Phase 1 is the live client
Qingxiao is a 5-star Aero Sword carry built around Tune Strain. Denia returns as the Fusion Rectifier who makes that core honest. Rate-up 4-stars on this half are Yangyang, Baizhi, and Sanhua — all still useful, none of them a reason to spend every Astrite if you already own them.
- Qingxiao signature: Glint of Clouds
- Denia signature rerun: Forged Dwarf Star
- Phase 1 closes September 10, 2026 at 9:59 a.m. server time
Phase 2 — Jingran on September 10
Jingran is a 5-star Fusion Broadblade carry with a Heavy Attack and shield-leaning kit. EchoPatch will not invent a full rotation from leaks. His hub page is live as a stub: kit confirmed, build updates on release.
- Jingran signature: Thousandfold Deliverance
- Reruns: Hiyuki (Glacio Sword) and Mornye (Fusion Broadblade support)
- 4-star rate-up expected: Mortefi, Aalto, Yuanwu
Ren Realm and the story beat
The version opens more of Ren Realm / Xuanfang. Spend the first week on story chests and Union Level before you dump every Waveplate into a new Tacet Field. Qingxiao’s echo set can wait one day if you are still unlocking weekly bosses.
