Trust me, you won’t want to miss out on these pulls!

But wait, there’s even more excitement in Version 2.0! We’re talking Companion Missions, new Light Cones, Relic Sets, and double drop events. Plus, if you log in daily, you’ll score some sweet rewards. So get ready to embark on a whole new journey when Version 2.0 drops on Tuesday, February 6. See you in the stars, Trailblazers!
