☆☆☆☆☆ Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime ☆☆☆☆☆

She was once bound by seemingly unreachable dreams and entangled in vengeful obsession. Yet, she never abandoned the faith in her heart.

She measures an extraordinary path with ordinary steps, firmly toward the future she seeks. She stays true to her heart and her past self.

"We've come such a long way, Helia!"

◆ How to Get the Battlesuit

After the v8.3 update until 12:00, AUG 8, Battlesuit Supply "Illuminated Path Ahead" will be available. The featured S-rank battlesuit "Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime" is guaranteed in 90 drops with 50% off the first 10 drops.

☆☆☆☆☆ Skill Showcase ☆☆☆☆☆

Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime is a BIO-type Lightning DMG dealer who wields a Rapid-Shot Crossbow. Now that Helia has confronted and accepted her true self, she continues to walk her own path and has unlocked new powers. She is protected by the Astral Ring Specialization: Grail of Infinitude. She has multiple ways to quickly recover SP, can deal burst damage by connecting Ultimate sequences, and can inflict Paralyze Trauma on enemies. During Stellar Outburst, the whole team shares SP, allowing you to synchronize SP recovery and damage dealing for lethal effects.

◆ Ultimate: Prudence: Sincere Oath

When SP is full, tap [ULT] for "Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime" to perform her 3-sequence Ultimate. Each sequence grants 1 stack of KE "Scorch" and inflicts Paralyze Trauma on enemies.

After performing her Ultimate, she gains the buff "Floating Pivot". While the buff is in effect, some of her attacks will additionally release "Drifting Edge" to deal DMG while further accelerating SP recovery.

◆ Combo ATK: Upright Form: Will to Advance

When KE "Scorch" is full, hold [ATK] to perform her Combo ATK that continuously pulls enemies, deals massive Lightning DMG, and triggers global Time Fracture. On hit, teammates' QTE are triggered.

During Stellar Outburst, Helia's Combo ATK can be connected to her Link Ultimate "Rainless Skies" to deal massive Lightning DMG. After that, she will exit Stellar Outburst. She will be invincible and Time-frozen Domain will take effect during this time.

◆ Basic ATK: Upright Mind: Journey of Pursuit

Tap [ATK] to perform a 3-sequence Basic ATK and inflict Paralyze Trauma on enemies. While in mid-air, tap [ATK] to perform a Downward ATK. Both Basic ATK and Downward ATK will restore SP to "Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime". While the buff "Floating Pivot" is in effect, Basic ATK will additionally release "Drifting Edge" and accelerate SP recovery.

◆ Astral Ring Skill: Sky Arc Star: Homing Pigeon

When "Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime" enters Stellar Outburst as the leader, her max SP increases and all team members share SP. During Stellar Outburst, she can consume a fixed amount of SP to trigger the special effect "Facet of Infinitude". After triggering "Facet of Infinitude" 2 times, her Combo ATK and Link Ultimate will be enhanced to deal even more Lightning DMG.

Teammates with the Symbiosis trait can accelerate SP recovery and "Facet of Infinitude" buildup, allowing the team to deal burst DMG at a faster rate.

In a Law of Ascension team, enter Stellar Outburst and select "Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime" to perform her powerful QTE "Stellar Shift", which triggers Combo ATK to deal Lightning DMG, and can be connected to Link Ultimate "Rainless Skies".

☆☆☆☆☆ Grail of Infinitude ☆☆☆☆☆

Helia's new S-rank battlesuit "Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime" debuts with new Astral Ring Specialization: Grail of Infinitude.

◆ New Astral Ring Specialization: Grail of Infinitude

When a character with Astral Ring Specialization: Grail of Infinitude activates the Astral Ring as the leader, all team members' max SP increases greatly and all team members share SP. The character can then deal continuous burst DMG by performing multiple Ultimates. Consuming a certain amount of SP triggers "Facet of Infinitude" to provide additional buffs to the team.

New battlesuit "Planar Armament: Warped Spacetime" is protected by Astral Ring Specialization: Grail of Infinitude. During Stellar Outburst, triggering "Facet of Infinitude" gradually increases her DMG dealt. Multiple triggers significantly enhances her Combo ATK.

◆ New Astral Ring Trait: Symbiosis

The new Astral Ring Specialization: Grail of Infinitude will unlock the new Astral Ring trait: Symbiosis for some characters.

When Astral Ring Specialization: Grail of Infinitude is activated, characters with the Astral Ring trait: Symbiosis will receive SP buffs, such as reduced SP consumption for Ultimates. During Stellar Outburst, these characters will restore bonus SP and accelerate "Facet of Infinitude" buildup, thus speeding up the team's burst DMG cycle.

During Stellar Outburst, the team's max SP is the sum of all team members' max SP. Some attacks of characters with the Symbiosis trait accelerate SP recovery. Use a character protected by Grail of Infinitude and activate Astral Ring to deal DMG. Then, switch to a character with the Symbiosis trait to attack and recover SP. Finally, switch back to the character protected by Grail of Infinitude to deal burst DMG.

◆ New Astral Ring Skill Unlocked

After the v8.3 update, "Peregrine Sword", "Ba-Dum! Fiery Wishing Star", "Herrscher of Human: Ego" (equipped with Flawless Benediction), and "Reign Solaris" will unlock the Astral Ring trait: Symbiosis and gain new Astral Ring skills.
