Welcome to Amphoreus
The Astral Express is about to take us to a brand-new planet called the Land of Memories, Amphoreus. This place was inspired by Greek mythology and looks like nothing we’ve seen in the game so far. The planet seems to be where three Paths collide, and it’s setting the stage for some really interesting storylines ahead.
New Characters Join the Roster
Two exciting 5-star characters are making their debut in the upcoming livestream:
The Herta: Herta is finally stepping out of her puppet form and making her debut as a real character. As an Ice-Erudition character, she’s going to be much stronger than her 4-star version, so get ready for her to pack a serious punch.
Aglaea: As the first character from Amphoreus wielding the new Path of Remembrance, she brings Lightning element skills to the table. She also has a unique mannequin-like companion called Memosprite, adding a cool twist to her abilities.
Revolutionary New Path System
The Path of Remembrance brings a totally new way to play the game with Memosprites. These are summonable units that can do a few things in the game. They can take on different roles in combat, like dealing damage, supporting, or healing.
Plus, they can get buffs from your teammates and work alongside your main character’s abilities. Even the Trailblazer gets in on the action with a new Ice-element Remembrance form, complete with a cute pink-furred flying companion to help out.
