Just a few short weeks after Ash Echoes arrived globally on Android and iOS, Noctua Games's smash hit gacha RPG is getting its first major update. Version 1.1 of the game, dubbed Tomorrow is a Blooming Day, has a surprising twist: the "Blooming Day" actually occurred last Thursday when the update was released. The accompanying event will run until December 26th.
Before diving into the details of this event, let's provide some background for newcomers. Ash Echoes is an interdimensional RPG featuring gacha mechanics and real-time combat. The game is set in the year 1116, following the emergence of a vast and ominous rift known as the Skyrift Passage over northern Hailin City. This rift unleashes massive destruction and opens portals to other realms. Amidst this chaos, mysterious new superbeings called Echomancers have emerged.
In Ash Echoes, you play as the director of S.E.E.D, an organization tasked with studying these Echomancers. Your role involves summoning these superbeings and deploying them into visually stunning and tactically challenging battles with significant narrative outcomes.
Now, let's explore what Tomorrow Is a Blooming Day brings to the game. While Ash Echoes already boasts a roster of powerful and beautifully animated Echomancers, version 1.1 introduces two new 6-star Echomancers, each with unique abilities and rich backstories. Meet Scarlett, a motorbike-riding, shotgun-wielding femme fatale dressed in crimson pirate attire, and Baili Tusu, a noble sword-wielding warrior.
To experience the new content, log in to pull the "Target Tracing" Scarlett Memory Trace, which includes a potent Scarlett's Trace Awakening Skill, available until December 26th. Starting December 12th, you can also summon Baili Tusu to join the fray.
Additionally, the update introduces a limited-time gameplay event called Float Parade. In this event, Scarlett and Baili Tusu drive floats through a parade, collecting gifts and completing collection tasks to earn limited-time furniture and special interactions.
