Summary of the update
New Substeam - Project OZ.
New Ship - Chorus.
Banner Rerun - Alex and Lyudmilla.
Operator Rerun - Serina Crew and Chloe Starseeker.
New Challenge Stage – Old Administration Training Method
New Raid Boss Season - Britra
New Ship - Chorus
Chorus is a great PVE ship that replaces Kamiizumi in Raids, but in other PVE modes, it's still inferior to it.
In PVP while the ship on paper looks like good pair for the Elysium faction, Maestro still prefers using other ships that give her and her faction more important buffs than EVA.
