New Operators
6-star Operator: SilverAsh the Reignfrost [Limited]
As a Strategist, SilverAsh the Reignfrost can support allies in the Deployment Waiting Zone. With his talent "Open Game", he adds an "Eye of the Blizzard" to the Deployment Waiting Zone and rearranges undeployed Operators. His second talent "Snow Realm Trailblazer" grants Kjerag Operators Frozen immunity, increased DEF, and HP recovery. His trait allows him to block 2 enemies while supporting allies in the Deployment Waiting Zone.
6-star Operator: Pramanix the Prerita
As a Caster, Pramanix the Prerita specializes in area control with snow-based abilities. With her talent "Unending Snows", snow falls on tiles within her attack range at intervals, dealing Arts damage to ground enemies passing through and reducing their Movement Speed. Her trait prevents her from attacking normally while greatly increasing her DEF and RES. While her skill is active, her attacks deal AoE Arts damage.
6-star Operator: Astgenne the Lightchaser
As a Caster, Astgenne the Lightchaser can link enemies together, causing them to share damage. With her talent "Data Modeling", her attack speed increases when inflicting Slow effects. Her second talent "Energy Source Analysis" applies Fragile effects to enemies within her attack range. Her trait allows her to deal Arts damage and slow targets.
5-star Operator: Snow Hunter
As a Sniper, Snow Hunter uses ammo-based attacks with increased damage. With her talent "Cloud-Rifting Shot", she can send out Rift Cloudbeast on skill activation, dealing Physical damage and inflicting Cold. Her trait causes her attacks to consume Ammo to boost ATK, and Ammo reloads while she is not attacking.
5-star Operator: Hadiya
As a Guard, Hadiya can strengthen her combat abilities by spending DP. With her talent "Child of the Wilds", she gains ATK boosts and stuns enemies when spending DP through deployment, skill activation, or Equipment Alteration. "Equipment Alteration" provides additional effects when selecting deployed Operators under certain conditions. Her trait allows DP consumption to enhance combat abilities.
