- This story dives deeper into Carmen’s and Epindel’s personalities and relationship dynamics.
New Limited Saviors
1. Eternal Promise: Carmen (Limited)
- Role: Supporter / MOON
- The game’s first Limited Savior, designed to protect endangered allies even when it is not her turn.
- Recommended for both new and veteran Captains as a core roster addition.
2. Blessing in Bloom: Epindel
- Available starting the 3rd week of the event
- Role: Caster / SUN
- Specializes in countering enemies that use Barriers, dealing heavy damage to Barrier-clad foes.
New Systems & Quality-of-Life Improvements
Stellar Sigil Blooming (SR Upgrade System)
- Allows SR Saviors to be upgraded to SSR-level performance.
- Requires Stellar Bloomstone (earned via Flash Point content).
- Upgraded Saviors unlock further growth like Stellar Sigil Engraving; their rarity display changes to SSR.
Gear Loadouts
- Separate gear and Stellar Archive settings for Gauntlet (PvP) and general content.
- Activating the dedicated Gauntlet slot makes that gear take priority, eliminating constant manual swapping.
- Full Gear Presets feature is planned for after the Half-Anniversary update.
Focused Gear Crafting
- A new crafting method that lets you choose the gear slot, set option, and secondary stats before crafting.
- Crafting gear through existing methods grants Focused Crafting Fuel, which is then used for this targeted crafting.
- Includes major slots like rings and necklaces; fuel cost varies by selection.
- Intended to supplement farming, not replace it.
Gear Auto-Sell
- Set conditions in your inventory to automatically sell unwanted gear upon acquisition, converting it into enhancement stones.
- Launching as an experimental feature; more detailed condition settings may be added later.
Operation Retry Boost
- If you remain stuck on an Operation stage for a while, a Retry Boost gradually accumulates for that stage.
- Resets upon clearing; designed to help both newer players and those tackling high-difficulty content.
Arcana Lending (Journey)
- Borrow Arcana sets configured by friends for use in Journey content.
- Limited daily uses; an alternative for Captains still building their Arcana collection.
Blessing Re-Observation
- After completing a Journey, you can reroll the obtained Blessing list with a single button press.
- Costs Willpower or a Journey Invitation, but also grants equivalent Journey clear rewards, lowering entry barriers.
Outfit Destruction In Combat
- The Half-Anniversary Saviors feature special battle effects: when Toughness breaks, a costume destruction animation triggers.
- In Extra Moment, you can toggle between pre- and post-destruction versions.
- A Costume Destruction Public Mode option is available for those who prefer a toned-down presentation.
Select Observation
- Choose specific Saviors and Arcana as Featured targets for Observation.
- Selection is final; hard pity remains at 200 Observations.
- Available for all eligible targets except the most recently updated Savior (Tyria) and Arcana (Customized Training to Cover Weaknesses).
