Two Phases, Two Big Names

Version 2.3 will feature two limited-time character banners, split into two phases—each headlined by a powerful new 5-star Resonator.

Phase 1 Banners (April 29 Onwards)

The first half of the update will feature Zani, one of the most anticipated Resonators since the game's early days.
Headliner:

Zani (5★, Spectro, Gauntlets)

4-Star Rate-Ups:

Taoqi (Havoc, Broadblade)
Yuanwu (Electro, Gauntlets)
Lumi (Electro, Broadblade)

Zani is arguably the most hyped character of this patch, especially for players who followed the Rinascita content. If you’re eyeing her, this is your shot.

Phase 2 Banners (Mid-May)

The second phase will spotlight Ciaccona, bringing her elegant, pistol-wielding style to the field.
Headliner:

Ciaccona (5★, Aero, Pistols)

4-Star Rate-Ups:

Yangyang (Aero, Sword)
Mortefi (Fusion, Pistols)

Ciaccona brings a fresh flavor to the game with her dual pistols and Aero abilities. Her companion story will also drop during this phase, making her banner feel even more immersive.
