    2.8 Schedule

    The upcoming livestream will air on July 2, 2022 and will start at 8 AM (UTC-4). It will air on Twitch before it will be uploaded fully on YouTube after a few hours. The global livestream banner includes Aether, Fischl, and Kazuha. It seems Kazuha will be making a rerun for this new update and Fischl could be getting some new additions or possibly a new outfit.

    Kazuha Comeback

    Many fans have been waiting for Kazuha to make a comeback since he can really boost the party in terms of performance due to his abilities. He is known to be one of the best supports in the game.
