The flow of ideas never ends!

Hey, Pioneer! Always a new activity with the new version coming. According to HomDGCat and Seele Leaks, there will be a new test event in the version 3.6! Something about the newest path -- Elation! So what will happen in this new event? Let's continue to reading!

"Laughter Event"

There is an event internally named "Laughter Event" possibly appearing in 3.6. In this event, the team can gain 7 types of Elemental Balls that can trigger certain effects and deal Fixed DMG to enemies. (DMG Type is Break DMG, reason unknown)

The effects and naming suggest that this may be related to an upcoming Elation Path.

Besides, Sparkle, Qingque, Feixiao, Aventurine and Cerydra will obtain a new talent abilities set.

 

Gameplay Leaked

In the challenge stages, the action sequence will now include the "Jack-in-the-Box." When it takes action, it will unleash "Surprise Gifts" to aid in battle.

The "Comedian" can increase the types of "Surprise Gifts" in the "Jack-in-the-Box" while also boosting its "Giggle Suppression" level. The higher the "Giggle Suppression," the stronger the effects of the "Jack-in-the-Box."

The "Comedian" also features all-new talent skills, offering unique combat experiences.
