Hyacinth
The healer from the Twilight Court appeared in the story missions of the Exploration several updates ago - the girl actively helped the victims who were not lucky enough to escape the onset of the black current in time. The servant of Aquila is already aware of her purpose and is preparing to soon take the path of the demigoddess of the Sky.
Hyacinna's main specialization is mass healing of the squad and increasing the total amount of HP. In addition to inflicting wind damage, the girl uses various abilities, alone or together with the spirit of memory, restoring lost health points to allies.
Number
The first encounter with the dexterous cat thief was during the Pathfinder's dangerous journey to the ruined city of Styxia. The girl, who has long since become a demigoddess of Cunning, despite her affiliation with the Zlatius, prefers to stay away from the prophecy and the fight for the flame cores.
Following the Path of Nothingness, Cipher specializes in applying various debuffs that reduce the defense and damage of opponents. In combat, the girl also deals quantum damage with a skill, superpower, and bonus attacks activated by allies' strikes.

However, a simple visit to the sanctuary will turn into a real test for the Flame Chasers expedition: the Titan will awaken to protect the sky and the sanctuary from invasion.
In parallel, the story of the theft of the last flame core will develop. The heart of the titan Kephal is kept at the Dawn Peak and is strictly guarded by the Senate.
