Character Selection

Choose a character that suits your playstyle. Each role has unique abilities, so understanding their strengths will help you decide which fits best.


OffenseA Formidable powerhouse capable of inflicting devastating damage on their adversaries
DefenseA resilient survivalist capable of counteracting relentless attacks and harsh combat environments

Character Combat Style

Characters are designed around close, medium, or ranged combat styles. When starting out, select the playstyle that matches how you prefer to approach battles


Close Range CombatThese characters are good at using medium to close range weapons and Relic abilities to defeat and control combatants quickly
Medium Range CombatThese characters are good at using medium-range weapons and Relic abilities to adapt to various occasions
Long Range CombatThese characters are good at using long-range weapons and Relic abilities to preform precision final blows and provide fire support

Character Element

Each weapon in the game is tied to a specific element, and many enemies carry elemental shields that protect them in battle. Recognizing these shields is crucial, since the color indicates which element is most effective against them. By equipping and using the weapon that matches the weakness, you can break the shield faster and make fights much easier. Always pay attention to the shield’s color and switch to the corresponding weapon to maintain an advantage in combat

Aside from weapon elements, each character also has their own corresponding element. This determines the elemental type of their skills, influencing how their abilities interact with enemy shields and weaknesses.


ArcArc is the element of motion and conduction, and is created when the electromagnetic forces of our universe struggle to achieve balance
SolarSolar energy is related to combustion, heat, nuclear fusion, and healing. To master it is to understand the star’s duality, for the forces we use to scorch are the same we harness to heal
VoidVoid is the element of cosmic distortion. It is the pull of gravity and the promise of entropy

Character Rarity

Rarity simply defines how rare a character is and how difficult they are to unlock or obtain through the gacha system. Currently, there are only two available rarities
