6. Others

■ Enemies

In my gaming world, I’m known as the Howler with the Haunted Chest (Howling Casket), the Swift and Cunning Sableclaw Wolf Rider (Sableclaw Wolftrooper), the Eclipse Wolf Rider when the moon is veiled (Eclipse Wolftrooper), the Soul-Grabbing Supreme Commander (Soulhook Sovereign), and the Harbinger of Starry Doom (Starbane Doombringer). Each name tells a story, each battle won adds to the legend.

■ Gameplay

Refreshing cycles await for Treasures Lightward’s game modes: Apocalypse in Shadows, Pure Fiction, Forgotten Hall, and Memory of Chaos (Chaotic Memories). Check the details below for further information.

Apocalyptic Shadow — Dominated Evils

2024/08/05 04:00:00 – 2024/09/16 03:59:00 (server time)

When an adversary equipped with Unyielding Defense (Steadfast Safeguard) has its Vulnerability Removed (Weakness Broken), instantly boost the actions of all allies ahead by a full 100%, and trigger their ultimate abilities.

As a combat enthusiast, I can boost the damage that all foes take during their retaliatory attacks by 15%, and amp up the counter damage they receive by an additional 25%.

Pure Fiction — Words of Deceit

2024/08/19 04:00:00 – 2024/09/30 03:59:00 (server time)

As a gamer, I’d put it this way: When my teammates unleash their Ultimate attack, they can pile up to 6 Shatters onto the enemy. At the start of an enemy’s turn or when they are taken down, they and any adjacent foes take damage equal to the number of Shatters on them, with more Shatters causing more damage.

Memory of Chaos — The Big Sleep

2024/09/02 04:00:00 – 2024/10/14 03:59:00 (server time)

As a gamer, I’d put it like this: “Every time an ally unleashes an attack, they gain a Memory Imprint. Each Memory Imprint boosts their damage output by 8%. Up to six can be stacked. When max stacks are reached, all enemies take a hit based on a certain portion of their maximum health. At the start of each wave or cycle, these Memory Imprints are removed from all allies.”

■ Others

Once activated, the sorting method will be based on how well the relics align with the suggested Relic collection, primary stats, and secondary stats.

Pioneers can examine a character’s suggested Relic collection, rarity level, primary stat, and secondary stats on the Relics page, and use these criteria to sift through Relics. Once filtered, you can store the current filter plan, enabling easy selection of this scheme in the future for quicker sifting.

When choosing your Relics, you have the option to select “Recommended” for suggested attributes. This way, the Relics displayed will align with these recommended attributes. If the attributes of the chosen Relic match the system’s recommendations, they will be emphasized in the Relic description.

In certain story phases, you can swap out team members whenever you like. However, keep in mind that any previously applied Technique or Consumable effects won’t carry over after the change.

As a dedicated gamer immersed in the world of Trailblaze, I fine-tuned the voiceovers for my Korean missions: “Penacony – The Sound and the Fury”, “Penacony – In Our Time”, and “Penacony – Farewell, Penacony”. These adjustments aim to enhance my gaming experience by making the narrative even more captivating and immersive.

■ Characters and Enemies

The issue is resolved whereby Firefly’s Chrysalid Pyronexus Talent (from Destruction: Fire) does not continue to reduce the DMG by its full potential when she enters the “Complete Combustion” state and her health is at its maximum.

Adjusts a problem that causes Firefly’s landing point to be unusual or incorrect when she activates her special ability under specific circumstances in a particular map.

Resolves the problem that the interaction between Firefly’s (Destruction: Fire) trace “Module β: Autoreactive Armor” and the transformation of Toughness Reduction into Super Break Damage wasn’t working as intended.

Modifies a problem that causes the character Firefly to occasionally play voice lines meant for her Full Burn status, even when she’s not in Full Burn mode during combat.

Adjusts the shadow of the Male Trailblazer (Harmony: Imaginary) figure, as it is incorrectly positioned or shaped within its portrait.

Addresses an issue where, when character Blade (Wind Destruction) is armed with the Light Cone “The Unreachable Side (Destruction)” and assumes the role of Debt Collector, the DMG Boost effect of the Light Cone skill “Unfulfilled Yearning” does not operate properly under specific situations.

Addresses the problem that, following Xueyi (Quantum: Destruction)’s use of her ultimate move against the Harmonious Choir: The Great Septimus, the effective reduction in toughness appears unusually minimal.

As a gamer, I’ve noticed an issue with my favorite character Herta (Ice Erudition). In specific situations, when she equips the Light Cone “Eternal Calculus (Erudition)” and activates her Talent’s follow-up attack, there’s a possibility that she can’t activate the Light Cone ability “Boundless Thought” to boost her SPD. I believe this needs fixing for a smoother gaming experience.

Addresses an occurrence in specific scenarios where the extra Charge impact of Jade (Erudition: Quantum)’s Eidolon 1 might fail to activate as expected.

