Blade & Soul will be updated with the Rising Waters content expansion on February 10th, of which the centerpiece is Mushin’s Tower and its first seven floors. The official site has a new lore piece to give players a feel for the importance of the tower and how it will test each warrior’s skill and ability to survive.

Everyone starts at the bottom, but thankfully the ground floor of Mushin’s Tower is well-equipped to help prepare warriors for the arduous trek ahead of them. Mushin’s Hall contains unique merchants with rare items, training areas where warriors can hone their skills, and an arena floor for those who wish to practice with peers in friendly sparring matches. From here, the only way to go is up! Challengers must begin at the first floor and work their way skyward, though returning warriors are able to skip ahead to higher floors without having to spend time on opponents they’ve already outclassed.
