What is Novaflare?

The Novaflare feature enhances a character's abilities, Traces, and/or Eidolon effects. Currently owned characters and newly obtained will have the Novaflare enhancement on by default.

You can switch between the character's original state and the Novaflare enhanced state under the Character Details interface. The details on the Novaflare enhancements are accessible using the Character Enhancement button in the bottom-right of the character page.
These details include previewing the before/after comparisons for all kit adjustments. If the Novaflare feature is disabled on a character, all of their enhancement effects will not take effect.

As the Novaflare enhancements can greatly change a character's kit, players are highly recommended to review the adjustments to see if the character needs new Relics or Light Cones. In addition, you can participate in the Novaflare character trials to test out their kit first.
