Duskborn
Legendary (5%)Duskborn is the Legendary race in MythFall with a 5% roll chance - a magic-focused bloodline that gets dramatically stronger at night.
Duskborn is the caster's race. Deep Well adds +6% Magic Strength and +6% Ether at all times, Ancient Blood adds +10% critical damage, and the signature Moon's Mercy trait grants +20% Magic Strength with surging Ether regeneration at night - one of the strongest conditional buffs documented in the game so far.
The night cycle matters for planning: a Duskborn mage hits significantly harder after dark, which rewards timing tough fights and boss attempts to the in-game night. During the day the race still keeps its flat magic and crit bonuses.
Like the other elf-lineage race (Druid), Duskborn pays for its magic with physical weakness: Frail Lineage reduces Weapon Strength and Fighting Strength by 5% each, so pure melee builds waste the race's identity.

Lore
Being direct Progenitors of the elves, their bloodline predate recorded history. Scarce in number and shrouded in secrecy, they dwell in the shadows, preserving ancient traditions long forsaken by the world.
FAQ
How rare is Duskborn?
Duskborn is Legendary rarity with a 5% roll chance - roughly one roll in twenty.
Is Duskborn better than Druid for mages?
They compete for the same niche. Druid gives steady sustain and a forest-conditional bonus; Duskborn trades sustain for burst - higher crit damage and a large night-time magic spike. For boss burst windows at night, Duskborn is the stronger documented option; for all-day consistency in forests, Druid.
Does Moon's Mercy work indoors or in dungeons?
Unconfirmed. The in-game description says 'at night' without qualifiers; whether interiors count follows the day/night cycle is something we will verify after the July 10 launch.
