The Windblume Festival, which is a celebration of romance and passion, also features three mini-games that support both single-player and collaborative modes. These new games are Bullseye Balloons, Floral Freefall and Ballads of Breeze.
There are four difficulty limits for each game, and players earn rewards and festive tour tickets for participation. These tickets can be exchanged in the Event Shop for Talent Level-Up Materials and two new exclusive items – the Windblume Festival Commemorative Balloon and the Windsong Lyre.The Peculiar Wonderland will also be available, offering a range of more challenging challenges facing players in three random challenge scenarios. By completing this activity, players will receive Peculiar Collab Coupons that can be exchanged for Weapon Ascension Materials and a brand new 4-star bow, the Windblume Ode.
There will also be a new 4-star playable character named Rosaria ‘Thorny Benevolence’. Rosaria is a sister of the Church of Favonius that players have encountered during their adventures with Albedo in Dragonspine. With a Cryo-vision, Rosaria is a powerful wheelwright with an elementary skill that enables her to immediately move behind her enemy and chop them to deal with Cryo damage. Her Elemental Burst allows her to attack with a mighty slant, causing great Cryo damage and summoning an icy lance that inflicts continuous Cryo damage to nearby enemies. “Finally, this new update raises the original resin limit from 120 to 160, and will allow travelers to keep up to five condensed resins in their inventory. Travelers will also have the option of lowering their world level to ‘better meet their needs in single and collaborative mode’.
