Updated for the September 9 release: Soundscape Special program window and currency, confirmed passive values and stat line, and removed the pre-release hedging
11Overview223-Voice of the Voyager is an S-Class Plasma Arc associated with Linko, the S-Class Anima character scheduled for the second phase of Version 1.3 "Rising from the Moonlit Fog".3+Voice of the Voyager is a limited S-Class Plasma Arc released on September 9, 2026 as the signature Arc of Linko, the S-Class Anima character of the second phase of Version 1.3 "Rising from the Moonlit Fog". It is offered through the "Soundscape Special" Arc Research Program until September 30, 2026 at 05:59 (UTC+8), paid with Tri-Keys or Soundscape Keys, and the update notes state it is currently available only through that program.445-This page covers content that has not yet gone live. Version 1.3 launched on August 19, 2026 with its first phase. Voice of the Voyager belongs to the second phase, which is expected to open on September 9, 2026. The Version 1.3 patch notes published before launch detail only the first phase, and the Arc's effects were confirmed as not revealed during the pre-launch program. Everything below the stat line should be treated as provisional until the Arc is playable and an official patch note describes it.5+The Arc is S-Class, its type is Plasma, and its advanced attribute is Crit Rate. Unlike the Phase 1 Arc Ravenous Blade, which is a pure on-field carry piece, its passive scales Support Skill and Ultimate damage rather than sustained basic attack output, which fits Linko's Synced Strike kit.667-What is established is the Arc's frame: it is S-Class, its type is Plasma, and its advanced attribute is Crit Rate. Unlike the Phase 1 Arc Ravenous Blade, which is a pure on-field carry piece, the effect profile attached to Voice of the Voyager points at a support role, scaling Support Skill and Ultimate damage rather than sustained basic attack output.8-97Flavor Text108119"The languages engraved upon it remain indecipherable. Yet their message is clear enough: somewhere in the cosmos, we are not alone."12101311The text ties the Arc to broadcast and signal imagery, which matches Linko's presentation. She is an agent of ETD-6 within the Bureau of Anomaly Control and fights alongside Xiaozhen, an anomaly partner that takes the form of a television-headed backpack.14121513Stats161417-Voice of the Voyager uses the standard S-Class stat line, with ATK as the base attribute and Crit Rate as the advanced attribute. These figures match the other limited S-Class Arcs in the pool.15+Voice of the Voyager uses the standard S-Class stat line, with ATK as the base attribute and Crit Rate as the advanced attribute: 37 ATK and 9.6% Crit Rate at Level 1, rising to 570 ATK and 24.0% Crit Rate at Level 80. These figures match the other limited S-Class Arcs in the pool.18161917LevelATKCrit RateLv. 8057024.0%2018Because the raw stat line is shared across limited S-Class Arcs, the entire practical difference between Voice of the Voyager and its peers sits in the passive. Full comparisons are on the S-Class Arcs listing and the Arcs Database.211922-Reported Passive Effect20+Passive Effect: Golden Record232124-Unconfirmed. The values in this section have circulated ahead of the Arc's release but have not appeared in an official patch note, and they may change before the second phase opens. Do not plan a build around them yet.22+The passive, Golden Record, has three parts. It grants a flat ATK increase, a large increase to the wearer's Support Skill Crit DMG, and a stacking Ultimate Crit DMG buff that builds when the wearer deals damage with a Support Skill. Stacks last 3 seconds and cap at 3, with re-triggering resetting the duration rather than extending it.252326-The passive attributed to the Arc, under the localized name "Golden Record", has three parts. It grants a flat ATK increase, a large increase to the wearer's Support Skill Crit DMG, and a stacking Ultimate Crit DMG buff that builds when the wearer deals damage with a Support Skill. Stacks are short, lasting 3 seconds and capping at 3, with re-triggering resetting the duration rather than extending it.27-2824RefinementATKSupport Skill Crit DMGUltimate Crit DMG per StackUltimate Crit DMG at 3 StacksR124%66%22%66%R230%82.5%27.5%82.5%R336%99%33%99%R442%115.5%38.5%115.5%R548%132%44%132%29-If these numbers hold, the Arc would be a burst-enabler rather than a sustained damage piece. The short 3-second stack window means the wearer has to land Support Skill damage and then immediately follow into an Ultimate to convert the buff, which is a tighter rotation requirement than the 15-second window on Ravenous Blade.25+The Arc is a burst-enabler rather than a sustained damage piece.

