Hello, captain! Welcome to Version 5.3 Patch Overview by Kopenych & A.E.N.! The power of cuteness unleashes its fists to fight for the dearest ones! The new version is coming closer, so we’re here to bring you more upcoming update details. Let’s check everything out! 

WARNING: All information is based on BETA 5.3.

New Battlesuit: Sweet ‘n’ Spicy

Rank: SP

Valkyrie type: MECH

Damage type: Melee, Physical

Role: Support

Some girls want happiness. Some girls cherish freedom. Some girls revel in challenges. And she chases after all three things.

This post-Honkai era girl, Carole, is spunky, sassy, and free-spirited. A true cr**** will shape her into a trustworthy soldier. 

New SP-rank battlesuit Sweet ‘n’ Spicy debuts! As a MECH-type melee Physical support whose Charged ATK deals heavy damage to shields and Ultimate buffs teammates on the field after she switches out.

How to get [Sweet ‘n’ Spicy]:

◆ Expansion Supply

◆ Open World Adventure Tasks

◆ Asterite Shop

◆ Battle Arsenal

Equipment

Carole is a new gauntlets user and new Physical support character (like many others, you can say), but this time her role as a Valkyrie is quite unique - she is a pro shield breaker. Her weapon not only gives her an advantage in terms of her stats and damage, but it also gives her unique attack animation and sequences, so you’ll definitely want to get them for the best combat experience. If you want to try something else, the numerous gauntlet options as Grips of Tai Xuan or Skoll and Hati are here to help you. By the way - Carole’s giant mecha fists will change the design depending on which weapon you equip, that’s a nice detail! Go check this out!

As for stigma sets you should also consider the signature one, Paganini, as the primal target for Carole: this set has quite a lot of unique effects that are focused on shield breaking and Physical damage boost. However, it doesn’t mean that this is the sole option - you can also play out with different Physical damage stigma sets as Marco Polo, Elysia, and the others.

APHO 2: Prologue - Before Starfall
