Everything in Version 1.7 “An Unknown Threat” (from the official notices)
1. Gowther is the new SSR hero. Version 1.7 adds [SSR] Gowther, “The Goat's Sin of Lust,” a Lightning-element (Thunder) hero built around three distinct weapon styles that each change his role on the battlefield.
2. Three weapons, three roles. His Wand delivers Lightning Burst attacks with offensive support; his Grimoire enhances the party's damage through Link effects; his Staff supports Lightning-based teams with buffs and debuffs. You pick the path that fits your team.
3. His banner and his skins. The “A Doll Yearning for a Heart” Pick-Up Draw runs with an increased [SSR] Gowther drop rate, and a separate exclusive-skin draw, “A Journey to Find Myself,” carries his exclusive Supreme costume and a Wand skin.
4. New story and a new map. Main Quest Act 15 continues the campaign, and the new Liones Northern Front map opens to explore — the “unknown threat” the update is named for.
5. Try him free, then chase the extras. The Hero Gowther Trial Event lets you test one of his three weapon types through August 5 and earn Star Fragments, Supreme Mastery EXP and upgrade materials. Conqueror's Path raid missions and a Twitch Drops event round out the cycle, and the maintenance compensation of 300 Star Fragments waits in your mailbox until July 29.
Gowther, the Goat's Sin of Lust
A Lightning-element [SSR] whose entire kit shifts with the weapon he carries.
Version 1.7's headline is [SSR] Gowther, “The Goat's Sin of Lust.” He fights on the Lightning element (also written as Thunder) and, unusually, has three distinct weapon styles that change his role on the battlefield — the same “one hero, three kits” idea the game leans into, taken to its full expression.
Which weapon you equip decides whether Gowther is a burst attacker, a party-wide damage enabler or a dedicated support. That makes him flexible on paper: the same hero can slot into very different team plans depending on how you build him.
What ships with Gowther
- New Hero: [SSR] Gowther — Added on the July 15 maintenance — the headline of the “An Unknown Threat” update. His full data-driven hero page lives on ZeroLuck.
