Valerian & Lily Reveal

Get ready, Etherians—XD Entertainment just dropped two tantalizing character teases that have players buzzing, and trust us, you’re going to want to keep these names on your radar. Whether you’re gearing up for PvP domination or just love collecting stylish, lore-rich heroes, Valerian and Lily are bringing major heat—and a touch of mystery—to Etheria: Restart.

Let’s break down everything we know so far about these two standout characters and why they might be game-changers for your squad.

First up, we’ve got Valerian, a new SR character with the title Eternal Sleep. Right off the bat, her design is a visual cocktail of punk attitude, emo vibes, and mad scientist aesthetics—complete with a lab coat and medical gear. She’s affiliated with the Dream Club, the same group as Viper (who we know specializes in poison), and her thematic identity screams “sleep debuffer” in the making.

Her quote alone sets the tone:

“Are you feeling unwell, worried? Then go out and ask about Dr. Valerian’s reputation. I’ll sleep a little longer…”

That’s the kind of cryptic, almost sarcastic energy we love to see in a character who probably wreaks havoc in silence.

What’s really intriguing is how the devs seem to be tying her personality directly into her potential gameplay mechanics. Based on the reports, she’s a lazy but brilliant doctor, appearing unreliable at first glance, but proving deeply committed when it counts. Here’s what we learn from her character reports:

• Report One: She’s an unlicensed, decadent, and seemingly unreliable doctor.
• Report Two: She sleeps more than she’s awake—and always looks drowsy, even when she’s not.
• Report Three: Despite appearances, she never slacks when working and treats all lives with care and equality.

This duality is likely to be more than flavor text. If she really is a sleep-based debuffer, she could be a massive asset in controlling the battlefield—especially in PvP, where denying turns and managing status effects is the key to victory. With the devs pushing for a more competitive scene, it makes sense that these niche-style debuffs are starting to appear. Valerian might just be the unit to tip the scales in strategic fights.

And then there’s Lily—a beautifully crafted SSR magician affiliated with Doki Entertainment. Her aesthetic is whimsical, otherworldly, and packed with magical flair. She’s giving off strong Alice in Wonderland and Kingdom Hearts energy, with a ghostly familiar, a magical hat, and a cape that all seem to amplify her mystical presence.

From what we’ve seen, she’s the embodiment of paradox—a timid performer who gains strength through mishaps, transforming errors into astonishing effects. Her quote perfectly captures that anxious but endearing energy:

“Nice to meet you, my name is Lily. I’m a magician. Ah—no, don’t look at me anymore!”

Her character reports paint an even clearer picture:

• Report One: She’s weak, shy, and anxious in the spotlight.
• Report Two: Despite meticulous rehearsals, unexpected moments throw her off completely.
• Report Three: Thanks to her magic hat and cape (likely her ghost familiar), her accidents become performance enhancements, turning her unique style into a strength.

In gameplay terms, this could translate into abilities that benefit from randomness or “failure”—think mechanics where missed effects bounce back as surprise bonuses or characters that become stronger the more they’re targeted. It’s a risky concept if true, but it fits her lore perfectly. And that ghostly familiar? Probably not just for show—it may be integral to her combat style.

Lily’s design is dripping with personality. From the chains on her outfit to the shared hat with her familiar, there’s a lot of intention behind her aesthetic. She’s not just a “cute mage”—she’s got flair, magic, and a whole lot of mystery.

It’s clear that XD Entertainment isn’t just adding characters for the sake of roster padding. Both Valerian and Lily reflect a new layer of strategic depth and narrative flavor that could seriously shake up how we play. Valerian brings control and disruption. Lily may offer unpredictability wrapped in a powerful magical core.

Even more exciting, these reveals point toward the next phase of Etheria: Restart’s development—one that leans heavily into competitive viability and creative hero design. We’re seeing a shift from the “basic” archetypes to more nuanced, layered characters that reward smart play and clever team-building.

Absolutely. Whether you’re a collector, a PvP grinder, or just love cool characters with deep lore, both Valerian and Lily bring something fresh to the table. Valerian’s potential sleep kit could be meta-defining, while Lily’s chaotic magical style is sure to charm and challenge players alike.
