Soul Exchange
When the border of Yin and Yang goes blurry, the devious souls freed themselves from the bodies. Time to experience the new game mode switching between the hunter and the prey, and always keep greedy with winning the points!
Event Timeline
June 25th - July 8th, 2019, 3a-4a, 12p-1p and 7p-8p PST, US/EU server, every day. Players are invited to the Soul Exchange games through the main page.
Gameplay
1. 5 players are matched in a game.
2. Each game has a time limit of 10 minutes. When the game finishes players are ranked by their points.
3. Earn points by sealing cards in cardholders, dodging the Devil's attacks, looting chests, and using items.
4. Periodically a cardholder is randomly chosen to expose its aura to all players, sealing which will reward double points.
5. The game happens in the Frozen Village map. All 5 players start as Gamblers, and each has a black Joker card. Sealing the card in cardholders gives the Gambler a certain amount of Stakes.
6. Periodically there will be a free red Joker card available in the store. Red Joker card awards more points and Stakes. There are plenty of Teleporters in stock as well.
7. Whenever a card is sealed, the Gambler receives a positive or negative effect or an item. When there is no Devil present in the game, the Gambler has a very high chance of turning into the Devil.
8. The only Devil in this game is the Witch. Players cannot earn points as the Devil. They must hunt down other Gamblers to exchange the soul with them.
9. The Gambler with highest points always exposes their aura to the Devil.
10. Periodically a specific item will appear in the Devil's store.
Event Rewards

New Devil: The Actor
The Actor's Ability [Dance] - The Actor may attack in a melee mode, which is the default starting mode, or a range mode. He may switch between the two modes by casting a spell, or whenever he hits a Gambler. Additionally, Gamblers hear opera instead of heartbeats when they are playing against the Actor.
The Actor's Cheats [Endless Echo] - Every time the Actor teleports to a cardholder, he makes it resonate with him for 120 seconds. Within a certain range of this cardholder all Gamblers constantly hear his vocal and become unable to see him, until they leave the range. Up to 1/2/3 cardholders get this effect at a time.
[Silent Curse] - When hitting a Gambler from range, the Actor switches to melee mode immediately and becomes stealth. The melee attack cooldown is 1.2/0.9/0.6 seconds. When the Actor teleports, breaks doors or windows, goes through an open window, uses items, or executes a Gambler, he gets out of the stealth mode.
New Devil: The Phantom
The Phantom's Ability [Mimic] - The Phantom may mimic any Gamblers in the game for a period of time, during which she may (1) seal ONE fake card in a cardholder to increment the number to be sealed on it and earn Stakes, without being seen through by other Gamblers; (2) pretend to heal other Gamblers to confuse them about their health status; (3) Loot chests for Devil items.
The Phantom's Cheats [Illusion] - Gamblers earn less Stakes when sealing cards to void fake cards on a cardholder.
[Impression] - Gamblers expose their aura for X seconds when voiding all fake cards on a cardholder.
Exclusive Trumps
[Angie] - [Perception] - Angie senses the Devil's existence for 30 seconds at the beginning of the game.
[Daisy] - [Prudence] - Daisy will not alert the Devil when she fails QTEs in this game.
[Daniel] - [Perseverance] - Daniel seals cards 20% faster when he is wounded.
[Charles]- [Perturbation] - Instead of getting items, Charles earns 21 Stakes when he loots a chest.
[Henry] - [Penny Pincher] - Henry consumes 50% less Stakes when he uses his cheats for the first time in the game.
[Sophia] - [Intuition] - Sophia is alerted by the traps within 6 meters radius.
[The Prince] - [Past Dream] - When the Prince approaches an unfinished cardholder, he senses the aura of the Gambler who last sealed it.
[The Corpse] - [Brutal Crash] - The Gambler who get crashed by the Corpse's charge has a 50% chance to get sloth for 5 seconds.
[The Witch] - [Crippled Prey] - Wounded cat are slowed by 10%.
[The Bride] - [Demolition] - The Bride's mirror images explode and hit Gamblers within 4m when the mirror image is replaced by another one or expired (but not teleported to).
[The Actor] - [Fierce Spear] - the Actor's range attacks break doors and windows, and hit anyone hiding behind it.
[The Phantom] - [Vividity] - The Phantom may seal a fake card of 7 instead of 5 on a cardholder, and earn 7 Stakes.
New In-game Items for Gamblers
[Smoke Screen] - Blinds the Devil to see the Gamblers or sense their auras for 8 seconds when used within 15 meters from the Devil.
[Herbal Elixir] - Recovers full health when the Gambler does not get hurt in 20 seconds.
[Victim Doll] - Neutralizes the next hit, but the health is reduced to 30%.
New In-game Items for Devils
[Ghost Eye] - Deploys a Ghost Eye on the ground. Any Gambler coming in a 20m radius of it exposes their auras to the Devil. Ghost Eyes could be removed by the Gamblers.
[Mist Wall] - Deploys an invisible wall on the ground that blocks the Gamblers from going through. The wall does not expire, and is inactive when it is deployed. The Gambler triggers but does not get blocked by the wall when they first walked into it. Once the wall is activated, it will block the Gamblers in the next 30 seconds before going back to inactive mode. The Gamblers may break the wall, but will remain sloth for 5 seconds.
[Roaring Totem] - Effective on all unsealed cardholders, Gamblers within 15m of which are slothed for 10 seconds. Teleportation cooldowns for all cardholders are reset.
