Ver. 4.4 Patch Overview
Dec 13, 2020

 

Hello, captain! Welcome to Version 4.4 Patch Overview by Kopenych & A.E.N.! The new update “Aurelia Invicta” is coming on Global soon, so let’s check all the news out together! WARNING: All information is based on BETA 4.4.

 

 New battlesuit: Dea Anchora 

Rank: S
Valkyrie type: BIO
Damage type: Fire
Role: Damage Dealer

 

She dons the golden armor which flares up with her resolve. She etches the bonds on her heart and the stars shining above shall grant her their might.

Long ago, Durandal decided to make her body the container of the entire bubble universe. From that moment onwards, the bubble universe and Durandal became a symbiotic entity: as long as it remains intact, it will keep empowering Bianka. Durandal can summon Dea Anchora’s golden armor to strengthen herself - activate Astral Harness form to greatly enhance her DMG output! She is able to cast multi-Ultimates to deal the insane amount of damage!

 

 

 Equipment 

As all S-rank Valkyries, Dea Anchora has her unique signature equipment: weapon Starlance Prime and its PRI-Arm version Sagittarius Astra, as well as a new stigma set - Shakespeare: Adrift. We will return to them later, in the corresponding section of our review.
Signature equipment is essential for the best combat performance, however, don’t forget to check all the options with other gears if you want to find an alternative! Biggest thanks to Marisa Honkai and other Captains for the translation of this table.

 

 


 

 Special Event: Stellar Mythos 

 

A rumor began spreading through Valkyries in a silent night. A rumor that seems to touch a long-buried secret… Find out more about Dea Anchora together with Alvitr and Susannah! Play story mode Schicksal Mystery, test your skills in Challenge Mode, and exchange Crux for awesome rewards! The special reward of this event is a unique Danzai Spectramancer outfit - Orochi Cuirass

 

 

 Stellar Eternia 

 

Stellar Mythos also features a new co-op event: 3 vs 3 speedrun “Stellar Eternia” with 3 maps available! Play together with other players to face new challenges, work together as a team, use your best Valkyries, and apply special cards to trick our opponents or help your allies! Also, this mode provides a useful reward: Valkyrie Fragvyom [S] with S-Rank Valkyrie fragments of your choice: Celestial Hymn, Shadow Knight or Knight Moonbeam. Warning: the quantity of this item is limited, so choose wisely!
