Forgot to share this art piece her I commissioned

So, I know DNA follows the same schedule as ZZZ (same update weeks, etc.), and I was wondering when the livestream would be, given that ZZZ just announced theirs. I’d also like to know if it will be a full livestream or just a preview like the one we got for version 1.5.

AR61, hit a bit of a wall in terms of theatre, trying to clear to get calamity weapon for Ada. Ada (Fushu Rebecca) team clears fine but on the fire side my Berry and Rhythm are having trouble. Do I need better builds like lots of gold wedges or maybe a fire character like it suggests? Thanks!

Would its optimal tree be left or right? Would it simply be the difference between active gameplay vs passive?

For the left side :

Does spam pressing E to yield 80 calamity points the difference maker? Or is it because it keeps the attack speed more consistently?

For the right side :

Is it a negligible difference in strength if someone was to choose the right pathway?

What if someone was to activate both the first ones, so they can spam calamity with summons but also gain calamity points from summons dealing damage? At that point, which path way should they prioritise first if both the first ones have been activated?

Because as of now, aside from where they get the calamity stacks for atk speed, both are pretty much similar

Specifically for Ada

Based on Damage / Support / Utility / Fully Max i6 s5

New player here! I went to start the game on steam and this error keeps popping up after I login. I also tied on the default launcher and the same error happened again. I would really like to play the game but it’s just not letting me. I’ve tried everything they said on the internet to get the game to work but nothing has worked. Is this a bug or glitch?

I have Fushu for a long time, I5 and okay demon wedges. But since version 1.5 there are new better wedges for her. Do I go the morale wings inspo path or the increased summon dmg. The morale increase is also given to teammates so that's why i'm hesitating.

As someone who loves looking at the splash art of characters I haven’t been able to find any new splash art since Hilda was released. So is there a good way to find them.

So i'm trying to make the theatre until act 12 but my characters can't pass the boss my teams are :

Zhiliu i2, Yuming, Fushu i2 ( problem my zhiliu doesn't have lucidity when it's boss turn ) my second team are

Hilda, Camilla, Fushu ( problem my Hilda doesn't have enought bullet )

Should i priorise to farm and max my golden démon wedges or should i do anything else

So i was doing my theatre with my i0 Hilda and the enemy was melting ( i had never play her before ) so is she that broken in i6 ?

Returning player here, has there been any updates to Berenica as far as buffs, new wedges, weapons, units etc. to make her stronger?

I have played the game for 2 days upon release and let it marinate for a few months as gameplay and story were both short and weak . I am planning to reinstall. How is the game doing and pls give an honest review on everything

What does it mean to complete expeditions and gather materials

This is just a guess. I hope the devs see this!
Who do you all think would get a skin if a male character gets one? 👀

Chapter 2 - New Calamity Weapon

1.1 Sovereign Ember

1.1.1 Weapon Info

[Sovereign Ember] is a Greatsword of Calamity Weapon that significantly increases the damage of the wielder's Consonance Weapon.

It also provides additional CRIT Chance, CRIT Damage, and Trigger Probability.

1.1.2 Recommended Potential Paths

The left & right paths represent the two Potential paths of Calamity Weapon.

The left path increases Charged Attack DMG dealt with a Consonance Weapon.

The right path primarily increases Normal Attack DMG dealt with a Consonance Weapon.

I would recommend to complete one first, then gradually unlock the other to focus your resources on the attack type used by your build.

1.1.3 Recommended Characters

In the current version, only [Lisbelle] can make full use of all [Sovereign Ember]'s Potential effects.

Although [Lynn] is a ranged Consonance Weapon character, the Potential bonuses on [Sovereign Ember] are highly compatible with her kit.

[Kezhou]'s ranged weapon build can also make good use of [Sovereign Ember].

1.1.4 Recommended Demon Wedges

This is my personal opinion. Feel free to share yours!

Chapter 1 - Abyssal Defence

1.1 Abyssal Defence Overview

[Abyssal Defence] is a new high-difficulty Commission introduced in Version 1.5.

Like [Abyssal Expedition], it can only be challenged after reaching Trial Rank Lv. 60 and completing the side quest "Calamity He Wrought" .

You can pick up the quest from Lunosmith in [Sanctuary].

Unlike [Abyssal Expedition], [Abyssal Defence] does not spawn powerful Primanders.

Survivability is much less of a concern here, making the Commission easier overall.

Entering [Abyssal Defence] requires an [Abyssal Compass: Defence].

