Project LUMINA has made the first downloadable content available for free in the 2D fighting game MELTY BLOOD: TYPE LUMINA for PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and Steam starting January 13.
This DLC includes playable characters for Aoko Aozaki and Dead Apostle Noel, as well as stories for each character and new stages.
Aoko Aozaki
Lore: One of only five magicians who exist in the world. Successor to the Fifth Magician. Overall, she is not considered a skilled magician. However, when it comes to “destructive” power, she is unrivaled in her talents. The sight of her raining down bullets like hot geysers has also given her the direct, yet rather tasteless nickname, “Magic Gunner”.
Who she learned it from is unknown, but she is also familiar with martial arts, and has a battle style that could be considered a hybrid of those martial arts and magic.
She encountered Shiki on her travels. She gave him his glasses that suppress his Mystic Eyes, and taught him the value of living things and how to handle things. For that reason, Shiki respects her and calls her his teacher. She’s a difficult person to pin down. She believes in justice, is unreliable, and a vagabond.
Battle Preview
Gameplay
A versatile character with set techniques and long-range magical attacks that add pressure. Her mobility and martial arts make her a tricky opponent.
Aoko Aozaki excels at a battle style that involves restricting enemy movement with long-range attacks and set projectiles, while punishing foes with both long- and close-range combos whenever they leave an opening. She has a wide variety of techniques at both short and long range, and her tricky versatility makes her an opponent who can hold her own in any situation if played well.
She is also a powerful character in the air, with her high mobility, triple-jumps, and special ability to Aerial Dash twice.
Dead Apostle Noel
Lore: A certain executor who has become a dead apostle. She now appears as a girl at her most lovely, who has also acquired the Mystic Eyes of Roses in addition to the abilities of a dead apostle.
She is able to forcefully remove the soul of her target and lock them away in her Mystic Eyes of Roses, where they experience an unending nightmare. Not only that, but she is also able to manipulate a large number of spears (bells) in a battle style evocative of a dancing butterfly.

Gameplay
Dead Apostle Noel is a medium to long-range type character with long reach, a variety of projectiles, and also powerful Set attacks she can use at any time. She excels at a battle style that involves tactical retreats and keeping her distance, while using projectiles and Set techniques to disrupt enemy movements.
New Stages
The first DLC adds three new stages, “Summer Sky”, “Magician’s Night EX”, and “Crimson Chapel”. Choose “Magician’s Night EX” when selecting a stage and use “Aoko Aozaki” to see a different starry sky! We hope you enjoy these stages for a change of pace!
