New Content

New Character: Spectre

A Slayer that uses the power of "Ghost Fastener" on the back of her hand to fight. Dominates the fight with a long attack range and great air mobility. Keeps the opponent at a distance, making it difficult to approach her.

She has various strong long range attacks, great air mobility, and a buff skill that while active, allows her to use MP skills to cancel into other MP skills.

New Mechanic: Indomitable Spirit
