The Shape of Perdition will be the new world boss that you can farm for a material called the Netherworld Pass. Upcoming Physical units will use this material for their ascension. Older Physical characters like Sushang or Clara will still use the older boss material, Broken Teeth of Iron Wolf. The following characters will require the Netherworld Pass for their ascension:

• Argenti - Upcoming Erudition 5-star
• Hanya - Upcoming Harmony 4-star

Upcoming Relic set and its bonuses

The new Cavern of Corrosion: Path of Darkness will have the following Relics:

The Ashblazing Grand Duke

2-Pc Set Bonus: Increases follow-up attack DMG by 20%.

4-Pc Set: When the wearer uses follow-up attacks against the target enemy, increase the wearer's attack by 6% every time the follow-up attack deals damage. This effect can stack for eight times and lasts up to three turns. Once the character uses a follow-up attack, this effect is removed.

Prisoner in Deep Confinement

2-Piece Set Bonus: Increases Attack by 12%.

4-Piece Set: For every DoT (Damage over Time) the target enemy is afflicted with, the wearer will ignore 6% of the target's defense when dealing damage to them. This effect is valid for a maximum of three DoTs.

Because the most recent Hunt 5-star Topaz does not have a best-in-slot relic option tailored to her kit, The Ashblazing Grand Duke will be her new top relic set. Follow-up characters like Himeko, Jing Yuan, and Clara can also use this set.

DoT DPS characters such as Kafka, Sampo, Luka, and Guinaifen can successfully employ the Prisoner in Deep Confinement's four-piece boost to deal opponents massive damage.
