What Version 4.7 adds
- Aeon ★ Aha (5-star, Path of Elation) makes their debut. In combat, Aha makes the Path of Elation "ascend" for Elation characters, stars in the new "Aha Instant", gains Wishpower from the whole team for an Ultimate dealing Elation DMG to all enemies, and lets ally attacks reduce enemies' Max HP (press release).
- Reruns: Silver Wolf LV.999, Sparxie and Yao Guang in the first half of the version; Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan in the second half.
- Affinitive Eidolon: a new growth system that gives additional abilities to designated characters once you own them and unlock their Affinitive Eidolon. Acheron, Dan Heng • Imbibitor Lunae and Jing Yuan are the first ones.
- Story: the Trailblaze Mission "Now, Lay Laughter to All Stars" closes the Planarcadia arc. It is permanent, requires Trailblaze Level 21 and rewards a Superimposition 5 Light Cone, "See You at the World's End!". HoYoverse recommends finishing "Astropolis — Dance With the Beast Before Moonrise" first.
- Events and modes: "The Fluffy Movie: Overheated" (run a dessert shop with Aha), the combat event "Interastral Peace Gala: Road to Fame", the second season of Currency Wars, "Voyage Into the Canvas", and "Phantasia Showstage", where Aha's limited outfit "Star Lotto" can be obtained.
