The Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross is now celebrating its 5th anniversary with the grand 5th Anniv Holy War Festival, a massive update packed with exciting new content, exclusive events, and incredible rewards for both longtime players and newcomers. Netmarble has rolled out one of its most feature-rich updates yet, introducing fresh gameplay modes, powerful heroes, and engaging story expansions to commemorate this milestone.
New Liones Defensive War PvE Mode
At the heart of the celebration is the brand-new *Liones Defensive War* PvE mode. In this strategic team-based challenge, players must defend the mighty Castle Wall of Liones from relentless monster invasions. The twist? Battles are fought using a preset deck of 12 heroes, with only four active in combat at any given time. This mechanic emphasizes tactical planning and hero synergy, making it both a test of skill and strategy as you prepare for waves of increasingly difficult enemies.
More Characters Join the Fray
As part of the 5th Anniv Holy War Festival, a powerful new hero makes his debut: [Blackened Wings] Angel of Despair Mael, a Dark-attribute UR rarity hero. Players can obtain Mael through the *Prelude to Doom* special draw, where he is guaranteed at 900 mileage. Alongside him, other high-tier heroes such as [Eternal Sun] Escanor the Indomitable and [Broken Balance] Chaos Arthur are also available—offering expanded team-building possibilities and fresh meta options.
Several Limited-Time Events to Participate In
To keep the festivities lively, the update brings a variety of limited-time events and rewards. A generous check-in calendar lets you earn up to 220 free draws via the Special Draw Event and valuable Book of Heroes III items. Additionally, players can collect three guaranteed UR heroes by reaching specific mileage milestones—making this an ideal time to strengthen your roster.
Wish Box Event and Bonus Activities
Don’t miss out on the *Wish Box Event*, which offers a bounty of rewards including 200 Diamonds, 100 Special Tickets, upgrade materials, and exclusive hero costumes. Completing missions in the Book of Heroes also grants bonus items like UR Evolution Pendants and Super Awakening Coins. Additional fun comes in the form of mini-events such as *Whack-a-Hawk* and *Boss Parade*, providing casual yet rewarding diversions during the main celebration.
Expanded Story Content and New Holy Relics
Beyond the anniversary festivities, the game world expands further with new chapters in the *Four Knights of the Apocalypse* storyline, following Percival’s journey to Liones. Clearing these new stages unlocks Artifact Cards that enhance character progression. Two new Holy Relics have also been introduced—one for the Demon King and another for Jericho—both obtainable through Demonic Beast Battles, adding new layers of depth to endgame content.
