Meet the new Memories

Mistsea Descent & Mistsea Lament share a Solar slot and a talent that scales bonus Weakness DMG with Rafayel’s max HP—perfect for shield-heavy squads. Snagging the pair not only powers up your roster but also unlocks the dazzling Lemurian Sea God form complete with tail, scales and flowing teal-gold armor.

The mythic storyline: prophecy, pearls, and a kiss

“Lemurians who seeketh Absolute Power / Combat the treacherous tides / Dive into The Deep for pearls / Find a true love…”

Sea-God prophecy: The Tome of the Sea God foretells a reunion between Rafayel and his fated bride amid flooded ruins.
Choice-driven romance: Dialogue options branch into “protect” or “free” outcomes, both ending with that long-anticipated CG kiss.
Lore expansion: We finally visit Romirro’s sealed halls and learn why Rafayel hides a tail beneath his artist robes.

The new nine-chapter Myth, “Tears of Romirro,” plunges you into the flooded ruins of an ancient Lemurian kingdom. According to the mysterious Tome of the Sea God, Rafayel was once sealed in an underwater temple alongside the Sea God’s Bride. Guided by moonlight and haunted by prophecy, you reunite with him at last—but a question lingers like salt on the breeze: will you give him your “pure, flawless heart,” or protect your own?

What truly sets this story apart is its dual ending system. Dialogue choices steer you toward either a self-sacrificing “protect” path or a liberating “free” route, and both culminate in a beautifully animated CG kiss. That kiss isn’t just fan service; it underlines Love & Deepspace’s commitment to portraying romance with tenderness and respect, regardless of how masculine or feminine a character appears on the surface.

Quality-of-life upgrades you’ll actually feel

Instant Myth access – Chapter 1 is readable the moment the banner drops; no early card-leveling grind.
Generous pity & freebies – 150-pull guarantee plus Moonsand Shell rewards make the event friendlier for F2P captains.
First Solar DPS build for Rafayel – HP-scaling talent lets him slot neatly into Solar comps (think Zayne Radiance synergies).

One of the most exciting shifts is story accessibility. In the past, you had to raise a Myth card to Rank I before you could even read the first chapter. Rafayel breaks that barrier: Chapter 1 unlocks instantly, so lore-hungry Captains can binge the opening cut-scene on day one while the gacha gods decide their fate. Combine that with a daily half-price pull on the banner and a shower of event currency, and Submerged Eclipse is one of the most wallet-friendly Myth debuts the game has seen.

Tips to ride the tide

Spend the free 10 Wishes first to shave pity.
Daily half-price pull is a low-risk way to edge closer to both 5★ cards.
Save Stellin for HP-boosting Protocores—they scale perfectly with the new talent.
Looking ahead: Leak-chatter hints at a Xavier summer Myth in late July, so budget if he’s your other bias.

Team-building tips

Play the long game with HP. Because both 5★ cards buff Weakness DMG in proportion to max HP, investing in HP-boosting Protocores gives better returns than pure ATK sets.
Synergize with Zayne. Zayne’s Radiance debuffs pair nicely with Rafayel’s Solar damage, especially in multi-wave stages where shields matter.
Don’t burn your Stellin all at once. Rumor has it Xavier will headline a summer Myth in late July. If he’s also on your wish list, earmark at least 30k Stellin and a handful of Fusion Nuclei now.

Community vibes

Most players are thrilled that Rafayel’s long hair, flowing silks and softer jawline survived the glow-up; any “he looks more masculine” moments are down to camera angle, lighting or that slicked-back deity hairstyle—nothing’s been stripped from his inclusive allure.

Longtime fans will be pleased—and relieved—to know that Rafayel’s update never abandons the fluid, almost ethereal vibe that first captivated audiences. Yes, promotional stills might show a slightly sharper jaw or a broad-shouldered silhouette, but look closer and you’ll see the differences are mostly due to lighting, camera angles, or that sleek deity hairstyle. In-game, he remains a harmonious blend of soft curves and quiet strength. His new Sea God form actually underscores his androgyny: a cascade of teal-green hair, nacre armor that shimmers like polished shell, and a subtle mer-tail that echoes earlier hints about his hidden aquatic heritage.

Final splash

Submerged Eclipse proves you can polish perfection: deeper lore, breathtaking animation, easier access, and a truckload of free loot—all while letting Rafayel stay the rule-breaking, gender-bending dream we adore.

Rafayel’s Submerged Eclipse isn’t just the first Myth of a new wave—it’s a statement that Love & Deepspace can marry inclusive character design, AAA-level visuals, and player-first mechanics in one package. Whether you join for the romantic payoff, the HP-scaling damage, or simply the thrill of exploring sunken palaces beneath a lavender moon, dip your toes in before the event fades on July 1. The tides are rising, Captain—may they carry you straight to that glittering pity break and the love story waiting underneath.
