Illuvium: Arena Update 1.17.3
Patch Notes
- Date PublishedFeb 10, 2026


Gameplay & System Updates
This update restores the original Synergy system in Arena, fixes level calculation issues affecting Ranger and Bot Illuvials, and temporarily removes the Abyssal Basin Battleboard due to performance concerns.
Ranger and Bot Illuvials Level
We identified an issue that caused Ranger levels and Bot Illuvial levels to be calculated incorrectly during gameplay. This has now been resolved, and both will function as intended moving forward.
Abyssal Basin Battleboard
The Abyssal Basin Battleboard was causing significant FPS drops for many players. While we work on resolving the underlying lighting issues, it has been temporarily removed from the Battleboard rotation.
Balance Adjustments
The simplified Synergy system has been reverted to the original Synergy effects, bringing back greater complexity and strategic depth to Arena gameplay.
All other systems, including Illuvial effects, Augments, and Weapons, remain unchanged. Only Synergies have been adjusted.
