 ✦New Battlesuit: Lone Planetfarer✦

"I'll always be by your side as your friend and guide — I mean it this time!"

Lone Planetfarer (LP) is an S-rank MECH-type battlesuit who deals Lightning DMG with her Drive Core. With Sa's authority, LP can tear a hole in the Sea of Quanta for the Star Traveler. With the giant mecha, she bombards enemies with laser beams and pummels them with its fists.

◆ Weapon SKill (Planet Quaker form)

In Planet Quaker form, Wep-Skill invokes Star Traveler to fire laser beams at enemies. You can then follow up with an enhanced Basic ATK SEQ 3&4 to laser beam bombardment and restore LP's Intelligence.

◆ Combo ATK: Celestial Rupture

In Planet Quaker form, hold [ATK] to consume all and full Intelligence for Combo ATK. The Star Traveler descends and crushes enemies with its fists to deal massive Lightning (HP Loss) DMG.

◆ Ultimate: Galactic Onslaught

Tap [ULT] in Lone Traveler form to enter Planet Quaker form (triggers Time-frozen Domain during sequence).

Tap [ULT] again for Ultimate SEQ 2 Nihilation of Planets. Invokes Time-frozen Domain and the Star Traveler nukes massive Lightning DMG. After Astral Ring is activated and LP enters Stellar Outburst or casts Ultimate SEQ2, the team gains Omniscient Feathers, dealing more Total DMG while inflicting enemies with Elemental DMG and Physical DMG intake-debuffs.

◆ Astral Ring Skill: Savior's Legacy: Can't Slack!

◆ Astral Ring Skill: Star Voyager

As team leader in Stellar Outburst, continuously tap [ATK] to make the Star Traveler smash its fists down repeatedly and automatically connect to her Combo ATK.

In a Resonance Team, when LP enters the field for the first time during Stellar Outburst, the Star Traveler auto-casts False Abyss to deal Lightning DMG. Then repeatedly tap [ATK] to trigger Domain Resonance Marks and later cast Resonance Combo ATK to trigger Domain Resonance Marks again.

When Astral Ring Specialization: Wheel of Destiny is activated instead, LP can perform Shadow Star ATKs as a Phantom.

When either World Star or Wheel of Destiny is activated, Omniscient Feathers can grant characters with specific traits Elemental Breach or Physical Breach.
