Crepuscular Cloudsong Trailer – Aether Gazer

The Story of Crepuscular Cloudsong

The Admin and Ver were commissioned by the Quad to journey to Xu Heng, a Sephirah Zone that gracefully hovers in the sky, its stability owed to the technological marvel of the Cloudsong Ore engine. What appeared to be a straightforward scavenger hunt swiftly unraveled into a much larger conspiracy long brewing within the enigmatic realms of Xu Heng. As the team encounters one mishap after another in the old town of this floating metropolis, they’re left to wonder: Are prying eyes plotting from the shadows, or is there a traitor lurking amongst them?

Limited-Time Event with Various Rewards

After the latest update, players will experience new gameplay features including Anomaly Control and Perilous Chasm. In these modes, players can deploy Dispatch Modifiers to eliminate Visbanes that significantly threaten Tian Lu Traders’ routes and earn rewards for their efforts. The Tian Lu Vouchers earned in Anomaly Control can be used at the Tian Lu Firm to redeem a variety of items.

Additionally, Admins can take part in the Xu Heng Celebration. By completing any four event tasks, participants will receive the S-Grade Modifier Tenblaze – Jinwu. Scanning during the event period gives the Butterfly on Plum Blossom, an item that can be exchanged for additional goods and Drowsie-Oneiroi’s outfit, “The Nanke Dream.”

New Modifiers are Welcomed

• S-Grade Modifier: Untainted Heart – Lingguang

Lingguang serves as the Deputy of Nanjiao Isle at the prestigious Quad, where her expertise as a trained physician shines. She is the founder of Vermilion Wellness, a health establishment that operates alongside a number of other medical facilities on Nanjiao Isle. Her skill set is versatile, comprising of three distinct forms for each ability she possesses. The third form grants a protective “shield” to the entire team, increases damage dealt when health is above a certain threshold, and boosts damage when health falls below a specified level. These support capabilities allow her to adapt flexibly to the evolving conditions on the battlefield and the status of her teammates, enriching the tactical options available during combat.

• S-Grade Modifier: Tenblaze – Jinwu

Born in Xu Heng, Jinwu has been an ardent disciple of the Astral Arcanum, studying under the tutelage of her master Xihe amidst the serene peaks of Nanjiao Isle since her early years. Her weapon of choice is an imposing greatsword, capable of disassembling into ten levitating blades. Upon landing a full sequence of ordinary attacks, Jinwu garners six marks. With the unleashing of her arcane might, she executes a series of relentless strikes upon her adversaries, inflicting substantial damage, and draws upon divine energy proportional to the accumulated marks in her possession.

• S-Grade Modifier: Azure Lord – Mengzhang

Mengzhang, the Deputy of Yuyi Isle (also known as East Isle), was the final member to join the ranks of the Quad. His swordsmanship is distinguished by its dual forms; one stance embodies the attributes of wind, characterized by the ability to summon jade swords and execute movements with ethereal grace. When Mengzhang’s divine energy reaches its Maximum, he can unleash his third skill to switch to an alternate stance. In this form, his swordplay becomes markedly more aggressive, notably for its unpredictable and dynamic sword techniques.

New Ultimate Skillchains

The Ultimate Skillchain continues to be a key gameplay mechanism in Aether Gazer. This update introduces three fresh Ultimate Skillchains:

• Vermilion Sunrise: Untainted Heart – Lingguang & Tenblaze – Jinwu
• Rustling Bamboo: Azure Lord – Mengzhang & Cleansing Wind – Enlil

New Sigils

Properly allocating Sigils can significantly enhance a character’s combat capabilities. Two new Sigils will be added in the upcoming update.

• Immortal Blackbird: (3-set effects) Increases Max HP. When Mod has a Shield active, increases Crit. When the Mod grants a Shield to a teammate or to themself, increases the ATK of the Mod granted with the Shield, as well as their Normal Attack DMG. Effects from multiple Sigils do not stack.
• Primordial Sun: (3-set effects) Increases Fire DMG. Also increases Non-DoT Crit DMG when a hit is landed with a Fire attack. 
• Dragon of the Desolate Sea: (3-set effects) Increases Wind DMG. Increases Crit Rate for several seconds when a Thunder attack hits. This effect triggers only once every several seconds. Increases Non-DoT Thunder DMG when a Thunder attack hits. Increases Non-DoT Wind DMG when a Wind attack hits. 

New Functors

Accompanying the debut of new Modifiers, this update also introduces three additional functors. Equipping these functors can greatly enhance the damage efficiency of the Modifiers:

• 5-Star Functor Otherworlder – Huang (Recommended Modifier: Untainted Heart – Lingguang)
• 5-Star Functor Otherworlder – Bifang (Recommended Modifier: Tenblaze – Jinwu)
• 5-Star Functor Otherworlder – Kui (Recommended Modifier: Azure Lord – Mengzhang)
