The new update brings changes to various system settings, as well as other minor updates to rewards for the Spiral Abyss, which also has a new scheduled rotation. Here’s the full details.
Update Details
I. New Characters
5-Star Character “Candlebearer, Shadowhunter” Clorinde (Electro)
◇ Vision: Electro
◇ Weapon: Sword
◇ An undefeated Champion Duelist. Sword in hand, she defends justice in the Court of Fontaine.
◆ Elemental Skill: Hunter’s Vigil
◆ Preparing her pistolet, she enters the “Night Vigil” state. In this state, Clorinde’s Normal Attacks will be transformed into “Swift Hunt” pistolet attacks that help accumulate her Bond of Life, and her Elemental Skill will be transformed into “Impale the Night” that clears her Bond of Life and heals her while performing a lunging attack. When her Bond of Life is relatively low, “Swift Hunt” pistolet attacks will be able to pierce opponents. When her Bond of Life is relatively high, the AoE and the DMG dealt by “Impale the Night” will be increased.
◆ Elemental Burst: Last Lightfall
◆ Grants herself a Bond of Life before swiftly evading and striking with saber and sidearm as one, dealing AoE Electro DMG.
5-Star Character “Wondrous Dragonheir” Sigewinne (Hydro)

◆ Elemental Skill: Rebound Hydrotherapy
◆ Hold to blow a Bolstering Bubblebalm that bounces between nearby opponents and imprisons weaker opponents, dealing Hydro DMG. When it bounces, it will restore HP to all nearby party members except Sigewinne herself. When the Bolstering Bubblebalm disappears, it will restore HP to Sigewinne. In addition, Sourcewater Droplets will be created near Sigewinne when she uses this Skill. Each Sourcewater Droplet Sigewinne collects will grant her a Bond of Life. When Sigewinne’s Bond of Life is cleared, she regains Elemental Energy based on the amount of Bond of Life that was cleared.
◆ Elemental Burst: Super Saturated Syringing
◆ Takes out a special Fortress of Meropide-made syringe and assault the area in front with waves of kindness and medicine, dealing AoE Hydro DMG. In addition, Sigewinne absorbs nearby Sourcewater Droplets when she uses this skill.

◇ Vision: Electro
◇ Weapon: Bow
◇ The Temple of Silence’s heir. Burdened with secrets, he comes from the sands.
◆ Sethos can fire off special Aimed Shots that can be charged up to Charge Level 2. At Charge Level 2, Sethos cannot move around, but can fire off a powerful Shadowpiercing Shot which can pierce enemies, dealing Electro DMG to enemies along its path.
◆ Elemental Skill: Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands
◆ Gathers the might of thunder, dealing AoE Electro DMG and quickly retreating. If this attack triggers an Electro-related reaction, Sethos recovers a certain amount of Elemental Energy.
◆ Elemental Burst: Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer
◆ Perform a secret rite, entering the “Twilight Meditation” state, during which Sethos’s Normal Attacks will be converted into enemy-piercing Dusk Bolts: Deal Electro DMG to opponents in its path, with DMG increased based on Sethos’s Elemental Mastery. DMG dealt by Dusk Bolts is considered Charged Attack DMG.
◇ Sethos’s Passive Talent “Black Kite’s Enigma” allows Sethos to decrease the the charging time when aiming based on Sethos’s current Elemental Energy and consume a certain amount of Elemental Energy when the arrow is fired.

Stacks can still be triggered when the equipping character is not on the field. Each stack’s duration is counted independently.
