Rite of Exile

The Rite of Exile is the culmination of the Cycle of Strife, where the Shadows make their move to overthrow the Immortals. A sacred challenge, the Shadows initiate the Rite if they deem that the Immortals have become too corrupt. Should the Shadows overthrow the Immortals, the Cycle of Strife restarts.

Gameplay
The Rite of Exile is a gameplay mechanic of Diablo Immortal, which triggers when the Shadows reach a point in their overall progression. The Rite of Exile sees the top ten dark clans sending their eight strongest members to fight the best the Immortals have to offer. This kicks off ten separate simultaneous 8v8 battles and if at least half of these are won by the Immortals the status quo remains. If it least half are won by Shadows fighters, the dark clan at the top of the Shadows ranking will become the new Immortals and a new cycle begins. Shadows who succeeded in the Rite progress to the Challenge of the Immortal.
