Mualani: The Wave Rider of Roaring Seas
As with every new region’s debut, the first character to be introduced will be a Hydro user. This time, it’s Mualani, a Hydro character whose weapon remains a mystery.
- Title: Wave Rider of Roaring Seas
- Guiding Light of the Meztli
- Vision and Constellation: Hydro / Phoca Neomonachus
Character Background
Mualani has already earned a prominent reputation across Natlan. With her at the helm, players can expect to witness the breathtaking sights of volcanic eruptions, inhale the refreshing scent of Embercore flowers, and even experience impromptu performances by Koholasaurs herds.
In emergencies or when time is of the essence, Mualani is known for finding the safest and most efficient shortcuts to any destination.
Kinich: The Hunter of Reminiscent Flames
Introduction
The second five-star character arriving in version 5.0 is Kinich, a Dendro user who is anticipated to wield a claymore.
- Title: Hunter of Reminiscent Flames
- Dinosaur Hunters of Huitztlán
- Vision and Constellation: Dendro / Chimaera Alebriius
Character Background
In Natlan, a land where humans and dinosaurs coexist in harmony, dinosaur hunters like Kinich are often viewed with suspicion. Despite being in a land full of heroes, the practice of setting commissions and prices makes the profession even more controversial.
Kinich is described as a ruthless, pragmatic, and utilitarian hunter, often spoken of in harsh and condemning terms. Yet, he remains silent in the face of such descriptions.
Regardless of the negativity, Kinich’s skills are undeniable. As long as the price is right, he ensures all commissions are completed satisfactorily. Aberrants are returned to the Nocturnal Realm from whence they came once Kinich, known by the name Turnfire, sets his sights on a target.
