In the windy land of Mingchao, the horn of version 2.1 is quietly blown. Just like the first fishing fire on the quiet coast at night, just like the bell in the mist under the moon, between the familiar and the unknown, two new names are quietly brought by the wind and tide-Phoebe and Brent. They are not the chasers of the waves, but the pen that will write the waves, and the players are waiting to hold this pen and draw a new chapter of destiny.
Linaxi Tower is about to be revealed. It is a new country, a deepening of the worldview, and a larger chessboard laid by the narrator. At the beginning of this updated version, in front of this “tower” that symbolizes further exploration and the starting point of civilization, we ushered in the specific information of the card pool of Mingchao version 2.1. It not only marks the appearance of new characters, but also a reconstruction of systems and rhythms, power and emotions.
New card pool: Who will compete with you when the tide surges?
The latest information from Mapleaf, a whistleblower in the Mingchao community, shows that the card pool of version 2.1 is divided into two phases.
In the first half of the card pool, the new character Phoebe appears, a five-star diffraction attribute user, with a sound sensor as her weapon. Her identity not only symbolizes the further deepening of the diffraction gameplay, but also marks the embodiment of the new music mechanism in battle. Music is not only a medium in her attack, but also the damage itself, and the source of power that drives the soul to beat with rhythm.
The second half of the card pool is led by Brant. This new resonator, who is also a five-star, is a hot melt attribute warrior who uses a long blade. His temperament is as cold as the first frost, but his moves contain high-temperature bursts like fireworks. His joining also rebalances the proportion of male five-star characters in Mingchao. The character Changli, who was reproduced at the same time, as an extremely popular five-star character in the early days, appears in the Brant card pool, which also foreshadows the upcoming linkage and collision between new and old characters.
It is worth noting that all the card pool content is currently in the leak stage, and the official announcement shall prevail. However, in the rhythm history of Mingchao, players have long learned to interpret the future in the wind, and these clues are enough to make countless resonators eager to try.
Phoebe: The rhythm of sound and the cracks of light
Phoebe’s design style is very different from that of Jinxi before. If Jinxi is to control the strength of force with the softness of water, then Phoebe is to accurately depict the rhythm in the gaps of physical fluctuations. She is not only a diffraction system main C, but also a dancer who can control “sound”. Her skill design and resonance chain structure are bound to revolve around the beat of the sound sensor.
The potential of the diffraction attribute may be further released in Phoebe. Previously, some characters relied on precise rhythm to release skills, and her joining is expected to expand this mechanism to a new level-it may require players to capture the beat and complete real-time performance in battle, and perhaps it will also lead to more battle structures based on the “rhythm system”.
Phoebe’s existence is an important experiment in Mingchao’s “battle + music” combination. For players who like skillful combat and rhythmic gameplay, she is undoubtedly a new challenge.
Brent: Blade forged in flames, rekindling the hot melt tactics
In contrast to Phoebe’s light melody, Brent is more like a blacksmith in the flames. He fights with a long blade, and his hot melt attribute represents the energy drastic change at the edge of matter, and his attack method is likely to be close-range continuous burst. Although the specific skills have not yet been announced, it can be inferred from his background and appearance that his positioning may be a melee fighter with both attack speed and high multiplier.
He may take on the role of “high-pressure main C” in the hot melt system, filling the gap in the previous system that tends to be auxiliary or sub-C. The further strengthening of the long blade weapon type also gives more hot melt players a new lineup building direction.
It is worth mentioning that Brent’s image setting obviously tends to be a mature and stable male character, which complements the relatively small number of male main Cs in the previous Mingchao character group, and also reflects the development team’s further efforts in character diversity.
Update signal of tactics and emotions in parallel
The card pool adjustment of this 2.1 version is not only a character rotation, but also a hint of an update of the tactical system. From the new rhythm combat system that Phoebe may represent, to the high-burst hot melt system that Brent may open, to the return of Changli, the whole card pool combination indicates higher intensity team matching requirements and rhythm control.
The opening of Linaxi Tower also represents the further development of the world background. This tower may not only be a geographical coordinate, but also a leap node of civilization, the starting point of a new narrative, and an incubator for new plots, new mechanisms and even new combat thinking.
In the end: Are you ready when the wind rises?
If you have spent a version of the tide baptism in Mingchao, if you are still waiting for a meaningful character to start, then 2.1 may be your moment. Whether you are a believer in sound operation, or a fan of hot melt burst, Phoebe’s quiet melody, or Brent’s fiery knife light, there is always a way for you to find your own rhythm in the wind.
Get ready for the resonator in your heart. The next wave is already in the wind.
