A temporary event will be launched to introduce the mechanics "Talent Showcase", where players will be able to try out Sunday and the Heart of the Moon in turn-based combat. Successful completion of the test will yield the standard reward of 20 Star Jades and basic resources for leveling up.

Sunday

Sunday is the former leader of the ruling faction of Penakonia, the Family, and a follower of Order. He is officially introduced as a playable hero of the Path of Harmony with the Imaginary element. According to ubatcha, the hero's skill and super ability do not cause damage, he hits enemies only with basic attacks, from which we can conclude that the character adheres to the position of a buffer. Judging by the early leaks, he is endowed with a technique similar to the mechanics ruan mei, - at the beginning of the battle the skill is activated automatically, without spending the team's total points.

Fugue

Fugue is an alternative version of the deceased Tingyun, who will appear as a and secondary damage dealer. The girl adheres to the Path of Nothingness and is endowed with a fire type of damage. The character is sharpened for the commands of the super-penetration mechanic: the girl's ive abilities are aimed at quickly destroying vulnerability and triggering super-penetration. The model of the alternative Tingyun will remain the same, but the design will undergo changes, as was the case with March 7, who accepted the path of the Hunt.

Fugue and Resurrection Gameplay

After the launch of the test servers for update 2.7, a video was posted online demonstrating combat animations of future characters.

Mechanics Sunday (Harmony: Imaginary) is aimed at ing damage dealers with summoned creatures: the character advances the actions of both allies and their companions placed in the turn queue. Moreover, the buffer restores team skill points and energy, increases the crit. chance and crit. damage of allies, and also increases speed.

Fugue (Non-existence: Fire) s commands for breaking through the volume of the enemy's resistance bar and breaking through all types of vulnerabilities, which facilitates a quick transition to the phase of dealing damage with super penetration. The girl's skill is used on characters in the squad to increase combat characteristics and impose positive statuses.

New light cones

The list of cards will feature two signature light cones of new legendary characters, corresponding to their classes:

• "The Long Road Home" (Nonexistence) - Fugue's signature weapon increases the penetration effect of the character equipped with this "card" by 60-100%. When the vulnerability is destroyed, the target is given the "Charred" status with a base chance of 100%, which increases the penetration damage received by 20-30%. The duration of the status is 2 turns, the weakening can be stacked up to two times.
• "From Heaven to Earth" (Harmony) - Sunday's Light Cone is focused on constantly using abilities to a single squad member. When the wearer uses a skill or ultimate on one ally, they restore 6-8 energy and the target gains 1 level of Anthem. The effect lasts for 3 turns and stacks up to 15 times, with each stack increasing damage dealt by 24-1%. Every two uses of a skill or ultimate on the same ally restores XNUMX skill point.

New exploration continuation missions

Patch 2.7 is expected to continue the Penakonia story campaign, which will conclude the events that unfolded in "Battles without ninja and pity", where director Reka is going to reveal to Rappa the location of the Primitive, because of which such experiments are being carried out.

It's also worth noting that the December update will be the final step before the Pathfinders visit the new planet. Amphoreus, planned for 3.0. The planet is considered the permanent home of the Society of Geniuses, and the course there is set starting with the story mission KMM. According to Z leaks и Soul The young man will the Star Express crew in the future and follow the team to the next planet.

Thus, it can be assumed that in 2.7 there will be a process of preparation for the journey with the release of Sunday from prison and the drawing up of a plan to destroy Doctor Primitive.

New location in Penaconia

Since the update is planned to be a large-scale continuation of the storyline of the planet of celebrations, it is likely that the developers will add a new location to Penakonia.

In honor of the opening of the new carriage, a temporary event with rewards will be launched, during which you will be able to get to know the new mechanics better and get limited items.

Common wagon

The Party Car was originally called the Meeting Car and was used by the crew for scheduled meetings. Later, a robot named Shush, who is likely d with an enemy faction, was brought on board. The creature was allowed to accompany the Express on the condition that he could not move freely around the train or leave his car.
