Drifting is a normal state. Each of us is a drifter in this sea of life, both physically and mentally, and spiritually. The wind is always blowing, and the waves are always hitting, pushing us to the unknown distance with its uncontrollable power. The world seems to always have no pauses, and every gust of wind and every wave carries the power of change. People keep looking, chasing, or escaping, but in the end, they have to face the irresistible fate. Just as the update brought by the 2.2 version of “Mingchao”, the new world belonging to the “drifter” is not only a symphony of battles and adventures, but also a journey for every drifter to find a place to belong in the wind and waves.
The appearance of Cantrela, this new character, seems to tell us that drifters are not just desperately pursuing the distance, but learning to find themselves in the process. In this world, it is often not those who are the winners who are prominent for a while who are qualified to be remembered, but those who still stick to their original intentions in the wind and waves of the years. Cantrela, the patriarch of the Fesalier family, is calm and decisive. Her sound sensor gently sways in her hand, not to hit the enemy, but to affect everything around her in a peculiar way. The jellyfish she summons, with an almost imperceptible threat, wander around the battlefield, providing damage support and healing for her teammates.
“The wind and waves never stop, but the mood remains the same.” Every action of Cantrela is like a silent ripple spreading out. She does not cause direct damage, but through close cooperation with teammates and the power of resonance, she gradually changes the situation. This style of play, like her inner peace, always operates silently, gradually accumulates, and finally gathers into a huge force. Her appearance may be a theme that “Mingchao” wants to express-you don’t always have to be a warrior who charges into battle. Sometimes, keeping calm and inner harmony can achieve true victory.
However, in contrast to Cantrela’s gentle but tenacious power, Chun appears. Chun, holding a swift knife, cuts everything on the battlefield like a sharp sword. Each of her attacks is accompanied by a deadly breath. The speed and power of the swift knife make Chun a feared existence for the enemy. Her cold eyes seem to have seen through the cruelty and ruthlessness of this world, so she no longer struggles and keeps moving forward. Chun is the kind of direct power. Her existence tells us that the only thing we can rely on in the face of this world is power itself. Under her swift knife, all enemies become dead branches that can be cut.
Chun’s fighting style is simple and direct, just like her personality. She has no pretense or procrastination. Every blow tells the enemy accurately: life and death are never the same thing, and only the winner can stand on the top of the wind. This fierce impact is like the choice we face in life. Sometimes, in the face of difficulties, the only choice is to rush forward with force and make the most decisive decision, rather than stop because of fear.
However, the shore guard forms a sharp contrast with Chun. The shore guard is the kind of power that silently sticks to the cause. He does not show off or shout, but just stands there quietly, like a beacon, guiding his teammates towards the light. His sound sensor is not as sharp as Chun’s Swift Blade, but is full of the power of comfort and protection. The shore guard takes on the defense and protection of the team. His power is not conspicuous, but plays a vital role at critical moments. His existence is not to grab the limelight, but to provide a stable shelter in a turbulent world.
The power he brings is very similar to those ordinary and great people in our lives. They may never show off their achievements, but they always silently dedicate themselves behind the scenes and protect the people around them. The role of the shore guard reminds us that true greatness does not require publicity and noise, but in a turbulent world, still sticking to one’s position and bringing security and support to others.
The appearance of the Wind Lord may be a further deepening of all this. The Wind Lord is not only a healer, but also a force that changes the situation of the battle. The addition of pneumatic attributes makes the ability of the Wind Lord more unique and powerful. The Wind Lord not only supports his teammates through treatment, but also transforms negative status into the team’s advantage through his own aerodynamic effects. The existence of wind is almost everywhere. The Wind Lord creates a joint force through cooperation with his teammates, which enhances the combat effectiveness of the entire team.
The exclusive weapon of the Wind Lord, “Blood Oath Covenant”, further strengthens this point. Every time he treats, the Wind Lord can bring additional gains to himself and his teammates, and when he casts the resonance skill, the effect of aerodynamic damage is greatly improved. This gain effect is like a never-ending wind wheel, pushing the entire team forward. The ability of the Wind Lord makes us understand that true power does not come from oneself alone, but from how to cooperate with others, and how to inadvertently gather all the power into an irresistible force.
With the update of version 2.2, the addition of wind erosion effect, and the appearance of the new sound shell suit “The Clouds of the Ending Sky”, the combat method of the entire game has also undergone profound changes. The aerodynamic damage bonus provided by the suit has brought the ability of the Wind Lord to a new height, and the entire combat system is therefore more three-dimensional and rich. The characters with pneumatic attributes seem to play a crucial role in the entire battle. Every action of theirs will inadvertently affect the direction of the battle and bring endless changes.
The setting of these characters is not only to improve the combat effectiveness, but also to integrate profound human thinking into the game. They may be cold or gentle, but each character shows the complexity of life at different levels. Just like every drifter in the ocean of life, facing the wind and waves, he is always making choices and changing constantly. Perhaps, the real belonging is not an island that never moves, but the power that can still find direction in the change.
In this world full of uncertainty, the only thing we can rely on is the belief deep in our hearts. And what “Mingchao” version 2.2 presents is a kind of cohesion of power, which may be gentle, fierce, protective, or subversive. Every drifter will eventually find his own direction in this turbulent ocean.
