Masters of the Book,

As time swiftly passes, we now stand at the threshold of winter. We hope you wrap up the rest of 2025 well and enjoy the holidays with ASTRA: Knights of Veda by your side.

In the upcoming 11/27 update, Bliss Foxy, a traveler who has crossed many worlds under many faces makes her debut. When she chose Edward as the axis to stand against her enemies, she donned the mask of Aurora to remain by his side. Upon the Holy See’s betrayal of Edward, the mask of Aurora was torn away, severing the bond that had long connected them.

To protect Edward, humanity’s final hope and the one who holds the power to save the world.. no, to protect Shadow Howl, Bliss Foxy’s desperate battle begins.

This update also brings a revamp to the Ancient Golden City, Mythic Promotion for Weapons of Genesis and the return of Tower of Trials. In addition, to celebrate Black Friday, a couple of packages will be available for your purchase.

Many other events will also be available, so we hope you’ll take part and enjoy them all.

Lastly, please note that due to an internal engine upgrade in this update, the download size may temporarily increase. We kindly ask for your understanding as this is to ensure the game’s continued stability for the coming updates.

More details for this update will be available below:

■ Knights of Veda
* New name, same purpose. 5★ Knight of Veda Bliss Foxy comes to Call of the Stars!

“My mission is to uncover the world's truth.”

Bliss Foxy has walked the earth in many different disguises for a long time. Chosen to alter the world's future, she wants Shadow Howl to vanquish all evil and establish himself as the true king. Where her scythe slices through the truth, only one crown awaits

- Bliss Foxy is an Electric/Darkness dual-type Melee DPS who wields a large axe. All of her attacks deal additional DMG proportional to her ATK through the “Cunning Predator” effect, in addition, each time she attacks an enemy, attack-related effects are applied through “Fox's Hunting” with defense-related effects applied through “Fox's Vigilance” each time she gets hit. Her Normal Skill “Tempest Strike” allows her to dash toward enemies and deliver a downward strike while her Signature Skill “Wild Lightning Dance” teleports her to her enemies which she then slashes repeatedly with her scythe before delivering an additional blow with a descending lightning strike.

- Bliss Foxy, alongside her Signature Weapon “Fox's Fang,” can be obtained via Call of the Stars. While her Signature “Twisted Truth's Halo” and her Signature  “El Cid of Unavoidable End” 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.

* The Executioner returns, 5★ Knight of Veda Celestia is coming back to Call of the Stars!

- Celestia is a Poison-Attribute Melee Healer who uses a Great Axe. Her passive “Soul Harvest” allows her to heal the ally with the lowest health whenever she hits an enemy. Her Normal Skill “Soul Separation Ritual” deals damage to enemies in front of her and applies buffs such as Reduce DMG and Ignore RES to the rest of the party. Her Signature Skill, “Rest From Death,” inflicts AoE damage and grants the “Immortal” effect alongside Wound related buffs.

- Celestia, alongside her Signature Weapon “Silent Stigmata,” can be obtained via Call of the Stars. While her Signature “Soul Harvesting Halo” and her Signature El Cid “Silent Condemnation” 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.
