Sephiria character types
“Character” can mean several different things in Sephiria. Use the category that matches what you are trying to find instead of treating every named creature as a playable skin.
| Character type | What it means | Where to continue |
|---|---|---|
| Playable Costume | A pre-run choice that changes stats, starting items, movement, resources, or build scaling | All 27 Costumes, effects, and unlocks |
| Costume Appearance | A cosmetic variant of an existing Costume; it does not create a new mechanical loadout | Costumes and skins guide |
| Quest NPC | A village or story character that supplies dialogue, quests, or progression | All three Elru locations |
| Artifact Companion | An allied unit created or summoned by an Artifact | Build guide |
| Enemy or boss | A combat encounter inside the tower or story route | Boss and stage guide |
Playable characters are Costumes
The recorded v1.0.24 roster contains 27 playable Costumes: eight default and 19 unlockable. These are not ordinary outfits. A Costume can change Defense, Max HP, Critical Chance, Dash rules, MP, inventory capacity, starting items, or a damage system.
Open the complete Sephiria Costumes directory for every name, effect, drawback, unlock requirement, and build recommendation. Keeping the full directory on one page gives players and search engines a single answer for “Sephiria costumes,” “all costumes,” and “Sephiria skins.”
Elru and other quest NPCs
Elru is a quest NPC, not a playable Costume. The Elusive Elru or Ask Around objective uses three reported hiding places: southwest of the Carrot Farm, above the Clothing Shop near the upper-right pond, and behind the first pillar counted from the lower-right side of the Ark puzzle room.
Follow the Elru locations walkthrough for the ordered route, video, and troubleshooting. Other Bunnyville residents and story characters should remain in the NPC category unless they appear in the current Costume selection interface.
Artifact Companions
Companions are allied combat units created or summoned by Artifacts. Spirit Mole, Mini Ballista, and Electric Jellyfish are examples documented in community material. They can belong to a build, but they are not selected as playable Costumes.
Companion scaling should be checked against the current Artifact tooltip. A Costume such as Mole can support Companion Damage without turning the companion into another playable character.
Bosses and encounters
Boss names belong to the encounter archive rather than the playable roster. Official material confirms more than 10 unique bosses; the Sephiria bosses guide organizes the documented stage encounters and focuses on attack patterns, safe lanes, and damage windows.
