New Releases:

• New Doll Lainie (UMP40)
  • Sentinel class (Physical)
  • Doll with ability to use a “clone” of herself (named “Mental Image” here), everything that Lainie is using, including weapon, attachments, Remolding Pattern, etc, will be “cloned” to the clone

• Lainie’s Skills (TBC with live server, we got these from the demo)
  • S1 Lvl 3: Selects 1 enemy unit within 7 tiles, dealing Physical damage equal to 180% of attack to it. [Mental Image] will activate S1 with itself as the skill’s center and can no longer use active attacks during this turn. If Mental Image’s S1 did not hit the enemies that are hit by Lainie’s S1, ignores 60% of the target’s defense. Mental Image’s S1 and Lainie’s S1 both applies 1 stack of [Umbrella Care II] on the target before attacking, and increases critical damage by 20% against targets whose defense is lower than or equal to 0 (5 Stability damage, 0 cooldown)
  • S2: Unknown single target skill
  • Ultimate Lvl 3: Selects 1 empty tile within 7 tiles, summons 1 [Mental Image] and applies 2 stacks of [Umbrella Care II] on all enemies within 3 tiles of the selected tile, and increases Lainie’s Confectance Index by 3 points. Lainie and [Mental Image] both gain [Bond of Potential II] for 1 round. At the end of the round, [Mental Image] decreases Lainie’s Confectance Index by 2 points. If Lainie has insufficient Confectance Index or the [Mental Image] dies, the [Mental Image] will return back to Laine. This skill cannot be activated when [Mental Image] is present on the battlefield. When Lainie or [Mental Image] deals damage to enemy units whose defense is lower than or equal to 0, the other half gains [Bond of Power] (1 turn cooldown)

If this skill hit 3 or fewer enemies, for every 1 less enemy hit, increases damage multiplier by 20%, up to 180%. Lainie will activate S1 against the enemy and can no longer use active attacks for this round. If this skill hits a target whose defense is lower than or equal to 0, Lainie’s S1 will ignore 60% of the target’s defense. If the skill activation fails, Lainie can only activate S1 during this turn. [Mental Image]’s S1 and Lainie’s S1 both applies 1 stack of [Umbrella Care II] on the target before attacking, and increases critical damage by 20% against targets whose defense is lower than or equal to 0 (3 Stability damage, 0 cooldown)

• Yuzhong had mentioned Lainie is POTENTIALLY the Physical damage hyper carry that the players are waiting for. Stay tuned to find out.
• The devs spent the majority of the video (around 10min+) manplaining about the changes to Phase Breakthrough, which is already in the aforementioned links above
• Lainie’s event will cover on the “origin” of her, and how she came about. Spoilers for Deep Oblivion which I will not mention here
