New Stars Align: Yunli and Jiaoqiu
The spotlight of Version 2.4 shines brightly on two new 5-star characters: the enigmatic Yunli and the spirited Jiaoqiu. Yunli, a mysterious figure shrouded in intrigue, is rumored to wield elements of ice and quantum.
Her elegant appearance and powerful abilities have already captured the hearts of many fans. Jiaoqiu, on the other hand, is a more cheerful and outgoing character, whose fiery personality and explosive attacks promise to be a force to be reckoned with.
Players will have the opportunity to add these powerful individuals to their roster, with Yunli taking center stage in the first phase alongside the returning fan-favorite, Huohuo. The dynamic between these three characters is expected to be a highlight of the update, offering players a variety of team composition options.
March 7th’s Path to Power
A thrilling addition to the update is the unlockable Hunt Path for the beloved character, March 7th. This new path will significantly enhance her combat capabilities, offering players a fresh approach to team composition and strategy.
By investing resources into the Hunt Path, players can unlock powerful new abilities and constellations, transforming March 7th into a formidable force on the battlefield.
This feature not only adds depth to character progression but also provides an incentive for players to continue engaging with the game after reaching endgame content. The Hunt Path system offers a rewarding long-term goal for dedicated fans.
