Lahai-Roi: A Frozen Scientific Frontier
Welcome to humanity’s last bastion of advanced research—Lahai-Roi, a snowbound region sealed by recurring Void Storms and packed with cutting-edge technology. At its heart sits Startorch Academy, a multinational Resonator research facility operated by the Spacetrek Collective, housing everything from Exo Genesis Labs to Tactical Proving Grounds.
According to the official announcement, this region represents a narrative turning point where Rover’s journey shifts from “putting out local fires” to unpacking Fractsidus’ massive, long-running conspiracy. The academy may hold crucial pieces of Rover’s erased memories, with lore hints suggesting they were once a standout student there.

Meet The New Resonators: Lynae & Mornye
Lynae (5-Star Spectro/Pistol) debuts in Phase 1 as a sub-DPS specialist wielding the Spectrum Blaster signature weapon. She joins returning favorites Cartethyia and Ciaccona, creating powerful synergy for Spectro-focused teams.
Mornye (5-Star Fusion/Broadblade) arrives in Phase 2 (January 15) as a support-oriented professor from Startorch Academy. Her signature Starfield Calibrator weapon drops alongside rerun banners for Augusta and Iuno.
Both characters were showcased with unique gameplay mechanics tied to the new “Off-Tune” battle system, where depleting enemy Tune bars triggers the Mistune state—granting team buffs while debuffing opponents.
Expedition Motorbike: Speed Through The Snowstorm
The game-changing Expedition Motorbike lets you traverse Lahai-Roi’s vast landscapes at breakneck speed. This utility includes environmental interactions like ramps and drifting mechanics, transforming exploration into an adrenaline-pumping experience. Completing challenges earns Modding EXP to upgrade your ride’s performance.
