39th Firefly ACG EXPO — Completed July 20, 2026
From July 17–20, 2026, Silver Palace completed Elementa's inaugural world tour southern China leg at the 39th Firefly ACG EXPO in Guangzhou—the largest anime and gaming convention in southern China following Shanghai's Bilibili World (July 10–12). Elementa's booth operated daily 09:00–17:00 at Hall 5, Booth A01 (5号馆 A01) in the Poly World Trade Center Expo Pavilion (琶洲保利世贸博览馆), confirmed via TapTap and official convention listings.
Admission required government-ID real-name tickets per Firefly 2026 rules, with last entry at 16:00 daily. Dichotomy Beta PC registration closed July 16—Firefly served as the primary hands-on path for newcomers without beta qualification during the July 18–19 weekend peak.

Demo Content
The Firefly build mirrors the Bilibili World 2026 curated experience—a 15-minute guided slice distinct from full Dichotomy Beta PC access:
Prologue Boss — Vita et Mors
Opens at Queen Feliana's medal ceremony with the silver-liquid dual-bodied prologue boss teaching yellow-circle parries and red-circle dodges. Strategy details on our Vita et Mors boss guide.
City Exploration & Mid-Boss
Horse-mounted traversal through Paris-inspired streets, mob patrol clears, and a mounted knight mid-boss testing the refined parry system and execution loop.
Cinderella Encounter (Demo-Tuned)
Concludes with the iconic burning train sequence into a toned-down Cinderella boss fight for floor accessibility.
Playable Characters
Detective protagonist, Cinderella, Supervisor Rex, and Red Rose—matching the BW2026 roster.
What Changed Since Monotype
Attendees experience July 2026 combat refinements firsthand: split parry/dodge inputs, E-key skills, bottom-left party HUD, extended parry windows, and prominent execution prompts documented in our Bilibili World 2026 report. Fami通 and 4Gamer praise applies equally to the Firefly floor build.
Merchandise & Exclusives
Convention-exclusive investigation file bags, character data cards, and film-strip bookmarks return from BW2026—quantities limited daily. Victorian-themed photo ops with Silverium Pegasus standees continue the booth's church aesthetic.
What's Next
Firefly concluded July 20; the tour advances to Anime NYC (August 20–23), gamescom (August 26–30), and gamescom Asia (October 29–November 1). Track all stops on our world tour schedule and pre-register for launch notifications—4 million+ global signups plus 1.21 million TapTap China registrations.
