What is Helltide?
At some parts of the map, there can be a random event of a ‘helltide’. The sky changes and the whole earth becomes shrouded in the clouds of the further threat as Helltide will be around and the environment in the place becomes even more dangerous.
The monsters within this area become stronger during this event and hence making the entire region difficult. The payout, however, are considerably greater than average.
The purpose of Helltide is to collect a specific currency called Cinders. During Helltide, you get Cinders by killing opponents, destroying chests, and completing mini-activities.
They may be incorporated into extremely essential content, as they are called upon to open chests called Tortured Chests which contain valuable items, such as legendary equipment and rare crafting materials.

- Remain Alive: There are the following rules: if you die during Helltide, then you lose half of the Cinders you have collected. Especially if you’re saving money to open a Tortured Chest, this might be disheartening. Do not let yourself lose Cinders, be careful during the gameplay, do not take unnecessary risks and use your SP whenever possible.
