Masters of the Book! 

A new update to ASTRA: Knights of Veda will be released on August 1, 2024!

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

■ Update
*  A new 5★ Knight of Veda “Violet” will now be available!

 

"Is your life… fresh enough?"
Violet, an Enchanted Warrior who has earned the title: "The kindest and cruelest of them all.” She normally exudes dignity and politeness, yet in battle, she transforms into a fearsome warrior. Her opponent’s strong will to live only stimulates her hunting instincts. Even she, who smiles a maniacal grin while taking a new, fresh life, has moments of genuine laughter.

 - “Violet'' is an Electric-attribute Ranged Healer who wields a staff capable of restoring allies’ HP based on the amount of DMG dealt to enemies. Her Normal Skill, "Lightning Flash," drops a powerful bolt of lightning on an enemy location, dealing Shock and DMG. Her Signature Skill, "Blossom of Lightning," unleashes a lightning flower to bloom on an enemy location, dealing heavy DMG and knocking back enemies that approach, creating a field of electricity that continuously deals Shock and Electric DMG over time.

* A new 4★ Knight of Veda “Bjorn” will also be available!

"My fury is as fierce as the frozen ocean!"
If one were to describe him in a single word, it would undoubtedly be "tenacity." In order to protect his tribe from the beasts, he was unwavering in his pursuit of immense strength and held a deep disdain for weakness. A mere glance at his scarred and calloused body betrays the hardships he endured and the relentless battles he fought to survive.

 - "Bjorn" is a Fire-type Melee Tank with an Axe & Shield, able to withstand enemy attacks with high DEF and fast ATK SPD while unleashing quick attacks in combat. His Normal Skill, “The One Who Calls Destruction,” allows him to leap high and slam the ground, dealing a wide area of DMG and leaving a burning zone on the ground that deals DMG and weakens enemies over time. His Signature Skill, “Wild Frenzy,” taunts nearby enemies to protect his allies before striking back to neutralize them.

* New Guild Feature: Guild Territory
