New characters

The list of available agents after the launch of patch 2.0 will include new legendary representatives of the Waifei Peninsula. Like all characters, the emerging heroines will have unique mechanics and a unique playstyle.

Yixuan

Yixuan is the current teacher of the Yunkui Mountain School. The girl possesses secret knowledge, which she continues to keep and does not spread outside her own school due to the apparent danger. The mayor of New Eridu hired the girl to help the Proxy with the investigation of the Victim's core, while sharing that she is not inferior in strength to the "Cave Hunters".

Ju Fufu

Ju Fufu is a tyrant girl with distinct tiger features. She is Yixuan's student and sometimes explores the caverns that appear on Weifei Island. She is friendly in communication and welcoming to strangers. When she first met Proxy in the cavern, she told him about the "school of the mountains" and her mentor.

Future characters of the second season

In addition to the mentor and the Tyren Tiger, eight new faces will appear in future stories on the Waifei Peninsula. Some of them will be playable, while others will play a significant role as NPCs.

Gameplay of new characters

Based on the launch of the beta test, details of the gameplay of future characters that can be encountered in the agent banners in the new version became known.

Ju Fufu (Intimidation, Fire) s his allies with attacks "from the pocket" and fills the stun gauge on the enemy well, thanks to his stunner specialization. During the battle, he uses his tiger companion to carry out attacks, thus accumulating levels of aftershock, which he then spends to provide fire to the active agent.

Miyabi (Anomaly, Frost). The Shifu of Mount Yunkui School is capable of inflicting pure damage, which ignores enemy defense. Also, the heroine uses energy for a special enhanced skill instead of energy RageYixuan has a diverse gameplay, she has a wide range of skills with different animations and accumulates attribute anomaly well during battle.

Seven amplifiers

Along with the release of new agents, banners of their signature amplifiers of legendary rarity will be launched. In addition, the list of equipment will be replenished with A-ranked copies and one B-tier weapon for heroes of the new specialization:

• Cage of the Sky Bird (5⭐, Destruction) - Increases Crit. Chance and Max HP, and buffs Ethereal and Pure Damage after using enhanced special attacks.
• Receptacle of Furchaniyas (5⭐, Intimidation) - Grants a large boost to attack power and increases the stun dealt by EX skills, ults, and chain attacks. After using a chain attack or ult, spreads a damage buff to the team.
• Trigram thunder (4⭐, Defense) - Permanently increases attack power and damage dealt by skills and ultimates. If allies receive damage or are healed, the owner of the equipment restores energy.
• Puzzle ball (4⭐ weapon, Destruction) - increases attack power, after using the skill gives an increase to critical damage. If the owner's health is below 50%, the skill deals more damage.
• Movie projector (4⭐, Defense) - Increases the impulse value by a percentage. If the ally's health is above half, he takes less damage and accumulates Infection more slowly.
• Radio Walk (4⭐, Destruction) - will be a reward for BP. Increases maximum HP, after the ult and chain attack gives an increase to pure strength.
• Ash: Cobalt (3⭐, Destruction) - Increases health. When entering the field, temporarily increases attack power.

New Drive Disks

Version 2.0 will add two new sets of drive discs that synergize well with the outgoing agents.

Tales of Yunkui:

• 2 parts: Health +10%.
• 4 pieces: After using a strengthened special skill, chain attack or super ability, the crit chance increases by 4%. The effect stacks 3 times, lasts for 15 seconds, and repeated casts refresh the duration. At three levels of the effect, the net power increases by 10%.

Lord of the Mountain:

• 2 parts: Stun dealt increased by 6%.
• 4 parts: If the owner is a Fear hero and uses an enhanced special attack and chain attack, all allies' crit damage is increased by 15%. If the owner's crit chance is greater than or equal to 50%, then the squad ' crit damage is increased by another 15%. Lasts 15 seconds, repeated launches refresh the duration. The ive effect does not stack - it is pointless to put it on two Fear heroes in one squad.

New additions to the ranks of the Banbu

The Yunkui Belion Faction Banbu is an S-rank rarity. Like other faction helper bunnies, the new companion can be spun in the Excellent Partner banner. During battle, the Banbu plays with a stone ball and then throws it at enemies.

The exit of the Weifei Peninsula

The "Talk to the Developers" video revealed some details about the new future location. The Waifei Peninsula is part of the Throne District, indicating its proximity to the Lemnos Cave. A new region has formed in place of the first observation points for the rift's activity. The main location is the Faylum Plateau, which has a light and voluminous design of a coastal town in a traditional Chinese style.

