Two Transcendence Classes, Special Agent Mei and Pyromaniac Yuri, are now available in Class Decoders and Premium Class Decoders.
- Special Agent Mei
- Background: Mei is a Chinese-born special agent who works for the Intelligence Agency and is trained in high-level combat. Most recently, she had been assigned to assist a fellow agent, but has found this difficult. In a turn of events that wrecked her resume, Mei has been unable to track her target due to their masterful disguise. When she discovered that the troublesome pyromaniac that had been terrorizing the world was actually the agent that she had been told to support, Mei became extremely conflicted, but carried on. Still struggling to find the pyromaniac agent, she eventually received intel that they had met up with David's company, so now Mei is on the move again to finally provide support.
- Paired Weapon: Dual Sword Phantom Slayer
- Feast's activation time has been decreased, and damage increased.
