Masters of the Book,

A new update to ASTRA: Knights of Veda will be released on June 27, 2024!

Read below to find out more about what this update will bring to the game. 

■ A bright new 5★ Knight of Veda has arrived!
* A new 5★ Knight of Veda ‘Sorin’ will now be available!

“Nice to meet you all! I'm Sorin Urora. Call me the Saint of the Sun”

She is a remarkable knight and a star among the Salvation Knights 
People admire her, and she returns their love
Sorin always wears a bright smile,
but deep down, there may be a darker side that remains hidden, perhaps more than anyone can fathom 

- Sorin is a Light-type Melee Healer with a Sword & Shield who heals allies and assists in combat. Her Normal Skill "Answer of the Goddess'' deals Light DMG to enemies and heals allies’ HP. Signature Skill "Sunlit Flower'' deals Light DMG to a wide area, heals allies over time, and removes enemies’ skills and non-creature minions. (Updated 06/26 09:57 AM UTC/02:57 AM PDT)
- Summons (this includes Nec/Rodrick, Sansar/Narni, Iris/Dekania) are not removed by Sorin’s Signature Skill [Sunlit Flower].
- Due to reasons of in-game balance, structures summoned by some bosses will not be removed by [Sunlit Flower]. Affected bosses include:
* Adventure Dungeon Chapter 6 Boss / Giant Golden Bell
* Sealed Prison Chapter 3 Boss / Rolling Quartz Boulders
* Sealed Prison Chapter 4 Boss / Electric Spheres
* Sealed Prison Chapter 5 Boss / Glacier Crash, Blizzard

■ A 4★ Knight and her trusty golem
- A new 4★ Knight of Veda ‘Iris’ will now also be available!

“I will achieve great things from now on! Remember this day!”

She is admired by all, but she also has a passionate admiration for someone.
Iris has become a member of the Salvation Knights-in-Training, fueled by her deep admiration for the Great Mage of Earth, Lynn Savage.
With a sense of pride in her own abilities, she may encounter setbacks along the way, but she will persevere through these challenges to achieve her dreams.

- “Iris” is an Earth-type Ranged Support wielding Wand & Orb. She summons Dekania and drops rocks in combat. Her Normal Skill “Summon Dekania” summons Dekania to taunt enemies, increasing the damage received by the targeted enemy. Her Signature Skill "Grasp of Desire" causes a giant stone hand to rise up, binding enemies and exploding as it disappears, dealing additional DMG.

■ 'Black Mutation'  Follow Function
- A button is added so that other knights can follow the currently controlled Veda knights.
