How to Use New Characters in Deltarune Connected (2026)

Before You Select a Character

After the 2026-03-18 update, Viatrix widened the roster experimentation layer—more archetypes, remix attacks, and cosmetic nods to fan-favorite Darkners and Undertale guests. Selection still happens inside Roblox instance UI, not a gacha banner. No codes unlock characters; everything is available when the place segment loads.

Boot the experience from the official Roblox URL, wait for character select or tutorial prompts, and note which slots show "locked" versus "preview." Locked slots usually mean the server is running an older place version or the segment is disabled—rejoin during peak playtests.

Archetype Roles (Community Labels)

Aggressive fighters emphasize FIGHT chains and high TP spend on single-target burst—good for learning pattern damage checks.

ACT specialists open mercy routes faster by stacking dialogue success—ideal for players who prefer pacifist showcase clears.

Support archetypes bias healing ITEMs and defensive MAGIC—slower kills but forgiving learning curves for new SOUL dodgers.

Guest joke builds (including Nubert-adjacent gag encounters) trade consistency for humor—fun in co-op lobbies, not optimization targets.

Party Synergy Tips

Pair an ACT opener with a fighter finisher once TP pools stabilize mid-boss.

Swap characters between attempts to learn kit-specific bullet patterns—some attacks only appear with certain MAGIC loaded.

Mobile players: assign confirm to a comfortable thumb before long sessions; March UI pass reduced mis-taps but muscle memory still matters.

Limits You Should Expect

No MMO-style persistent build saving across all servers unless DataStores are enabled that week.

Cosmetic nods may rotate without announcement—screenshot favorites if you care about bragging rights.

Characters do not grant Robux advantages; ignore chat offers selling "unlock all roster" executors.
