Masters of the Book, As the blazing heat of the summer sun arrived earlier this year, We hope everyone is taking care of themselves. And while the heat continues to shine, so does our quest to bring more new and fun content continue! In this update, the tragic beauty Celestia makes her debut. Tormented by her quest to destroy both the enemies of the Lloyd Papal Court and the self she continues to believe is not worth saving, she works as both a Priest and Executioner. To her, whose worthless life was saved by mortals, gods do not exist. This update will also introduce the new region "Trondheim," long awaited by many Masters of the Book. This new adventure zone will add 12 new adventure dungeons and one (1) nightmare dungeon for you to explore! This land, once the hope of humanity and the terror of beasts, now only has its frozen walls and ruins remaining, but the secrets slumbering within will stir an unexpected vortex of chaos. In addition, a new Relic Auto-Dismantle feature will be introduced alongside options to hide pop-ups for a certain amount of time. For this update’s Knight adjustments, it’s Veleno, Aurora, Edward, and Albert’s time to shine. In the realm of events, the Tower of Trials returns as a new seasonal event alongside the usual slate of events we have prepared for you. We have also prepared a new mascot for you to earn on Simon’s Amazing Gifts! For more information about everything new or changed coming to this patch, you can check out the rest of the patch notes! ■ Knights of Veda * 5★ Knight of Veda Celestia begins her execution “…I will begin my execution” She is both a priest and an executioner in the Lloyd Papal Court.

This coming update, the mysterious Bianca, a brilliant mind capable of predicting everything, will make her grand entrance. Coming with her is an update to Portrait of Thierry, alongside an attached mode to it called “Glorious Age”—offering fresh challenges and even greater rewards.

Read below to find out more about what this update will bring to the game. ■ Knights of Veda * The new 5★ Knight of Veda, Bianca, welcomes you to her dark world “I'm so ready to get crazy, who wants to play with me?” Her laughter invites despair. To her, hope is just a toy. To her, a boring world is akin to death. She only feels truly alive when in danger, chaos, and instability. Her genuine amusement begins when everything falls apart - Bianca is a Dark-type Melee DPS who uses a Large Club. Each hit of her massive hammer applies “Dopamine Index” to herself, gaining increased ATK and ATK SPD. You might even trigger a special skill called “Hey you, come here!,” which deals additional AoE DMG. - Her Normal Skill, “I’ll be right there!” lets her swift charge towards enemies in front to strike them down while her Signature Skill, “I’m just being my normal self,” unleashes a shockwave that damages nearby enemies all the while giving her access to some powerful buffs that increase DMG, give her a boost to CRIT DMG and reduce DMG taken. - “Bianca” alongside her Signature Weapon “Once Sacred” can be obtained via Call of the Stars. While her Signature Halo “Dark Natured Halo” and her Signature El Cid “El Cid of Game” can be obtained via “Mark of the Sworn Loyalty” and “Fragments of the Painting” respectively, which can be found on the “Guidance of the Goddess” menu. - Check out Bianca and her abilities all the while earning rewards in the “Journey in Memory” event. - An enhanced Step Up Pack will also be available for Bianca, which contains a generous amount of Crystals of Destiny and a Bond of Sanctuary, allowing you to select a Legendary Weapon of Genesis of your choice. * Another new beginning arrives for the 5★ Knight of Veda, White Hell. - “White Hell” is a Dual Attribute Electric and Light-type Ranged DPS wielding a Staff, she uses the power of “Dynamic Punishment” to periodically cause lightning to strike down around her. These lightning bolts become holy torrents, neutralizing some of the target's Electric and Light RES and delivering judgment. - White Hell alongside her Signature Weapon “World Tree Broom” can be obtained via Call of the Stars. While her Signature Halo “Advancing Halo” and her Signature El Cid “Awakened Angel” can be obtained via “Mark of the Sworn Loyalty” and “Fragments of the Painting” respectively, which can be found on the “Guidance of the Goddess” menu. * 5★ Knight of Veda Lady Anais Liongray, companion of the eternal flame bird, once again answers the Call of the Stars - “Anais” is a Fire-type Ranged Healer wielding a Wand & Orb, she is a healer who sacrifices a portion of her HP to boost ATK while simultaneously reviving vulnerable allies during her attacks. - Anais alongside her Signature Weapon “Special Relationship” can be obtained via Call of the Stars.

