4.7 Patch Notes

New Characters

• 5-Star Character "Candlebearer, Shadowhunter" Clorinde (Electro)
  • Vision: Electro
  • Weapon: Sword
  • Elemental Skill: Hunter's Vigil
    • Preparing her pistolet, she enters the "Night Vigil" state. In this state, Clorinde's Normal Attacks will be transformed into "Swift Hunt" pistolet attacks that help accumulate her Bond of Life, and her Elemental Skill will be transformed into "Impale the Night" that clears her Bond of Life and heals her while performing a lunging attack. When her Bond of Life is relatively low, "Swift Hunt" pistolet attacks will be able to pierce opponents. When her Bond of Life is relatively high, the AoE and the DMG dealt by "Impale the Night" will be increased.
  • Elemental Burst: Last Lightfall
    • Grants herself a Bond of Life before swiftly evading and striking with saber and sidearm as one, dealing AoE Electro DMG
• 5-Star Character "Wondrous Dragonheir" Sigewinne (Hydro)
  • Vision: Hydro
  • Weapon: Bow
    • After fully charging her Aimed Shot, Sigewinne will periodically fire slow-moving Mini-Stration Bubbles toward the target, dealing Hydro DMG.
  • Elemental Skill: Rebound Hydrotherapy
    • Hold to blow a Bolstering Bubblebalm that bounces between nearby opponents and imprisons weaker opponents, dealing Hydro DMG. When it bounces, it will restore HP to all nearby party members except Sigewinne herself. When the Bolstering Bubblebalm disappears, it will restore HP to Sigewinne. In addition, Sourcewater Droplets will be created near Sigewinne when she uses this Skill. Each Sourcewater Droplet Sigewinne collects will grant her a Bond of Life. When Sigewinne's Bond of Life is cleared, she regains Elemental Energy based on the amount of Bond of Life that was cleared.
  • Elemental Burst: Super Saturated Syringing
    • Takes out a special Fortress of Meropide-made syringe and assault the area in front with waves of kindness and medicine, dealing AoE Hydro DMG. In addition, Sigewinne absorbs nearby Sourcewater Droplets when she uses this skill
• 4-Star Character "Wisdom's Measure" Sethos (Electro)
  • Vision: Electro
  • Weapon: Bow
    • Sethos can fire off special Aimed Shots that can be charged up to Charge Level 2. At Charge Level 2, Sethos cannot move around, but can fire off a powerful Shadowpiercing Shot which can pierce enemies, dealing Electro DMG to enemies along its path.
  • Elemental Skill: Ancient Rite: The Thundering Sands
    • Gathers the might of thunder, dealing AoE Electro DMG and quickly retreating. If this attack triggers an Electro-related reaction, Sethos recovers a certain amount of Elemental Energy.
  • Elemental Burst: Secret Rite: Twilight Shadowpiercer
    • Perform a secret rite, entering the "Twilight Meditation" state, during which Sethos's Normal Attacks will be converted into enemy-piercing Dusk Bolts: Deal Electro DMG to opponents in its path, with DMG increased based on Sethos's Elemental Mastery. DMG dealt by Dusk Bolts is considered Charged Attack DMG.
  • Sethos's Passive Talent "Black Kite's Enigma" allows Sethos to decrease the the charging time when aiming based on Sethos's current Elemental Energy and consume a certain amount of Elemental Energy when the arrow is fired

New Equipment

• Absolution (5-Star Sword)
  • CRIT DMG increased by 20%. Increasing the value of a Bond of Life increases the DMG the equipping character deals by 16% for 6s. Max 3 stacks.
• Silvershower Heartstrings (5-Star Bow)
  • The equipping character can gain the Remedy effect. When they possess 1/2/3 Remedy stacks, Max HP will increase by 12%/24%/40%. 1 stack may be gained when the following conditions are met: 1 stack for 25s when using an Elemental Skill; 1 stack for 25s when the value of a Bond of Life value increases; 1 stack for 20s for performing healing. Stacks can still be triggered when the equipping character is not on the field. Each stack's duration is counted independently. In addition, when 3 stacks are active, Elemental Burst CRIT Rate will be increased by 28%. This effect will be canceled 4s after falling under 3 stacks
• Cloudforged (4-Star Bow)
