New skills have been added for some Mythic Heroes:
Of the Heroes that appear in Legendary & Mythic Hero Remixes, Nótt: Moon’s Elegance and Ashera: Order Goddess have gained new skills.
New skills:
- A Skill: (Nótt: Moon’s Elegance)
- Distant Dart – Unit can counterattack regardless of foe’s range. If foe initiates combat, grants Spd+5 to unit during combat.
- B Skill: (Nótt: Moon’s Elegance)
- Moon-Twin Wing+ – If a skill compares unit’s Spd to a foe’s or ally’s Spd, treats unit’s Spd as if granted +7.
- At start of combat, if unit’s HP ≥ 25%, inflicts Atk/Spd/Def-5 on foe, unit deals damage = 10% of unit’s Atk (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and reduces the percentage of foe’s non-Special “reduce damage by X%” skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials), and also, if unit’s Spd > foe’s Spd, reduces damage from attacks during combat and from area-of-effect Specials (excluding Røkkr area-of-effect Specials) by percentage = difference between stats × 5 (max 50%). This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.
- B Skill: (Ashera: Order Goddess)
- Lull Spd/Res 4 – Inflicts Spd/Res-X on foe (X = 4 + number of【Bonus】effects active on foe; max 8; excludes stat bonuses) and neutralizes foe’s bonuses to Spd/Res (from skills like Fortify, Rally, etc.) during combat.
- Bonus: All effects that last “for 1 turn” or “that turn only.” Includes bonuses granted by a skill like Rally or Hone and positive status effects (extra movement or effects like Dominance).
- C Skill: (Ashera: Order Goddess)
- Order’s Restraint+ – At start of turn, grants Atk/Res+6,【Null Panic,【Null Follow-Up】, and【Hexblade】to allies within 3 spaces of unit for 1 turn, and also, if the number of allies within 3 spaces of unit ≥ 3, grants Atk/Res+6, 【Null Panic】,【Null Follow-Up】, and “reduces the percentage of foe’s non-Special ‘reduce damage by X%’ skills by 50% during combat (excluding area-of-effect Specials)” to unit for 1 turn.
- If unit is within 3 spaces of an ally, grants Atk/Spd/Def/Res+4 to unit during combat.
- Null Panic: If unit is inflicted with Panic (bonuses converted into penalties), neutralizes the “converts bonuses on target into penalties” effect for 1 turn. (Even though the effect is neutralized, the Panic status remains, and is treated as a Penalty status.)
- Null Follow-Up: If unit’s Spd > foe’s Spd during combat, neutralizes effects that guarantee foe’s follow-up attacks and effects that prevent unit’s follow-up attacks for 1 turn.
- Hexblade: Calculates damage using the lower of foe’s Def or Res during combat for 1 turn (including damage dealt by Specials before combat).
- This skill can only be equipped by its original unit.

Additional Heroes via Heroic Grails:
The following Heroes will be available to summon using Heroic Grails:
- Lloyd: Vengeful Wolf
- Alcryst: Tender Groom
Other Changes:
- We have corrected an issue in the behavior of the negative status condition, Stall.
- The penalty Stall’s effect limits movement to one space. However, this effect was not operating as expected and has been corrected. Previously, when a unit’s movement is limited to one space, the actual range of movement depends on the unit’s type. For example, an Infantry movement type unit could not move into adjacent forested terrain under this effect’s previous behavior. After the update, units will be limited to a movement of one space regardless of their movement type, even allowing for cases like the unit in the aforementioned example to be able to move into an adjacent forested terrain space.
- Gullveig: Glittering Sunlight’s sprite has been adjusted.
- We have adjusted Gullveig: Glittering Sunlight’s appearance when triggering their Duo Skill.
- Illustrations for Gullveig: Glittering Sunlight have been adjusted.
