This weekend, Etheria: Restart expands its roster with two Super-Super-Rare (SSR) Animus characters – Hoyan and Holden 0 both ranked executioners within the in-game organisation R.C.S. Their arrival is tied to separate, time-limited banners that run from today until 26 June 2025.
Hoyan, the sixth executioner, functions as a survival-oriented attacker. Her passive skill automatically restores health and triggers her ultimate ability when she receives what would otherwise be a fatal blow, allowing her to remain on the field while dealing sustained damage. As a result, Hoyan is expected to influence both player-versus-environment and competitive player-versus-player strategies that hinge on durability.
Holden, ranked sixth among the executioners, takes a contrasting approach: his offensive strength scales with his defence statistics. Once combat begins he increases both his counter-attack rate and overall damage, and his ultimate ability removes enemy buffs while reducing their attack capabilities. This combination of sustained damage, disruption and counter mechanics positions Holden as a flexible option for high-pressure encounters.
The character banners are:
“The Unseen Lady” — guarantees SSR Hoyan after no more than 80 pulls; available 14 June 2025 4:00 am to 26 June 2025 3:59 am (SVT).
“Abyss Hunter” — guarantees SSR Holden under the same conditions and schedule.
Set in a future where human consciousness exists inside the digital realm of Etheria, Etheria: Restart explores themes of memory, corrupted identity and the persistence of data.
