Dear Hyperlinkers,

To provide everyone with a better adventure experience, Etheria: Restart will undergo server maintenance on 2025/06/13 03:00 AM (UTC-5). During this period, Hyperlinkers will temporarily be unable to enter the game. Please plan your gaming time accordingly.

After the update is completed, update compensation will be distributed via in-game mail. Please check your mailbox to claim it. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience caused during this period and thank everyone for your support and understanding!

Update Time:

• 2025/06/13 03:00 AM (UTC-5)
• Estimated to last 1 hour

Update Compensation:

• Hydra Crystal×200

Holden is an extremely mysterious Animus. Despite his frail appearance, which might seem weak at first glance, he radiates an aura that keeps strangers at bay. His true identity is the 6th-ranked executioner of R.C.S.

What requires careful attention is that this person’s whereabouts are extremely secretive. He never shows his true face to others. Even when he voluntarily introduces himself, it’s usually just another elaborate trap.

Preview:

Holden is a defense-focused, balanced character who weakens enemies through powerful counterattacks and AoE dispel effects. He combines survival, disruption, and consistent damage output capabilities, excelling in high-pressure combat situations.

Event Time:

2025/06/14 04:00 – 2025/06/26 03:59 (SVT)

Event Content:

During the event period, when summoning SSR Animus in [Abyss Hunter], you are guaranteed to receive the limited SSR Animus [Holden]. [Abyss Hunter] belongs to [Anima Limited Summon]. In [Anima Limited Summon] pools, you are guaranteed a limited SSR Animus within 80 pulls.

Like her brother Holden, Hoyan serves as the 6th executioner of R.C.S., with Holden’s commands being her sole basis for action. According to reliable intelligence, Hoyan once gave most of her Anima to Holden, thereby losing the majority of her self-consciousness.

Preview:

Hoyan is a comeback burst-type character with desperate counterattack abilities. Through high-damage ultimates triggered when near death and anti-revival effects, she specifically counters revival systems and burst compositions.

Event Time:

2025/06/14 04:00 – 2025/06/26 03:59 (SVT)
