In the v7.9 update, Sparkle's battlesuit, Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo!, will make its debut! Thousand-Faced Maestro: Cameo! is a QUA-type battlesuit. She can transform her Drive Core into a revolver and provoke enemies with her kicks to deal Fire DMG. The battlefield is like a stage for Sparkle to orchestrate a performance. During combat, she can freely switch between two mask forms: Monodrama and Dreamdiver to cast different illusions and pull everyone onto her stage of Elation. Not only is she an amazing Fire DMG support, but she can also deal significant Resonance DMG as part of a Resonance team when Astral Ring is activated. v7.9's update includes Sparkle's recommended weapon Volatile Sparkler and PRI-ARM Volatile Sparkler: Floral Spectacle, and Sparkle's stigma set named Inimitable Stage Director.
 
v7.9's main story Wails Stifled by the Silent Shadow will be taking place in the city of eternal night — Ruimu. Before Helia and the others arrive, Theresa and Durandal have already started their investigations. After the protagonists reach Ruimu, they stumble upon the venue of the 33rd Ten Shus War finals. As the story progresses, they will unravel the secret behind the tournament. This time, the main story event Excavate? Pursuit? Big Winner! involves equipping flowers, rolling dice, guessing numbers, and collecting rent to earn Golden Coins! The event When Petals Flutter will also be available, where players can obtain Herrscher of Human: Ego Character Card by completing any 4 out of 5 event missions. During a limited-time top-up bonuses event, players can accumulate top-ups to claim Weapon Direct Level-Up Coupon, Rank-Up Stamps, Source Prisms, Supply Cards, and more. In addition to the events, LITE functions have also been updated! After the v7.9 update, the Quick LITE feature will be added to Realms of Battle.
