New Seasonal Mechanic
The Belial's Return officially introduces the seasonal mechanic known as Boss Powers. True to it's name, Boss Powers can be obtained by defeating certain bosses. There will be a total of 24 boss powers, with a whopping total of 48 main and modifier combinations, providing plenty of possibilities on how players wish to use these in their build.
Apparition Incursion Event
A new event called Apparition Incursion will be available in Season 8, and any character of any difficulty level can participate in this event. The forces of Belial can be recognized by the Belial's Mark, which is easily identified by its Green color. Participation in the Apparition Incursion event will reward players with XP as well as a unique Boss Power.
