Nayuta

Banner: Oct 30 – Nov 20

Nayuta is the frontliner of the Pioneer Squad – a wandering monk-type Supporter who enhances team damage and keeps allies alive through HP absorption. She brings both offensive and defensive utility, making her a flexible unit for nearly any team.

Nayuta’s Kit

Nayuta’s kit revolves around boosting Attack, healing through Memory Absorption, and delivering impactful multi-target Burst damage. 

• Skill 1 – Hypocrisy (Passive) – Gives a temporary “can’t die” shield, boosts team Core DMG and ATK, and deals extra final damage to stage targets. Survival + team damage in long/boss fights.
• Skill 2 – Impermanence (Passive) – Impermanence Her Enlightenment Meter grows every 3s, giving permanent buffs that can’t be removed.The longer the battle, the stronger she gets.

Liberalio

Banner: Nov 6 – Nov 7 

Liberalio serves as the Queen’s elite “child,” and her skill effects change depending on the enemy she’s targeting. This adaptive mechanic allows her to shift damage output based on enemy type or health, giving her flexibility as a DPS.

Liberalio Overview

• Class: Attacker
• Weapon: Calm Horizon (HR)
• Code: Wind
• Manufacturer: Pilgrim 

Liberalio’s Kit

Her entire kit revolves around hitting Full Charge shots, building power as the fight continues, and entering different “modes” depending on who she shoots. 

• Skill 1: Calm Depths – This skill is all about self stacking damage and unlocking Liberalio’s true destructive potential. Whenever a full burst begins, Liberalio instantly gains a massive ATK increase that lasts a short duration.
• Skill 2: Strange Currents – This skill gives Liberalio two different “modes” and which one you stay in dramatically affects her damage flow. From the moment the battle starts, Liberalio is also completely immune to any effects that increase or decrease Charge Speed. Nothing can slow her charge, and nothing can speed it up. Her rhythm is fixed and reliable at all times.
• Burst Skill: Submerged World – Liberalio’s Burst turns her into a lethal executioner. When activated, she boosts her executioner. When activated, she boosts her attack damage for a short duration and fires a huge strike that deals heavy damage to all enemies.  

Recommended Teams

Following are the best team comps for Liberalio, 

• Recommended Team 1 for Liberalio (Pilgrim Damage core) – Liter, Dorothy, Liberalio, Nayuta, Rapuze; / Blanc (sustain)
• Recommended Team 2 for Nayuta (Burst sustain) – Novel / Liter, Liberalio, Dorothy, Scarlet / Modernia, Dolla / Rapunzel 

Chime

Chime is the “brains” of the Crown faction-small, loud, and surprisingly strategic. Unlike the other two, Chime is completely free, and every Commander can unlock her just by playing the event. You can obtain Chime freely by Goddess Fall event and 14 day Login.

Her kit focuses almost entirely on buffing a chosen ally boosting their ATK significantly rather than dealing damage herself. She is a pure support unit tailored to boost your main DPS. 

• Chief Aide – This skill activates automatically at the start of battle for Chime, no conditions  required. Chime instantly boosts her King’s ATK, and this buff stays active continuously. 

Best Teammates for Chime

• Team 1  (F2P friendly) – Rapi, Chime, Helm / Pepper, Privaty, Snow White / Modernia 
• Team 2  (Single-Carry Damage) – Liter, Chime, Scarlet / Snow White, Dolla, Rapunzel

How it works,

• Hire units to boost production or send on Dispatch Missions
• Use Daily bonus chances to double rewards.
• High level facilities = faster rebuilding + better resources

This minigame showers you with mats if optimized-don’t ignore it.
