This update focuses on a new explorable area and a fresh set of traversal mechanics, alongside two new Resonators joining the roster.

Ren Realm, A New Area To Explore

Ren Realm is the new region introduced in 3.6, arriving alongside a brand-new traversal mechanic called Sword Flight, letting the Rover move around the terrain with far more freedom. Notably, this version also lets players perform on musical instruments directly in the open world, an environmental interaction never seen in previous updates.

Qingxiao And Jingran, Two New Resonators

Qingxiao is an Aero sword-wielding Resonator who serves as a main DPS, with a kit built around Tune Strain and stacking Mindlock to amplify her own damage. She arrives in the Phase 1 banner alongside a rerun for Denia. In Phase 2, Jingran (nicknamed the "Cat of the Nether Lamp") launches alongside reruns for Hiyuki and Mornye.
