New Key Visual and Logo
The new key visual captures Yuria and her rival Aria, the Stellar Eight's top-ranked member and reigning "Strongest," at the exact instant their battle ignites.
Three Main Characters Revealed
The new trailer introduces three central characters players will get to know throughout BAKUDO.
Yuria A new student in Soliris Academy's Coreball Department. She enrolled chasing the one clue her missing father left behind. When someone's in trouble, she's moving before she's even decided to. The one thing she can't handle? Someone being nice to her.
Evie An upperclassman in the Support Department and a genius inventor. The kind of bright, easygoing mood maker who clicks with anyone in minutes, and Yuria's partner through it all. She never stops teasing her, but when it counts, there's no one more reliable.
Aria The top-ranked member of the Stellar Eight. A genius nobody disputes. Calm, composed, and a woman of few words, she rarely lets her feelings show. She's also the one who hands Yuria an impossible trial.
