Farlight 84 New Season Guide: Jue Chen Support Hero and More

Farlight 84 has officially rolled out its eagerly awaited Weaver of Wonders season on October 16, 2025, with a massive content drop that alters many gameplay mechanics. The new season features a new support hero, additional map areas, an arcade game mode, cinematic melee executes, and various balance tweaks, injecting new experiences in both the competitive and casual gaming spaces.

Farlight 84 Weaver of Wonders Jue Chen: The Dual-Powered Support Hero

The real highlight of the update is Jue Chen: a new support hero with both offensive and healing weapons kit. Her healing ability, Yang Healing, will enhance healing output while reducing your healing abilities cooldowns, providing team members more survivability in fights. Jue Chen’s Trait will also allow for getting downed teammates back up, using other Yang Sigils. Under her Yin Destruction ability, she’ll enhance explosive damage output and will slightly slow down damaged enemies.

Jue Chen’s ultimate, Yin-Yang Inversion, heals with Dark Realm benefits and allows for team support. The new dual-mode system allows players to find a more tactical approach to fights, making Jue Chen possibly the most versatile decision for squad set up. Players can play support or damage based on the fight.

Skyland: Broadening the Competitive Terrain

This update adds an area in the Nextara and Sunder Realms called Skyland, expanding exploration, and allowing for new strategic placements. This will make competitive play unique compared to pre-existing terrain and adjust healing placement needs in engagements, increasing the complication of good map knowledge and positioning.

The Evo Raid Arcade – Cooperative Evolution Mechanic

Evo Raid is a new mode that we have introduced to alter cooperative gameplay in Farlight 84. In Evo Raid, players will be teamed up to defeat enemies, and they will be able to subsequently evolve their weapons, using an Evo Meter system.

A team will either win by completely filling the Evo Meter or having the most amount of Evo Meter progression when time runs out. This mode doesn’t necessarily add a new concept to PvE gameplay as much as it adds progression layers to pvp and objectives that players must consider, including teamwork and adaptive play; in a nutshell, a new kind of battle royale gameplay altogether.

Finishers, Weapons & Hero Balance Adjustments

The new Finisher mechanic adds another level of cinematic melee executions and is invoked to other players within close proximity of downed players. These will reward aggressive and talented gameplay, provide an alluring visual style, and will help further set players apart in close quarter combat situations.

Players will now encounter a variety of new strategies based on the introduction of Shuri-Cards, a single-shot throwing weapon that will begin appearing both in Airdrops and Matchmaking games. Some of the introduced weapon balance changes will result in new meta: Fenrir-33 now in Airdrops only and dealing more damage; M16 moved to battlefield-only with mod support (the finisher damage in Player Match went down); and a slight decrease in VSS damage.

Six heroes have balance changes: Ducksyde gains a lasting shield and minor in-air delay; Ember has limited view in Shadow Barriers; Kui Dou sees better handling for Cosmic Authority; Beau has lower Vengeance Bomb damage; Syfer slows enemy healing with Pixel Penetrator; Ling Bo gets faster healing and reloads in Aquatic Zones. These changes aim to balance play and give more strategic options.

New Buddies, Cosmetics, & Season Events

The update adds four new Buddies Splatfish, Pandapon, Super Calamurky, and Super Nimbus as well as weapon accessories and mod skins, allowing players to customize their gameplay experience and express their style.

The Weaver of Wonders season has Triumph Trackers (Basic, Advanced, Elite), Forge of Dreams cosmetic packs, Faction Clash, Mystic Visions, and Dream Team events that provide or alternate or share objectives and rewards in a way that engages players and ropes them back in, with multiple weekends of events giving something to engage you each weekend.

The Weaver of Wonders Season modifies Farlight 84 to be more dynamic. From Jue Chen’s dual-mode to the strategic elements of Skyland and Evo Raid, this update brings a new dimension to competitive play, cooperative strategy, and cosmetic options, fully evolving the Farlight 84 experience.
