New Blitz Mode F.A.Q & Patreon Sub Rewards!!!
🕑 Added 2023-09-29 16:59:57 +0000 UTCGREAT NEWS! TROS IS AT 94% COMPLETION!!!
Greetings Maiden Nation! This is your Maiden Commander speaking! We are so happy to finally be able to show you a preview of the new mode coming in the upcoming expansion League of Maidens "The Realm of Shadows" called Blitz Mode!!! We've been working hard to try and make the upcoming TROS expansion stand head over heels against our previous expansion. With that in mind we have decided to add a new gameplay mode for players to enjoy allowing even more opportunities to earn meaningful rewards. Please keep in mind that Blitz mode is just ONE of the new features coming in TROS!
Take a second to check out the preview photos of Blitz mode above and be sure to read below for more information. We figured players might have questions about the new mode and how it works so we've taken the time to put together this F.A.Q which will help to answer the most general questions about Blitz Mode. Please keep in mind that we are always open to hearing your suggestions and feedback and we are more than willing to answer any questions that you might have that are not addressed in the below F.A.Q. If you have any suggestions, feedback or questions please do not hesitate to post them in the comments below.
WHAT IS BLITZ MODE?
Blitz Mode is the newest mode added to League of Maidens which challenges players against waves of incoming enemy mobs and bosses. Players will be tasked with defeating the enemy/boss waves in the alloted time. Level 1 Blitz mode which will be available in the upcoming expansion will feature (6) waves with (3) boss encounters.
WHAT ARE THE REWARDS FOR BLITZ MODE?
Completing Blitz mode will earn players "Dark Keys". These items can then be used to open the newly available Boss Crates coming in TROS. Boss crates are currently available for all OSOT and TROS bosses. Specifically the following:
The Sentinel Crate (OSOT)
The Watchman Crate (OSOT)
Queen Ar'Kanis Crate (TROS)
Shadow Ako/Iko Crate (TROS)
Each crate contains exclusive cosmetic rewards for players to earn. Please keep in mind that we do not force players into playing Blitz mode as this mode is one but not the only method of attaining Dark Keys. Blitz Mode simply offers players an hourly chance to earn even more Dark Keys.
WHEN WILL I BE ABLE TO ACCESS BLITZ MODE?
Once players have completed the main quest line of The Realm of Shadows, Blitz mode will be available to play once per hour via desktop icon entry.
WHAT IS THE AVERAGE COMPLETION TIME FOR BLITZ MODE?
Properly geared players should be able to complete Blitz mode in anywhere from 8-12 minutes.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE RUN OUT OF TIME?
If a player runs out of time they will fail the Blitz mode attempt. Please keep in mind that Time Tickets have been improved to work with Blitz mode. Be sure to keep several on hand to bonus yourself some extra time if need be.
WHAT HAPPENS IF WE DIE IN BLITZ MODE?
Not to worry, if a player dies in Blitz mode they are free to use the same revive system to continue their journey. Use a Death Contract or in-game currency to revive to get right back into the fight!
HOW CAN I INCREASE MY CHANCES OF SUCCESS IN BLITZ MODE?
There are several things players can do to increase their chances of success in Blitz Mode. First, we highly encourage players to forge a T2 Gear Corruption set before attempting to complete the mode but we do not gate access based on Corruption level. Feel free to give it a shot and see how you progress!
Next, using items like the standard SP ticket, Rabbits Foot, Feral Essence will also be helpful along with a newly added item called "Dark Essence". One but not all of the benefits that Dark Essence will provide is an extra 10% bonus damage to Shadow Enemies which will definitely provide players with a boost while engaging in Blitz Mode.
As stated above, be sure to enter Blitz mode with some Time Tickets on hand. Time tickets have been updated to allow players to add 25 seconds of time to the Blitz mode timer just the same as they work for mission mode. Doing this will make it easy for you to avoid running out of time. Also as stated above be sure to keep several Death Contracts on hand incase you die while in Blitz mode. Using Death Contracts will allow players to avoid using in-game currency to revive after death.
