A new update to ASTRA: Knights of Veda will be released on August 22, 2024!
Read below to find out more about what this update will bring to the game.
■ Update
* A new 5★ Knight of Veda “Gabi” will now be available!
“Hi, there! You look so, SO strong and invincible! Let’s fight!”
A girl with a relentless quest for strength. During her transformation into an Enchanted Warrior, she lost her memory and forgot why she wanted to be strong. But one thing is for sure: fighting the strongest is the most fun in the world! Today, Gabi still bounces around, excited to see someone strong enough to challenge her, someone who is "super strong and invincible"
- Gabi is a Blood-type Melee Dealer who wields a large axe to inflict Bleed on enemies. She is extremely powerful against bleeding targets. · Her Normal Skill “Fight me!” sends enemies flying with her large axe and inflicts Wound Aggravation to increase Bleed DMG. · Gabi’s Signature Skill “How About This?” causes the large axe to spin around her body, inflicting Bleed on enemies it hits and dealing powerful additional Blood DMG to enemies who are already bleeding to claim victory.
* New content: Ancient Golden City - Travel to the ancient kingdom of Neejarem with the completed King's Medallion and stop the desires of the corrupt Boden Caryen and the Five Guardians of the Crown who guard him to obtain the “Weapons of Genesis” and materials for Relic Engraving. This content is a Unit Battle-based content with high difficulty. - “Unit Battles” are battles in which your Knights of Veda are organized similarly as in the “Black Mutation” areas.
- The “Ancient Golden City” can be accessed in Chapter 7 of the Adventure Zone after completing the World Quest “Intact King's Medallion” which will be available after completing the quest “The Identity of the Fragment”, clearing the Sealed Prisons and completing the fifth floor of the Tower of Trials. - In “Ancient Golden City,” a total of five Knights of Veda start battle at the same time, one of which you can select and control. - The founder of Neejarem, Boden Caryen, and the Five Guardians of the Crown who guard him await you in the six stages of adventure in the kingdom. After completing the scenario that takes place upon your initial entry into the Ancient Golden City, you will now be able to participate in a free progression mode where there are weekly progress rewards and the difficulty can be freely changed. - In “Ancient Golden City,” attribute resistance does not activate and the Overflowing Power of the Stars mechanic is disabled. - When you defeat the boss of the “Ancient Golden City”, you will be able to receive “Galactic Bliss”, which allows you to acquire the new piece of equipment, “Weapon of Genesis” and also materials for Relic Engraving. - “Weapon of Genesis” and “Galactic Bliss” can also be obtained as weekly progress rewards, with higher difficulties allowing you to earn more of them.
* New Equipment: “Weapon of Genesis” - "Weapon of Genesis" is a remnant of a weapon created at the beginning of time–a special piece of equipment that can be combined with your weapon. Equipping a “Weapon of Genesis” that matches your weapon’s type will greatly improve the performance of your Knights of Veda. - “Weapon of Genesis” can be obtained by using “Galactic Bliss” in the new “Ancient Golden City” gamemode and on Guidance of the Goddess under “Furnace of Genesis”. - “Galactic Bliss” can be obtained in the new “Ancient Golden City” gamemode. - “Weapon of Genesis” can be equipped by going to the Book menu and checking under the “Equipment” tab.
* New System: Relic Engraving - One Random option among those on a high level relic can be strengthened through Relic Engraving. · [Highest Level Relic condition by grade] - 5★ Relic : Level 20 - 4★ Relic : Level 16 - 3★ Relic : Level 12 - When re-engraving an upgraded Relic, the strengthened stats are reset and one random stat among those on the Relic will then be strengthened. - Relic Engraving can be done without restrictions. - The option values that are possible to be enhanced through Relic Engraving are the same as the option values that are on the Enhanced Relic. - The cost of the engraving increases by up to 100,000 Gold depending on the number of engraving attempts.

Chests that have already been opened by your other Guild members cannot be re-opened. - Various rewards can be obtained from the Treasure Chests that appear after the defeat of the “Fearsome Treasure Chest”, these include the newly added “Mascot” feature. - Acquired Mascots can be checked in the Belle menu, and the equipped Mascot will follow the Master of the Book.

In PVP, you now automatically Vault if you can afford to when you click the Fight button, since there is no downside to doing so in PVP (as it only returns more Star Points than you invested). If you have the "Save For Later" perk, this is functionality is disabled.
Fixed an issue related to the event reward "Herb-Crusted Pot Pie"
The Homebrew achievement is now earnable with Drafted characters, but the Drafted character must be different from one of the premade default characters in some way.
Fixed keybinding changes not saving for many players.
Removed an old difficulty modifier that is no longer in use from the Difficulty screen's custom modifier list.
Fixed an issue where in the case of an extremely packed board, generated entities like the Marksman dummy could spawn on the wrong team's side of the board.
Fixed Potions being cleared from Morphlings when they change into new units.
Added a niche prevention to using Potions with the Enchanted Flask perk on Morph-o-minions before they have turned into a Unit - since you can't own a Morph-o-minion, this action is now prevented in that specific case.
Fixed the Privileged Position perk secretly reducing the SP cost of Mythics by 1
Fixed the Weighed Down negative perk not functioning
Fixed a minor visual issue with the enemy side hex tile appearance when loading into the Hexatach Labs table.
Fixed an issue where Cloning Capsule would sometimes stop functioning.
Morphlings holding a Cloning Capsule will now generate another Morphling instead of the unit the Morphling is cloning.
Adding some video setting safeguards to force certain settings to their current standards on launch, ones that have been removed from the video settings menu such as Resolution Scale. This would sometimes result in users who played before those options were removed having them permanently stuck to their previous values (most commonly resulting in excessively blurry textures)
Fixed a Spirit ghost holding a Receiving Ring, and a Spirit Unit on board holding a Giving Ring, creating a negation loop and resulting in a permanently unkillable army. This fix also extends to other situations where the holder of the Receiving Ring is in a state of being non-targetable and invulnerable, such as the Stasis effect.
Removed the "PVPGuy" default name. New players will need to type in a name to play PVP. PVPGuy is temporarily banned as an acceptable name because we are getting too many entries of that name in our server.
Fixed Skeleton double-revive perk carrying into future runs on the same session.
Fixed Chronometrics' faster Overtime effect carrying over into future runs on the same session.
When starting an Instant Start run on Highest CC difficulty setting, and you are advancing upward to new Challenge Climb stages you have not been to before, a pop-up will appear informing you of the new effects. This prevents players who exclusively used Instant Start from never seeing the Challenge Climb effects as they climbed.
Fixed the Combat speed display visually resetting in between fights, though this was only a UI visual, the fight speed remained what you had previously set it to.
Fixed the Vault and Rerolls unlocks not enabling their respective UI elements as of Hotfix 8
Fixed an issue where benched units could benefit from certain end-of-combat proc effects, such as the Cloning Capsule.
Fixed minor visual display issue with Army Size indicator when starting the 2nd run of a session
Fixed minor visual display issue when playing a PVE run after a PVP run.
Fixed an issue where Pilot Dave's Airship Idle sound would turn off.
Reworded the Crop Rotation perk description to be a bit more clear.
When making a bug report from the pause menu, the screenshot will now display the game screen rather than the pause menu.
