Alchemy Stars is celebrating its first anniversary with a bang, rolling out a whole host of features and freebies for all Navigators!
Chapters 11 and 12 of the main story will be playable, and 6-star Aurorian, Vice: Keen Sight, will join you after Chapter 12. Her 5-star and 6-star versions cannot be in the same team, Gardens Dorm or Cloud Gardens. For terminal dialogues, you will need to manually switch between the versions.
Should you have the Water Solamber Druse, you can use it to Breakthrough all 6-star Water Aurorians except Bethlehem. Vice: Keen Sight’s Solamber will be obtainable in future story chapters. The Pandora’s Box Mode will unlock permanently; Chapter 11 requires all 3-star stages, while Chapter 12 requires all 3-star clears and Chapter 11 Hard Mode clears.
Invite Aurorians to the Gardens Dorms in the Cloud Gardens to talk and explore Eraveil with them. Buildings here can grant additional resources! Join in with Vice’s Great Discovery event to use event currency in Lucky Draws to get a variety of items from 09:00, 2 June 2022 UTC+0 to 09:00, 20 June 2022 UTC+0.
Aurorian Trials will be available for the limited 6-star Aurorian Reinhardt, guaranteed to be the third 6-star Aurorian as the pity system. 6-star Aurorian Barton: Deft Blades has no such system, and will be available in the mainstay pool. Both recruitments will run 09:00, 2 June 2022 UTC+0 to 04:00, 23 June 2022 UTC+0.
You can get up to 10 Illumina Special Star Flare and Illumina 10x Recruitment Spirit to use in Reinhardt’s recruitment banner.
Bethel’s outfit will be obtainable through the store, as well as returning ones for Charon, Eve, Sariel, Uriel, Philyshy, and Areia, from 09:00, 2 June 2022 UTC+0 to 04:00, 23 June 2022 UTC+0.
Happy first anniversary, Alchemy Stars!
