The latest update to STING’s Viractal: Will You Trust Your Party?<\/strong> sees new character Sword Maiden Yggdra, a new challenging stage Sky Harmonia+, and the Instant Card system added in version 1.3.0.

Bahoko\u2019s Otherworld Summoning returns for the second time, allowing characters to summon Sword Maiden Yggdra into the world of Viractal. Yggdra is the Princess of the Kingdom of Fantasinia and wielder of hope itself. She joins as a support-focused character who can empower her entire party while also joining the fray at the front lines with her holy sword, Gran Centurio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She comes with a unique passive ability called Union, which allows players to coordinate elemental attributes with allies to increase her offensive power, allowing her to be both a strong support character as well as a character who can pack a punch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yggdra\u2019s signature trump card, Crusade, which combines the attack power of every ally\u2019s hand into a devastating finishing blow, reflecting her theme of turning unity into strength.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A new hard mode stage has also been introduced. Sky Harmonia+ is an endgame stage designed for adventures looking to challenge their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Set among the clouds and following Dragon\u2019s Garden+, Sky Marmonia+ introduces players to a new gameplay mechanic called Ambush Tiles. Enemies on specifically colored tiles will launch preemptive attacks before players can act, requiring players to consider their pathing and strategy before proceeding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Version 1.30.0 also gives players access to Instant Cards, a new category of Skill Cards identified by a diamond symbol at the end of their names. While they can not be upgraded, Instant Cards offer significantly stronger effects compared to standard Skill Cards and are permanently removed from the deck after use.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