This territory is rich in deposits of lumiceramit, which is resistant to the action of ether inside the caverns. Against the background of the abundance of a resource valuable for all of New Eridu, a conflict with the TOPs arises. After the events in version 1.7, the Proxies, together with Yixuan, will go to a new region, where they will manage the temple under her command. The territory of the peninsula, in turn, will be a single corridor location without division into districts and streets.

Suibian Temple

After leaving the video rental on Sixth Street, the protagonists will stay at Suibian Temple for the duration of their martial arts training. The mechanics of managing the "business" will be partially transferred and supplemented with new and varied activities: increasing the Temple level, crafting furniture, Banbu missions for resources, and daily fortune telling.

Cosmopolis

Near the residential area is the massive Lemnos Cavern, which is perfect for honing your combat skills. After completing their training in the Temple, future patches will allow Weisz and Belle to venture into dangerous areas on their own and explore the ruins of the city. Playable agents are currently participating in the exploration.

New tasks

The patch promises to release a number of new quest chains and completely rework the HDD mode, so you can count on many combat orders and research side quests. Most of the time will be devoted to the story of the problems of the Waifei Peninsula and its inhabitants.

Main Line Orders

Season 2 of "The Veil of Darkness Blinds the Sight" begins with an introduction to the customs of a new region. A remote peninsula that mines and sells Lumiceramite, it could be called the "Land of Bliss" if it weren't for the ongoing strife within the territory. The TOPs' monopoly over resources has caused the Faylum Plateau to flourish, but the sole ownership of the materials threatens to cause problems in the future.

Which factions will take part in the plot?

Judging by the teaser for the second season and announcements from the developers in the videos about future versions, Proxy expects close cooperation with at least three factions of agents:

• Yunkui Mountain School. Their existence was first revealed in the "Frontline Clearance" patch 1.6, which involved searching for Gepetto in the Zero Cave. There, the Proxies met Ju Fufu and learned bits of information about Yixuan. Preliminary, the Tyran Panda belongs to the same faction.
• Angels of Obsession. The group of virtual idols was revealed before the game's release, but it later turned out that their release was postponed for another year, until the next story arc. The "Talk with the Developers" video touched on the topic of Chinatsu, Joel, and Sariel's release in the 2.X update cycle.
• Obol Squad. The combat robot Sid and another member of the military, Orpheus, immediately grabbed attention in the teaser for Season 2. We can expect the New Eridu Military faction to be replenished in early patches.

Outfits for proxies and other agents

Insider's information partially confirmed Soul about the release of skins for four agents: the trailer for the plot showed new outfits for Weisz and Belle in the style of the region. Immediately with the release of the closed beta test, and later on the official stream, the developers presented the second outfit for Yixuan.

Weisz's suit

As a student at the Yunkui Mountain School, Weise will don the traditional attire of the Weifei Peninsula. The uniform, in a subdued color palette, combines a dark, predominantly gray, top with light-colored dress pants. It is accented by bright rope patterns and an orange shirt, echoing the faction's main color.

Belle costume

Together with her brother, Belle will change her usual everyday look to a more traditional option. The new outfit is made mainly in bright yellow tones, but under the loose dress you can see dark shorts and a shirt with wide sleeves. An interesting addition will be a bright red earring in the same color as the ties on the chest.

Yixuan costume

Yixuan-shifu will be released immediately with an additional outfit option: a more classic black suit with white frills and a blue flower. You can replenish your wardrobe for donation currency at the standard price.

The remaining innovations will affect not only the version, but also all subsequent patches:

• In addition to the events, a letter with 1600 polychromes will be sent for the anniversary. Thus, 30 event spins are expected as a reward for the patch. A separate gift for the anniversary is a selector of an S-rank agent and an amplifier of standard rarity.

• The updated daily quests will include events that reference the culture of the region. Instead of managing the rental store, Weisz and Belle will take over management at the Suibian Temple, moving permanently to the peninsula.
• Shark Ellen Jo (Assault, Ice) awaits a buff as the first limited character. The abilities already introduced in the "Troublemaker Extermination" mode will be transferred to the classic set of fighter skills. The developers also took into the desire of some players to leave the shark in its previous form: the boost can be turned off.
• Among the temporary events, we can expect reruns of popular activities for their unusual rules, such as "Banbu vs. Ethereals" or "Labyrinths of Marseille". At the same time, there will be more "everyday" events that tell about the ordinary life of Proxies and the inhabitants of the world.
