[New Content]

1. New Characters

• S-Rank Agent Seed (Attack – Electric)

A seed, in this context, refers to a specific DPS (Damage Per Second) Agent that possesses the ability to unleash substantial Electric damage on opponents. This agent can collaborate with other Attack-specialized Agents to create a formidable dual-Attack team. Together, they overpower enemies with an onslaught of powerful firepower, effectively suppressing them.

• S-Rank Agent Orphie & Magus (Attack – Fire)

The duo agents, Orphie and Magus, possess both strong offensive and supportive abilities. During battles, they have the power to unleash Aftershock attacks, inflicting Fire damage on enemies while other active agents are attacking. Moreover, when Orphie and Magus successfully hit specific skills on opponents, every member of the squad gains the Zeroed In effect, boosting their attack power and enabling their Aftershock damage to bypass a part of an enemy’s defense.

2. New W-Engines

Look at Flora, her hair moves gracefully with the wind like she’s floating above the slumbering flower-filled valley below.”

▶ Shiyu Defense

Critical Node

After the Version 2.2 update, the buff effects of Critical Node are as follows:

Phase I:

Here’s a more casual way of expressing the given sentence:

Increase the electrical and physical damage dealt by agents by 30%, as well as their Attribute Anomaly damage.

If half of the team’s agents possess the ‘Attack’ specialty, the attack power of every team member is boosted by 10% or 25%.

Phase II:

If half of the team members specialize in attacks, these team members will disregard 10% or 20% of damage received when attacking enemies.

Upon encountering an Aftershock, Agents experience a 60% boost in Critical Damage for 10 seconds. Each subsequent trigger resets the duration.

Phase III:

• Agents’ Electric DMG and Fire DMG increases by 15%. Sheer DMG increases by 20%.

Whenever Enemy is struck by Aftershock or Ultimate, Agents with specialized skills in Attack and Rupture will experience a 80% increase in Critical Damage for a period of 15 seconds. This effect can be reactivated multiple times to continue the duration.

Adjustments & Optimizations

▶ Systems

We’ve combined the titles for these achievements, “A Moment Together: Friend Meetup” and “A Moment Together: Everyone, Assemble!”, into one “A Moment Together!”. This change affects just the achievement names, and it doesn’t alter the content or descriptions of the achievements.

• The Display Stand’s item display limit has been increased to 20.

• Adjusts the sorting rules for the Agent interface.

As a gamer, I’ve fine-tuned the Suibian Temple’s red dot alert system. Once the Restoration Level of my Suibian Temple hits Lv. 45, those pesky red dots will disappear from Mystic Epic and Targets sections in my Compendium. Furthermore, the daily reset of BooBox won’t show up with those area indicators anymore.

• Optimizes the product list and Bangboo sorting rules in Suibian Temple – Management.

Alters the scarcity of resources in the Suibian Temple game, affecting merely the display of resource rarity without modifying the rules for exchanging raw materials.

• Optimizes the shop teleport logic in Compendium – Mystic Epic.

• Optimizes the display logic of the item list after purchasing from Good Goods in Suibian Temple.

• Optimizes the clickable area of the Shortcut Wheel.

▶ Others

Alters the pre-set graphic quality options related to visual effects within the PC version’s Settings > Graphics menu, particularly for Medium and Low image quality settings. To enhance frame rates, we’ve diminished the impact of special effects for these presets. Here’s a breakdown of the adjustments made:

1. For Medium Image Quality: Decreased special effect performance to deliver smoother gameplay at lower visual detail levels.
2. For Low Image Quality: Reduced special effect intensity to provide improved frame rates and maintain playability with reduced visual quality settings.

To modify the access requirement for the Gravity Cinema teleport, it will now become necessary to unlock the Lumina Square map.

Alters the sequence in which Agents are deployed during specific battle phases within the Main Story mission titled “A Bond Returned.

• Optimizes the model performance for Orphie (NPC).

Issue Fixes

▶ Agents

As a devoted fan, I’m excited to share that developers have addressed a situation in which, under specific conditions, Agent Ju Fufu might unintentionally sustain damage during a Chain Attack with Suppressing Tiger Cauldron, even if they weren’t the currently active character. Now, this issue has been resolved!

Adjusts a problem that sometimes causes Agent Billy’s movement direction not to align correctly with his rolling direction during a Crouching Shot while in combat.

Improves an inconsistency that can occur where Agent Billy’s movement path doesn’t correspond with his roll path when executing a Crouching Shot during battles.

Addresses a problem that previously prevented Agent Lighter from instantly deploying his Ultimate move, following a dodge maneuver during battle.

• Fixes an abnormal hit box issue while Agent Yixuan is in the Light as Air state.

Corrects a typo in the description of Agent Yixuan’s EX Special Attack: Ink Manifestation. This alteration solely pertains to the written explanation and has no impact on the real ability’s functioning.

Before: Energy cost

After adjustment: Adrenaline cost

Rectifies an inconsistency in Agent Astra Yao’s third hit of Basic Attack “Capriccio,” where the attack range should have increased while charging but did not.)

▶ Enemies

As a passionate gamer, I’ve managed to resolve an unusual sensitivity problem with my joystick while enjoying the thrilling “Blazing Waves” gameplay during the “Tales of Midsummer Dreams” event using a controller.

Corrects a problem where the aiming sensitivity is excessively high during the Archipelago Shoot mini-game in the “Tales of Midsummer Dreams” event, under specific conditions.
