When will the 2.5 version of Echoes of the Tide start? It is expected to officially launch on July 24. For many players, this news can be considered a long-awaited major update, as the new version not only brings a lot of new content but also highly anticipated characters. As the release date approaches, more and more details are gradually coming to light, let's delve into the highlights of this update together.

Firstly, one of the key focuses is the debut of Flore. As a highly popular satellite character, Flore's performance in the game has sparked widespread discussion among players. Her arrival not only means more character choices but also brings new possibilities for existing team compositions. According to current information, Flore is positioned as a backline annihilation support, and may not require a significant amount of resources, with a 0+0 build potentially allowing her to play an important role. Therefore, while preparing for the gacha, players can also anticipate whether they need to reserve resources for her.

Apart from character updates, version 2.5 will also introduce two brand new maps. One is a regular large world area, and the other is a time-limited teleportation map similar to "Tetis' Bottom," providing players with more opportunities for exploration and challenges. In terms of the storyline, this update will continue to advance the core plot related to "Echoes," which is expected to be a prelude to the final showdown. Additionally, there will be companion stories for Flore, offering players a deeper understanding of the character's background and story experience.

Another highlight that cannot be overlooked is the character rerun. The characters being rerun include Rococo, Cantarella, and Brandt, which provides a good opportunity for those who missed previous events or did not obtain these characters to fill out their rosters. Especially for Cantarella, her combination with Flore might bring powerful synergy effects to players.

Besides the current 2.5 version, we can also look forward a little bit to future updates. Version 2.6 will introduce Augusta and Yuno, respectively, as conductive main DPS and heavy hit healer, which might become the new generation's fixed teammates. And Qiu Yuan in version 2.7 might also join this lineup, further enriching the game's character system.

This concludes the introduction to the 2.5 version of Echoes of the Tide. The 2.5 version not only brings eagerly awaited characters but also adds rich map content and advances the storyline. This version's update, whether from character development, team composition, or from new map challenges and story progression, provides players with more options and depth. For wanderers, reasonably allocating resources and planning gacha strategies will be key to welcoming this version.
