A new region is open in Epic Seven, Aakhen Exile Colony! This is a brand new chapter for Episode 2. The hero, Wanda, also received her Specialty Change with the 13 December update.
Aakhen Exile Colony is a new region players will explore in the sixth chapter of Episode 2, with stages set in the wilderness. This region of Cidonia was previously used as a prison for criminals of Aakhen. Now, it is a barren land where the descendants of criminals and Aakhen’s lower class reside. Dive right in to learn what happens as rising tensions in Cidonia come to a head. What will happen to Episode 2’s main characters as they converge to Aakhen Exile Colony within Epic Seven?
For Wanda’s part, All-Rounder Wanda is a new Specialty Change for the three star Hero Wanda, now available for players to unlock. Undergoing the Specialty Change will allow Wanda’s third skill be capable of inflicting powerful debuffs on the enemy, while her skill tree lets her become even stronger. Additionally, Exclusive Equipment for Kayron, Lidica and Romann have also been added into the game. Players can enhance these Heroes even further!
Last but not least, Epic Seven joins in the festivities with a makeover for the holidays. In celebration of the upcoming winter season, players can enjoy a festive mood together with their Heroes while in the Lobby.
