Summer has ended in the northern hemisphere, prompting a transition in the in-game environment to the autumn season.
🌸 New Hero — Exclusive for Avatar NFT holders
Sakuya is a highly agile mage assassin hero who can frequently use mobility skills to deal damage and change her position. Whether for offense or evasion, she can execute both promptly. First casting Skill 2(Sakura Allure) and planting a charm seed increases damage and deals control to enemies, then use Skill 1(Sakura Touch) to make quick two-stage burst damage, and then finish the target enemy with the Ultimate Skill(Blooming World Flower Dance).

✨ New Skins
Four heroes can be played with skins in the game, and they are Brynhild, Merlin, Asura, and Nyx.
The skins are categorized into three series: Myth(Normal), Legend(Rare), and Radiance(Super Rare).Different series of skins will enhance the hero’s attributes, with higher-tier skins providing more attribute boosts. Each series of skins also comes with corresponding tiers, which can change the style of the level border for the hero used in the game.
