Below are the full details regarding the Season 3: Episode 2 update.
Main Story and Special Events
In previous story arcs, Alpha was captured by Caler. After being interrogated, the Descendants prepare to launch a rescue mission, heading toward the Axion Plains.
To celebrate this update, a new seasonal event will run from November 6 to December 4, 2025. This event features elements from the main story and new content introduced in this update, allowing all players easy access to complete missions. Rewards include Aces, chest attachments, and materials required to reconfigure Prophet Modules.
Additionally, a limited-time login event will run from November 6 (Thursday) to December 18 (Thursday). Simply logging in daily grants various rewards such as the “Serena’s Cleaning Service Set.”
Ultra-Huge Receptacle Dungeon
Players can now enjoy the newly added Ultra-Huge Receptacle Dungeon. Designed for hard difficulty, access follows Axion Plains rules and allows entry via Alabion Terminal, World Map, or beacons located within Axion.
This dungeon serves as a key farming location for the new character Harris and the ultimate weapon “Master of the Colony.” Victorious players will receive valuable rewards.
The new boss, “Pattern Florus,” launches powerful laser attacks from the center of the map. Quickly identifying the boss’s attack patterns is essential to defeating it. Upon defeat, players receive a new module; clearing mission objectives grants access to new external components.
Bayonetta Collaboration
This collaboration features full-body skins for Bayonetta and weapon skins recreating her iconic gun “Scarborough Fair.” Additional content includes exclusive makeup skins, animations, spawn effects, and more—all packed with Bayonetta’s signature style.
To celebrate the collaboration, a special in-game event runs from November 6 (Thursday) to December 4 (Thursday). During this period, players can earn rewards such as Ultimate Descendant Selection Boxes by completing daily missions. Using these tickets, players may select one character among the ultimate replicas: Repick, Eijacks, or Vieser.
New Character “Harris”
Passive Skill: Internal Toxin Regulation
This passive skill allows Harris to gain or consume toxins each time he uses a skill. Depending on accumulated toxin levels, various effects are triggered. Mastering this passive is crucial to unlocking Harris’s full potential and maximizing performance in high-difficulty combat.
◆ Active Skills
- Charge Smash: Dash forward and crush enemies with mechanical arms on both arms.
- Intrusion: Use arms for long-range leaping; if used again mid-air, unleash a powerful ground slam attack.
- Hazard Zone Designation: Create an area that continuously deals damage to surrounding foes.
- Waste Disposal: Fire beams from extendable mechanical arms to attack enemies at range.
◆ Prophet Module
The Prophet Module is a newly introduced module type, exclusively equipped in the dedicated Descendant module slot.
Random Attributes: Each of the following attributes are generated individually:
- Socket Type
- Descendant
- Mastery Rank
- Number and Types of Options
Players can adjust the number and types of options, but the following cannot be changed:
Socket Type, Descendant, Mastery Rank. Modules that do not require capacity may be disassembled. Collected Prophet Modules are managed separately within the system. Prophet Modules will become tradable starting with the December update.
