Introduction
Welcome back, Professor! Now that another round of Project Neural Cloud’s Closed Beta Test is about to start, it's time to drop some juicy info that came with the new beta client.
Below is a summary of everything we have learned so far from the datamine; it's not comprehensive by any means but the most important interesting bits are available!
Because this is a closed beta, the exact game mechanics, numbers, or even character appearance are not final and subject to change when the game releases for real!
This page was made possible by Dimbreath who has somehow pulled off dark magic to get info out of this client.
All translations are tentative until an official EN release is announced.
New Characters
A few characters who weren't in the first Closed Beta got added to the client! All 9 characters listed below are confirmed to be playable!
-
Imhotep
-
Max
-
Sakuya
-
Bonee
-
Zion
-
Abigail
-
Betty
-
Centaureissi
-
Yanny
Playable Characters & New Ultimates
The following list of playable characters (and characters who now have a newly-added ultimate) is inferred based on the presence of skill icons and descriptions (bold indicates that the character or ultimate is new to CBT2).
The game may lock some of them behind updates or time-gate their acquisition - we don't know yet. Notably, certain characters from CBT1 who had no ultimates back then are now fully equipped.
- Abigail (no ult)
- Angela (no ult)
- Antonina (has ult)
- Banxsy (no ult)
- Betty (has ult)
- Bonee (no ult)
- Centaureissi (no ult)
- Chelsea (has ult)
- Croque (has ult)
- Fresnel (has ult)
- Gin (has ult)
- Groove (no ult)
- Hubble (has ult)
- Imhotep (no ult)
- Jessie (has ult)
- Lam (has ult)
- Mai (has ult)
- Max (no ult)
- Persicaria (has ult)
- Sakuya (no ult)
- Simo (has ult)
- Sol (has ult)
- Yanny (no ult)
- Zion (no ult)
Bonus
FNC also makes a cameo as "Choco", but she doesn't appear to be playable (at least as of the initial update).
Official Class Names
The Gacha
This is probably the most important part for some people, and fortunately, we now know the assets for it it exists in CBT2. Whether the devs will let us experience it fully is another matter entirely...
Basic Searching
Based on the banner description, this appears to let players acquire resources as well as some Dolls. Possibly analogous to Fate/Grand Order's friend point gacha.
Advanced Searching
This appears to be the premium gacha. There's a pity mechanic advertised: one 10-roll guarantees a 2-star or above Doll. (The wording seems to imply you get it for 10 consecutive rolls, so you can possibly do a 1-roll ten times and still trigger it.)
Because Doll rarities range from 1-3 in Neural Cloud as opposed to the 3-5 or 4-6 that other gachas use, this is essentially guaranteeing an SR unit per 10-roll. A fairly standard gacha mechanic.
Hubble and Centaureissi are the rate-up dolls in the CBT gacha.
Afterword
