Arcs are the game's transforming weapon system: each Arc binds to a specific element and has its own moveset, level cap, and refinement tree. The launch lineup includes signature Arcs for every playable Esper plus a wider rotation of standard-pool drops.27282829Notable launch Arcs include Blow Up the Crowd, Eternal Waltz, The Last Rose, Stellar Veil, Marching Beyond Time, and the Tiger Special promotional Arc. Arc upgrade materials drop from Anomaly Commissions and the weekly Anomaly Pilgrimage encounters.29303031World Bosses31323233Thirteen world bosses are deployable across the open world at launch. The Bosses index covers each encounter, weakness, and reward, while the Anomalies overview explains the broader anomaly classification system.33343435BossRegionTypeMorphixBridge CrossingsAnomaly Pilgrimage weeklyThe Never-ending ArachneTalin AvenueAnomaly Pilgrimage weeklyMammonOpen worldWorld bossTomato DevilOpen worldWorld bossImaginadoughOpen worldWorld bossBeat KingOpen worldWorld bossHeadless RiderOpen worldWorld bossSea PrisonerUnheard ShoresWorld bossNestbound BirdPink Paws BankWorld bossBlack TomeOpen worldWorld bossSerenettiOpen worldWorld bossSwallowtailOpen worldWorld bossFilm MANISHOpen worldWorld boss3536Anomaly Pilgrimage36373738The Anomaly Pilgrimage weekly endgame mode launches alongside Version 1.0.

The launch collaboration with Porsche brings the 918 Spyder into the rotation as a paid skin.42434344Cartridges and Modules44454546Esper loadouts use two equipment systems. Cartridges come in 14 elemental sets, while Modules come in 12 console-style configurations. Both systems gate at Hunter Level thresholds and feed into the broader Progression Systems loop.46474748Items, Materials, and Furniture48494950Over 100 materials, currencies, and consumables enter the database with launch, plus more than 200 furniture pieces for the Housing System.

The Regional Servers and Launch FAQ pages cover account separation in detail.96989799Known Day-One Issues9810099101Server load on launch day produced queue waits during peak Asia-region hours, and the Mainland China open beta a week prior also reported a launch-day login bottleneck.
