Hi, Marisa here. Welcome to another patch overview. Just a quick run-down on all the major content in v5.7.

New valkyrie - APONIA [Disciplinary Perdition]

Rank 3 Flame-chaser - Aponia joins the Hyperion! [DISCIPLINARY PERDITION] is a powerful S-rank BIO-type Lightning DPS with a unique playstyle that enables her to deal damage from the background. Just like most new S-rank valks, Aponia is only obtainable from gacha.

Cast weapon skill to enter Conviction state, where Aponia recover her Redemption meter. You can switch out to other team members and Aponia will remain on the field until her Redemption meter is full. If a Lightning team member attacks an enemy, Aponia will summon a lightning strike!

When the Redemption meter is full, use Combo ATK to summon thunderstorms, dealing damage to all enemies on the field.

New valkyrie - EDEN [Golden Diva]

The Flame-chasers come in pairs. Eden's SP battlesuit [GOLDEN DIVA] is IMG-type Lightning support, specializing in debuffing enemies, filling paralyze trauma, and providing SP to the team. She has excellent synergy with Aponia, but she can also be used with other Lightning damage dealers such as HoT who’s greatly SP dependent - especially with her upcoming Divine Key.

She is an SP valk, which means she is farmable from Asterite shop, Arsenal shop, Open World task and other 5.7 events.

Nuada's Grief and Goemon added to Battle Pass.