Fixes the issue where, when the character Robin (Harmony: Physical) uses her Skill, allies in the Restraint or Morbid Dream state cannot receive the buffs from her Skill.

As an avid player, I’ve noticed a hiccup that occasionally arises when characters are under Domination. During certain moments, if I attempt to use another character’s Ultimate, it might cause a glitch in the Action Order, resulting in some funky visual displays. However, rest assured that this bug doesn’t affect the true impact of the abilities themselves.

Resolves the problem that occurs when characters enter the Alien Dream state: their dialogue and movements during an attack become unnatural or irregular.

Resolves an anomaly that occurs when you engage in battle after interacting with a Stagnant Shadow in the overworld, causing character positions on the Action Order to be disorganized or incorrect.

After the fix, when characters don’t reach the maximum Merit with the “Duran, Dynasty of Running Wolves” Planar Ornament equipped, the intended 2-piece set effect of this ornament will work correctly, according to its ability description.

■ System

Fixes an issue where the Combat tab in the Tutorials is not displayed.

In Divergent Universe, a mistake has been rectified regarding the description of the impact of the Curio Shining Trapezohedron Die. Rest assured, this correction doesn’t alter the actual effect of the Curio itself.

As a gamer, I recently noticed that some of my favorite Support characters’ abilities were persisting for an unusually long time whenever I summoned them into battle using the Planar Ornament Extraction feature. To address this issue, I’m making necessary adjustments to ensure that their Techniques last only as intended when entering combat in this way.

Improves the problem that sometimes, under specific conditions, the Curio The Doctor’s Robe fails to operate when it already contains expanded 3-star Equations within the Divergent Universe.

In specific scenarios, stopping excessive conversion in Planes 1 and 2 within the Multiverse could prematurely halt the exploration process of the current Divergent Universe run.

Addresses an inconsistency between the in-battle impact of the Curio Robe of Beauty within the Divergent Universe and its written description. Once resolved, the Curio’s effects will align perfectly with those stated in its text.

As a gamer, I’ve found a solution for an odd bug that happens when engaging in battle and acquiring the Curio Fortune Glue in specific instances within the Divergent Universe. Sometimes, this unique item gets unusually destroyed after collection. Now, I can assure you, it shouldn’t disappear like that! So, I’ve worked out a fix for this problem to ensure that everyone can keep their hard-earned Curio Fortune Glues intact during gameplay.

Addresses an anomaly in which certain abilities within the Divergent Universe can uncharacteristically dispel the effects of Curio Joyous Incense excessively.

Addresses an occurrence in which, upon unfolding the Equation Molten Knight within the Divergent Realm during combat, there’s a probability of foes emerging with a time lag under specific conditions.

In specific situations, the regular operation of the Scholar of Candles’ ability may be affected, especially when a player has both extended the Equation Scholar of Candles and is in possession of the Curio Thalan Toxi-Flame. This issue can be resolved.

Resolves an issue in the Divergent Universe’s Real-Time Combat View interface, where certain effects from the Equations Repairman and Pyromaniac do not appear correctly.

Amends the problem with the description of the “An Extra Person’s Diary” blessing in the Divergent Universe, ensuring it provides an accurate portrayal. This alteration doesn’t change the real impact of the blessing itself.

Updates the inaccurate description of the Weighted Curio “Revitalization-310” within the Divergent Universe, ensuring that this correction doesn’t alter the real effect of the curio itself.

In simpler terms, when you activate Occurrences Elation I or Elation II in the Simulated Universe (during the Swarm Disaster) for the first time, then proceed to the next level, there’s a possibility that it won’t be an Adventure Domain. This issue will be addressed and ensured that every subsequent domain you enter after activating either elation will indeed be an Adventure Domain.

■ Audio

Fixes an issue where the audio effects sound abnormal when enemies use Taunt effects.

Fixes certain incorrect Japanese voice overs in Ruan Mei (Harmony: Ice)’s character voice lines.

Revises some inaccurate Japanese voiceovers in the Trailblaze Continuance’s “Herta Space Station – When the Stars of Innovation Glow,” ensuring a more authentic representation.

Adjusts some misaligned Japanese speech in the mission “Beyond the Snowy Plains” for a more accurate representation.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve taken it upon myself to rectify an issue that has been bothering me in the Japanese voiceover of the game. Specifically, I’ve found some dialogue lines for the NPC Pela during her visit to the Express that were not quite right. So, I’ve made the necessary adjustments to ensure a more authentic and immersive gaming experience for everyone enjoying this wonderful game.

Improves the issue where map visuals appear distorted following specific actions, particularly when transitioning to the Scalegorge Waterscape or Dream’s Edge maps.

Fixes the issue where some sound effects are played abnormally in certain maps.

■ Others

Fixes an abnormal depth-of-view display issue for some interfaces under certain graphical settings.

Modifies the visual presentation of mission rewards without altering the real rewards earned from those missions.
