4.2 Update - New Characters

New Playable Characters

Furina - 5 Star

ElementHydro
WeaponSword
Description
Perpetual muse of chansons and rondeaux. The absolute focus of the stage of judgment until the final applause sounds
Kit Summary
Elemental Skill: Salon Solitaire
- Furina will invite different guests based on her current Arkhe alignment. Under the Ousia alignment, she will deal AoE Hydro DMG and summon 3 Salon Members: the Ball Octopus-shaped Gentilhomme Usher, the Bubbly Seahorse-shaped Surintendante Chevalmarin, and the Armored Crab-shaped Mademoiselle Crabaletta. Salon Members will attack nearby opponents at intervals and consume the HP of nearby party members, which can increase the power of their current attacks. Under the Pneuma alignment, she summons the Singer of Many Waters, which periodically heals nearby active characters. The Salon Members and Singer of Many Waters share a duration, and when Furina uses her Charged Attack to change the guest type, the new guests will inherit the remaining duration.
Elemental Burst: Let the People Rejoice
- Deal AoE Hydro DMG and cause nearby party members to enter the Universal Revelry state. During this time, when nearby party members' HP increases or decreases, Fanfare points will be granted to Furina based on the amount by which their HP changes. At the same time, Furina will increase the DMG dealt by and Incoming Healing Bonus of all nearby party members based on the amount of Fanfare she has.

Charlotte - 4 Star

ElementCryo
WeaponCatalyst
Description
Your credible source of the unbelievable truth! Indefatigable reporter of The Steambird, constantly on the hunt for the "truth"
Kit
Elemental Skill: Framing: Freezing Point Composition
- When tapped, it deals AoE Cryo DMG to opponents in front of her and applies Snappy Silhouette to opponents hit. Snappy Silhouette will deal Cryo DMG to affected opponents at intervals. When held, Charlotte enters Composition Mode, and during this time, the viewfinder will expand as you hold until you reach a Finisher Frame state. When the hold state ends, Cryo DMG will be dealt to all opponents locked on within the viewfinder, and Snappy Silhouette is applied. If you unleash this ability only after reaching Finisher Frame, you will instead apply Focused Impression, which lasts longer and deals more DMG.
Elemental Burst: Still Photo: Comprehensive Confirmation
- Creates a Newsflash Field that deals one instance of AoE Cryo DMG and restores HP for all nearby party members. While Newsflash Field is active, it will deal Cryo DMG at intervals to opponents within its AoE and continuously restore HP to active character(s) within its AoE.
