
![]()
There are three different fishing baits you can get in Verse Piece: Golden Bait, Enhance Bait, and Limitbreak Bait. With each bait upgrade, you will start fishing out better and better items. The Limitbreak Bait, specifically, lets you catch Limitbreak Stones, which are extremely difficult to come by. Here is a preview of each Bait upgrade and the materials needed for them:
Loot From Fishing in Verse Piece and the Fisherman Trait
The Fisherman trait in Verse Piece improves your fishing rewards slightly. So, instead of receiving four rewards per fishing cycle, you get five. In general, you get the same loot from fishing as you would from chests. However, you can't farm chests nearly as fast as you can fish. With the Golden Fishhook, all three fishhook upgrades, Limitbreak Bait, and Fisherman trait, you get five rewards every ten seconds.
The most valuable items you can get by fishing in Verse Piece are definitely Race and Ability Rerolls, Dungeon Tickets, Artifacts, Enhance Stones, and Limitbreak Stones. You can also get various other materials needed for crafting swords and specs. Now, you will max out those materials relatively quickly in your inventory. So, make sure to sell them at the Adventure Shop for some easy Gems.
Now, you are ready to become a master angler in Verse Piece and maybe even guide others on their own fishing expeditions. If you are in for more of our Verse Piece content, then make sure to check out the Verse Piece section of Destructoid.

Destructoid Thursday, February 13, 2025 8:22 PM Ultimate Verse Piece Traits Guide & Tier List [Sukuna V2 Rerun] – How to Get & Store the Best Traits
Traits are one of the essential parts of your character progression in Verse Piece. Traits boost your damage and increase your stats, while some allow you to unlock weapons that make leveling a breeze. Find out which traits to go for when rerolling with our Verse Piece traits guide down below!
Verse Piece Trait Tier List
![]()
The above tier list ranks all Verse Piece traits from best to worst based on how much they increase your damage and stats overall. In general, higher damage multiplier values give you more DPS than flat Special and Sword stat bonuses. Defense stat bonuses are exponentially stronger if you pair them up with a race such as Half Cyborg.
How do Traits Work in Verse Piece?
In Verse Piece, traits multiply your damage no matter what Weapon, Spec, or Fruit you are using. This increase in damage becomes much more noticeable when you boost them with the right trait passives. Most traits in Verse Piece increase your stats as well. Some traits give you titles, like the Honored One, while others, such as Zenin and Heavenly Restriction, are used to acquire Maki and Toji weapons.
Complete Verse Piece Traits List
How to Get Traits in Verse Piece
![]()
You can reroll traits in Verse Piece by paying five gems to the Traits Reroll NPC. You can find them on the Frost Town island. There is a safety feature when rerolling that requires you to confirm if you want to reroll Legendary, Mythic, or Exotic traits, so reroll without worries. You can see your current trait in Verse Piece, the damage multiplier, and the stat points it gives you in your character menu.
How to Store Traits in Verse Piece
In Verse Piece, if you want to save one of the traits you rolled for later use in getting a weapon or a spec that requires it, you can store it in your trait storage. Keep in mind that you first need to unlock trait storage slots by using the Trait Storage material.
![]()
You can purchase Trait Storage from the Adventure Shop on the Merchant Island or trade for it with someone. Later, you will want to have at least one trait storage slot because it allows you to save your current trait before rerolling.
Verse Piece Trait Progression
When you just start out in the Verse Piece world, try to get traits like God-Like or Spiritual because of the stat boost they provide. For the mid-game, Zenin and Heavenly Restriction boost your damage while allowing you to obtain legendary-tier weapons, so go for them. However, later on, Mythic and Exotic tier traits are the way to go if you want to stay competitive in Verse Piece.
![]()
Honored One is the best Mythic trait because of the title you get with it, while Rage Revenge offers slightly more damage. Your end-game goals should be Monarch, Rejected Zenin, and the Betrayer, as they are the best traits in Verse Piece.
