Four stigma slots or six?

What people say

There are two versions:

• Four slots and a cap at level 20. That’s what a guide built on the global client says: the first one opens at level 22 and the rest at 27, 32 and 37.
• Six slots and a cap at level 25. That’s what Korea has had since March and July 2026, and what the guides that draw from there repeat.

What happens

It’s four. At level 26, my Gladiator’s stigma tab shows 13 stigmas, not 18, and the bar has four slots for them.

Of the 13, I had one unlocked, Wrath Wave, and the other twelve locked. A stigma’s upgrades kick in at levels 5, 10, 15 and 20, which fits the cap at 20. Raising Wrath Wave from 1 to 2 costs one shard.

What I haven’t seen yet is at what level each slot opens: the guides say 27, 32 and 37 for the three I’m missing.

What to do

Plan around four slots and 13 stigmas. If a guide recommends a stigma you can’t find in your list, it’s from the Korean version.

Shards are scarce while you level, so don’t spread them out: pick the stigmas you’re going to run and level those.
