Game version 1.0 patch #25

Soulmask masks

You start with Civilization, Conquest or Rich. The five Holy Ruins on Cloud Mist Forest each hold one mask, two more are repaired at the Mysterious Stone Table, and Shifting Sands masks come from its guardians and pyramids. Every Mimicry mode except the starting masks costs 1 Yellow Crystal to enter; the strongest skill unlocks at mask level 10 and is cast with V. How mask levels, nodes and Ascension work.

All 19 face masks listed in the game data. Pendants, headpieces and cosmetic decorations are excluded because they have no Mimicry or skill tree. Mask node text from Steam build 25955423 (15 October 2026), via the Soulmask Database datamine; acquisition from official patch notes and dev logs. Attribute ranks run from 1 to 5.
