Previously, it was named “Magic Witch” as a placeholder. However, the actual name of this Collection Event is, Spellbound, as announced by EA. Players are excited as Seer’s Heirloom will be featured in the same event.

Seer’s “Showstoppers” Heirloom

Seer mains are finally getting their hands on the long-awaited Sickle Heirloom or “Showstoppers.” As mentioned earlier, you can collect “Showstoppers” by collecting all 24 items from the Spellbound Collection Event.

However, you can also wait until the event is over. After that, the Seer Heirloom will be available in the Mythic shop along with other Heirlooms, and you can purchase it with Heirloom Shards.
