Patch 1.2 brings a ton of new content to the game, including a new area, new events, new characters, and even new weapons and artifacts! Please use this thread to discuss the new additions to the game, discuss how you're planning on using the new artifact sets, etc.

Message from the Modteam:

Please be aware that we will be cracking down on low-effort video posts trying to capitalize on the new patch, such as chest posts, rolls on the new banner, etc.

Please try to keep questions about the new weapons/characters and their synergies or lack thereof to the appropriate megathreads. This includes asking which artifacts or weapons to use on a particular character.

Last but not least, please remember to properly spoiler tag any story-related content like this:
