Alchemy Stars, the hottest release from Tencent Games in the Gacha/RPG genre for 2021 has just started its latest limited-time event titled Gloom of the Night. The tile-based gacha game boasts its strategic gameplay and cute 3D chibi sprites of beautiful characters called “Aurorians”. Alchemy Stars always releases new Aurorians along with their limited-time events and to give all players a chance to know about their backstory.

Aurora Aeterna, the latest event by Alchemy Stars bought with it a new storyline for the event, new event-specific Aurorians Hachi and Gin, Hedy and Cordy. Players can receive a free Hachi and Gin by just logging in to the game through the Check-In Event. In this article, we will give a brief overview of the new Aurorians coming with the Aurora Aeterna event – Hachi and Gin, Hedy and Cordy. Hedy and Cordy, out of the 3 mentioned Aurorians are available to be summoned through their special time-limited recruitment. Players can summon for them using the Special Star Flares.

Alchemy Stars gacha/summoning system is very straightforward and player-friendly. Banners are divided into event/time-limited banners and regular/rotating banners. Each banner uses up a different currency to summon – Special Star Flares and Star Flares, respectively for each type of banner. These Star Flares can be bought by using the premium currency Lumambers at an exchange rate of 300 Lumamber per Star Flare/Special Star Flare. They can also be earned via events, compensations, log-in rewards, and achievements in-game. As Bethel and Luke are event Aurorians, they are available through their own time-limited banners. Players can summon them with the base rate of 2% just like any other 6-Star Aurorian in the game till 50 summons. After 50 summons, the rates will increase by 2.5% per summon for summoning a 6-Star Aurorian. There exists no pity for a specific character but at least players who have saved up enough summons can be assured to summon a 6-Star Aurorian with the rate up.

Hedy’s Active ability states she is able to teleport to a location and deal 250% damage to 1 column while knocking back all the enemies present.
