The long-awaited Tower of Fantasy (ToF) Version 2.0 update has been finally been released to global servers on October 20.
Dubbed the Vera expansion, this major update welcomes new characters, locations, and game mechanisms. Here are some detailed highlights of what the update entails.
Into the unknown
The new region of Vera consists of a vast desert, home to the contrasting cyberpunk metropolis known as Mirroria.
A big change from the lush landscape of Aesperia, Vera is much more barren. Here, players may end up in a disorienting sandstorm and thus must seek shelter. There are also dangerous spots with quicksand that should be avoided.
Common enemies here include red-flame lizards, horror beasts, and sandworms.
According to the game dev’s report, after players above level 74 have reached 40% of Vera’s map exploration, they will be able to access strange entrances to seemingly similar yet different worlds known as Greyspace Fissures.
There’s also something called Greyspace Entities, which are powerful enemies such as Abyssants.
These are world bosses that include Magma—a huge, scaley crocodile-like killing machine with wind and sand skills—and Rudolph—a metal moose-like creature that can call upon lightning.

Next, there’s Weaver. Found in the Sadness Valley, it summons doppelgangers and becomes invincible while those doppelgangers are around.
The city of Mirroria can be found in the heart of the desert / Image Credit: Tower of FantasyAs teased in the preview trailers, Mirroria is a massive, neon pyramid city hovering above the sandy dunes of Vera. To the uninformed, it may seem like a safe oasis, but as challenged in the official preview of Vera, it might actually be a more sinister space than that.
On the bright side, Mirroria features useful functional flying cruisers and a futuristic subway so players won’t run out of endurance and die mid-flight while trying to get around the city.

With the update, we will also see three new playable characters joining the ranks—Ruby, Lin, and Saki Fuwa.
A wielder of flame power, Ruby is an “adorable burning bunny girl” whose main goal seems to be helping Lin. This is as Ruby is under Lin’s care “due to certain arrangements”.
Her normal attacks include Spark Attack, Aerial Discharge, Lockdown Zone, Blazing Dive, and Gotcha. Her skills include Sparkling Collider and Super Nova. Her signature weapon is an SSR one called Sparky.
You can watch Ruby in action in her Simulacrum Showcase video.
Ruby is described as shy / Image Credit: Tower of FantasyAccording to the Vera preview video, Lin is the daughter of the “last Regional Archon” who has earned the current Archon’s trust by her own merit. Known as Mirroria’s Special Consultant, she has been keeping the peace in Vera Plane and Mirroria.
Apparently, she’s a clean freak and a stickler for rules.
Lin’s signature weapon is the SSR Shadoweave.
