New Characters

1) Mavuika

Rarity: 5⭐
Gnosis: Pyro
Weapon: Claymore

When wielding her claymore, she’s capable of launching attacks even from the battlefield. Moreover, she can lend support to other characters by inflicting Pyro damage on enemies when she’s not directly involved in the fight.

As I soar upon my trusty steed, the Flamestrider, I unleash my fiery abilities, channeling my powers for self-empowerment. In turn, I rain down a potent area-of-effect Pyro damage upon my surrounding foes.

Besides activating her Elemental Skill to call forth the Flamestrider, you can also utilize Natlan’s special ability called Nightsoul Transmission. In specific unique character states, Mavuika can be swapped in while she is already mounted on her Flamestrider. Additionally, when Mavuika is part of the team, she decreases the cooldown time for Nightsoul Transmission.

In contrast to other characters who build up Elemental Energy for their burst abilities, Mavuika amasses “Fighting Spirit”. This energy is boosted when a teammate spends Nightsoul points or lands regular attacks on opponents. Once Mavuika’s Fighting Spirit surpasses a specific threshold, she can unleash her Elemental Burst. Furthermore, the higher her Fighting Spirit, the stronger her Elemental Burst becomes.

Mavuika’s two Passive Skills work as follows:

2) Citlali

Rarity: 5⭐
Vision: Cryo
Weapon: Catalyst

When Citlali activates her special ability, she sets up a protective shield and collects Nightsoul points. At the same time, she enters the state of Nightsoul’s Blessing, conjuring the dark Itzpapa. Once Citlali accumulates a specific number of Nightsoul points, Itzpapa becomes enraged and attacks surrounding enemies with the Frostfall Storm.

When Citlali unleashes her Elemental Burst, she synchronizes her allies for a simultaneous assault. Notably, this Elemental Burst inflicts damage and, following the detonation, Citlali regains a specific number of Nightsoil points.

While away from the field or when Citlali is in her Nightsoul’s Blessing state, she can lessen the resistance to Hydro and Pyro attacks for enemies experiencing Frozen or Melt reactions. Concurrently, Citlali will restore some of her Nightsoul points during this time.

3) Lan Yan

Rarity: 4⭐
Vision: Anemo
Weapon: Catalyst

In the heat of battle, Lan Yan has the ability to swiftly advance with a unique weapon and set up protective barriers. Following this swift charge, she can leap into the air, attacking her adversaries from above.

Due to Lan Yan’s passive ability, when she dashes with her Elemental Skill, the shield she has placed takes in the element of whatever she collides with. Subsequently, this absorbed element affects her aerial attacks, causing them to inflict damage that corresponds to the same element.

Whenever Lan Yan unleashes her Elemental Burst, it generates a pulling mechanism that gathers adversaries together and inflicts damage on them repeatedly.

At a gathering where Lan Yan is present, your characters can approach Crystalflies and specific wildlife without causing them alarm or fright.

4) Pyro Traveler


New Weapons

1) A Thousand Blazing Suns

2) Starcaller’s Watch

New Boss & Enemies

1) Lord of Eroded Primal Fire (Weekly Boss)

The Abyss emulates this Dragon Sovereign, mamely this fearsome foe, the Lord of Eroded Primal Fire.


The Malevolent Ruler of Charred Ancient Flames will persistently assault you and strive to dismantle the grounds beneath your feet, gradually reducing the secure zones within the battlefield. Therefore, as you maneuver around these attacks, be mindful of any alterations in the arena layout.

By employing swift Elemental assaults, you can easily shatter it from its unique condition, and Elemental attacks aligned with Nightsoul prove particularly efficient in this scenario.

It’s noteworthy that when Travelers gain the power of Pyro, they will hold a significant upper hand in confrontations with the Lord of Corrupted Primordial Flame.

2) Wayward Hermetic Spiritspeaker


New Quests

1) Archon Quest

Even though the Abyss has temporarily been vanquished, its influence lingers ominously in the Night Kingdom’s darkness. Soon after a brief respite, the Traveler will set off on a mission to confront the Abyss once more. By successfully finishing Archon Quest Chapter V: Act V during Version 5.3, you can earn an extra 500 Primogems.

2) Mavuika’s Story Quest

Therefore, select the suitable one to create combos, wreak havoc on your adversaries, and secure triumph.

In the second playstyle, there’s an engaging combat mode called “Drills by Lamplight”. During these drills, you have the opportunity to employ diverse tactics in order to achieve impressive scores.
