We actually designed Sylphie during our Unity version, but changed engines before implementing her. She is our first character that we haven't shown publicly before. Here's a look at some of her concept art!

Here's a bit of a repost, but we wanted to showcase the full animation for Dhalia's Break Trigger: Fear The Ripper. Dhalia and her ghost perform a two-part attack, ending in a huge swing from Dhalia's cleaver.

Dhalia also has a new Break Trigger: Briar Rose.

Dhalia fires two shots and depending on your input, you can cause the second shot to explode either on contact or after a set amount of time passes.

For the combo enthusiasts, we hope you'll have fun in the lab and discover all kinds of routes using Keep Myself Alive (even if they're flashy, but not super practical)!

During Keep Myself Alive, Achealis also gains access to one additional Break Trigger: Achillea Trailblazer. Achealis unleashes a devastating attack and immediately exits her Install state upon completion.

During KMA, all of Achealis' Special Attacks will be enhanced. In addition, she can cancel Specials into each other. Once her KMA timer runs out, she will power down and be left defenseless for a brief moment.

Keep Myself Alive

Achealis' second Break Trigger (Super). Unleashing the power from her seals, Achealis enters an Install state for a limited time, granting her significant power to her Special Attacks.

Soul Pierce Beta

Achealis gained a few new moves. Soul Pierce Beta is a grounded projectile that accelerates over time. Achealis can fire two of them in succession, or follow up with her normal Soul Pierce projectile.
