New Characters

Release plan for the rest of the year

Demiurge

Seasonal Limited

Visual Rework
2
Standard

Preparations are under way with the goal of unveiling 8 characters before the end of the year.

  • The eight break down as 1 + 1 + 4 + 2: the four visual reworks are existing characters getting a new look, so only four of the eight are genuinely new.
  • The Core Fusion line-up is not included in these figures; it will be updated once the update policy is settled.

Story RenewalAdded a region-switch transition to the Adventure screen. Region buttons now show EX stage clear status and the number of ★ earned. EX stage icons redesigned for better readability. Guide Quests added to Story [Hard] and Origin [Hard].August 11
Dimensional Singularity — 2nd waveSingularity activation and enhancement can now be done together on the enhancement screen. Added a “Practice Mode” you can retry as often as you like. When rerolling Singularity options, you can now compare the old and new options before choosing whether to apply them. Clearer explanations of how certain options are applied.August 25
Terminus Isle reworkGuaranteed weather change no longer requires the monthly purchase. Exploration time removed: results can be checked at the same time as the team is set. Per-tier balance: weather penalties and formation bonuses tuned tier by tier to remove the disadvantage at lower tiers, plus first-clear rewards per tier. Bulk exploration skip: check all available explorations at once and claim the rewards. Gift growth completion time cut to roughly 30–40% of what it used to be.August 25

Recruitment improvements (August 25)

The basic recruitment rules and rates stay as they are; the following is added on top.

Full rules, rates and mileage for every banner: Banner & Mileage.

Rate Up and Limited banners

  • Covers Rate Up, Seasonal Limited and Festival Limited banners.
  • The featured hero is guaranteed within 100 recruits, twice at most per banner.
  • Progress is tracked per banner and never shared between them.
  • Guarantees used and progress reset when the banner ends.

Premium Banner (Demiurge)

  • The selected Demiurge hero is guaranteed within 100 recruits, once per Demiurge hero.
  • Progress is tracked per hero and switching your selection resets nothing: 50 recruits on one, switch to another and it starts at 0 — come back to the first and you resume at 50.

Dimensional Supply

  • The banner that recruits gear instead of heroes.
  • Monthly acquisition opportunities adjusted for the highest-value gear.

“Titia” is a provisional romanisation of ティティア — the character is not in the game data yet, so the official English name may differ.
