The Amphoreus journey is over, but it’s not the time yet to go on a new adventure. Instead, the Astral Express and the Trailblazer will be returning to Penacony in Version 3.8 and the Finality Mission: Memories are the Prelude to Dreams.
“Tie lies dormant in the ashes, waiting to awaken. Turn the hand of destiny and write anew the prologue for the lost memories.”
There are some loose threads and unanswered questions regarding Penacony that need their conclusions. As it turns out in V3.8, the Trailblazers memories had been stolen, leaving some of the most important matters hidden, such as who “killed” Robin, what did the Dream Master, Mr. Gopher Wood, planned, and much more.
This is where Constance, The Dahlia, of the Everflame Mansion, steps in. As an ex-Memokeeper and a Cremator, she can rekindle and restore lost memories, the abilities that she will offer to the Trailblazer. With her help, we will be able to unveil what really happened in Penacony, and what journey was undertaken by Firefly.
In the trailer below, you can see a lot of familiar characters making their appearances: Sparkle, Black Swan, Robin, Silver Wolf, Firefly, and more.
During the adventures, players will visit a new location, Dream of the Gnawing Oak, and have a chance to clash with a new boss enemy: Harbinger of Death: Swarm Nightmare, a horrific fusion of SAM and the Swarm King bosses. All the mechanics you’ve disliked, now wrapped in one package.
Version 3.8 will run for 8 weeks instead of the usual 6. To make up for it, the patch will receive more events and more rerun banners in addition to the brand-new 5-star, The Dahlia.

The Dahlia, a five-star character following the Path of Nihility, excels when teamed up with characters who specialize in Break DMG. On the battlefield, she can actively unleash a gloomy Zone. While this Zone lasts, Toughness Reduction inflicted by allies can trigger Super Break DMG, even before the enemies have their Weakness Broken.
Additionally, as a graceful and elegant dancer, The Dahlia invites a teammate to become “Dance Partners.” After either of the two Dance Partners attacks an enemy target, they will deal an additional instance of Super Break DMG. On that foundation, her Ultimate applies every Dance Partner’s Type Weakness to all enemies, enhancing Toughness Reduction effectiveness.
