We are carrying out a Scheduled Maintenance for Flash Party on Wednesday, April 26th, from 08:00 AM to 11:00 AM (UTC+8), during which the service will be temporarily unavailable. Here are the details of the update: [b]New Hero: Foxx, the Healer of Souls[/b] Foxx, the most renowned doctor in Metropolis, has made a deal with the King of Souls to save his best friend from a life-threatening illness. In exchange for his sight, Foxx is now able to perceive the souls of others, and has become the "Healer of Souls." Now, his friend's soul resides within Foxx's body, manifested as a spiritual hand that watches over him. Together, they embark on a journey to the Flash Party's stage, where they will fight side by side and win match after match until their wish is granted. Foxx is an Assaulter with excellent combo skills and close-range combat abilities. His giant hand can assist in attacks and grabs, as well as counter-attacks. One of Foxx's unique abilities is the use of two types of scalpels, red and blue, which can be used to create devastating attacks. When the blue scalpel is used to perform a neutral attack, it applies a "Soul Mark" to the opponent. Using the red scalpel, Foxx is able to unleash his lethal follow-up attacks. The red scalpel can detonate the “Soul Mark” and create an extra explosion. Mastering the use of the blue and red scalpels and seizing the advantage in battle will be the key to Foxx's success. After equipping Colorful Stickers, Foxx's skills will gain even stronger combo abilities, and his giant hand will be further empowered to help him seize the initiative on the battlefield. The scalpel is also a weapon of victory. The unquenchable soul fire under Foxx's eye patch will ignite cheers and applause throughout the Flash Party. New: Hero Foxx will be released on April 26th! [b]New Skin Set: Vernal Ode[/b] The sweet fragrance of spring fills the air. In this season of renewal, even Foxx has cast off his past gloom and decided to take a break with his best friend in the countryside. But who could have anticipated that Alice would join them? No one knows exactly when Alice arrived at the campsite, but Foxx believes that a little bit of sunshine is good for children, so he sets up his canvas and prepares to welcome the coming of spring with a painting full of greenery and flowers. [b]New Legendary Skin for Alice: The Little Gardener[/b] Who says sleepy children don't like to play outside? Mr. Rabbit is the first to disagree! As the weather warms up, Alice has put on her gardener's outfit and is ready to go to the most popular outdoor destination in Metropolis to plant flowers - or, play in the mud! [b]New Skin for Foxx: Primavera Painter[/b] Painting has always been a shared hobby for Foxx and his friend. This spring, they pack up their paintbrushes and canvases, ready to create some new paintings and memories. [b]New Feature: Chat with Seaya Beta Test[/b] A new Beta test version of the AI chat feature has been released, with Seaya's icon appearing in the chat system. Try chatting with her! (Please note that this AI chat feature is only a Beta test version, and Seaya's comments do not represent the official position of Flash Party.)