This is it for our Verse Piece traits guide. If you are looking to claim some freebies, including free Race Rerolls and Storage, then check out our list of Verse Piece codes.

Swords in Verse Piece are your best damage option in the late game. However, some swords are straight out better than others. One of those swords is Cid V2, and what's even better is that grinding for it is very straightforward. So, if you want to know how to get the Cid V2 sword in Verse Piece, follow our guide below.
Table of Contents
What is the Cid V2 Sword in Verse Piece
The Cid V2 sword is one of the most powerful swords you can have in Verse Piece. Overall, Cid V2's kit has more damage than Sung Jin Woo's, but its M1s deal slightly less damage. Another thing with Cid V2 is that its V and F moves have very long animations. Still, Cid V2 is the easiest to get meta sword in Verse Piece because of how easy it is to clear the Shadow Castle Dungeon.
How to Get Cid V2 Sword in Verse Piece
![]()
In Verse Piece, you can get the Cid V2 sword by interacting with the Cid's NPC at the top of the clock tower in Frost Town. However, you will need the following materials to obtain it: Cid V1 sword, 10k Gems, 2 Cid's Eyes, Shadow King trait, and the Shadow Garden title. Gems are most easily farmed by defeating bosses in the Verse Piece Dungeons. For each of the other materials needed for Cid V2, we dedicated a separate section further in the guide.
How to Farm Shadow Fragments
![]()
![]()
![]()
Shadow Fragments in Verse Piece drop from enemies inside the Shadow Castle Dungeon. However, you get a lot more Shadow Fragments per run when clearing the Shadow Castle Dungeon on the Hard difficulty. On average, you will get around 300 Shadow Fragments per run, which takes around a minute to complete. At that rate, you can purchase most of the Cid V2 components in around half an hour of grinding the Verse Piece Shadow Castle Dungeon.
How to Get the Cid V1 Sword
![]()
There are two ways to get the Cid V1 sword in Verse Piece. First is by purchasing Cid V1 from the Event Exchange NPC on Starter Island for 1000 Shadow Fragments. The other way is to hope to get it from the Cid Boss in the Shadow Castle Dungeon. However, the odds of that happening are only 1%. On average, it takes four Shadow Castle Dungeon runs on hard difficulty to get enough Shadow Fragments and buy Cid V1 without having to rely on luck.
How to Grind for Cid's Eyes
Similar to the Cid V1 sword, Cid's Eyes can drop from the Cid Boss in Shadow Castle Dungeon on Hard difficulty. However, it is better to purchase Cid's Eyes at the same Event Exchange NPC for 2500 Shadow Fragments. Keep in mind that you need two Cid's Eyes for the Cid V2 sword in Verse Piece, and the maximum amount of Shadow Fragments you can have at a time is 2500. So, you will have to leave the dungeon to purchase one Eye and then continue to grind for another.
Rerolling the Shadow King Trait
![]()
The Shadow King trait can be obtained by rerolling your traits at the Trait Reroll NPC in Frost Town. However, keep in mind that the Shadow King trait is an Exotic trait in Verse Piece, which means you only have a 0.025% chance to get it. For that, you will need a lot of Gems potentially, so make sure to either sell your excess materials at the Adventure Shop or farm some Boss Rush dungeons.
Obtaining the Shadow Garden Title
![]()
To get the Shadow Garden title in Verse Piece, complete the Shadow Castle Dungeon 10 times on the Hard difficulty. You shouldn't try to aim for this title, as you will get it simply by farming for the Cid V1 sword and the Cid's Eyes. Also, you don't need to equip the title before heading to the Cid's NPC and claiming the Cid V2 sword in Verse Piece.
