🆕 Meet the New Characters

🔶 Zani – Spectro DPS Specialist

Zani is all about explosive close-range combat. With her Spectro Frazzle Effect and gauntlet-based moves, she becomes a powerhouse when activating Resonance Liberation. Her synergy with other Spectro Frazzle units, especially Phoebe, makes her a top-tier pick for those looking to dominate with style and impact.

 

🌀 Ciaccona – Aero Sub-DPS + Support Queen

Ciaccona wields pistols and brings a breezy new mechanic—Aero Erosion. Her gameplay focuses on:

• Applying Aero Erosion with her skills
• Doubling Aero Erosion damage with her Outro Skill
• Pulling enemies together for easy AoE plays using her Forte Circuit

She’s expected to be a dream teammate for Cartethiya in v2.4 Aero teams.
