The fragments of "Su Jinglei" and "Shinohara Mari", which could only be acquired from packages, are added to Mileage Fragment Box.

The fragments of "Oboro" and "Makishima Ayame", which can also be acquired from Exchange Post - Clan Token, are excluded, maintaining the overall drop rate of the Mileage Fragment Box.

  • New items added

Added the following items in the Exchange Post - Mileage.

EXP Chip, Repeat Battle Ticket, Blueprint, Promotion Certificate: ☆4, Promotion Certificate: ☆5, Skill Textbook: Epic, Skill Textbook: Legend

  1. Improvements in Weapon Development

Reduced the required amount of blueprints overall when developing weapons for characters in the Assemble list.

  • Rare: 800 → 600

  • Epic: 1200 → 900

  • Legendary: 1600 → 1200

The blueprint difference is compensated through mailbox to Captains who have already developed the weapons before the change.

  1. Improvements and bug fixes

└ Boss info. screen has been improved to show the boss's type and role.

└ Character skill screen has been improved to show an icon of a character that changes skill effects when deployed together.

  • Example: Shinganji Kurenai's icon appears at the bottom of the description of Makishima Ayame's 2nd skill, Ninja Art: Wind Reading.

└ Skill upgrade has been improved to show a warning message when using a Skill Textbook whose rarity is higher than the character's.

└ Character training has been improved to deactivate characters who meet certain conditions from the list. (Set in Clan facilities, deployed in Arena Defense Team, locked, etc.)

└ A warning message now appears when selecting a character that can't be used as a material.

└ Clan facilities have been improved to include higher rarity characters than required conditions.

  • Example: If a condition requires "Epic" characters, "Legendary" characters now also meet the condition.

└ Changed the faster ultimate cutscene button at the top right of the battle screen to SKIP button so that its feature can be more intuitive.

└ Camera mode change button has been improved to display an explanation of changes.

└ The Max. number of Repeat Battle has been increased from 100 to 1,000, and MIN & MAX buttons have been added.

└ The matchmaking button has been added to the right side of the exit button in the Arena result screen.

└ The gold acquisition from Extermination has increased significantly.

└ Rewards from Clan facilities and Daily Quests have been increased significantly.

└ Instead of Repeat Battle button, the new feature, 'Quick Play' button is now displayed when achieving ☆3 in Special Ops.

└ All and Reset buttons have been added to the selective challenge in Extermination - Challenge Mode.

└ Players' Clan tags are now displayed in the Arena rankings and match results.

└ Overall effect values of Aura skills that are exclusive to Special Ops have been increased.

└ An indicator has been added to let the players intuitively know when effects are blocked by buff/debuff block skills.

└ The earned Arena scores have been increased in Bronze & Silver tiers, and the matchmaking system for those tiers has been improved to match players with similar scores.

(This is not applied to Gold and Platinum tiers.)

└ Fixed an anomaly where the last part of the Clan notice is not displayed in Clan HQ's main screen.

└ Fixed an anomaly where some texts in Max. Heart guide messages are displayed incorrectly.

└ Fixed an anomaly where ally's turn does not return in Main Story Chapter 1 - Challenge Mode under certain circumstances.

└ Fixed an anomaly where characters move incorrectly when they are defeated while Healing Over Time and Damage Over Time are applied simultaneously.

└ Fixed an anomaly where the game system incorrectly works in certain circumstances when applying filters while only 1 material is available in character Training.

└ Revised typos and awkward expressions in some languages.

Thank you.
