New Boss & Enemies

1) Echo of War ("Harmonious Choir" The Great Septimus!)

Once in battle, "Harmonious Choir" The Great Septimus charges and unleashes Semichorus, which allows all of its active summons to inflict damage on a single ally.

In the second phase of battle, after charging up, The Great Septimus uses Chorus, dealing damage to all allies.
Plus, all of The Great Septimus' active summons will also deal extra damage to all allies.
During the second phase, The Great Septimus casts a Shield on themselves, decreasing the damage they take and boosting the damage they cause to all allies, while making their own Toughness impervious to damage.

In the third phase, this formidable foe becomes even stronger, unleashing defense-ignoring attacks that deal massive damage to all allies…
During battle, Trailblazers need to quickly target and break the Weaknesses of The Great Septimus and its summons.
Once all the summons' Weaknesses are broken, the Great Septimus won't be able to use its Semichorus ability, and the strength of Chorus will be significantly reduced. Breaking The Great Septimus' Weakness will also grant a shared Shield to all allies!

New Events

1) Clockie: Dreamjoy Memoir

In the 2.1 storyline, the screen at Clock Studios Theme Park was split in two. To restore the park to its former glory, trailblazers must take on the crucial task of repairing the screen.

In the Clockie: Dreamjoy Memoir event, Trailblazers are tasked with directing and editing films. Films that do well in test screenings will increase the park's box office revenue and attract investment. This money will go towards fixing the screen that was damaged.

In this artistic undertaking, the key to editing is the effective use of the Time Dice. By allocating the Time Dice to different scenes, it will bring about changes in the audience's emotional responses: Thrilling, Comedic, or Dramatic.
Each film must achieve certain key objectives to pass the Internal Screening. As they gain more recognition, Trailblazers will also have the opportunity to create Commercials.

Successfully editing a Classic Ending grants you side character spin-off reels, thereby revealing their corresponding Extra Stories.
During the editing process, Trailblazers have the chance to experiment with different plot directions, and might end up with an ending that's completely different from the original storyline!

2) The Legend of Galactic Baseballer

It is said that deep within the vast Cosmos, the strongest baseball bat lies hidden. To find this bat, the Galactic Baseballer decides to leave home, embarking on an extensive search to locate the treasure.
There are many factions interested in this bat, and the Galactic Baseballer must endure many challenges and defeat many foes in order to progress onward.

It seems that in every battle wave, the Trailblazer needs to defeat as many enemies as possible, gain experience, and level up their team.
After the team levels up, they can choose one of three random weapons or accessories. The weapons help our Baseballer defeat enemies, while the accessories grant buffs to weapons or characters. Every weapon has a corresponding resonant Accessory.

Complete each planet's challenges, earn Raccoon Tokens to enhance your fighting skills, and accumulate Cosmic Reputation which can be exchanged for rewards~
