New Character Details

Lucia

Rarity: S-Tier

Specialty: Support

Attribute: Ether

Lucia is an Agent focused on support and Dream Points. When her Dream Points reach 100, she enters Dream State, increasing her entire team's maximum Health, making her an ideal choice for a "Rapture" composition. In battle, Lucia can trigger her Aftershock skill by consuming 25 Dream Points, granting her entire team the Fierce Attack status, significantly increasing their damage output. Her skills synergize well with her teammates' attack triggers, making her a key player in teamfights.

Yidhari

Rarity: S-Tier

Specialty: Rupture

Attribute: Ice

Yidhari is an Ice-attribute Agent whose core mechanic is adjusting her skill damage and damage reduction based on her Health percentage. When her Health is below 40%, her skill damage increases by 80% and her incoming damage decreases by 25%. As the team's health decreases, Idari steadily accumulates decibels and gradually regenerates over time, making him extremely survivable and effective in sustained combat.

Manato

Rarity: A-Rank

Specialty: Rupture

Attribute: Fire

Manato is a Fire-attribute Agent whose skill mechanics are based on accumulating [Fire Points]. When Fire Points reach 75, he enters [Ignite], boosting his Normal Attacks, enabling EX Special Attacks to trigger, and increasing his critical damage, significantly increasing his damage output for a short period. Manato offers flexibility in both Fire and Ecstasy teams, making him a valuable addition to attack-focused squads.

New W Engine

Version 2.3 introduces a new W Engine, enabling players to achieve enhanced skill synergy and energy management in battle. By using the W Engine, players can accumulate Special Points faster, trigger EX Skills and combos, and improve combat efficiency. The addition of the W Engine not only optimizes the single-player experience but also provides more strategic opportunities for multiplayer co-op.

New Maps and Exploration

Version 2.3 introduces two new maps:

West Hill Compartment: Suitable for mid-level exploration, offering diverse enemy combinations and buffs.

Wasteland Hollow: Suitable for high-level players, featuring high-level material drops and rare rewards.

Players can explore specific areas in this new map, complete hidden missions and random events, and obtain a wealth of upgrade materials and colorful rewards.

New Boss - Wandering Hunter

The Wandering Hunter, a new boss introduced in this update, is weak to Ice and resistant to Fire attacks. In battle, players must strategically combine their Agents and skills, utilizing attribute restraints and strategic combinations to maximize their damage output, while also paying attention to the boss's attack patterns to maximize their survivability and damage output.

New Event Overview

Agent Story: Lucia

Lucia's exclusive event offers players a deeper understanding of her background and abilities through story missions. Completing event missions will earn players colorful items, upgrade materials, and rewards from Agent Komado Makoto. Missions include exploring the Lumina Square Echo Chamber and restoring Yidhari's memories. By completing each stage, players can unlock hidden story plots and claim limited-time rewards.
