Today, Hotta Studio dropped a preview gameplay video of Annabella, a fiery latest Simulacrum releasing in Tower of Fantasy on January twelfth.
Dressed as a maid, Annabella swings round her sniper rifle, Clover Cross, to scrub up enemies at range and unleashes devasting fire elemental power up close. Her debut video is more of a sneak peek of how she manages to take enemies down by shooting and bombing them away, but there was one ability that can likely scratch heads.
Residents of Mirroria once thought Annabella was a literal vampire that stalked the Lower City. In point of fact though, she’s only a busy girl with several part-time jobs! 😴
Considered one of her employers is more mysterious than the others though… 🤔#Annabella 🛎 #Jan12 #ToF #TowerofFantasy pic.twitter.com/g3WgOXmecD

As she yells “Ashes of Destruction” near the tip of the video, her gunshots transform enemies into coins straight out of a Mario game. Eventually, she magically pulls them toward her, and a hologram appears to clarify she accomplished her objective. The entire scenario could also be trailer video magic to spruce up her debut, so we’ll must see how this is applicable in-game.
Her backstory is that the residents of Mirroria once considered Annabella “a literal vampire that stalked the Lower City.” Nevertheless, Hotta explains, “she’s only a busy girl with several part-time jobs,” including cleansing up enemies with Clover Cross. The dev team also teased that one in every of her employers “is more mysterious than the others,” hinting perhaps a latest character is on the horizon.
