Netmarble is making moves again with the release of 2 new hype characters for the global version of their popular ACGN turn-based RPG Seven Deadly Sins: Grand Cross in the Dark Wing Festival! The update was released on the English version on 26th May. Let’s take a look at the details of this update!

This update gives all the information on the Dark Wing Festival Draw Event as well as some new heroes and skins. Magic Pacifier Fiend Mage Chandler and Demon King’s Deputy Executioner Zeldris are scheduled to release with their select banner. Along with their banners, costume sets for both of the new heroes will also be available to buy. The Holy War Festival has also begun with new events on the way! Let’s take a detailed look at the update.

Pacifier Mage Chandler and Executioner Zeldris

Pacifier Mage Chandler and Executioner Zeldris are the 2 new SSR heroes coming to 7DS: Grand Cross. Pacifier Mage Chandler is a Blue attribute Speed-type champion who specializes in attacking and debuffing enemies. His main usage is his taunt stances and his ability to seal ultimate bars with his Dragon Claw skill.  His passive Darkness allows him to decrease all enemies’ base stats by 7% for 1 turn if they use any skills in PvP. This passive gets active the moment he enters a battle.

Let’s study his skills a bit more in detail:-

1. Dragon Claw

Rank 1: Inflicts damage equal to 160% of Attack on one enemy and blocks all skill effects including those of Ultimate Moves for 1 turn(s). (Excludes Stances and Recovery Skills)

Rank 2: Inflicts damage equal to 240% of Attack on one enemy and blocks all skill effects including those of Ultimate Moves for 1 turn(s). (Excludes Stances and Recovery Skills)

Rank 3: Inflicts damage equal to 400% of Attack on one enemy and blocks all skill effects including those of Ultimate Moves for 2 turn(s). (Excludes Stances and Recovery Skills)

2. Full Counter

Rank 1: Assumes a Stance for 1 turn(s) which Taunts enemies and inflicts damage equal to 200% of Attack when taking attacks. Increases damage dealt by 50% of damage taken.

Rank 2: Assumes a Stance for 1 turn(s) which Taunts enemies and inflicts damage equal to 300% of Attacks when taking attacks. Increases damage dealt by 70% of damage taken.

Rank 3: Assumes a Stance for 2 turn(s) which Taunts enemies and inflicts damage equal to 450% of Attacks when taking attacks. Increases damage dealt by 100% of damage taken.

3. Meteor Works (Ultimate Move)

Inflicts Charge damage equal to 455% of Attacks on all enemies. His multipliers increase by the following: 455/501/546/592/637/683%

His Association effects can be unlocked by pairing him with The Dragon Sin of Wraith Meliodas (DEFENSE +340), Knight of Wraith Meliodas (ATTACK +280), New Legend Meliodas (ATTACK +280), The Ten Commandments Zeldris (ATTACK +280), Elite Demon Zeldris (ATTACK +280), The Ten Commandments Estarossa (Critical Hit Damage +23.8%), and Elite Demon Estarossa (Critical Hit Damage +23.8%)

Executioner Zeldris, on the other hand, is an Attack Type champion who specializes in suppressing ultimate bars of enemies by reducing them and reducing HP-related stats with his ultimate move Demonic Zone. Zeldris also can dish out massive single target damage with his first skill Black Road, which has a built-in Cleave mechanic. Cleave deals additional damage equal to half of the Critical Hit Damage. His passive, Scent of Death, increases the base stats of all allies by 2% for each debuff applied to enemies for up to a total of 20% increase on being used 10 times. His commandment is called the Commandment of Piety and states if a Critical Hit Strike is made from any skill then the Critical Hit Damage and Critical Hit Chance of the user will be decreased by 10%. This condition applies to both enemies and allies but excludes Death Match content. This commandment can stack up to 3 times.

Let’s study his skillset in more details:

1. Black Road

Rank 1: Inflicts Cleave damage, which does not activate Crit Damage, equal to 200% of Attack on one enemy.

Rank 2: Inflicts Cleave damage, which does not activate Crit Damage, equal to 300% of Attack on one enemy.

Rank 3: Inflicts Cleave damage, which does not activate Crit Damage, equal to 500% of Attack on one enemy.

2. Demonic Zone

Rank 1: Applies an effect that depletes Ultimate Move Gauges by 1 orb(s) at the end of the enemy’s turn on all enemies for 1 turn(s).

Rank 2: Applies an effect that depletes Ultimate Move Gauges by 2 orb(s) at the end of the enemy’s turn on all enemies for 1 turn(s), then restricts the use of Ultimate Move(s).

Rank 3: Applies an effect that depletes Ultimate Move Gauges by 2 orb(s) at the end of the enemy’s turn on all enemies for 2 turn(s), then restricts the use of Ultimate Move(s)

The Fight Festival Victory Event is a new event that rewards players based on the number of victories in the Vaizel PvP Fight Festival. This event is divided into separate weeks and the victories in different weeks do not count towards the other week, hence, we recommend players to play matches every week to complete the event and do not overdo the PvP on the 1st week itself as it will not count towards the coming weeks. Apart from this event, a Fight Festival Point Boosting Event is also scheduled to take place at the same time which boosts the number of points received for winning by 50% in the Vaizel PvP Fight Festival.

Players will also experience a buff provided by Netmarble across the Global and Asian servers! The buffs are as follows:-

1. Hero Enhance Super and Ultra Success Rate Increase.
2. Salvage Super and Ultra Success rate increase.
