In the Whispers of the Sea Breeze: Phoebe’s Murmurs and Light Shadows
When the sea breeze brushes past your ears, carrying distant calls, Phoebe’s figure emerges like the glow of dawn on the horizon—gentle yet resolute. As the first limited, continuous damage resonator in the game, she wields a unique mechanic akin to the tides, toggling between “Absolution” and “Confession” states, allowing her damage to layer like waves. Absolution embodies the passion and resolve of the rising tide, while Confession reflects the contemplation and anticipation of the ebbing tide. Her “Weakness Exposure” effect clings to enemies like seaweed, with each passing moment, waves of damage crash against the enemy’s shoreline. Phoebe can serve as either the main or off-DPS of the team, her presence as indispensable as the sea breeze itself.
Phoebe’s skills resemble the rhythm of the ocean, with Resonance Circuits being her most crucial ability, followed by Resonance Release. Her normal skills and variations are like the finer details of the waves, embellishing the grand symphony of her damage. While her basic attacks may seem simple, they are as relentless as sea foam—accumulating into a stormy surge.
Choosing the right weapon for Phoebe is like selecting the perfect melody at dawn. The “Luminous Hymn” with its radiant echoes shines like the first morning star, bringing hope and light. The “Stringmaster” with its puppeteering hand is as enchanting as moonlit strings. The “Rime-Draped Sprouts” with their icicle-like beauty resemble morning dew, pure and translucent. The “Cosmic Ripples” with their cascading effects are like ripples on the water’s surface, progressively intensifying. Each weapon choice is meant to make Phoebe’s damage as warm and powerful as sunlight.
Selecting her “Stigmata” is like dressing Phoebe in the perfect attire. The “Eternal Radiance Set” is reminiscent of eternal brilliance, a warmth that never fades. The “Stardust Purification Set” sparkles like stars in the night sky, illuminating hope. The beginner-friendly “Dawn Ensemble Set” radiates the warmth and vitality of the rising sun. Choosing the right main “Stigmata” is like finding the perfect note, making her damage a flawless symphony.
When it comes to “Stigmata” effects, Critical Rate and Critical Damage are like ripples on water, while Exposure Damage and Attack Power are as gentle as the ocean breeze. Resonance Efficiency flows like the tides—each choice ensuring her damage is as natural as the sea.
Team composition is like selecting the perfect melody for Phoebe. As a sub-DPS, she harmonizes with her team like a duet under moonlight—her synergy with Xanthea resembling the interplay of tides and sea breeze. As the main DPS, she shines like a solo under sunlight, her collaboration with Dr. H and Xiao Kong resembling the fusion of waves and sky. In a super-DPS setup, she leads an ensemble of instruments, her teamwork with Mottefei, Luo Keke, and Sango resembling a chorus of all oceanic life.
In this ocean of resonating tides, Phoebe stands as a lighthouse, her light guiding every player’s journey. May you find your own radiance in these waters, and together with Phoebe, compose your own legend.

King of Wind Saber’s unique journey on the Collapse Sky Railway
King of Wind: Saber’s unique journey in the Skyline Railway
In the vast Skyline Railway universe, a new figure is about to descend. This existence from the fate of “destruction” brings a unique wind attribute power. Her name is Saber, a five-star wind attribute character, and the power of the King of Wind becomes reality in her hands. Her exclusive light cone “A Thankless Coronation” carries the glory and power of the Knight King, allowing players to experience a unique fighting style in the game.
In the Skyline Railway 3.4 version of the Skyline Railway, Saber will debut for the first time, bringing players a brand new gaming experience. Her skill system is centered on the wind attribute, combined with the unique mechanism “core resonance”, to build a powerful output cycle. Players can learn more about her various skills through this article, including exclusive light cone, normal attack, combat skills, finishing skills, talents, secret skills, additional abilities, attribute bonuses, and star souls.
Exclusive Light Cone: Thankless Coronation
Saber’s exclusive Light Cone “A Thankless Coronation” not only provides her with powerful attribute bonuses, but also gives her unique combat capabilities. When equipped with this Light Cone, Saber’s critical damage and attack power will be significantly improved. Especially when the energy reaches a certain condition, her output ability will be taken to a higher level. This Light Cone carries the glory of the Knight King. Although the coronation is unrewarding, it foreshadows the coming of destruction.
Normal Attack: Wind King Barrier
Saber’s normal attack “Wind King Barrier” not only brings wind attribute damage, but also lays the foundation for her combat system. Each normal attack not only causes 100% of the attack power of wind attribute damage, but also accumulates energy for subsequent enhanced attacks. Players will experience the transformation from ordinary to powerful in battle.
