WARRIORS: Abyss News

This update introduces two features that allow you to challenge yourself at even higher difficulty levels. The first is the addition is "Traversal Level 6," which you can take on with characters with which you have cleared Traversal Level 5 with more stringent conditions. While playing at Traversal Level 6, meeting certain conditions allows you to challenge a new form of the final boss. The second element is a new game mode called "Depths of Torment," which is unlocked after beating the game once. This mode is a high-difficulty mode designed for players who have completed the game, allowing them to challenge a new hell alongside the heroes from the regular mode. Depending on your results, you can earn a new item called "Records of Sin," so be sure to give it a try! Additionally, as a new feature unlocked after clearing the game, we've added "Change Music," which allows you to freely set the playlist of songs played on each floor. The selection of songs increases as you earn more "Achievements."

Additionally, with this update, characters from the "SAMURAI WARRIORS" series, including Mature Yukimura Sanada, Chacha, Ginchiyo Tachibana, Muneshige Tachibana, Yoshihiro Shimazu, Toyohisa Shimazu, and Motochika Chosokabe, will be added as playable characters. The inclusion of these characters, each with unique abilities, will further expand the range of strategies available.

[h3]Traversal Level 6 Added![/h3]
With heroes who have cleared Traversal Level 5, you can challenge even stricter conditions for completion. Additionally, after clearing certain sections, the "Thorns of Fixation" will appear, and by pulling three of these, you can challenge the new form of the final boss.

[h3]New game-mode "Depths of Torment" implemented![/h3]
This mode allows you to save your heroes from when you clear the normal mode and challenge a new higher-difficulty hell with them. This hell is endlessly deep, and even heroes who have defeated the Gouma will find it challenging to conquer. Depending on the results of your run, you can earn a new item called the "Record of Sin," which can be used for character growth. Assemble what you believe to be the strongest team and challenge this hell as many times as you’d like!

[h3]"Change Music" feature added![/h3]
Once you clear the game in normal mode, this feature is unlocked, allowing you to freely set the playlist of songs played on each level. The selection of available songs can be expanded by earning "Achievements."

[h3]Seven characters from” SAMURAI WARRIORS” arrive![/h3]
Seven new heroes will be added: “Mature Yukimura Sanada,” “Chacha,” “Ginchiyo Tachibana,” “Muneshige Tachibana,” “Yoshihiro Shimazu,” “Toyohisa Shimazu,” and “Motochika Chosokabe.”

Mature Yukimura Sanada
The Unique Strategy "Japan's Greatest Warrior" has strict activation conditions, but it increases the attack power of heroes with the Emblems "Sanada," "Skill," and "Wisdom" by 100%. Additionally, the Player Hero Trait "Sanada's Strategies" boosts attack power against enemies in a burning state by 50%. Furthermore, every six levels, it grants one of the emblems, making it a powerful ability. Note that since this character is the same as the regular Yukimura Sanada, if you control or form an alliance with one, the other will not appear.

Chacha
The Unique Strategy "Proud Princess" increases the defense of heroes with the emblems "Toyotomi" and "Azai" by 70%. Its activation conditions are easy to meet, significantly enhancing stability from the early to mid-game. The emblems possessed are also applicable to Mature Yukimura Sanada's Unique Strategy, and the activation conditions can be fulfilled, making them highly compatible.

Ginchiyo Tachibana
The Unique Strategy "Sword of Lightning" can increase Bolt emblems’ attack power by 100%, making it a powerful effect that is highly desirable for builds centered around the "Bolt" emblem.

Muneshige Tachibana
The Unique Strategy "Bravest Warrior of Chinzei" increases the attack power of heroes with the emblems "Western Region" and "Strength" by 50%. Since it affects a wide range of heroes, it is expected to be useful in various situations.

Yoshihiro Shimazu
The Unique Strategy "Demon Shimazu" increases the attack power against enemy barriers by 100% for heroes with the "Western Region" emblem, making it highly effective when playing with heroes from the "Western Region."

Toyohisa Shimazu
The Unique Strategy "Sacrificial Gambit" increases the attack power against enemy barriers by 100% for heroes with the "Master Gunner" Emblem. Since he and Yoshihiro Shimazu are mutually affected by each other's Unique Strategies, deploying both simultaneously is effective.

Motochika Chosokabe
The Unique Strategy "Music of the Young Demon" increases attack power by 100% during Assemble. The activation requires the emblems "Skill" and "Speed," without needing any special emblems, and its effect applies to any hero, making it versatile for any formation.
