Archive [Test Subject Records]

We're adding a new tab in Archive: Test Subject Records.

This new menu features a variety of lore and information about our test subjects, something you've been asking for!

You can sequentially unlock each subject's reports and logs either by playing Normal or Ranked matches with that character, or by using Data Fragments.

Multiple Chronospheres

The end-game Safe Zone system is getting a major overhaul.

Instead of the previous Temporary Safe Zones, Season 12 introduces the "Multi-Chronosphere" system, where Chronospheres will activate in two areas simultaneously.

Restricted Area Reopening System

We're adding a new strategic variable available through Lumi.

From Day 2 to Night 4, characters who meet Lumi can spend Credits to reopen a Restricted Area of their choice as a Safe Zone.

Reopenings are limited to a first-come, first-served basis, and can only be done during designated reopening periods, once per phase.

New Item Skills

New Legendary items and new item skills will be added in Season 12.

Gust of Wind - Frostbite, Plague Butterfly, Chasing Needle, Gold Pouch