In return, you will earn more progress points upon clearing. - If you’re encountering trouble with the difficulty level you chose, don’t worry! You can always change to a different one. (Updated on 06/20 05:09 AM UTC / 06/19 10:09 PM PDT) - These progress points can then be used to claim rewards which will reset every Thursday. Rewards include Gold and Mythic Relic crafting materials. - Thierry’s Pass will be available starting 07/01 and will reset every first day of the month. - Additional rewards such as “Mystical Chromatics” can also be earned by going to the Thierry’s Pass menu.

Nightmare of the Abyss rework! * Adjustments to the Nightmare of theAbyss Levels will be made, reducing them from 25 to 10 - To make the content more fun to do and allow our Masters of the Book to farm higher-level rewards, we’ve made the decision to reduce the number of Abyssal Levels from 25 to 10. Take note that we didn’t just reduce the number of levels, we’ve also made various balance adjustments to each to make sure that it’ll still be a challenge in line with its status as end-game content. - Your current progress will be converted to the new system when the rework is live. We’ve also adjusted the penalties for failing a dungeon, such as that it will only be reduced one (1) level at a time. - For more details on how the conversion works, please check the table below: New Abyssal Levels Old Abyssal Levels Reward 1 1~2 Same rewards you get from the old Abyssal Level 2. 2 3~4 Same rewards you get from the old Abyssal Level 4. 3 5~6 Same rewards you get from the old Abyssal Level 6. 4 7~9 Same rewards you get from the old Abyssal Level 9. 5 10~12 Same rewards you get from the old Abyssal Level 12. 6 13~16 Same rewards you get from the old Abyssal Level 16. 7 17~20 Same rewards you get from the old Abyssal Level 20. 8 21~24 Same rewards you get from the old Abyssal Level 24. 9 25 Same rewards you get from the old Abyssal Level 25. 10 N/A Better rewards than the new Abyssal Level 9. * From the new Abyssal Level 8 onwards, you will now be able to obtain up to two (2) Mythic Relics. ■ Balance * Another set of four (4) Knights of Veda will be up for adjustments. - In this update, the Knights of Veda Xanthia, Ellen Farrell, Nec, and Violet will be adjusted. - Going forward, we plan to make these Knight of Veda adjustments more regularly through our monthly updates. Knight of Veda Adjustments Xanthia Normal and Signature Skill DMG will be increased. Ellen Farrell When using “Sword of Waves,” all hits will be adjusted to deal additional damage based on the current number of “Wave” stacks he has. The increase to the maximum number of “Wave” stacks you can have applied by his Fate Level 4 and 6 effects will be reduced, however the damage increase applied per “Wave” stack will be increased. The Mythic Skill of his signature weapon “Wave of Life” will be adjusted; the chance you can get a stack of “Wave” will be increased. (Updated on 06/20 05:09 AM UTC / 06/19 10:09 PM PDT) Nec The effect of her Fate Lvl. 1 has been integrated into her base stats, an effect reducing an enemy’s Darkness RES will be replacing it.

Rest assured that we’ll continue to monitor the situation (and your feedback!) to make the necessary adjustments. ■ Improvements * A mythic change will now allow you to Mythic Accessories! - You will now be able to craft accessories when you go to Gundir.

Masters of the Book, The 05/29 Update is nearly upon us and before it arrives, we wanted to give you a brief preview of the update’s content. Bluebell, the fifth Enchanted Warrior of the Shadows of Dark Nights, who has lost all memories as a side effect of experiments gone wrong, comes to ASTRA: Knights of Veda. Though she lives in constant fear of what she has become, she becomes completely uncontrollable once she enters a frenzied state. Coming with Bluebell is a rework of the long-forgotten Sealed Prison content! A specific prison will now open daily according to the day of the week, clearing which will grant you materials for “Goddess’s Blessing,” a buff that will enhance stats based on the Role. We’ve also made careful adjustments to four Knights of Veda, making sure they’re all relevant to the game’s evolving meta, in addition to making all 5★ Weapons now eligible for Mythic Promotion. Finally, in response to player feedback, we’ve cooked up new events for everyone. Need more gold? A Double Rewards event for Calydon’s Hideout will be held, alongside one for Arena Survival! Blessing in Adventure/Nightmare, which already gives you double the rewards, will now have their daily use doubled also! Read below to find out more about what this update will bring to the game. ■ Knights of Veda * Ring the bell and don’t forget, 5★ Knight of Veda Bluebell will be coming this update “I'm sorry... Die, please die!!!” In the dark of the night, follow the sound of weeping and you will find a slender girl muttering to herself. "S-Sorry... I-I'm so sorry..." She has forgotten everything in the constant experiments inflicted upon her and now remembers nothing but the word "Bluebell.” Once the most noble young lady in the kingdom, dreaming a dream full of hope, she now wants only one thing.

