Fiend Hunt Guide — Fiery YuKwang (Water)
"Fiery" YuKwang is back in a blue form that's supposed to be water, granting buffs to the units hit with its attacks. It also has 90 DEF and MRES, mitigating most of the damage you deal outside of key turns. You'll have to prepare for these key turns if you want to clear this Hunt.
Character Guide — Scheherazade
Scheherazade, or Schera, is a Magic Water DPS who specializes in her dispels that render all buffs null. She has dispel on ALL her costumes, making her an answer to most buff mechanics in Mirror Wars.
Fiend Hunt Guide — Darkness Devourer (Fire)
The Darkness Devourer is back... but it's full of flames? I guess fire devours darkness. Anyway, this fiend is a magic damaging enemy with a fixed DMG attack and a kill attack on its conditional. You will need to weather both in order to maximize your damage, so prepare accordingly!
Character Guide — Diana

Fiend Hunt Guide — Cherry Blossom Evil Spirit
Love is in the air, and so is the spirit of the Hunt! This Fiend is a formidable foe that shreds the magic resist of your entire team, before unleashing its magic attacks. Taunting the Fiend and sacrificing our units is key to getting its guard down.

Character Guide — Anastasia
Anastasia is a Physical Fire DPS with some of the highest damage ceilings in the game. Her raw DMG makes her one of the best units in Last Night. Unfortunately, however, her smaller AoEs and lack of utility make her a middling unit in other content.
Character Guide — Elise
Elise is a Physical Fire DPS with the unique utility of having both DEF shred and MRES shred. She also has the niche of being an SP neutral DPS. Her excellent utility is definitely worth taking advantage of.
Character Guide — Sylvia
Sylvia is a Physical Water DPS who doubles as a tank with her damage mitigation abilities. She is capable of punishing attacking foes with her vicious counters. All her costumes combined makes her a formidable character on the battlefield.
Character Guide — Rubia
Rubia is a Physical Fire DPS that with all sorts of damaging skills. She does not need dupes to function, with most of her combat power being locked behind potentials. She struggles however to find content to shine in with the plethora of Fire DPS units in the game.
Fiend Hunt Guide — Parakyr Rex (Wind)
The first Fiend rerun has been revealed, and it is the Parakyr Rex, in an all-new wind coating! Just like its previous version, this fiend deals physical damage to your units, with a single fixed damage skill. Its damage isn't too threatening, but you will want to be careful not to get struck by its conditional kill effect.
This Fiend will be available to hunt on March 7, so get your torches ready!
Character Guide — Justia

Character Guide — Angelica
Angelica is a Magic Light DPS that primarily deals damage based on enemy max HP. She also functions as a bruiser, giving herself damage reduction buffs to help mitigate the damage that she takes.

Character Guide — Liatris
Liatris is a Physical Fire DPS that specializes in DoT related skills. On top of being able to deal tons of damage, she is able to do so in large AoE's, while stacking lots of chains in the process.
