More details will be revealed soon. Stay tuned!
Dear Commanders,
To provide a better gaming experience, we have decided to make balance adjustments to certain characters following the July 30 update. The changes are as follows:
"Accused, I will enumerate each and every sin you have committed."
▌Star Energy Core: Activated
▌Access Permission: Unlocked
📜「Star Operator File」Viper - Simona
The presiding judge of Red River City, it's said that noble blood of the former kingdom flows in her veins.
She is the most elegant noble in this place, as well as the cruelest judge. Thanks to her strong and decisive methods, she brought unprecedented development to this forgotten land of exile. And she has also undoubtedly become the core figure of Red River City.
Faction: United Cities
Character Launch Date: 2026/7/30
Simona with maxed talents unlocks an achievement reward and a brand‑new dynamic character illustration.
Simona at max talent can claim extra rewards via in‑game mail (including an avatar frame, avatar, profile background, character illustration, and Star Energy Burst close‑up).
Note: The above events have no time limit. Similar welfare events for upcoming UP characters will also be launched periodically according to production capacity. Stay tuned!
欢迎各位团长踊跃参与!
