✦New Battlesuit: Herrscher of Finality✦

She holds the key to humanity’s transcendence beyond finality and a brighter future. 

“The authority comes from everyone’s hard work… I’ll take good care of it.”

Herrscher of Finality (HoFi) is an S-rank IMG-type Fire battlesuit. She fights with both pistols and a sword. HoFi can trigger Absolute Time Fracture to truly stop all timers as she fights.

◆ [Combo ATK: Searching Drifter, Answered]

With maxed Descent, hold [ATK] to consume them to cast Combo ATK and switch between her unique Time Flint stance and Moon Blade stance. 

If Herrscher of Truth and Herrscher of Origin are also in the same team, HoFi’s Combo ATK is enhanced!

Cast Combo ATK to gain a Time Wave stack. Hold [EVA] to consume 2 Time Waves for Absolute Time Fracture (Invincibility & Time-frozen Domain). After Time-frozen Domain expires or at 0 Descent, HoFi will cast Combo ATK and end Absolute Time Fracture.

◆ [Ultimate: Deadly Finality, Surmounted]

Hold [ULT] and all timers are paused. HoFi performs a jump kick nuke of massive Fire DMG and a Time-frozen Domain.

If Herrscher of Truth and Herrscher of Origin are also in the same team, the Ultimate becomes a Joint Ultimate instead. Hold [ULT] to stop all timers as the trio Herrschers jointly attack and deal massive Fire, Ice and Lightning DMG.

✦Herrscher of Finality’s Signature Gear✦

In Version Kiana, Key of Anonymity and its PRI-ARM variant Domain of Genesis are HoFi’s new signature and recommended weapons. The Pistols provide Fire buff/debuffs, Total DMG, and Total DMG Vulnerability bonuses! More importantly, the weapons enable HoFi to switch stances and cast Combo ATKs easier!

The In the Name of Finality set is HoFi’s new signature and recommended stigmata set. Kiana Kaslana stigs provide Fire buff/debuffs, Total DMG, Total DMG Vulnerability, and SP-regen bonuses! This set is ideal for Fire Herrschers!

◆ Version Kiana will have a limited time Expansion supply, Hope of Finality, and Focused Supply for HoFi and her recommended gears respectively. The Expansion Supply will drop HoFi within 100 Pulls. The Focused Supply will drop an unobtained recommended gear within every 50 pulls.

✦New Battlesuit: Herrscher of Origin✦

Together with her partners, she shall transcend the destiny that no one has ever overcome.

“Raiden Mei chose to protect humanity as a Herrscher.”

Herrscher of Origin (HoO) is an S-rank IMG-type Lightning battlesuit. HoO uses her floating Wing Blades floating next to strike her enemies. Upon Ulting, she slashes her enemies while sundering space-time.

[Combo ATK: Phantasm of Danzai]

Tap [ATK] at the end of Basic ATK, Basic ATK SEQ 4, or an Evasion to consume bar meter and Combo ATK.

Triggering Regressive Origin builds up Twisted Origin stacks. With 3 Twisted Origin stacks, hold [ATK] to perform Malice Expunged Combo ATK.

[Ultimate: Thunder of Redemption]

Stop all stage timers as HoO unleashes a series of slashes. After casting Ultimate, swipe screen, tap [ATK], tap directions or move the joystick to launch a series of slashes.

After 12 slashes or 20 seconds, HoO will launch a final slash that deals massive Lightning DMG to enemies.

✦Herrscher of Origin’s Signature Gear✦

Coming to Version Kiana are HoO’s new signature and recommended weapons, Key of Limpidity and its PRI-ARM variant Domain of Unity. The weapons provide Lightning DMG, TDM, Elemental DMG Vulnerability and SP-regen bonuses! When equipped by HoO, the weapons have additional and crucial battlesuit-specific buffs that improve her gameplay!

The In the Name of Origin set is HoO’s new signature and recommended stigmata set. Raiden Mei stigs provide Lightning DMG, Total DMG, Total DMG Vulnerability, and SP-regen bonuses! Meanwhile the set bonuses provide more Lightning buffs/debuffs, Elemental Vulnerability, and a lot of Total DMG Vulnerability!

◆ Version Kiana will have an Expansion Supply (Origin Rekindled) and Focused Supply (Pure-minded Shadow) for both HoO and her Recommended Gear respectively. 

• The Expansion Supply rewards up to 180 HoO Frags for pulling in its supply. Every 10 pulls from the first 100 pulls rewards 10x HoO Frags! Every 25 pulls afterwards (up to 300th) rewards 10x HoO Frags!

• The Focused Supply pities an unobtained Recommended HoO Gear every 30 pulls! In addition every 10 pull rewards 5 Focused Supply Cards (max 40 cards; 80 pulls).