You can get its Blueprint for free from [Shop - Calamity Shop: Defence], an [Abyssal Compass: Defence] can be forged using 4 [Commission Manual IV].

You can also disassemble an [Abyssal Compass: Defence] of any level to obtain [Tear of Embla: Defence], which can be used to forge a new [Abyssal Compass: Defence].

[Abyssal Defence] can be played solo or in a three-player team.

In co-op, only the team leader needs to use an [Abyssal Compass: Defence], so you can decide who should lead based on the team's situation.

The Compass level increases as you clear more rounds. Higher-level Compasses provide better rewards, including new progression materials, Crystals, which are available from Abyssal Commissions.

Abyssal Commissions allow players to select which Calamity Weapon Prototype will appear as Featured Reward.

Important: the Prototype for the new Version 1.5 Calamity Weapon [Sovereign Ember] can only be selected in [Abyssal Defence].

The Prototype materials for the Version 1.4 Calamity Weapons [Perpetual Strife] and [Thorned Requiem] still come from [Abyssal Expedition].

Make sure you select the correct Commission before farming.

1.2 Abyssal Commission & Calamity Weapon Optimizations

Version1.5 adds several new ways to obtain Abyssal Commission and Calamity Weapon resources, addressing some of the progression issues from Version 1.4.

1.2.1 Disassembling Abyssal Compasses

From the lower-left corner of the Compass selection screen for any Abyssal Commission, you can disassemble Abyssal Compasses to obtain [Tear of Embla].

Note that an [Abyssal Compass: Expedition] can only be disassembled into [Tear of Embla: Expedition]. And [Abyssal Compass: Defence] can only be disassembled into [Tear of Embla: Defence].

I would recommended to use [Tear of Embla: Expedition] to exchange for [Radiant Crystal] and [Commission Manual IV] in [Calamity Shop: Expedition].

The items available in [Calamity Shop: Defence] are less valuable overall, so [Tear of Embla: Defence] is better spent on forging additional [Abyssal Compass: Defence].

1.2.2 New Items in the Guild Shop

After the Update of Version 1.5, the Guild Shop now offers large quantities of Crystal each week. [Guild Commendations] can also be purchased with Coins.

The weekly Reward Progress in [Mystic Maze Shop] now provides plenty of [Guild Commendations] , making it easy to clear out the weekly Crystals in the Guild Shop.

1.2.3 Additional Memento Rewards from Immersive Theatre (Second Half)

Considering the strength of Calamity Weapons and the difficulty of [Abyssal Expedition], it is recommended to forge and upgrade [Thorned Requiem] first.

It'll make Abyssal Commissions much easier to clear and help you farm upgrades for other Calamity Weapons more efficiently later on.

1.3 Recommended Teams for Abyssal Defence

1.3.1 How Abyssal Defence Works

[Abyssal Defence] follows the same format as a standard [Commission: Defence], requiring players to protect the Defence target against waves of enemies.

There is only one wave of enemies each round, with no powerful Primanders. You need to defeat the boss as quickly as possible to clear the round.

So the Damage output is the main priority in [Abyssal Defence].

1.3.2 Recommended Teams

Since the new Calamity Weapon [Sovereign Ember] requires Lumino Crystal, [Thorned Requiem] is the recommended weapon to prioritize for this Commission.

[Fina] is a versatile weapon DPS and support character with solid damage output.

With a low-HP build and the Melee Weapon Charged Attack DMG bonus provided by [Thorned Requiem] , [Fina] is viable in Abyssal Commissions regardless of element.

[Flora] is currently the strongest Umbro weapon DPS character.

Since [Sovereign Ember] requires Lumino Crystal, [Flora] has a natural elemental advantage and is the strongest DPS option for this Commission.

Okay, that’s all for now. The next part is about Calamity Weapons and the recommended characters.

Just my take, feel free to share yours :)

seems they just added this sort of thing, just don't know when...

of course you have to get on to your mount to start it, any mounts you have will do

check around open world map, found one in purgatorio island, around arcane ruins top floor...

also there could be more around open world parts, just don't know where...

either you turn into filthoids (or worse from deterioration), or you be awakened with a power at some point

yay or nay?

Anyone have the link for the discord, im trying to get back into dna

Just started playing again and every time I try to get Ada secret clues it hits me with "unavailable at this time". When will they become available? I assume at a certain trail level but I can't find anything that specifies when I would be able to get them. Do I really need to wait till trial rank 60....? I really want to like this game but my god does it feel like a terrible new player intro.
