3.1 Changes and Additions

Highlighted among the latest 3.1 updates are the debut of Aemeath.

Character

Explanation

aemeath.webp

Aemeath

  • Aemeath is a 5-star Fusion Sword Resonator who functions as a dual-form Main DPS and System-Enabling Sub-DPS. She specializes in a unique "Digital Ghost" combat style, seamlessly unleashing massive Resonance Liberation DMG while coordinating with team-wide elemental mechanics.
  • She is designed to be the cornerstone of specialized elemental archetypes. In Resonance Mode - Tune Rupture, she thrives alongside Resonators who can respond to "Interfered" states, while her Resonance Mode - Fusion Burst allows her to hyper-scale with teams that frequently trigger area-of-effect Fusion reactions. Her kit is uniquely adaptive, providing different All-DMG Amplification buffs through her Outro Skill based on her current active mode.
  • Aemeath’s strength lies in her high damage ceiling during her Resonance Liberation window and her ability to remain combat-effective even when falling in battle. 

Luuk Herssen

Luuk Herssen

  • Luuk Herssen is a 5-star Spectro Gauntlet Resonator who excels as a high-mobility Main DPS specializing in aerial combat and heavy Basic Attack DMG. He utilizes his unique "Ichor" mechanics to cycle through multiple Resonance Skill forms, delivering precise and lethal strikes both on the ground and in mid-air.
  • His gameplay revolves around the Aureate Judge state, triggered by filling his Ichor Flow. In this mode, his Resonance Skill transforms into a three-stage combo enhancing his Basic Attack multipliers and culminating in the powerful Gavel of Earthshaker plunging attack.
  • Luuk is deeply integrated with the Tune Strainand and Tune Break mechanics. He deals amplified damage to "Interfered" targets based on his Tune Break Boost stat, making him significantly stronger when paired with teammates who can rapidly deplete enemy toughness.

Tier Explanation

T0

Meta-shaping powerhouses. They stand out in practically all game content and seamlessly fit into various team lineups. They’re absolutely worth pulling for and putting heavy resources into.

T0.5

Top-level performers with only minor drawbacks. They may require specific team configurations or a bit more skill to master, but they still deliver outstanding results.

T1

Dependable, steady choices. These characters do well in most situations, though they might struggle in certain specific scenarios or need more investment to truly excel.

T2

Characters that work in specific situations. They can perform well in niche teams or particular content, but they’re generally overshadowed by higher-tier alternatives.

T3

Their practical use is limited. These characters need substantial investment and specific team setups to be competitive.

 

Tags Explanation

 DPS

DPS is the cornerstone of your offensive strategy, dealing heavy damage consistently throughout a battle. These characters usually boast powerful attacks and abilities that prioritize offensive stats such as ATK, Crit DMG, and Crit Rate. The entire team is built around creating favorable conditions and supporting the Main DPS to help them unleash their maximum damage potential.

Sub DPS

Sub-DPS characters complement the Main DPS by dishing out substantial damage while offering additional benefits to the team. They often have potent burst attacks that deal massive damage in a short span. Some Sub-DPS units also bring utility to the table, like applying buffs to enhance the team’s performance.

Support

Support characters focus on aiding the entire team rather than dealing high damage. They ensure the team stays alive and performs at its best by providing healing, shields, or buffs that boost attack power or defense.
