- Aqua Dragon (Water): Improves defense and healing with a water barrier.
- Whirlwind Tiger (Wind): Enhances agility with a wind shield for evasion.
- Naturespirit Deer (Earth): Summons a deer for rapid travel and enemy marking.
These powers will play a significant role in the new Sacred Quartet themed mode.
2. Sacred Quartet Mode
