Specs and passives - Updated May 19, 2026
Specs and Spec Passives are late-game build layers that matter most after your basic leveling setup is stable. They affect how your fighting style and sword scale in boss and endgame content.
Focus on a stable fighting style first, then unlock Spec Passives at Judgement Island when you meet the requirement. Current guides agree the Spec Passive system starts at level 10,000 and costs 5,000 Gems to unlock.

Paid to the Spec Passive NPC at Judgement Island.
Shard source
Passive Shards start dropping after the system is enabled.
A spec is your fighting style route. A Spec Passive is an extra passive layer that improves your selected spec and sword. It does not replace fruits, races, clans or traits.
Because Spec Passives affect specs and swords, they are strongest when your build already uses those parts for real damage.
Current May 2026 guides list the unlock at Judgement Island through the Spec Passive NPC. The common requirements are level 10,000 and 5,000 Gems.
After unlocking, Passive Shards become the roll currency. Do not plan around shard farming before the system is active on your account.
Once unlocked, community guides report Passive Shards can drop from mobs or bosses, but the rate is low. The practical route is to farm dense mob areas or bosses you can clear quickly.
Luck-supporting runes and faster clear speed matter because the system rewards many repeated chances rather than one difficult fight.
Current guides list the unlock at Judgement Island after reaching level 10,000 and paying 5,000 Gems to the Spec Passive NPC.
Current guides say Spec Passives affect specs and swords, not fruits, so fruit-focused builds should not overvalue them too early.
Unlock the system first, then farm mobs or bosses repeatedly. Dense routes and luck support help because the drop rate is low.
