The Holy War Festival update has hit the Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross mobile servers on the 15th of March and the patch notes have revealed some exciting items, heroes and changes coming for the enthusiasts to enjoy.

To start off, the Holy War Festival Part 1 stages have been unveiled, a Power-Up Check-in Event available to kickstart the festivities. The Hawk Pass Loyalty Shop is now officially open and players will be required to complete special missions, Buff Events, Diamond Perks and Hawk’s Awesome Cards event among other objectives to gain Loyalty Points. 

The main reveal of the update and the Holy War Festival is the introduction of Assault Mode Berserk Meliodas. Players can unlock Berserk Meliodas in exchange for 900 Loyalty Points, which they will gain by completing objectives for the Hawk Pass Loyalty Rewards. 

The Final Boss Escanor has also arrived. The One Escanor is the new Final Boss and players will get a chance to go toe-to-toe with the godly version of Escanor that reserves the prospect of tapping into its Immortality power once his Health Points fall below a certain threshold. It will be intriguing to see how players are able to pass this hurdle as new stories and chapters are added to fill in the Final Boss Escanor and Assault Mode Berserk Meliodas into the grand scheme of things.

Hawk’s Awesome Cards Event sees Master Hawk turn into a Fortune Teller. Players need to visit Master Hawk’s Fortune Telling and flip cards for various rewards from the 15th of March up to the 29th of March. Rewards include various upgrade materials and The Four Archangels, Sariel of Tornado’s costume set as well. 

Buff Events are set to equip players with 2x Player Rank Experience, Enhance Heroes and increase the Super and Ultra Success Rate while also salvaging the same when facing others.

The Lucky Box event offers players a chance to win up to 1000 Diamonds in the wake of the celebration of the release of Assault Mode Berserk Meliodas. There is a new Growth event named The Trio of Troublemakers Defense Training. 

New Costume Sets and Bundles have also been introduced to match the Holy War Festival theme. With the release of Assault Mode Berserk Meliodas, the hero has received 3 exclusive costume sets along with The Ten Commandments Legend I Costume Sets. There are exclusive Holy War Festival Bundles available for the players to buy – The Costume Enhance Bundle, The Equipment, Enhance Bundle and the Awesome UR MAX Draw Bundle. The third bundle offers players a chance to draw a UR Level 80 fully Awakened hero. 

The number of leagues in the Knighthood Competition has been increased from 8 to 10, which means a total of 40 Knighthoods. The rewards have also been adjusted in the wake of an increase in the number of participants. 

The Knighthood seeding rules have also been updated, with the highest placed Knighthoods will receive seeding and be ultimately promoted to the next higher league in the next Knighthood Competition, the highest league being Challengers. This means Knighthoods who place first in Challenger will remain in the same league as there is no league to be promoted into. Any Knighthood in lower ranks will be immediately promoted to Challenger if they finish any week in the top two of the overall leaderboards. All these changes will come into effect with the upcoming season based on the Knighthood Competition Results on the 29th of March. 

There are some buffs added to the Ten Commandments Heroes. The Holy War Festival update has also removed ‘The Sub Can’t Make it’ mission that is a part of the Tower of Trials Conqueror due to the difficulty in completing the said mission. This update also marks the end of the 1st Anniversary Festival, several Homecoming Events and events related to the 1st Anniversary Festival. 

Along with all these, Sunny Vacation Weapon Researcher and Sunny Vacation Noblesse Eastin are now available in the Pickup Draw.
