Cabal Eternal – Episode 43 Part 2 – Winter 2025 Update

Dear Nevarethians, winter is right there at the corner, and today we have news about the Winter Update of Cabal Eternal * cough, cough *, you should try to be familiar with this branding of Cabal / Cabal Online. Through this winter update, I guess your character will be boosted really well with the new stats from Honor Medal – Elite Grade 🎖️, ️Chaos Upgrade for Ring 💍, also the Eternal Chaos Arena will be revamped 🔄️with not only the looks but also some tweaks for the drop list, and lastly, we have lots of Quality-of-Life modifications 🆙, hope you like them all. Without further ado let’s dive right in 💪

The Eternal Chaos Arena returns with a new design and adjusted balance, keeping the familiar flow of monster waves and boss encounters while offering tuned difficulty and a new final-stage reward 🎁. You can expect a refreshed level of tension as you work through the stages, especially with the added incentive at the end ⚔️. Experience the renewed arena and rediscover the thrill of pushing through each challenge 💥.

Analysis:

This renewal aims to modernize a nostalgic core feature while keeping its identity intact. The added final reward (hmm, is it the Essence of Chaos Guardian – Ring 💍) should increase replay motivation and better match current player power, making the Eternal Chaos Arena feel relevant again ✨. It’s a GREAT way to energize both mid-level and veteran players t🤔.

Your hard-earned glory from Mission War now evolves into something even greater. The Honor Medal system expands into an Elite tier, unlocking stronger abilities and granting access to higher-grade medals 🏅. This new tier lets you push past previous limits, offering a fresh path for players seeking a higher level of prestige ⚡. Prove the true value of your dedication on the battlefield 💪.

Analysis:

This expansion pushes endgame PvP progression further and renews interest in Mission War. Elite medals will likely influence builds in meaningful ways 🔥. It also adds long-term goals for maxed-out players who need something new to chase ⭐.

But, surely, I’m wondering if we will get just another 14 slots for new Grade? Like the way we got 12 slots for Legend? Or will we get something totally unexpected?

Also about stats, hope that there will be some stats which encourage players to spend their effort on thinking “What would be better on my character? this-or-that?”. Because all of existing Honor Medal slots are quite linear, everyone have the same slots 🥹.

And I also hope that they will add the Preset 🔄️ feature for Honor Medal, it will boost the playability of the Honor Medal, it won’t be a build-once and then DONE.

You can now challenge the boss you want right away after clearing it once. Selective Entry Mode lets you skip unnecessary sections and jump directly to the target boss during your next attempt 🎯. This speeds up farming and focuses your effort on acquiring the rewards you actually want 💎. No more wasting time on filler areas while grinding raids ⚙️. However, this is applicable only for the Solo Raid, not for normal dungeon. In case you haven’t read on the Solo Raid / Absolute Drive yet, take a look here at the Episode 43 – Full Patch Notes.

Analysis:

This is a major quality-of-life improvement for efficiency-focused players. By cutting out low-value segments, it reduces burnout and makes targeted farming much smoother 🚀. It also reflects how players approach raid content today, prioritizing reward-per-minute 🔍.

Hope that in the future, they could add this for other dungeons – well with spending Force Gem for speeding up – would be nice, right?

Chaos Upgrade finally applies to Rings 💍, introducing new ways to expand your stats through this exclusive upgrade path 💫. Only certain rings qualify, but the additional stat range creates fresh opportunities for builds and power progression 💍. Alongside the arena renewal, this is a perfect time to strengthen your character even further ⚙️.

Analysis:

Enhancing accessories with Chaos adds a major layer of progression and will likely shift the overall gear meta ⭐. Specific rings may become more desirable, encouraging more experimentation and long-term character tuning 🔧. The information mentioned in the tables above are from Cabal Mobile, which may or may NOT be the same for Cabal PC 🫨.

A new preset system for Battle Mode 3 lets you refine your style with outfits, accessories, and Force Wings across three customizable slots 👗. You can mix these with your existing Battle Mode 3 appearance to create a unique look that fits your combat identity 🦾. The costume UI also gains preset saving, unequip-all, and UI hide options for a smoother dressing experience 🎨.

Analysis:

This update highlights the game’s growing focus on personalization. Presets reduce friction for fashion-oriented players while encouraging deeper creativity 🌟. It’s also a subtle push toward expanding the cosmetic ecosystem 🎭. I have no clue if you are “happy” with those update or not, but for me when I have over 100 costumes, browsing through them is a boring experience, ever!

Inventory sorting improves with smarter rules that group similar items closer together 📦. This makes item management far easier, especially for players who accumulate large amounts of drops during dungeons or farming sessions 🔄. It’s a simple change, but one that creates a noticeably smoother experience ✔️.

Analysis:

This enhancement supports daily play by reducing small frustrations that add up over time 🧩. It’s practical and directly benefits all types of players, from casual adventurers to high-volume grinders 🔍.

Chat becomes more flexible with a new customization feature. Each chat tab can now display filtered categories, and switching tabs can also change your input mode automatically 💬. The block system is also updated from character-based to account-based, offering better protection against unwanted interactions 🚫. The goal is to help you communicate more comfortably and build better in-game relationships 🌱.

Analysis:

These changes make social interaction smoother and safer for the community 🤝. Account-wide blocking, in particular, addresses long-standing issues with spam and harassment, leading to a healthier chat environment 🔎.

I believe that, those contents – when they get shipped to publishers – would be a part of the BIG winter update including the Episode 43 with those Solo Raid, Absolute Drive and Seasonal Character / Mission. But well, we cannot predict the future, only time can answer us~

In fact, that time of this post to be live on my blog (20-Nov-2025), most of the servers are still at Episode 39 – Tower of the Dead B4F, only Japan is with Episode 40. All servers are too much back dated, but there is no clues from any publishers if any server beside South Korea / Japan will get any incoming update or not.

Winter is here, cold and frozen ❄️🥶 Holiday season is also coming, wishing you all the best and hope that we all will get new updates soon as well as a big good luck for you in Cabal🍀🤞🌠.
