Story and new areas

The Trailblaze Mission "Planarcadia — Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars" is permanently available (Trailblaze Level 21; finishing "Astropolis — Dance With the Beast Before Moonrise" first is recommended). It brings two new areas: the Starfroster, the Mourning Actors' touring showboat built by Aha, and Moment of Joy.

New character: Aeon ★ Aha

Aeon ★ Aha (5★ Elation, Quantum) grants ascension to the Path of Elation: Elation characters obtain their Innate Traces and unlock new abilities. Aha leads the new Aha Instant (higher base SPD, faster performance), and THEIR Aeonic Authority lets ally DMG suppress enemy Max HP. The kit in detail: our Aeon ★ Aha preview.

• 5★ Light Cone "Upon the First Echo of 'Aha'", in the Light Cone Event Warp "Brilliant Fixation: Upon the First Echo of 'Aha'".
• 4★ Light Cone "See You at the World's End!": free at Superimposition 5 by completing the Version 4.7 Trailblaze Mission.
