Outfits

Outfits are an alternate appearance layer for combatants, tied to Season 4 «Shattered Light and Claw». This page summarizes exactly what's been announced about how outfits work, without guessing further.

How do outfits work?

An outfit replaces a combatant's default appearance on everyday screens (lobby, Ark City…), but does NOT show up in 3 places: Story, combat events, and Psychotherapy — the combatant reverts to their default appearance there even if an outfit is equipped.

3 Places Outfits Do NOT Apply

Even if equipped, an outfit will NOT show in the following 3 places — the combatant reverts to their default appearance:

Story
Combat Events
Psychotherapy (at Epione Center)

In other words: outfits are an appearance layer for everyday screens, not a full replacement of a character's art across every game mode.

What Else Do Outfits Unlock Besides Appearance?

Besides changing appearance, news coverage of Season 4 reports that the outfit system also unlocks DEDICATED VOICE LINES and a short SIDE STORY tied to each specific outfit — separate from the game's main Story (which is one of the 3 places outfits don't apply, see above). In other words: an outfit both changes appearance on everyday screens and comes with its own extra content (voice lines + a short vignette) once equipped — it's not just a visual swap.

Characters With Outfits

News coverage names 7 characters with outfits — the list below clearly separates characters with a CONFIRMED outfit from those still rumored or unconfirmed by sources.

Confirmed

Season 4 — Still Rumored / Sources Disagree

The 3 characters below are mentioned in Season 4 news coverage but without solid confirmation — especially Hilde: two news sources contradict each other, one saying Hilde will have an outfit right at launch, the other saying it's unconfirmed. Arabella and Olga are Season 4 Phase 2-3 characters who haven't launched in-game yet, so there's nothing further to verify.

Free Gift Date: Rei's Summer Outfit

As part of the Beach Café Festival summer event (Season 4), the game gifts a free summer outfit to Rei on a specific date.

Related: Affinity Unlocks Animated Wallpapers

Separately from outfits, raising a combatant's Affinity through Ark City also unlocks an animated wallpaper and other rewards — this is a SEPARATE system from outfits, not sharing the same on/off mechanic.

Context: Season 4 & the Beach Café Festival

The new outfits launch alongside the Beach Café Festival summer event (9 weeks, its own story + side events) in Season 4. See the full Season 4 timeline on the Seasons page.

The outfit mechanic and Rei's gift date are compiled from the founder's notes cross-checked against game update notes (sources not named here). Specific outfit names/prices aren't confirmed by any source, so they're not listed — only the announced mechanic is. The dedicated voice-lines/side-story mechanic and the list of characters with outfits are cross-checked against additional Season 4 news coverage (sources not named here); characters with conflicting sources are marked as such rather than picking one side.

Quick FAQ

Do outfits show up during story scenes?

No. Outfits do NOT apply during Story, combat events, or Psychotherapy — the combatant shows their default appearance in those 3 places even with an outfit equipped.

When does Rei get her summer outfit?

On 19/08/2026, for free, as part of Season 4's Beach Café Festival event.

Do outfits affect combat power?

No source confirms outfits changing stats or combat effects — they're an appearance layer, separate from the Affinity/animated wallpaper system.

Do outfits unlock anything besides a new look?

Yes. News coverage of Season 4 reports that each outfit comes with dedicated voice lines and a short side story tied to that specific outfit — bonus content separate from the game's main Story.