That is a narrower requirement than a generic ATK Arc, and it means the Arc is unlikely to be a good default pick for an on-field carry that rarely swaps.343035-ConsiderationNotesBest caseA character whose Support Skill deals damage and whose Ultimate is the main share of their output, letting both halves of the passive apply in the same window.Poor fitSustained basic attack carries, who would gain the ATK bonus but leave the Support Skill and Ultimate portions largely unused.Open questionWhether Linko is built as a damage dealer, a support, or a hybrid. Her combat role has not been confirmed, so signature-Arc synergy cannot be assumed yet.36-Until the phase opens, treat the pairing with Linko as an expectation drawn from the release schedule rather than a confirmed synergy. Signature Arcs in this game generally match their character, but the specific numbers and the character's kit both remain unverified.37-31+ConsiderationNotesBest caseA character whose Support Skill deals damage and whose Ultimate is the main share of their output, letting both halves of the passive apply in the same window. Linko's Full-Frequency Pulse into Oversync loop is the intended user, and Hathor, Nanally and Aurelia are listed as compatible.Poor fitSustained basic attack carries, who would gain the ATK bonus but leave the Support Skill and Ultimate portions largely unused.3832How to Obtain393340-Expected acquisition follows the pattern set by earlier limited Arcs: a dedicated Arc Research Program running in parallel with the character board, funded by Tri-Key and a program-specific key type, and available only for the duration of that phase.34+Acquisition follows the pattern set by earlier limited Arcs: a dedicated Arc Research Program running in parallel with the character board, funded by Tri-Keys and a program-specific key type, and available only for the duration of the phase.413542-DetailStatusPhaseVersion 1.3 Phase 2Expected windowSeptember 9, 2026 to September 30, 2026, 05:59 (UTC+8)Paired board"Surfing All Channels!", featuring LinkoProgramNot yet announcedCurrencyNot yet announced, expected to follow the Tri-Key plus limited-key patternConfirmationUnconfirmed until the Phase 2 patch note is published36+DetailStatusPhaseVersion 1.3 Phase 2WindowSeptember 9, 2026 (after update) to September 30, 2026, 05:59 (UTC+8)Paired board"Surfing All Channels!", featuring LinkoProgram"Soundscape Special" Arc Research ProgramCurrencyTri-Keys or Soundscape KeysUnlockComplete the main story quest "Prologue - A New Destination - Head to Eibon Antique Shop"Exclusivity"This Arc is currently only available through this program."AscensionPhase 1: Fons x20,000, Liquid Dream Trial Kit x4, Lost Whispers x443-The Phase 1 window, covering Zankou and Ravenous Blade, closes on September 9, 2026 at 05:59 (UTC+8), and Phase 2 is expected to begin as it ends.

The material set has not been confirmed, and the Version 1.3 Phase 1 Arc uses the standard S-Class progression.Hold Tri-Key reserves if you intend to chase the Phase 2 Arc, since limited programs do not carry over between phases.Re-check the passive values once the phase opens. Provisional numbers for unreleased content have shifted before, and refinement decisions are difficult to reverse.Compare against what you already own on the S-Class Arcs page before committing. A confirmed Arc that fits your roster is usually a better spend than an unconfirmed one.41+Hold Tri-Key reserves until you have decided between this program and the Bright Moon Special rerun, since limited programs do not carry over between phases.Refinement decisions are hard to reverse; the R1 to R5 table above is the live scaling, so compare the R1 values against what you own on the S-Class Arcs page before committing duplicates.The Arc only pays off on a character who lands Support Skill damage right before an Ultimate. On anyone else the ATK bonus is the only part that applies.484243+How It Fits Linko's Rotation44+45+Golden Record maps directly onto Linko's kit. Her Redirect Skill, Full-Frequency Pulse, deals up to four instances of Anima damage and then calls Xiaozhen or an ally for a Synced Strike; the Support Skill damage from that sequence builds the Ultimate Crit DMG stacks, and her Ultimate, Oversync, is meant to follow within the 3-second window while the Resonance Field is up. Her A3 awakening, which resets Full-Frequency Pulse on casting Oversync, tightens the loop further, and A8 extends the Resonance Field by 5 seconds, which gives more room to line up the stacks before the Ultimate lands.46+47+Soundscape Special Versus Bright Moon Special48+49+ProgramArcTypeAdvanced attributePassive focusWindow"Soundscape Special"Voice of the VoyagerPlasmaCrit RateSupport Skill and Ultimate Crit DMG burstsSeptember 9 to September 30, 2026, 05:59 (UTC+8)"Bright Moon Special"Marching Beyond TimeSolidCrit RateUltimate Crit DMG and DEF Ignore after Redirect and Support SkillsSeptember 9 to September 30, 2026, 05:59 (UTC+8)50+The two programs draw on separate key types (Soundscape Keys against Bright Moon Keys) but both accept Tri-Keys, so a player with a fixed Tri-Key budget has to choose. Voice of the Voyager is the better spend for anyone who pulled Linko; Marching Beyond Time is the better spend for a roster built around Hotori or Jiuyuan Ultimates.51+4952Related Pages50535154Arcs and Weapons: the Arc system, classes, and refinement.Linko: the character this Arc is associated with.Xiaozhen: Linko's anomaly partner.Ravenous Blade: the Version 1.3 Phase 1 limited Arc.Gacha System: boards, research programs, and pity rules.
