Targeting the reveal of 8 characters within the year.

  • The eight break down as 1 + 1 + 4 + 2: the four Visual Brush-Ups are existing characters getting a new look, so only four of the eight are genuinely new.
  • The Core Fusion lineup is not included at this time; it will be updated once the update policy is finalized.

Pick-Up Improvements (August 25)

The basic Recruit rules and rates remain unchanged; the following elements are added.

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.
