October 22, 2026, Update Announcement
2026/10/21

Dear Navigators,

This update will be deployed using [zero-downtime maintenance].

During maintenance, you can still log into the game normally and participate in matches, but the servers may experience brief fluctuations. We appreciate your understanding.

Once maintenance is complete, you'll be prompted to [Update the Game]. Please follow the instructions to update your client to the latest version. After logging back in, you'll be ready to experience everything new this patch!

If you are in the middle of a match when maintenance ends, you will receive an [Update Prompt] after the match concludes. Your gaming experience will not be affected.

If you exit the game before maintenance ends and click [Update] to re-enter after maintenance, you may be unable to reconnect to your previous match. We recommend planning your playtime carefully to avoid impacting your match experience.

The maintenance duration may be adjusted based on actual circumstances. If an extension is needed, an advance notice will be posted on the official website. Thank you for your understanding.

2. Balance Adjustments

[Superstring]

Audrey

Skill

  • Adjusted the rotation logic of Audrey's Active Skill in Deployment Mode:
    • Significantly optimized collision detection in Audrey's Deployment Mode. The detection size now matches the character's own body, allowing deployment wherever the character's body can fit.
    • Significantly optimized turning detection in Audrey's Deployment Mode. It is no longer interrupted by terrain or obstacles.

String Energy Network

  • The auto-turret from Awakening 2 will no longer be retrieved by the Active Skill's Deployment Mode. When the turret is destroyed, it enters its own separate cooldown and no longer causes the Active Skill to go on cooldown. While not deployed, holding the Active Skill button will directly enter the Deployment Mode and begin the Awakening 2 placement cast, without needing to release and re-trigger the button. Turret damage adjusted from 10 per shot to 8 per shot.


Eika

Skill

  • Passive Skill New Effect: While heat is present, increases own movement speed. This effect increases with higher heat. After casting a skill and consuming heat, the speed boost briefly persists.


Ming

String Energy Network

  • Awakening 3: Time required to charge by movement adjusted from 18s to 20s.


Mara

Skill

  • Active Skill HP adjusted from 125 to 110.


Galatea

Skill

  • Taking skill damage no longer causes her Passive Skill to enter cooldown; being hit by firearms will still put it on cooldown.
  • The base duration of decoys created by the Active Skill has been adjusted from 7s to 10s.
  • The scan radius of decoy spawns has been increased from 20m to 25m.


Celestia

String Energy Network

  • Awakening 2: Flash's maximum front-facing duration is reduced by 10%, and its minimum back-facing duration is reduced by 25%.


Cielle

String Energy Network

  • Damage dealt by Awakening 2 adjusted from a fixed 40 to 10 + 0.1 × remaining Shield Value.

Fragrans

Skill

  • Now displays in real time the number of teammates currently affected by her Active Skill and Ultimate Skill.


[Melee Weapons & Tactical Items]

  • Greatsword dash attack damage adjusted from 60 to 56, with a slight increase to the dash attack's recovery time.
  • Smoke Bomb duration adjusted from 9s to 8s.



3. Map Updates

  • Halloween (Spookfest) Atmosphere Maps
    • The Spookfest is approaching, and we've prepared a special festive surprise for the battlefield! After this update, two maps [Pier Town] and [Eury Cave] will temporarily receive Spookfest-themed decorations. We look forward to Navigators experiencing a different festive atmosphere in battle.

艾卡红皮2.0banner-英.jpg
  • The limited-time draw pool Cognitive Reconstruction - Sweet Candlelight is now live. Navigators can spend Memory Sequences for draws, with a chance to obtain Legendary character outfit Eika - Sweet Candlelight, Legendary weapon skin Wildfire - Wicked Flame, Legendary exchange item Eika's Cognitive Terminal, plus additional Epic outfits.

New exchange item: Eika's Cognitive Terminal. Redeem 6 specified rare items at Eika's Exchange Shop.

Redeemable rare items include Eika - Sweet Candlelight and Wildfire - Wicked Flame obtained via Cognitive Reconstruction draws. Redeeming these two skins by using Eika's Cognitive Terminal counts as acquiring them through Cognitive Reconstruction draws, so they will no longer drop repeatedly in subsequent draws. Aside from the above rare items, Memory Sequences, dynamic sprays and other goods purchasable with Basestrings have also been added to the shop.

Finally, this round of Cognitive Reconstruction introduces Eika's Collection Rewards. Based on your collection progress of the 6 rare shop items, Navigators can earn up to 6 Gift Points, unlocking 6 milestone rewards tied to your point total.

  • Available: October 22, 2026, 1:00 AM – December 17, 2026, 00:59 AM (UTC+0)
  • Special Notes:
    • Cumulative guaranteed draw count from Cognitive Reconstruction - Sweet Candlelight will carry over to the next Cognitive Reconstruction event.
    • The full-set guarantee draw count accumulated in Cognitive Reconstruction - Sweet Candlelight will not be retained. On your first Legendary skin pull, you may randomly receive Eika - Sweet Candlelight, Wildfire - Wicked Flame, or Eika's Cognitive Terminal.
    • All shop rewards excluding items redeemed via Cognitive Terminals will be removed once Cognitive Reconstruction - Sweet Candlelight concludes.
