You can get to know each of the heroes better and try out their skills in battle yourself through limited-time events. "Character Presentation", the completion of which will bring small prizes in the amount of 20 star jades and several upgrade materials.

Kastoria

A mysterious girl with unusual abilities met players in the introductory missions of the main plot of Amphoraeus. A resident of the long-destroyed polis of Aidonia, she came to Ochema to serve Thanatos, and later ed demigoddess Aglaya and other Zlatiuses to find the Flame Core of the missing Titan of Death. In addition to performing the main duties of a priestess, the girl carries out various assignments of a seamstress, playing the role of an executioner in especially important matters.

In battle, Kastoria adheres to the Path of Memory and can summon a giant dragon to the battlefield, which, like its "mistress", deals explosive quantum damage. The girl's skills are quite unusual: damage, buffs, and even the launch of a superpower depend on the amount of HP absorbed from allies and the health level of the heroine herself.

Anaxa

Anaxa is an equally mysterious young man who has not yet played an active role in the main storyline of Eternal Land. The silent scholar prefers to stay away from the bustle and active actions of the Zlatius, and also treats the prophecy and its fulfillment with skepticism. Despite this, he will have an important role to play in Aglaia's plan and find the missing Flame Core of the deceased Titan of Reason, Kerkes.

The Sage promises to be an extremely strong character of the Path of Erudition: his skills are aimed at increasing the damage of allies following the same Path as him, and also focus on mass weakening of enemies. Another unique ability of Anaxa will be the imposition of all types of vulnerabilities through any of her attacks.

Gameplay of new characters

Kastoria Animations (Memory: Quantum):

Anax's Animations (Erudition: Wind):

Light cones in banners and for events

The ranks of light cones will be replenished with two legendary weapon "cards" and one epic, which will be given for participating in one of the main events of the patch.

Let the farewell be beautiful

• Path: Memory
• HP: 58-1 270
• ATK 24-529
• DEF 18-396

It is a signature weapon of Kastoria (Memory: Quantum). It offers a positive bonus that primarily increases the HP indicator by 30-60%. When the host character or their memory spirit loses HP, the host gets the "Death Flower" status, which allows them to ignore 30-50% of the target's defense when dealing damage. The named status lasts for 2 turns.

When the Spirit of Memory leaves the battlefield, the character's action is advanced by 12-24% - this effect can only trigger once, and the number of times it can trigger is reset when the character uses a super ability.

Life thrown into flames

• Path: Erudite
• HP 43-953
• ATK 26-582
• DEF 24-529

It is the signature weapon of Anaxa (Erudition: Wind). It offers a positive bonus that primarily restores 10 energy of the owner at the beginning of his turn. If the enemy target has a vulnerability imposed by the character-wearer, then the damage dealt to him increases by 60-100%.

When an enemy is attacked by the owner, their defense is decreased by 12-24% for 2 turns - this effect cannot be stacked with similar types of effects.

Business on a cosmic scale

• Path: Erudite
• HP 43-953
• ATK 21-476
• DEF 15-330

Obtainable for participating in the Star Rail WORLD event. Increases attack power by 8-16%. For each type of vulnerability the enemy target has (max 7), damage dealt to owners increases by 4-8%.

Continuation of the story of Amphoreus

The main plot of the planet is still far from complete: the missions that will appear in the version will continue the story of the Zlatius and the prophecy hanging over the "Eternal Land". New quests from the third chapter "Flowers among the quiet valleys" will be dedicated to Kastoria and Anaxa, and their involvement in Aglaia's plan. Both Golden Descendants will begin searching for their destined Flame Cores and will walk the path to becoming demigods.

In addition to searching for the missing Titans and learning their history, you will get to know the main characters of the quests better: the backstory of Kastoria and the source of its unusual ability, as well as the reasons for Anaxa's skepticism, his vision of the impending catastrophe and his own plans to save the planet.

Expansion of the territories of Amphoreus

The list of locations available for exploration will be expanded by two territories, dedicated mainly to the Titan Thanatos. Due to the fact that the Temple of Kerkes is already presented in the game Through the muttering thickets of the Grove of Muses, some of the missions dedicated to Anaxa can take place there. At the same time, the story from the perspective of Kastoria will require a special area associated with the missing Titan of Death - it will become The Dragon City of Styxia.

The unification of the stories of the two Zlatiuses, in turn, will occur in Chamber of the Demigods: Dawn Peak.

It is important to note that, in addition to completing quests, many other activities will open up in the locations:

• search and discovery chests;
• decision puzzles and riddles;
• сбор nymphs of creation.

Adding Adventure Missions

In addition to the Exploration missions, the new locations of the Eternal Land will feature a number of adventure missions and hidden quests that involve special interaction with the environment and NPCs. Some of them will tell more about the Titans, Zlatius and other outstanding personalities of the opened territories, while others will be dedicated exclusively to the history of places for general exploration.

In a separate article we looked at all main and side quests of Amphoreus.

Fighting a new boss in Styxia

The main enemy of the third chapter will be Soul Ferryman, Remains of the Fallen Dragon, PolydeuxiaThe enemy will have vulnerabilities to Electric, Quantum, and Imaginary damage types and, as usual, will be an ideal target for unleashing the power of the Death Servant of Kastoria.