How to Upgrade the Cid V2 Sword in Verse Piece
![]()
You can upgrade the Cid V2 sword in Verse Piece by talking to the Blacksmith NPC on Blacksmith Isle. Each upgrade has a 10% chance of success, and it costs you one Enhance Stone to try your luck with it. On average, you need around 50 Enhance Stones to upgrade Cid V2 fully. Enhance Stones drop from any chest in Verse Piece. However, the best way to farm Enhance Stones is by fishing.
That sums up everything you need to know on how to get the Cid V2 sword in Verse Piece. If you are looking to really round out your build in the late game, then check out our Verse Piece race and trait passives guides.

Race is one of the most important characteristics of your character in Verse Piece. A testament to that is the fact that Race Rerolls are used as an intermediary currency when trading. Some races in Verse Piece are so powerful that they make you invulnerable in PvP. With all that in mind, we prepared the following Verse Piece race tier list to help you out when rerolling.
Verse Piece Race Tier List
![]()
The above tier list ranks each race in Verse Piece based on how strong it is overall, both in PvE and PvP. In general, Exotic races are just way stronger than all others, with very few exceptions. Contractor is the strongest race in Verse Piece overall, with Dragonic being very close behind. Shadow is the best race for PvP simply because it makes you immune to other players' damage.
List of All Verse Piece Races
Here is a list of all races in Verse Piece, sorted by their rank on the tier list, along with the bonuses they give you. The percentages next to their rarities show the odds of getting a specific race when using Race Rerolls.
How do Races Work in Verse Piece
![]()
Races in Verse Piece give you specific passive bonuses just like traits do. Races don't increase your stats, but they can multiply your damage and give you some unique buffs. For example, the Vampire race lets you lifesteal health back when dealing damage. Also, rerolling your race is a lot more difficult because you need Race Rerolls to do that.
How to Reroll Races
You can reroll your race by using Race Reroll materials from your inventory. When rerolling, you will have to confirm if you want to reroll a Legendary, Mythical, or Exotic race. You can get Race Rerolls either by opening chests, fishing, trading, buying them from the Adventure Shop NPC, or by redeeming Verse Piece codes.
How to Store Races
![]()
To store your race in Verse Piece, you will first need to expand your race storage. For this, you will need a Race Storage material, which can be obtained in the same way as Race Rerolls. With at least one unlocked slot in your race storage, you can then click on the race in your inventory to switch it out with the race currently on you.
Verse Piece Race Progression
In the beginning, try to get either Reaper or Arrancar so that you can improve the damage of your Sword and Fruit. Once you get a bit more Race Rerolls, try to get either Demonic, Vessel, or Vampire. If you are lucky early, or if you start obtaining more and more Race Rerolls, try to aim either for Contractor, Shadow, or Dragonic, as they are the best races in Verse Piece.
That concludes our Verse Piece race guide and tier list. If you want to check out more of our VP content, then visit the Verse Piece section of Destructoid.

After unlocking Kuttenberg for the first time in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, you'll team up with Zizka to track down the Dry Devil. Soon after, you'll be ambushed and forced to fight in an outnumbered battle that can be quite tricky. Here's how to survive that battle and Rescue the Dry Devil in Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2.
![]()
How to survive the ambush and Rescue the Dry Devil
The final part of the Speak of the Devil main story quest will send you out to Rescue the Dry Devil. On the way, your group is ambushed and you end up having to fight what is essentially a 12v3 battle. If you're not careful, this quickly becomes like a 10v1 and can be near impossible to actually survive. Thankfully, there is a strategy you can employ to turn the tide of battle.
To survive the ambush, you really need to make use of the Pistole hand cannon you just looted before the ambush. Even though it's a bit clunky to use, it is a one-shot kill even through the most armored of units. As soon as you gain control of Henry, you want to charge forward a bit and look for the Captain of the group who is clad in full black armor including a helmet. Quickly aim your Pistole at him and fire, and you will take him out in one kill.
If you don't take out this Captain quickly, he will go on an absolute rampage, quickly taking down all of your allies which can make the rest of the fight brutal. Once he's out of the way, keep using your Pistole to take out the armored enemies, as well as helping out your allied units so they don't go down. They are invaluable for this fight as they will take the aggro of one or two people themselves.
