Awakening in the November 2026 route is a crafted dungeon, not a passive level reward.
Requirements they listed
Collect 10 rank-up runes from A-rank dungeons or higher. Craft them into a double-dungeon rune at the Leveling City guild. You also need a rank-down rune to combine with it on a standard dungeon.
Before you enter
The statue boss health scales with your inventory. Remove shadows and weapons you are not using. High-level players in that note also reset stats and unequipped relics before the fight. Put the team you will actually use back on after you leave.
Reward
Beating the statue grants Awakened: 25 additional shadow levels and 15 percent shadow damage. Claim it before you judge the next island. A team that feels stuck at A rank is often missing this bonus rather than missing another ant.
After
Return to G-rank merges and the SS-rank test. Echo Shard from Face Shield Town is the relic they pick up next because it adds shadow levels directly.
