### Additional Notes
- **Featured Resonators**: The event aligns with the Version 2.4 Phase 2 banner schedule, prominently featuring Lupa (debut 5-star Havoc Resonator) starting July 3, 2025. Other Resonators like Phrolova and select 4-stars may also be available, refreshing with the banner cycle.
- **Purpose**: Ascendant Aces is ideal for players undecided about pulling for Lupa or other featured Resonators, as it provides hands-on experience with their kits.
- **Gameplay Tips**:
- Focus on learning Lupa’s Havoc abilities, which excel in high-damage, fast-paced combat, especially if considering her for endgame content like boss fights.
- Trials are straightforward but may include challenging Tacet Discords, so familiarize yourself with the Resonator’s combos and skills during the trial.
- Check the Events menu regularly, as the event refreshes with new Resonators when new Character Event Convene banners drop.
- **Bugs**: If you encounter issues (e.g., trial not loading), try restarting the game or checking for updates, as minor bugs were reported in earlier versions.
