Introducing the Bunny Missionary Paula a Platinum rarity Bishop. A hybrid mage who becomes a healer with skill on, this oppai-lolita is not just an upgraded version to Noel's variation of this gimmick, as Paula's Skill, Heal Magic Plus, is substantially longer lasting and with proportionally longer wind-up. In exchange, said skill gives both power and range multiplier. Not unlike certain Fae archer and healer (and no, Paula's not an elf herself). Awakening gives her extra oomph, by giving her bonus damage to undead (and later, when it will become a class feature, passively increasing power by 10% with no downside). Skill Awakening, whenever it hit our shore, is a rare example of a direct upgrade, simply gives her skill better multipliers and longer duration without even changing the cooldown and initial timers.
Overall, Paula is a good Platinum Mage with extra range that can become a great Platinum healer with even more range for a whole minute. Definitely a good investment.
Likewise, reintroducing the Magic Swordswoman Charlotte, the first Platinum unit of her class. Said class being melee spot ranged attacker (with decreased power in range compared to when attacking the blocked foe) with ability to switch from dealing physical damage to magical one on skill. This single most susceptible to mind control girl in all kingdoms is our "fast" Magic Fencer, as her skill comes up faster (and lasts the least) of all Magic Fencers. Awakening gives her chance to follow up every attack with another one immediately, without usual idle time. And Skill Awakening, whenever it hit our shores, will make her skill activate automatically with more power and less cooldowns between each activation. Good for AFK in general and Total Dominations in particular
She will be both drop completion reward for mission 7 and farmable drop in mission 9. This particular trend of having farm event girls as extra rewards for Star Trials will continue in the future, so if you find yourself wanting some copies, go wild!

Comments about the event
This Star Trial is generally hailed as a first genuinely difficult event of post-Awakening era. Variety of maps with different buffs to enemy units, powerful foes like dreaded Mummy Mage and the Demon King(s Shade) himself with his high health, damage and berserk form, all will need a good variety of highly-developed units. Prepare both powerful physical and magical damagers, a couple of tanks (you might even need to run two Heavies here!) and lightning rods, and of course a number of healers. Demon King(s Shade) will require special attention because like Vampire Lord back in Eden's event it will go bonkers when its health dips below half, buttraping your units with fast and furious ranged attacks. Ultimately, you might even want to break out your Eden and (Immortal) Karma to deal with him.
On a silver farming front, here's a run-down of possible drops:
- Soldier (Assal) (map 2);
- Archer (Soma) (map 2);
- Valkyrie (Misha) (map 3);
- Heavy (Bernard) (map 3):
- Samurai (Iroha) (map 4);
- Rogue (Barrad) (map 4);
- Bandit (Eunice) (map 5);
- Healer (Dorca) (map 5);
- Monk (Dan) (map 5);
- Magic Fencer (Ricardo) (map 7);
- Witch (Calliope) (map 8);
- Ninja (Saizo) (map 8);
- Pirate (Verotte) (map 9);
There's also a Tin Can on maps 4 and 9, and farmable Platinum - Magic Swordswoman Charlotte on map 9.

New Classes Being Introduced
Bowrider / Bowrider Chief / Bowrider EliteA melee spot ranged single-target attacker class with wide range (260) and speed of an Archer, that shares cavalry's refund more upon retreat trait, and deals half damage when blocking someone. They can have a good number of passive buffs working for them thanks to the existence of Cavalry-wide buffs on top of their class-specific ones. Oh, and eventually they will become zero-block while using their skills after Awakening. All in all, a good addition. One can never have too many melee ranger options :P
Viva la mini Farm event in Star event!!!
