Travelers will be able, in addition to exploring the Inazuma region, plus two of the seven main cities in the new revealed area. In them, players will have stories, new characters and seasonal events to enjoy.

There will be three new playable characters. They are: Kamisato Ayaka, Yoimiya and Sayu. Below is a brief description of them:

• Kamisato Ayaka: of the Kamisato Clan of the Yashiro Commission, she is famous for her elegance, wisdom, and strength. The character has been known since closed betas and is being added as a five-star user with the Cryo sword.
• Yoimiya: stands out for its art of creating fireworks. She is a Pyro Archer and 5 star character.
