Bangboo

Free Initial Bangboo - Eous

Eous is the first Bangboo you will get for free and it acts as your double in the Hollow (You can't go to Hollow, so you possess this Bangboo's body to navigate in the Hollow).

Modifying Eous

Once you have completed the commission "No Guts No Glory," you can modify Eous at the remodeling shop Turbo to unlock additional features during Hollow explorations. To modify Eous, you need to complete Chip Splicing in the operation panel.

All Bangboo Chips are categorized into 4 ranks: S, A, B, and C. Chips of different ranks occupy different number of chip slots.

Once you have configured a new set of chips, tap the Power Button in the upper right corner to save and activate your chip set. You can customize your chip set to fit the commission before entering the Hollow.

You can exchange Ether Fluid for chips at the remodeling shop.

Combat Bangboo

Unlike Eous who provides benefits during exploration, Combat Bangboo will fight alongside you in the Hollow (Can be obtained from wishing in Signal Search).

Each Combat Bangboo possesses unique combat skills, as well as passive skills that enhance your Agents' combat abilities. Selecting Bangboo that align with your squad's combat style can make battles in the Hollow easier.

• While Combat Bangboo cannot be modified, you can use Bangboo Software to level them up.
• Once a Combat Bangboo reaches a certain level, you can use Ether Fluid for Bangboo System Optimization.

When you obtain Bangboo that you already own, they will be automatically converted into Logic Cores.
You can use Logic Cores to Update your Bangboo's cores and enhance their skill effects.