Combat Skill: Wind King Hammer
As Saber’s main C skill, “Wind King Hammer” demonstrates her dominance as the King of Wind. This skill not only deals 150% of the attack power of wind attribute damage to a single enemy, but also affects adjacent targets, causing 75% of the attack power of damage. When Saber has “Heart Resonance”, the damage multiplier of this skill will be further increased according to the number of “Heart Resonance”, and each point of “Heart Resonance” increases the damage multiplier by 14%. Players can choose whether to retain “Heart Resonance” to obtain higher damage output according to the battlefield situation.
Finishing move: Sword of Promised Victory
In Saber’s combat system, the finishing move “Sword of Promised Victory” is the concentrated embodiment of her power. This skill not only deals 280% of the attack power of wind attribute damage to all enemies, but also randomly deals an additional 10 times of 110% of the attack power of wind attribute damage to a single enemy. After casting the finishing move, Saber’s next normal attack will be replaced with the enhanced normal attack “Liberated Golden Kingship”, further improving the output capacity.
Talent: Dragon Heart
Saber’s talent “Dragon Heart” provides important support for her combat system. When entering a battle, Saber will gain 1 point of “Heat Resonance”, which provides a foundation for her subsequent skill use. Whenever a teammate casts a finishing move, Saber’s damage output will be increased by 40%, and 3 points of “Heat Resonance” will be gained. Every time 1 point of “Heat Resonance” is consumed, Saber will recover 10 points of energy, further improving the combat sustainability.
Secret Skill: The Knight King’s Appearance
Saber’s secret skill “The Knight King’s Appearance” provides her with additional boosts in battle. -

Feng Jin steps into the Starry Sky Railway, challenges fate, and achieves an immortal legend
On this endless Starry Sky Railway, Feng Jin’s name is like a meteor that cuts through the darkness, shining but short, but unforgettable for a long time. She is not only the memory fate character with wind attribute, but also a peerless genius in the world. With her unique wisdom and courage, her growth is destined to be an extraordinary legend. Her road seems to be destined to go through countless thorns and tests, but because of this, she will write her own wonderful chapter in the world of fate.
Feng Jin’s journey is not smooth sailing. Every breakthrough and growth of her is the result of countless choices and trials. She is not born to be famous in one fell swoop. Every breakthrough of hers is a challenge and transcendence to her heart. Like those fledgling heroes in the world, every step of Feng Jin is accompanied by an unyielding force.
She needs 56 pieces of “fear crushing flesh and blood”, which is undoubtedly the first big challenge she encounters on the road of practice. Fear is a topic that every Jianghu person cannot avoid. Those partners who once fought side by side with her may be able to forget or overcome it, but fear has never really left. It is hidden in the aftermath of every battle and in the heartbeat of every moment. Feng Jin has long seen that only by defeating fear with strength can one stand firm in this ruthless world. She is very much like those young people who have just entered the Jianghu, with an immortal ideal burning in her heart, but being beaten by the reality. Every piece of flesh and blood fragments confirms her indomitable and determination in the face of fate.
The second test that Feng Jin has to go through is “courage to tear the chest”, which is not only a challenge, but also a baptism. Every time the chest is torn, a fearless power is born in Feng Jin’s heart. Most people in the Jianghu have long been accustomed to killing and betrayal, but only those heroes who can draw strength from every conflict can eventually achieve immortal legends. Feng Jin’s courage is not innate. She has never sunk because of failure. Instead, she has strengthened her faith in every blow. She knows that only those who dare to face the fear deep in their hearts are qualified to reach the top of the world.
And the rise of every hero is inseparable from the baptism of glory. Feng Jin’s “body baptized by glory” is the essence she has accumulated along the way. Glory does not lie in the praise of the outside world, but in the inner growth brought by every experience. Feng Jin’s glory is her persistence when facing difficulties and obstacles alone, and it is the result of her constant self-honing and unremitting pursuit. Just like every hero in the world, only after experiencing countless challenges and pains can you get real glory. And Feng Jin, precisely in these hardships, gradually transformed into who she is today.
However, to truly achieve a great cause, courage and glory alone are not enough, but more of the expectation and pursuit of the future. Feng Jin’s “May the rainbow light stay in the sky forever” is the eternal belief and light in her heart. She knows that the road ahead is full of thorns, but she is willing to use her own strength to illuminate a path to light for herself, her partners, and the world. Her light is like a pearl in the world of martial arts. Although small, it is enough to illuminate the direction of everyone’s progress.
