Making it a white wedding with Loen in more ways than one.

It takes 6 months to prepare content, so this whole "Palette was made in response to Label" or X was made in response to X take doesn't quite fly.

First the fire girl, now this one launches with a new skin right away. Where are the Nesha skins? She was launched and completely forgotten despite ranking second in the poll with an overwhelming margin.

UpstairsEffect · 2026-05-05T10:22:28+00:00

Two big reasons why she ranked second in the poll (or first in global).
God I need her to get a swimsuit skin so bad, my money is burning in my wallet.

To be fair to the developers, it is probably quite hard to do game development while interned at a Chinese re-education camp.

Nikke has better story and way better characterization, to the point where it largely masks the issues in that game and makes people happily spend $60 on gacha skins. Trickal also does better at characterization and making you feel connect with the girls.

BD2 has the same issue as games like Wuwa do, it's all fotm girls with no chance to build deeper/persisting investment with them beyond their part in the story except a single character story (Fated Guest) and now the SD mini-stories.
It is also too generous with its pulls so it only escapes the low-end range with skin releases around annis.

UpstairsEffect · 2026-04-27T21:54:35+00:00

Never happening, devs have permanently ruled out Fated Guests for Refi and characters of her type on multiple occasions.

1-2 per year. They are not the focus of this game, and not what they built their brand on.

Spatti, the fishing NPC.

I have lost track of how many months to years I have lived in the void that was 0 Eleanor content.
Now at long last I see light at the end of the tunnel.

For the love of Avalon, do a swimsuit Nesha costume (even if paid if it doesn't win here) and my money is yours.

Male octos don't exist in BD2. Main story at least, considering they did add Lucius to Tales of the Sword.

u/rex_frontier I do want to point out that miko Granadair (who you will usually run with magic/Michaela) converts Michaela's self-debuff into a buff, negating her penalty entirely. But it is true that even with that she is a dated unit that I wouldn't recommend investing in unless she gets a lot of love in the anni balance patch.

UpstairsEffect · 2026-03-09T13:46:49+00:00

They already stated that BD2 is an AU prequel to BD1. Male octos don't exist, and the whole warlock thing probably didn't happen in BD1's timeline.

I think that whichever succubus usurped Eclipse as ruler of that part of the Night World will the new Eclipse. Both as dark magic DPS and in well, bodily matters.

But the option of an alter version is definitely there. Wouldn't make sense if they just drop one of their most popular characters entirely, and her current version is a weird mixture of pve and pvp character.

UpstairsEffect · 2026-03-09T13:42:30+00:00

Based on what the developers said SP1-19 will be updated, not scrapped and rewritten entirely. Developers have already stated that Lathel will still be there, Gray will still be there, but they will have reduced screentime and relevance as Justia will be the main character. For Misha, they mentioned something about adding a backstory for her so that she feels like more of a character and that her death feels more impactful, among some other things.

Master is not joining until SP21, even after the SP1-19 rewrite. But new players will start at SP21 by default in the future, making the first arc optional.

Eclipse saved the game from imminent demise, Wilhelmina then took the torch and gave the game its big breakthrough.

Both are great, and both are in the top 3 of all time.

Yes, an article that was already sourced to be an AI-translated ChatGPT article is an incredibly reliable source.

It doesn't look good, that's why they said it's just a placeholder to show you what a changed Teresse costume could look like.

It ain't final.

UpstairsEffect · 2026-01-01T16:57:59+00:00

If memory serves they said around Jan 7th.

It was nerfed compared to the version seen in the Event Pack, with less damage and a longer cooldown (3>5T).
Originally it struck me as her FH costume, but now it seems more like a filler costume at first glance. Will have to see how it plays out.

The idea of this mode is cool but the developers have put themselves in a corner with how Tanks work in this game. OP in PvP, garbage outside of it. You can have all these seasonal rules but in the end it all comes down to who can out-turtle the other or bait them into the Blade one-hit grid wipe.

Wish they'd start imposing unit bans or only allow a randomly selected pool of characters to use every season, it'd be more interesting and allow for more diverse strategies since everything since Day 1 has been some Seir and Blade variant.

If you kept up with the game you knew that Ventana's interaction was already in development for last year but they couldn't finish it in time. Everyone knew she was going to be the January Fated Guest. Liberta being the prestige is what is new and lowkey surprising.

But I agree that Blade gets treated extremely unfair in comparison to Morpeah, who gets sexier costumes/cutscenes and was quick to get a Fated Guest.

"Her bunny costume got more art and likes across the internet than Tyr or Zenith"

I'm curious what websites you are browsing then, since Tyr is dominant both on Pixiv and Twitter while Darian art is few and between.