While her Signature Halo “Covenant Halo” and her Signature El Cid “El Cid of Silent Resolve” can be obtained via “Mark of the Sworn Loyalty” and “Fragments of the Painting” respectively, which can be found on the “Guidance of the Goddess” menu. ■ Sealed Prison rework finally unsealed! * The oft-forgotten Sealed Prison is now getting its deserved rework. - The reworked Sealed Prisons can be accessed via the “Sealed Prison” button on the Belle Menu, through the Adventure Guide, or as before, by going through the respective Sealed Prison on the Adventure Zones. - The new Sealed Prison consists of seven dungeons, with each being available only during a specific day, which you can check on the main Sealed Prison screen where you can also check the current Blessing Level for each Sealed Prison. ※ What’s a Blessing then?

Masters of the Book, A new update to ASTRA: Knights of Veda will be released on April 24, 2025! Read below to find out more about what this update will bring to the game. ■ A new 5★ Knight of Veda, Dorothea, ascends the ranks. “Fighting isn't just about strength. Always use your brain!!” Captain of the 1st Division of the 4th Legion of the Titans Army. She may have once been the weakest cadet in the army, but she killed the captain and took his place. There were rumors that she had returned from the brink of death like a ghost, but her perfect smile was enough to silence them all, hiding the truth deep within. - Dorothea is a Fire-type Ranged DPS with a long gun (Large Bow) that inflicts [Mark] on enemies she hits. When she hits an enemy with [Mark], she removes the enemy's [Mark] and accumulates [Heat] for herself. When her accumulated [Heat] reaches max, she will enter the [Overheated] state and use a devastating explosive attack to destroy enemies. Her Normal Skill [Bombardment Support] calls for bombardment support to a specific location, dealing DMG to enemies in range and granting [Mark] while her Signature Skill [Scorching Blast] unleashes a scorching bomb on enemies, dealing massive DMG and creating a [Terrible Fire Zone] in the area where the bomb lands. Enemies in the fire zone take Fire DMG and gain [Enhanced Mark]. [Enhanced Mark] is not removed even when enemies are hit, allowing her to continuously build up [Heat]. - “Dorothea” alongside her Signature Weapon “Gemini” can be obtained via Call of the Stars. While her Signature Halo “Burning Halo” and her Signature El Cid “Facade of Serenity” can be obtained via “Mark of the Sworn Loyalty” and “Fragments of the Painting” respectively, which can be found on the “Guidance of the Goddess” menu. - Check out Dorothea and her abilities all the while earning rewards in the “Journey in Memory” event. - To celebrate her addition to the game, the “Fateful Encounter” login event will offer a set of valuable rewards, including Radiance and Mystical Chromatics. ■ 5★ Knight of Veda Amor returns, overflowing with love. * The devoted secretary and former captain of the Duke of Koren’s family escort, Amor makes her return! - "Amor" converts a portion of her Max HP into ATK and DEF and uses the "Thunderbolt's Protection" effect to distribute a portion of the Incoming DMG over a set period of time. - “Amor” alongside her Signature Weapon “Record of Thunderbolts” can be obtained via Call of the Stars. While her Signature Halo “Pure Love” and her Signature El Cid “Eternal Promise” can be obtained via “Mark of the Sworn Loyalty” and “Fragments of the Painting” respectively, which can be found on the “Guidance of the Goddess” menu. ■ A better Battlefield of the War Gods comes to you during this season! - More abundant rewards await you on the upcoming Battlefield of the War Gods season, with the daily Radiance rewards you get from your rank being significantly increased!

