The action, in turn, will unfold in new locations: “Reef of the Dream Stream”, “Selection for the Feast of Delight”, “Grand Theater of Penaconia”.

Who put me a minus?
The first half is really very good with characters and cones. The second one is of course quite weak. But again, if in the first half it’s the 4* characters and cones that become cute, then in the second half it’s the legendary characters. Apparently, it was done this way on purpose, because, as I see, Zaryanka is not particularly eager to knock out, but Topaz, ideally, needs both a sign and the first eidolon, which is expensive and may not justify the desire
Robin is the first buffer for bonus players, it’s worth spinning if there’s a crowd of bonus players. Topaz, even without e1, is ideal for veritas. so it’s more like who is maining which packs.
Skip to Firefly, not a single character interests me, but I already have Fuska
In general, all this was expected, the game keeps its level. The only thing is that I didn’t see anything about the new mode with a fat boss, which should complement the mirror-fiction line - it seemed like there was information flashing that it was about to be there. Okay, let's see how it goes.
Will be released in 2.3
It will be added in 2.3.
