GM INFO

Your Power level caps 25 levels below the activity level. For Season 20, that means combatants will be 1840, but you will be 1815 at the most.
Combatants can take more hits, deal more damage and are quite aggressive.
Champions will be abundant, so be sure to have the proper weapons to deal with them.
There’s one Burn, that will cause you to receive 25% more damage from a certain element.
Also, two elemental Surges and Overcharged weapons, both granting a 25% damage increase.
Revives are limited. And after a certain amount of time, Darkness will encroach and you won’t be able to revive or be revived.
