#3. New Arkhe System

Along with underwater mechanics, Fontaine also brings a new Arkhe System. Arkhe is the energy created by the advanced technological standard in this nation. However, it went out of control and affected every living and non-living form in this nation.

Everything in Fontaine is infused with either Ousia or Pneuma elements, but these two elements can co-exist in some people or things. For example, Furina has both Ousia and Pneuma phases. Besides, Ousia and Pneuma are two opposite elements that can be used to counter the other one.

You also go to a beautiful time-limited world to take part in this special event. This paradise land is closed after the event ends, but lots of players expected it to open again soon.
