Yangyang: Xuanling is a five-star Havoc sword Resonator, while Suisui is a five-star Glacio rectifier Resonator; Rover also gains an Electro form. Azure Oath and Firstlight's Herald headline the new five-star weapons, with two featured Resonator phases, two featured weapon phases, and the Starpath and Tideforge Reverb convenes.
KURO GAMES listed 17 new Echoes, including Rustfire Chassis, Thousand-Puppet Pavilion, Fog Lionarch, Forbidden Bastion, and six Kernel Puppet variants.
