“The Exquisite Night Chimes” Version 3.4 Update Details

I. New Area

New Area “Desert of Hadramaveth” Now Available

The desert’s border stretches on. Legend has it that between the countless scimitar-shaped ravines that cut across the desert plain, a lost city of old lies hidden with a wandering tribe seeking refuge in its ruins. Perhaps among the incessant sandstorms that seem to erode all things encompassed by history, a story lost in time awaits to be uncovered…

• New Area: In Version 3.4, the area, Desert of Hadramaveth in the Sumeru region will be available.
• New Daily Commissions in the Desert of Hadramaveth have been added. In addition, there will be new Fishing Points and “Radiant Spincrystals” in this new area.

II. New Characters

5-Star Character “Admonishing Instruction” Alhaitham (Dendro)

• Vision: Dendro
• Weapon: Sword
• The current scribe of the Sumeru Akademiya, a man endowed with extraordinary intelligence and talent. He lives free — free from the searching eyes of ordinary people, anyway.

Elemental Skill “Universality: An Elaboration on Form”

• Using his Elemental Skill “Universality: An Elaboration on Form,” Alhaitham rushes forward. Holding the skill enters Aiming Mode to adjust the direction of Alhaitham’s rush attack, dealing Dendro DMG to nearby opponents when the rush ends, causing a Chisel-Light Mirror to form.
• When he possesses Chisel-Light Mirrors, Alhaitham’s Normal, Charged, and Plunging Attacks will be converted to Dendro DMG that cannot be overridden. When attacks of the aforementioned kinds hit opponents, the Chisel-Light Mirrors will unleash a Projection Attack that deals AoE Dendro DMG based on the number of Mirrors on the field. The Chisel-Light Mirrors will disappear one after the other over time, and will all disappear when Alhaitham leaves the field.

Elemental Burst “Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena”

• Using his Elemental Burst “Particular Field: Fetters of Phenomena,” Alhaitham creates a Particular Binding Field and deals multiple instances of AoE Dendro DMG.
• If Chisel-Light Mirrors exist when this ability is unleashed, all such Mirrors will be consumed and increase the number of DMG instances dealt. 2s after this ability is unleashed, if 0/1/2/3 Mirrors were consumed, Alhaitham will generate 3/2/1/0 new Mirrors in turn.

4-Star Character “Burgeoning Grace” Yaoyao (Dendro)

• Vision: Dendro
• Weapon: Polearm
• Streetward Rambler’s youngest disciple. A gentle and caring “little adult.”

Elemental Skill “Raphanus Sky Cluster”

• Using her Elemental Skill “Raphanus Sky Cluster,” Yaoyao calls upon “Yuegui: Throwing Mode.” Yuegui: Throwing Mode” throws out White Jade Radishes that will explode upon hitting characters or opponents, dealing Dendro DMG to opponents within a certain AoE, and healing characters within that same AoE based on Yaoyao’s Max HP.
• If a radish does not hit either an opponent or a character, the radish will remain where it is and explode on contact with a character or opponent, or will explode after its duration expires.

Elemental Burst “Moonjade Descent”

• Using her Elemental Burst “Moonjade Descent,” Yaoyao summons “Yuegui: Jumping Mode” at intervals until their limit has been reached. White Jade Radishes generated by Yuegui: Jumping Mode will heal all nearby party members, and the Dendro DMG that they deal will be viewed as Elemental Burst DMG.
• The Adeptal Legacy state will also increase Yaoyao’s SPD and Dendro RES. The Adeptal Legacy state will end once Yaoyao is off-field, and all remaining Yuegui: Jumping Mode will be cleared once this state ends.

III. New Domains

Domain: Fane of Panjvahe

• The significance of oases lies in the embrace of the desert. The oasis dwellers have never been oblivious to this. Thus did the ancestors in Gurabad build the hermitage for the Lord of Desert. Through the sandstorm-shrouded past and present, this hermitage has become an asylum for countless desert dwellers, among whom are some bandits as well…

Unlock Criteria:

• Reach Adventure Rank 28 or above and fulfill certain criteria.
• Challenge the Domain to obtain rewards such as Primogems and Dendro Sigils.

Domain: City of the Deceased

• The then-lords of Gurabad regarded death as the only path to the desert’s sacred destination. In order to prevent the wretched from defiling this pilgrimage, they buried the unnamed tomb deep underground… But now, this place has become nothing but a paradise for Wenut and Fungi.

Unlock Criteria:

• Reach Adventure Rank 32 or above and fulfill certain criteria.
• Challenge the Domain to obtain rewards such as Primogems and Dendro Sigils.
