Node Two:

Additional Buffs for Apocalyptic Shadow: Cutting Mistral:

Pure Fiction: Narrative Analysis (June 9th – July 21st, 2025)

Prepare for another engaging round of Pure Fiction with the “Narrative Analysis” phase! This mode focuses on defeating waves of enemies and building up the “Resound” mechanic to unleash powerful bursts of damage.

Grit Effect:

After an enemy target is defeated by any unit, all allies gain 1 stack of “Resound.”

Concordant Truce:

Surging Grit: When entering Surging Grit, consume all “Resound.” Each stack of “Resound” deals 1 instance of a set amount of DMG to a random enemy target. During Surging Grit, increases enemy targets’ DMG taken by 50%. When they’re defeated by any unit, all allies additionally gain 1 stack of “Resound.” When “Resound” stacks up to 10 or higher, consumes all “Resound” stacks and deals 1 instance of a set amount of DMG to a random enemy target per stack.

Equippable Buffs (During Surging Grit):

• All allies’ SPD increases by 40%. When all “Resound” is consumed in an attack, recover 1 Skill Point.

Grit Mechanics:

• Universality: After allies use Skill to attack enemy targets, every enemy target hit additionally accumulates 3 Grit Value for allies.
• Paradox: All allies can also reduce Toughness when attacking enemies that don’t have the corresponding Weakness Type, with the effect equivalent to 50% of the original Toughness Reduction value. This cannot stack with other Toughness Reduction effects that also ignore Weakness Type. During Surging Grit, the Break DMG received by enemy targets increases by 30%.
• After allies attack enemy targets, every enemy target that becomes Weakness Broken additionally accumulates 3 Grit Value for allies.
• After consuming “Resound” to deal DMG, increases all allies’ DMG dealt by 60% for 1 turn.
