Ephoran Cores & Catalysts

Detailed index of ancient unit modifications. Read about color-coded allocations for Crimson (Attack), Cobalt (Defense), and Jade (Health) catalysts alongside level cap triggers.

Each unit type possesses a single Core that houses three color-coded Catalysts for stat boosts.

Catalyst Types

  • Crimson Catalyst: Boosts Attack.
  • Cobalt Catalyst: Boosts Defense.
  • Jade Catalyst: Boosts Health.

Upgrading

  • Core Shards: Upgrade the Core itself for small all-stat boosts and to increase the Catalyst level cap.
  • Catalyst Dust: Upgrade individual Catalysts for linear stat gains up to the Core level cap.

Core Shards and Catalyst Dust are obtained from Portal missions, events, and defeating NPCs.
