Etheria: Restart Adds Two New Characters Today
Kokardi and Mizusumi Aya join the fray
Shanghai, China — September 30, 2025 | XD Games is excited to unveil two powerful new SSR Animus units, Kokardi and Mizusumi Aya in Etheria: Restart. These additions enhance the season's strategic landscape, coinciding with the launch of the Animus Popularity Vote today, offering players a chance to win exclusive rewards.
Introducing the New Animus
Kokardi (Emberweave)
Representing the Hydra Bank faction, Kokardi is an elegant, predatory AoE DMG dealer. Untargetable while allies are alive, he stacks the [Calamity Flame] effect to ramp up damage, making him essential for prolonged battles and RTA team compositions. His mysterious persona hints at Hydra Bank's shadowy financial dealings. Though impeccably dressed, he exudes the predatory stillness of a stalking beast, a man who, at a single glance, is undeniably dangerous.
Check out the Kokardi announcement cinematic below:
Mizusumi Aya (Resonant Sound)
From DOKI Entertainment, Mizusumi Aya is a proud recorder virtuoso turned support powerhouse. With team-wide cleansing, healing, Skill CD reduction, and Turn Meter boosts, she supports players in uncovering the truth behind her parents' death at Shan Hoi Enterprise's hands, adding depth to DOKI's corporate intrigue. It wasn't until the death of her beloved parents that she realized a sinister hand was at play. Now, for the first time, she desires to do something unrelated to her recorder: uncover the truth behind her parents' death and make the one responsible pay the price.
Banner Time
Players can pull for Kokardi (Emberweave) and Mizusumi Aya (Resonant Sound) during the limited-time banner event, running from October 2 to October 23, 2025.
Strategic Highlights and Lore
Kokardi's growth mechanics synergize with Hydra Bank debuffers, while Mizusumi Aya's utility rivals DOKI's top supports. Beta tests show Kokardi clearing DokiDoki waves 20% faster and Mizusumi Aya boosting team survival by 35% in RTA. Their lore ties into Etheria's conflicts - Hydra Bank's financial schemes and DOKI's espionage - teasing future events like a "Bank Heist" raid.