![]()
Another cheese strategy for Rescue the Dry Devil
Despite the above strategy, it can still be a tricky fight. In fact, I'd argue this is one of the more frustrating parts of Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2. Fortunately, there's a bit of a cheese strat you can execute to make surviving this ambush easier. You'll first want to take out the Captain using your Pistole, but afterward, turn around and look for the far wagon cart full of straw. Not the one immediately close to you, but the one behind that.
Hop onto this wagon cart and position yourself firmly in the straw. The remaining enemies will charge the cart, but don't know how to actually get to you, so they just sort of stand around it with their weapons drawn. You can then pick them off easily one-by-one either using your Pistole or even a bow or crossbow.
The only caveat to this strategy is that depending on your positioning, the enemy archers can still shoot you which is annoying. I recommend trying to take them out first, but you can also maneuver yourself so that melee-armed enemies are between you and the archer. They will then hold off on firing out of fear of hitting their allies.
Regardless of the strategy you use, once you take out all of the enemies that are part of the ambush, you will Rescue the Dry Devil and complete the Speak of the Devil main story quest!

Once you touch down on the lands of Dawnshore, you'll never be alone with the help of your allies. Although there isn't necessarily a bad choice with your teammates, some will prove more beneficial than others. We're here to rank them all with this Avowed Companion tier list.
Best Avowed Companions, ranked
With this tier list, we'll look into each Avowed Companion's Commands and Abilities to determine their advantages for your journey. We'll begin with the best of the best with S Tier, then work our way down to the slightly lower ones with B Tier.
S Tier - Yatzli
![]()
Having a formidable mage like Yatzli by your side will undoubtedly turn the tide of battle, making every challenge feel like a breeze. All her Abilities focus on offense, from her bursting Essence Explosion to the deadly Minoletta's Missile Battery. Enemies won't really stand a chance against her, especially when they get caught up in her Arduous Delay of Motion.
To top it off, Yatzli clears out a bunch of enemies with her Blast, covering a small area of impact for multiple hits. Like Kai and Giatta, she'll help clear out "Illusionary Objects" blockages using the handy Companion Command.
S Tier - Giatta
![]()
Giatta is the best support character in Avowed, providing a vast array of buffs to your entire team. Her Purification skill offers an additional 25 percent of your maximum health, which will pair nicely with her Reconstruction healing ability. Not only does she restore health, but she also coats a shield around you through her Barrier skill and boosts movement/attack speed with Acceleration.
It'll be hard to knock you down when Giatta's around, even against Avowed's colossal creatures. Furthermore, she'll help you with puzzles by opening locked doorways with her electrifying Spectral Jolt.
A Tier - Kai
![]()
Kai is one of the most balanced Companions, thriving in defensive and offensive strategies. Many of his Abilities will halt enemies through its stunning properties, including Fire and Ice and Leap of Daring. You also don't have to worry too much about Kai while he's on the field since he can revive himself with Second Wind, giving him another chance on the battlefield.
In addition to his Second Wind, Kai's Unbending Defense regenerates health and reduces damage by 25 percent to further his survivability. And, as a bonus, he can burn off most debris, so you don't have to waste your Essence with a flame-based spell. It'll assist you with quests like the Totem of Rightful Rulership.
B Tier - Marius
![]()
Although Marius is at the bottom of the list, his unique strengths make him a valuable Companion, especially for exploration. I've relied on his Hunter's Sense Command, pinpointing enemies, loot, and plants nearby. His guiding waypoint ensures you don't miss out on any valuables, specifically with hidden chests.
As for Marius' Abilities, he's a beast when it comes to combat, inflicting bleeding accumulation through Wounding Shots and firing piercing shots with Heart Seeker. He's relatively swift on the battlefield, too, sneaking up on foes using his Shadow Step.
