Meet the new five-star heroes: Hyacine and Cipher
Two
new five-star characters
have been added to the roster, each potentially having unique mechanics capable of reshaping modern team compositions.
Hyacine is a Wind-type character that adheres to the Path of Remembrance and provides support and sustain. Her summoned companion, Little Ica, heals while dealing damage. Hyacine's ability to increase max HP and restore large amounts of health makes her a strong contender against healers like Luocha or Gallagher, especially in teams built around HP-scaling characters.
Cipher, though, belongs to the Path of Nihility and wields the Quantum element. She excels in long engagements, marking her target with the most HP. Cipher would play in torturing a target through accumulating damage and finally unleashing a devastating ultimate based on what the target has so far.