Feng Jin is not satisfied with her current situation. She constantly seeks growth in breakthroughs. On this Star Dome Railway, every step she takes is an expectation for the future. She needs to gradually strengthen herself by constantly collecting materials such as “Fear Tramples Flesh and Blood”, “Courage Tears Chest”, and “Glory Baptizes Body”. These materials represent her lifelong practice and growth. She must use this as a cornerstone to gradually move towards her peak. And these materials are the starting point for her to move towards glory again and again.
Just like a hero in the world of martial arts, Feng Jin is not alone. Behind her, there are countless people who support her, and the teammate who once fought and bled side by side with her. Everyone is a witness and promoter of her growth. And she will continue to fight with her partners on this Star Dome Railway and fight for her ideals together.
Her growth is the result of countless personal efforts and countless choices. And she will eventually create her own legend on this road. No matter how bumpy the road ahead is, Feng Jin will rely on her wisdom, courage and glory to eventually create an immortal legend of her own.
This Star Dome Railway will eventually shine because of her name, and Feng Jin will also write the most moving chapter under this vast starry sky.

Looking at the false prosperity and spiritual dilemma of contemporary game culture from the complexity of Xia Kong’s materials
Xia Kong, a five-star resonator in the Mingchao game, needs many and complex materials for his growth, which can be regarded as another heavy shackle in the game industry. Low-frequency tidal eclipse sail core, medium-frequency tidal eclipse sail core, high frequency, full frequency, burning phosphorus bone, crystallized phlogiston… These seemingly meaningless numbers and names have accumulated into a heavy burden on the players. They are not just props in the game, but more like the plunder and enslavement of the players’ spirit by the modern virtual world.
When I look at these material lists, I can’t help but think of the ubiquitous “tasks” and “goals” in today’s society. We are constantly asked to collect, upgrade, invest time and money, but often we can’t see substantial growth and change. The game world and the real world are surprisingly similar here. They are all mazes of desire, wearing away people’s will and soul.
In particular, the acquisition of “burning phosphorus bone” requires defeating the powerful enemy sighing ancient dragon. It is a tough battle, and players have invested a lot of time in it. Behind such repeated labor is a psychological trap carefully woven by game designers, which encourages players to endlessly kill monsters and collect. It is very much like the invisible shackles designed by the upper class of society, making people work like slaves, but becoming more and more mentally exhausted.
The name “Golden Fleece” is strange, but it is actually a microcosm of the modern game economy. It has purchase restrictions and currency transactions, representing the “capital rules” that players are forced to accept. Players can only buy fifteen per week, but they need a lot of money to exchange. The “scarcity” that is difficult to achieve in reality is artificially created in the virtual world. Such a design deprives players of the space for free choice and turns people into vassals of capital.
Look at the crystallized phlogiston again, from impurities to high purity, each level is a test of the player’s patience and time. Just like the pressure of increasing pressure in real life, it is breathless. Players are not enjoying the game, but are being squeezed bit by bit by the game system, as if the metaphor of life is becoming more and more desolate.
In addition, the discount codes and recharge discounts on Treabar.com expose the commercial nature of the modern game industry. Players seem to have benefited, but in fact they are constantly lured into consumption. Behind this “discount” is the continuous emptying of players’ wallets by capital, which is another link in the game capitalism. Players’ enthusiasm and hope become extremely fragile in money transactions.
This whole set of material system, on the surface, is necessary for cultivating Xia Kong, but in fact it is an exploitation of players’ time and spirit. Players are firmly trapped in the game framework and lose themselves in repeated monster hunting and collection. Such false prosperity is the curse of contemporary digital entertainment, tempting people to indulge, but without real rewards.
Games should be a spiritual relaxation and creative space for people, but now they have become a tool for capital manipulation. Players pursue the so-called growth in the virtual world, but find that it is nothing more than a castle in the air, and real happiness and satisfaction are getting further and further away. Xia Kong’s growth materials have become heavy iron rings on the chain, trapping the players’ hands and feet.
We should reflect on whether such game design is really worthy of praise? Or are we unknowingly being dragged into endless “labor”? Does the accumulation of materials in Xiakong reflect the anxiety, powerlessness and loss in modern people’s lives?
In conclusion, I only hope that players can see the truth of this false prosperity and not let digital games enslave their time and spirit. Games should be spiritual comfort, not a heavy shackle. Only by recognizing this can we find true freedom and liberation between games and reality.
