New S-rank Battlesuit Raiden Mei's "Xentinel · Dawnbearing Crescent" debuts!

☆☆☆☆☆ Xentinel · Dawnbearing Crescent ☆☆☆☆☆

It all began with a young girl's innocent imagination: A gentle yet mighty guardian spirit strides out from the night, blade gleaming as it cleaves the loneliness and fear of the night asunder, while protecting the girl's tranquil dreams.

Now, to answer a child's call, the guardian spirit descends from legend into reality. Riding upon wind and wielding a crescent moon as a blade, the flashes of steel illuminate the final long night on the cusp between two years.

Though the world may change as time passes, her heart remains pure, and her blade grows ever sharper.
