Content in Version 4.6
The primary new playable character in version 4.6 is Pearl, an associate of the IPC. She is an Ice character following the Path of Elation, designed to mitigate damage and provide buffs to a specific ally. The update will also introduce new character outfits for Evanescia and Hyacine, along with new cosmetic items referred to as Astral Imagea, which resemble small pets.