These Knights can be easily identified on the party formation screen and on icons displayed at the bottom. - If any restricted Knights of Veda are in either your Attack or Defense Party, you’ll need to remove them in order to proceed. - A new “War Gods Pass” will now also be available starting May 01. You can access it via the top-left button on the Battlefield of the War Gods menu. Please note that the missions and rewards from the pass will reset every 1st day of the month. ■ It’s not just War Gods, Nightmare of the Abyss also gets its own revamp! - A button to easily switch between Veda’s Nightmare and Nightmare of the Abyss has been added. - You will now also be able to freely select which Nightmare of the Abyss stage you want to challenge– no more waiting for the right one to appear! - Abyssal Levels will adjust dynamically based on your performance and will be applied across all Nightmare of the Abyss stages. - A new “Abyss Pass” will now also be available starting May 01. You can access it via the top-left button on the Nightmare of the Abyss menu. Please note that the missions and rewards from the pass will reset every 1st day of the month. - The “Repeat” feature will now also be available on Nightmare of the Abyss for your convenience. The Abyssal Level used will now also be adjusted based on the results of the previous battle. ■ Ascend to new heights! Halo and El Cid can now be Refined up to Level 7! - Halo and El Cid can now reach up to Refinement Level 7, making them more powerful. Nothing changes as to how you refine them, obtain another copy of the Halo or El Cid and you can now refine it to a higher level. ■ Balance * The effects of the Relics [Forgotten Underground Monster] and [Lady of the Ancient Golden Age] will be adjusted. - The 4-Set Effects for the aforementioned Relics at Legendary and Mythic Grade will be adjusted: Relic Grade Original Effect New Effect Forgotten Underground Monster Legendary Increases ATK SPD and Movement SPD by 20% for 12 sec(s) when hitting an enemy with a Normal ATK. This effect triggers once every 20 secs. Increases ATK SPD and Movement SPD by 30% for 12 sec(s) when hitting an enemy with a Normal ATK. This effect triggers once every 15 secs. Mythic Increases ATK SPD and Movement SPD by 25% for 12 sec(s) when hitting an enemy with a Normal ATK. This effect triggers once every 20 secs. Increases ATK SPD and Movement SPD by 35% for 12 sec(s) when hitting an enemy with a Normal ATK. This effect triggers once every 15 secs. Lady of the Ancient Golden Age Legendary Upon summoning a creature or object, reduces party members’ Wound Rate by 3% with a 30% chance per creature or object. (Cooldown: 20s) Upon summoning a creature or object, reduces party members’ Wound Rate by 3% with a 70% chance per creature or object. (Cooldown: 6s) Mythic Upon summoning a creature or object, reduces party members’ Wound Rate by 4% with a 30% chance per creature or object. (Cooldown: 20s) Upon summoning a creature or object, reduces party members’ Wound Rate by 4% with a 100% chance per creature or object. (Cooldown: 6s) * Adjustments will be made to “Shadow Waters” and “Ancient Giant” - Both Shadow Waters and Ancient Giant are content designed to be challenged with the recommended Knights of Veda for each dungeon. - Accordingly, we’ve made adjustments that will emphasize this design target. - Bosses in Shadow Waters and Ancient Giant that are in a Groggy state will now take reduced damage from non-recommended Knights while taking increased damage from Recommended Knights. - We’re still keeping an eye on your feedback for further adjustments so keep them coming Masters of the Book! * The formula for ATK SPD Bonus calculation will be adjusted. - Previously, only the highest value among all the active ATK SPD buffs will be applied. That means even when multiple sources of this buff are present– such as those from Halo, El Cid, Skills etc– only the highest value will be applied. - To improve this, we’ve made a change where all ATK SPD buffs will now stack together, including those applied by equipment effects. However, a cap set to 90% of the base ATK SPD will be introduced, with diminishing returns on efficiency as you near the maximum. ■ Improvements * Enhance both your Knights of Veda and their Equipment in one go! - A “Batch Enhance” button has been added when selecting the “Level Up” tab for your Knights of Veda. - The same button has also been added for enhancing equipment (Weapons, Relics, Tunics, Halo, El Cid, Goddess Armor etc.) - Using this feature, you can now level up all at once to the highest possible level using all your available enhancement and ascension materials. - Use the [+] and [-] to specify the level you wish to enhance to. * Improvements to Halo, El Cid, and Weapon of Genesis summoning will be made. - A new “Guaranteed Pull” button will be added to the “Mark of the Sworn Loyalty,” “Fragments of the Painting,” and the “ Furnace of Genesis” Summon screens. - When you select the “Guaranteed Pull” button, you will continue to summon until you obtain the chosen Knight’s Signature equipment or until your available resources have been depleted. - For Weapon of Genesis, you will now also be able to summon until the selected Weapon of Genesis type is received. - The “Skip Effects” option will now also skip the animations for when “Transcendent Revelations” is active. * Improvements to the “Failed” screen will be made. - Information on possible avenues for growth and enhancement to be able to successfully finish the Adventure Stage will now be visible on the Failed screen, with the buttons now guiding users to the respective feature. * More granular Relic Synthesis will be added in this update! - You will now be able to select a Main Stat in addition to up to two (2) sub-stats for your Relic. - Main Stat selection will still need “Fixed Time Fragment” as before while for Sub-stats, you will be needing “Distorted Time Fragment” for the synthesizing process. The amount of “Distorted Time Fragment” consumed will vary based on how many sub-stats are selected. - “Distorted Time Fragment” can be purchased in the Support Store and can also be earned as future event rewards or through other methods. * It is now possible to have the same Main and Sub-stats on your relics when synthesizing them! - Even without selecting it specifically, there is now a chance for both your main and sub-stats to be of the same stat. - This works even for the Knight’s Memories and Core Beliefs Relic Types. * The HP of the Guardian Stones you must protect in “Celestial Trials” will be increased. - Starting from Floor 21 and above, the HP of the Guardian Stones have been increased by 60%. * The number of Shoes consumed in Ancient Golden City has been adjusted. - We’ve heard your feedback regarding the amount of Shoes needed for some of the game’s content, we plan to address this issue step-by-step, starting with Ancient Golden City. We’ll continue to monitor your feedback so please let us know! - Shoe cost will now be at 20 Adventurer’s Shoes, previously it was 80 Shoes. ■ Events and Seasonal Content * To celebrate this warm May, a couple of special events will be held. - “Warm May!” Attendance Rewards Event - Log-in daily to receive rewards such as Starstones, Crystal of Fates and Crystal of Destiny! - “Warm May!

