- Feature Preview: Perk+ - 15 May 2026
Let’s talk about Perk+!Hello Raiders!Welcome to another feature preview covering a key feature coming to Raiders of Blackveil in our next major update: The Ghoulag Update. What is it?Perk+ is a new system that allows you to upgrade perks, making them far more powerful and potentially build defining. Each perk can be upgraded twice through the Alchemy Table, which is a new type of room reward. Why this feature?Build IdentityWe want runs to have a stronger sense of build identity. Our goal is for players to put together a specific set of perks that noticeably changes how their champion performs. You should be able to clearly see and feel when a build starts coming together. We believe that having slightly fewer, but more impactful, perks is the first step in that direction. Build VarietyRight now, we rely on perk rarity to determine a perk’s strength and impact. While this works, some per…

These talents are aimed at modifying your champion’s playstyle and opening up new builds and synergies. A consistent piece of feedback we’ve received since launch is that champions can feel repetitive over time. We agree. Champion Talents represent a powerful design space for us to address this. Some talents will radically change how champions are played, such as giving Draskyl a ranged attack, turning Beatrice’s turrets into bombs, or making Jaméra’s…
