【Updates】
u New Feature: Cryptsoul
(1) Unlocked when the Trigram function is enabled at Cirrus I or above and 1 Cryptsoul is obtained (Cryptsouls can be obtained in events from time to time.). Cryptsouls are divided into 3 Clans: Star, Moon, and Sun, which counter each other. After meeting certain conditions, deployed Cryptsouls of the same type can switch clans.
(2) Each Cryptsoul starts with 1 Active skill and 1 Random Passive skill. After a Cryptsoul is deployed, its Active skill can only be released in battles by consuming Motivation. Passive skills can be learned through [Fathom]. Up to 3 Passive skills of the same type can take effect.
(3) New item [Hone Ticket], used to increase the Cryptsoul's Enhance Level and increases the Cryptsoul's own battle attributes and team attributes.
(4) New items [Soul Lantern] and [Lethe Lantern], used to increase the Cryptsoul's Upgrade Level and increases the Cryptsoul's own battle attributes, team attributes, and the energy cap it can accumulate in battles.
(5) New item [Chime Stone], used to increase the Reverb level of an unlocked Trigram. The higher a Trigram's Reverb level, the more team attributes can be inherited after it is equipped on a Cryptsoul.
(6) A Cryptsoul has 6 Banner slots. Increasing the Cryptsoul's Upgrade level can unlock slots. Different types and clans of Cryptsouls have different limits on the type and number of Banners that can be inlaid. Only 1 kind of Banner effect from the Cryptsoul and the Trigram will take effect.
(7) Cryptsoul Fathom Skill Books are divided into 16 types. Each type of Skill Book is available in 2 qualities: Celestial and Cosmic. Skill Books of the same type but different qualities have different effects. Consuming 1 Skill Book has a chance to unlock 1 new Skill slot and learn that skill, or use the skill to replace 1 existing skill. When a skill is replaced, a certain number of Insight Pills are returned based on the quality and type of the replaced skill.
(8) New item [Insight Pill], used to increase the Cryptsoul's Fathom level. After the Fathom level is increased, the team attributes granted by the current Cryptsoul can be increased.
(9) A deployed Cryptsoul can set 10 Synced Cryptsouls. Only 1 Cryptsoul of the same type and clan can be placed. The deployed Cryptsoul can inherit 50% of the team attributes of its Synced Cryptsouls. Increasing the deployed Cryptsoul's Upgrade level can increase the number of Sync slots.
u New Gameplay: Cryptsoul Tower
(1) The Cryptsoul Tower unlocks simultaneously with the Cryptsoul function. After deploying 1 Cryptsoul, players can challenge the Cryptsoul Tower stages. Each floor of the Cryptsoul Tower consists of 1 guarding Trigram and several seals.
(2) When the deployed Cryptsoul's Might meets the requirements, it can break the seals on each layer. Breaking seals can decrease the difficulty of the enemies on that layer. If the deployed Cryptsoul has a Trigram equipped that counters the guarding Trigram on that layer, you can gain a buff when challenging stages on that layer.
