Version Update Details:

I. New Content

◆ New Animuses

A new Animus will be added to the [Extre-Affinity Summon] and [Permanent Summon].

New SSR: Eclipse Hunter - Lowan (Disorder)

Role: Lowan is a defense-based damage dealer centered around the special effect [Exaltation]. By casting her Ultimate, Lowan applies [Exaltation] to an enemy Animus — causing them to be struck by her Skill 1 after every action, while greatly reducing the damage they deal to her, and decreasing the HP recovery and shields they receive. Her Skill 2 inflicts [ATK ↓] and [SPD ↓] on all enemy Animus, dealing heavy damage to those affected by [Exaltation]. Combined with the [Taunt] effect from her Skill 1, Lowan can effectively suppress the enemy’s main damage dealers, exerting strong control on the battlefield.

A new Animus will also join the [Anima Limited Summon] and [Permanent Summon].

New SSR: Rocking Phantom - Santik (Reason)

Role: Santik is a support-type Animus built around Critical Strikes. His exclusive passive allows any ally who lands a critical hit to recover HP based on their damage dealt, while increasing the CRIT Damage of all allies. His Skill-2 extends the cooldown of all enemy Animus and Shell abilities, while applying [CRIT ↓] and [Effect ACC ↓]. Santik’s Ultimate cleanses debuffs from all allies, grants [CRIT ↑] and [CRIT Damage ↑], and immediately grants him an extra turn. In prolonged battles, he greatly improves team sustain while continuously boosting the team’s overall damage output.
