For the Sun Is Set to Die

1. New Story

Trailblaze Mission “Amphoreus — For the Sun is Set to Die”

I’d like to share a story about a group of nymphs pursuing the early morning sun. It’s called “The Hymn of New Era…” As they emerged from their origin and ascended to their throne, they wandered through the flowerbeds in the land of peace, but ultimately succumbed at the break of dawn…

Availability: Permanently available after the Version 3.4 update

Requirement: Complete Trailblaze Mission “Amphoreus — Dawn, Shine at the World’s End”

You can preview Amphoreus Trailblaze Missions beforehand using the “Finality’s Vision: Preview of Trailblaze” function.

Trailblaze Continuance “Penacony — Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail”

A powerful, magical cup known as the Holy Grail, capable of fulfilling any desire, has arrived on a world called Dream-Chase. Prepare for the Holy Grail War to commence in the land of Penacony…

Availability: Long-term available after 2025/07/11 12:00:00 (server time)

Requirement: Trailblaze Level 21 or above

You can get a glimpse of “Trailblaze Continuance” titled “Sweet Dreams and the Holy Grail” beforehand using the Finality’s Vision feature.

Starting from July 11, 2025, at 12:00:00 (server time), version 3.4 will conclude. At this point, Trailblazers will have the opportunity to unveil Travel Log and join in the Trailblaze Continuance, gaining access to Finality’s Vision.

It is suggested that pioneers explore this material following the completion of the “Penacony — Stranger in a Strange Land” mission and the continuation of the Trailblaze series titled “Battles Without Ninja and Humanity.

2. New Characters

5-Star Character Phainon (Destruction: Physical)

Phainon is a DPS character who has the ability to morph into something unknown, boasting several potent skills. In this form, he establishes a Territory that converts his teammates into Departed beings and inflicts Physical Weakness on all opponents. While in this state, Phainon receives boosts and becomes resistant to Crowd Control restrictions and fatal damage. During exploration, Phainon expands the limit for Technique Points, and his Technique can swiftly vanquish numerous enemy targets.

5-Star Character Saber (Destruction: Wind)

Character Saber possesses the ability to inflict significant damage on all opponents with her ultimate move. She has unique “Core Resonance” points that, when specific requirements are fulfilled, enable her to act instantaneously. By using her skill, she can deplete these “Core Resonance” points and completely restore her energy levels.

5-Star Character Archer (The Hunt: Quantum)

Archer is a character who specializes in dealing damage (DPS) and has the ability to utilize his skill multiple times during the same turn. Once a fellow team member attacks an opponent, Archer expends his Charge to retaliate with a follow-up attack, simultaneously striking the enemy and regaining a Skill Point.

Since collaboration characters don’t have English voices, you can change to a different voiceover language.

● Saber voice artists (Japanese: Ayako Kawasumi; Chinese: 白杺瓒; Korean: 정유정);

● Archer voice artists (Japanese: Junichi Suwabe; Chinese: 吴磊; Korean: 임채헌).

※ Showcase of Collaboration Character Voice-Over Switch Functionality: In update 3.5, you won’t need to alter your audio language in Settings. Instead, Trailblazers can independently switch the interaction, idle, and battle voice lines for collaboration characters to the Original Fate[UBW] Audio (Japanese) by navigating to Character Details > Profile > Voice.
