Navigating the perilous volcano will be easier with the addition of two new characters. Varessa, a five-star Electro Catalyst user, delivers devastating Electro damage, while Iansan, a four-star Electro Polearm wielder and one of Natlan's six heroes, boosts attack damage and heals allies.

Version 5.5 also includes a new seasonal event, "Tournament of Glory in Bloom," along with updated Event Wishes and more. Get ready to return to Natlan and experience the intensity of "Day of the Flame's Return"!