Lastly, we suggest players familiarize themselves with both T1 and T2 Stronghold bosses (Queen Ar'Kanis and Shadow Ako/Iko) in The Realm of Shadows. Players will need to go up against these bosses while they advance from wave to wave in Blitz mode. Familiarizing yourself with the new mechanics of these Stronghold bosses will help tremendously to increase your chances of success. Also don't forget that the TROS update comes with new notifications that alert players of Stronghold Boss mechanics with suggestions on how to navigate them.
DOES IT COST TO PLAY BLITZ MODE?
Blitz Mode is 100% FREE FOR ALL MAIDEN+ PREMIUM & HIGHER Patreon Subs. Not to worry, if you are not a premium account member accessing Blitz mode will be as easy as using in-game currency to enter. The cost for entry for Blitz mode works similarly to other in-game costs in LoM.
WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PALNS FOR UPDATING BLITZ MODE?
With the TROS expansion we are releasing Blitz Mode Level 1 for The Realm of Shadows. In the future we plan to release more levels and there is a possibility to open up Blitz mode levels in previous areas such as the Underground Sewers, Necropolis Desert and Freedom City. Please note that TROS will launch with Blitz Mode (Level 1) available in the Realm of Shadows only.
HOW HARD IS BLITZ MODE?
We have done our best to make Blitz mode accessible for our mid-to-high level players. Inexperienced players will get destroyed :D but mid-level players will have items available to help should they have any difficulties while playing the mode. Items like Death Contracts to revive from death, Time Tickets to add time and items to increase damage will be especially helpful. High level players will also be able to challenge themselves by going through pure runs (Blitz mode completion without items). The range of items available will allow players to choose their difficulty making it more accessible to more players. PRO-TIP: The Healing Posts R-Key skill is a life saver (literally) for boss fights.
WHAT AFFECT DOES DI (DEATH INVITATIONS) HAVE ON BLITZ MODE?
None. Difficulty in Blitz mode is set to help maintain the speed run timer making all playthroughs equal. We will be introducing levels 2-4 of Blitz mode for TROS in future updates to increase difficulty for players looking for bigger challenges.
WILL I LOSE ITEMS IF I DIE IN BLITZ MODE W/ ULTRA HARDCORE ENABLED?
No, death in Blitz mode will not be subjected to the Ultra Hardcore death penalty.
ANY SURPRISES TO LOOK FORWARD TO IN BLITZ MODE?
Yes... lets just say... reach the last wave and you can thank us later... :D
Well that's it for now. As always gameplay modes and new features like this would have never been possible without the steadfast support of our amazing community. We THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for your interest in playing League of Maidens and YOUR AMAZING SUPPORT which has helped us to accomplish so much for you to enjoy in the upcoming expansion. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH MAIDEN NATION!!! <3 <3 <3

123 - Gear drop Gauntlets have been renamed to Gloves in order to remove the confusion between Gauntlet Gear and Gauntlet Cosmetics which also have functional use.
124 - Added text to the shop to inform players that the cost for an outfit ranges from $3.49 at the lowest (with the highest diamond pack)(also does not include the 20% premium discount) to at the most $9.99 (with the lower diamond pack) to help clear up the confusion about the cost of outfits in LoM.

152 - Items highlighted as interactable that are not have been removed from Freedom City as these caused confusion for some quests.
153 - Made a change to disable DI use while inside of a Stronghold. At the moment the levels of Strongholds (Chronicle, Artifact, Legendary and Mythic) don't have much meaning. With a change to reducing the number of Strongholds (Chronicle +0 DI, Legendary +15 DI and Mythic +30 DI) and the great deal of new rewards coming for this higher level content we've opted to disable the use of DI so that rewards earned from higher level content come from experiencing the entire stronghold and being rewarded for making it through. We've play tested and found that this change helps as part of our efforts to make more difficult content more impactful and rewarding.
154 - Updated Nudity Everywhere & Nudity for All to hide backgear including new pauldrons.
155 - Made a change to the earlier DI use within Strongholds. After a lot of testing we found many instances of forgetting to use DI before entering which caused frustration. We have changed the logic to allow use of DI in the first Stronghold room which will prevent players from running into the frustrating scenario but still maintain the difficulty of the Stronghold. The use of Death Invitations is limited to outside of a Stronghold or inside the first Stronghold room. You cannot use Death Invitations after clearing the first room of the Stronghold.