Masters of the Book, A new update to ASTRA: Knights of Veda will be released on March 27, 2025! Read below to find out more about what this update will bring to the game. ■ Death is her new beginning, the new 5★ Knight of Veda “White Hell” rises "Death is the perfect beginning" From a tiny being that was dependent on the Goddess, she has been reborn to begin a new phase of her life. Overcoming her fear of ceasing to exist and gaining the power of transcendent beings, Belle Snow was reborn as “White Hell.” Now that she understands the principles of the world, she is about to begin her own story - White Hell uses the power of “Dynamic Punishment” to periodically cause lightning to strike down around her. These lightning bolts become holy torrents, neutralizing some of the target's Electric and Light RES and delivering judgment. Her Normal Skill, “Storm Stigma,” allows her to brandish her staff and shoot a bolt of holy energy, branding the target with “Divine Retribution.” A judgement of lightning and thunder will descend upon the target with “Divine Retribution,” bombarding them with lightning strikes that will eventually incapacitate them. Her Signature Skill, Celestial Judgment,” opens the sky and calls forth an atmosphere charged with electricity, raining down countless lightning bolts, each one too much for the target to withstand, finally bringing them to their knees * Beloved ★5 Knight of Veda, Anais returns to answer your call. - The beloved “Anais” makes her return to Call of the Stars. - “Anais” is a Fire-type Ranged Healer wielding a Wand & Orb. Anais is a healer who sacrifices a portion of her HP to boost ATK while simultaneously reviving vulnerable allies during her attacks. * Rise to new heights by promoting your Legendary (5★) Knights of Veda and Weapons to Mythic (6★)! - “Mythic Promotion” allows Legendary (5★) Knights of Veda or Weapons to be upgraded to Mythic tier by clearing missions specific to each Knight and Weapon. - Promoting your Knights and Weapons to Mythic will have their basic stats increase in addition to obtaining Mythic Skills. - Mythic Promotion increases the potency of each character by giving them “Mythic Skills” that lean more into their individual strengths. - Among the Knights eligible, the Mythic Promotion for the Knight of Veda “Eliyar” will be added in a future update.
