As we all know, after analyzing all the currently revealed skill mechanics and numerical data, it can be seen that the Moon Maiden has certain requirements for Elemental Energy Recharge. Especially after her official release, in the Stygian Onslaught, she may struggle to activate her Elemental Burst immediately. Therefore, to ensure a smoother experience for players upon her release, the developers have thoughtfully arranged a dedicated enemy tailored to her. So, let's dive into this article to learn more about the new Boss.
Lord of the Hidden Depths: Whisperer of Nightmares — Ravager's Edge
- Will create a Deepdark Shield equal to 45% HP. It takes 300% of the original DMG when hit by Lunar Reaction DMG, but is immune to Physical DMG. When the Shield takes Lunar reaction DMG for the first time, generates Elemental Orbs that revives 36 energy.
- When the Shield is destroyed, loses 20% HP and becomes Weakened, all RES dropping to -60%.
- Will summon Anglers when charging Ult (each 18% HP). Every Angler defeated reduces Shield by 25%.

Based on the above characteristics, we can observe that:
Unlike previous tailored enemies that merely grant a single-type special shield, this boss possesses two unique shield types. When attacked with Lunar-related elemental reactions, the shield-breaking efficiency against it is significantly higher.
While the shield is active, the first instance of Lunar-reaction damage inflicted on the monster will additionally generate Elemental Particles for the character, providing a substantial amount of energy—up to 36 points directly. This allows Columbina to fully charge her Elemental Burst with just one skill use. It appears the developers anticipated her difficulty in activating her Burst in the Stygian Onslaught stage and proactively designed an environment tailored to her needs.
Although this mechanism is also quite beneficial for characters native to the region of Nod-krai, its release timing—coinciding with Columbina in version 6.3—inevitably raises suspicions that the developers specifically added this skill effect to ensure she has a better experience in the Stygian Onslaught challenge.
Notably, prior to the adjustments in the fourth phase of testing, this monster did not possess such a mechanism or attribute.

Moreover, the release date for "Columbina" has been officially confirmed. She will debut on the same day as the version 6.3 update, January 14, 2026, which has also been designated as her birthday by the developers. As a result, the celebrations for her arrival are expected to be grand. In addition to her official character artwork, a special birthday illustration will be unveiled simultaneously. This clearly demonstrates the high level of importance the developers have placed on Columbina, and it is highly likely that she will play a significant role in the upcoming versions!
