Three new teammates from Seven Knights are now available, including:

• SSR+ [Phoenix Incarnate] Rachel (Green Element, Ranged, Spear Bearer) has the power of the Phoenix Blaze and specializes in inflicting Critical Hit upon her enemies.

The oldest of the Four Lords, she spends most of her time in the dream realm on a never-ending search for eternal rest.

Yeonhee used her powers to rid herself of things that disturbed her sleep and now seeks places to nap in the Tower of God.

• SSR [Infernal Blademaster] Shane (Green Element, Warrior, Scout) is a master of the Demon Slaying Arts and 100 Ghost Chaotic Dance skill.  As a blademaster within the Crusaders, she received demonic powers to get revenge on the demons that massacred her family. Shane was a volunteer for a highly dangerous experiment that involved injecting humans with demonic power, and now wields that power to serve her quest for vengeance.

Included in this game update are Ignition Weapons (consists of 5 parts and 3 ranks), allowing players to become stronger by utilizing these new equipment. Four designs are available including Myeongwol, Bergamot, El and Runda. These new weapons can be earned by entering the new Secret Floor content.
