Here’s the video where the information comes from:

New characters

Indris

Indris is a Wilder Marksman adept at identifying enemy weaknesses and delivering precise strikes in battle. His range is 15, so very big, and he deals Physical damage.

He specializes in AFK Stages and Dream Realm.

Let’s go over his skills:

Ultimate – SPELLBANE SHOT

Indris fires a silencing arrow to deal damage to an enemy. It resets the target’s stats to their initial values from the start of the battle and prevents them from increasing for a period of time. The shot also reduces the target’s Phys & Magic DEF for the rest of the battle. The reduction is unstackable.

When Indris fires a silencing arrow at a target with exposed weakness, he deals extra true damage equal to a portion of the target’s max HP.

Skill – TRUE SIGHT

When an enemy is affected by several different stat reduction debuffs from Indris or his allies, the enemy’s weakness is exposed. Indris’s normal attacks deal extra true damage to enemies with exposed weaknesses. This effect can trigger once every few seconds per enemy.

In addition, Indris’s normal attack fires multiple arrows. Each arrow targets different enemies, prioritizing enemies with exposed weaknesses. If all arrows hit the same target, each arrow after the first deals reduced damage.

Skill – ARCANE BINDING

Indris knocks back nearby enemies, then casts a binding spell on the nearest one, dealing damage and immobilizing them.

Ex. Skill – WINDPIERCER

Each time Indris triggers the exposed weakness damage bonus, he increases his ATK SPD for a period of time (Unstackable).

Indris’s normal attacks reduce the target’s Phys DEF for a period of time (Unstackable).

Kulu

Kulu is a Hypogean Marksman who forms bombs on the battlefield, unleashing widespread chaos. Her range is 6, and she deals Physical damage.

She specializes in AFK Stages and PVP.

Let’s go over her skills:

Passive – ???

When Kulu’s normal attack hits a target, it triggers an explosion that deals damage to that target and nearby enemies. Kulu’s skills can damage both enemies and allies, but allies take reduced damage.

Ultimate – BLAST MAYHEM

When Kulu actively casts her Ultimate, she unleashes her fury, bombarding the enemy side of the battlefield multiple times. Each strike hits a random tile, dealing damage to all units on that tile and in the surrounding area. After the bombardment, Kulu summons the gigantified Boomboom to deal damage to all units on the enemy side of the battlefield.

Kulu only casts her Ultimate if there are enemies present on their side of the battlefield. She becomes unaffected while casting her Ultimate.

Skill – DEMOLITION ZONE

When a battle starts, Kulu bombs the edge tiles of the enemy side of the battlefield, leaving debris that blocks movement on the affected tiles. The bombing deals damage to units on those tiles and knocks them back.

Debris at the center of the battlefield can be destroyed after taking a few hits, but debris on other tiles is indestructible. Whenever the center debris is destroyed, Kulu summons an aerial attack on that tile, landing after a few seconds and covering it with debris once again.

When using this skill actively, Kulu teleports to the nearest enemy, dealing damage to that enemy and knocking them into the air. She then returns to her original tile. If the target is on the allied side of the battlefield, Kulu knocks the enemy back toward their side instead of knocking them into the air. Kulu is invincible while casting this skill.

Skill – BOOMBOOM BASH!

Kulu summons Boomboom, which bounces between enemies. The first 2 bounces target the frontmost enemies, devouring them. For the last bounce, Boomboom targets the rearmost enemy on the enemy side of the battlefield and releases the devoured enemies upon hitting the last target.

Each bounce deals damage to its target and adjacent units, reducing their movement speed. Devoured enemies are unable to attack or act and can only take damage from Boomboom.

EX. Skill – BOMBS AWAY!

When a battle starts, Kulu applies an explosive debuff to all enemies, increasing their damage taken for the rest of the battle.

When an enemy with the explosive debuff is defeated, Kulu turns them into a doom bomb that detonates after a short delay. The explosion deals damage to all units within 2 tiles, plus extra damage equal to a portion of the defeated enemy’s initial HP.

Faction Talents

Here is information about the new Faction Talents:

• Lightbearers: Summon a bow at the start of the battle, and every few basic attacks, the bow will fire at enemies, dealing damage and inflicting CC on them.
• Wilders: Sacrifice an ally 3 seconds into the battle to intimidate the enemies, reducing their Haste while at the same time increasing allies’ Haste.
• Maulers: Gain a protective ward that boosts their melee damage and defense.
• Graveborn: Convert HP into Shields while dealing more damage and taking less damage. The shield lasts throughout the battle.
• Celestial/Hypogean: Increases Energy recovery at the cost of ATK (Light Spell) and increases ATK at the cost of HP (Dark Spell).

New season format

Unlike previous seasons, the new one will be divided into three phases instead of frontloading all content early in the season. The first two phases will last five weeks, while the last one will remain active until the end of the season. As usual, the season will last four months.

Each phase has its own:

• AFK Stages
  • Once you reach the maximum stage for the phase, you can tackle special challenge stages,
  • After reaching certain milestones, everyone on the server will receive additional rewards, and the person who cleared the challenge stages will be added to a special leaderboard.
• Resonance Level
• Primal Lord – this time, there will be three Primal Lords we will face this season, one in each phase.

Enhance Force aka character buffs

Eight characters will receive Enhance Force buffs this season:

• Scarlita – here are some details of her buff:
  • When Scarlita is in the air, she will grant a shield to the ally who receives a fatal blow (aka cheat death). If the effect won’t trigger, when descending, Scarlita will slam the ground, creating a zone that boosts the damage of every ally inside it (it covers the entire battlefield).
• Hodkin
• Niru
• Nara
• Bryon
• Dunlingr
• Rhys
• Granny Dahnie
