Dear Navigators:
This month's version update will continue to adopt the [zero-down time maintenance] mode.
During maintenance, you can still log into the game normally and participate in matches, but the servers may experience brief fluctuations. We appreciate your understanding.
After maintenance ends, the system will prompt you to [Update the Game]. Please follow the instructions to update the client to the latest version. After updating, you can log back in to experience the brand new content.
If you are in the middle of a match when maintenance ends, you will receive an [Update Prompt] after the match concludes. Your gaming experience will not be affected.
If you exit the game before maintenance ends and click [Update] to re-enter after maintenance, you may be unable to reconnect to your previous match. We recommend planning your playtime carefully to avoid impacting your match experience.
The maintenance duration may be adjusted based on actual circumstances. If an extension is needed, we will notify you in advance. Thank you for your understanding.

▽ Update Content
Character Introduction: As a Duelist from Urbino, Cielle excels at close-range frontal assaults. She can charge at the forefront of her team, using her shield for protection to advance through hazardous zones and force defenders to retreat. When confronting overextended enemies, she can deliver devastating blows by combining her dash with shotgun fire. In stalemate situations, her enhanced ultimate skill allows her to tear through enemy lines like a sharp blade. To maximize her impact, players must fluidly switch between shield and firearms, plan their action routes carefully, and seize the perfect moment to strike.
Role: Duelist
Active Skill: Mobile Shield
Deploys an energy shield that blocks DMG. While the shield is active, you can charge forward. When the shield takes DMG, it restores your armor. When the shield is holstered, it gradually regenerates.
Passive Skill: Auto Chamber
After briefly holstering your weapon, it automatically reloads. Additionally, immediately after using a charge or manually detonating your shield, you can switch to your weapon quickly.
Ultimate Skill: Absolute Defense
Reinforces and refreshes the energy shield, increasing shield HP, reducing charge cooldown, and enhancing charge effects.
Tactical Skill: Graviton Bind
Throw a destructible gravity orb that pulls enemies to its center, deals DMG on landing, and inflicts extra DMG to enemy summons.、
[Festive Map Skins]
The Spring Blessings is approaching, and we've prepared a special festive surprise for the battlefield! After this update, two maps—[Area 88] and [Snowveil District]—will temporarily receive Spring Blessings-themed decorations. We hope Navigators enjoy the festive atmosphere even in the heat of battle!
The newly upgraded [Crystal Clash] mode is officially here! This upgrade not only adjusts the gameplay but also introduces exciting new mechanics, offering Navigators a richer and more dynamic mining experience!
[Crystal Clash] evolves the former 7v7 [Crystal Scramble] into a three-way 5v5v5 contest, creating a more unpredictable combat environment.
A brand new crystal overload mechanic has been added, filling the mining process with surprises and unpredictability—a single mining attempt could yield a massive amount of resources!
[Crystal Clash] will take place on the freshly upgraded "Dirac Mine" map, a Bablo Crystal extraction site located on the border between untamed wilderness and the city. As competition over crystal resources intensifies, three factions once again stand in confrontation, and a fierce battle for resources is about to erupt!
Please note that achievements for the Crystal Scramble mode cannot currently be progressed through Crystal Clash. Compatibility for earning Crystal Scramble achievements in Crystal Clash will be implemented in a future version.
Random Event Gameplay
At the start of each round, special events may randomly occur, altering certain game rules for that round and providing Navigators with a unique match experience.
