Chain of Destruction
The Chain of Destruction is a Sidequest story that takes place sometime after Generation 20: The Gate of Sanctuary but before the events of Generation 24: Ascension. It also serves as the tutorial questline for the Chain Slash talent.
Equip a Chain Blade weapon or rebirth a character in the Chain Slash talent to start this questline.
- New characters must complete the Lorna and Pan's Fresh Start Tutorial [Guide] quests found in the Basic quest tab. Once all tutorial quests have been completed, the quest will be available on that character.
Depending on your choices through the story, you will be awarded with one of the following titles:
- Bearer of Bachram
- Sluagh Incarnate
- the Poker-Faced
- They all give the same stats: Luck +35, Dex +20, Critical +5
The Bearer of Bachram title usually involves being truthful and honest, while the Sluagh incarnate involves deception and lies. Having a tie between the two will result in obtaining the Poker-Faced title.
