Adjustment to the Number of Participating Characters
In the new version, the number of participating characters in all three modes has been reduced by two, with additional characters added to the roster. The level requirements for participating characters remain unchanged. Moreover, once the required number of characters is met in the team, inviting an extra "standby character" will allow players to obtain more "Floral Favors" and increase the "Blessing Level" at the beginning of challenges, enhancing combat efficiency for everyone.
Floral Favors x30 x Additional Characters
Blessing Level 2 x Additional Characters
For example, in Hard Mode, the number of characters can fluctuate between 16 and 20, and the maximum initial level for characters can be 8, with more Floral Favors carried.
This adjustment lowers the minimum number of characters, increases the base values of participating characters, and reduces the entry barrier for this gameplay mode. Additional characters can also help players handle battles more easily!
If you don't have additional characters, there's no need to worry. The new "Radiant Blessing" strategy introduced later in the text will also enhance combat bonuses.
"Radiant Blessing" Strategy
Elemental Reaction Bonus - "Radiant Blessing"
The "Radiant Blessing" type revolves around the elemental reaction system corresponding to the three designated elements for the current period. Each elemental reaction corresponds to a series of blessings that can provide significant combat bonuses for characters meeting the participation requirements for this period.
For the new session of Imaginarium Theater starting on September 1st, the designated elements are Fire, Water, and Grass elements.
When triggering the "Radiant Blessing," there is a chance for Little Wolf to appear and cheer for everyone.
Throughout the challenge, continuously selecting "Radiant Blessing" events can yield powerful bonus effects corresponding to the elemental reactions. For example, under the enhancement of some blooming blessings, not only can more strengthened Grassfield Cores be generated in battles, but the damage they inflict can also be significantly increased.
Furthermore, when upgrading "Radiant Blessing," different branches can be chosen. Players can select based on their current lineup of characters, providing not only more fitting combat bonuses for the active team but also adding more fun to the preparation process.
Attribute Bonus - "Blessing Level"
The "Blessing Level" can provide additional attribute bonuses to the team, further helping everyone to smoothly clear stages.
If your Blessing Level is 13,during performances, character's maximum HP increases by 10,400 points, attack increases by 650 points, defense increases by 650 points, and elemental mastery increases by 260 points. Obtain Radiant Blessings or bring additional characters to unlock gameplay to increase the Blessing Level.
Ways to increase the "Blessing Level":
Increasing the level of "Radiant Blessings" will increase the "Blessing Level," and levels of different types of "Radiant Blessings" can stack.
For each additional character brought in, the Blessing Level can be increased by 2 levels.
New Outstanding Mode
Starting from September 1st, for players seeking higher difficulty, after clearing the Hard Mode in any session of "Phantasmagoria Theater Mechanicus" in the Regular Challenge series, the high-difficulty "Outstanding Mode" will be unlocked. After completing 10 battles, players will receive corresponding "Tour Rewards."
Participation Requirements: At least 22 characters, with character levels reaching 70, and up to 4 additional characters can be brought along, including 1 supporting character.
New Cumulative Rewards: Tour Rewards + Initial Performance Gifts
Additionally, after completing 10 battle performances and settling in each session of "Phantasmagoria Theater Mechanicus," players can receive a "Trail Key" in the "Trail of Painted Shadows" gameplay.
Other Adjustments
1. The number of "Floral Favors" obtained from completing "Normal Battle" and "Guardian Battle" segments during performances has been increased to 90, and the extra challenges in "Battle Events" have been removed.
2. The number of uses for the Backtrack function has been increased to 2 times (in any difficulty mode except for Light and Simple Mode).
3. Special feedback channels are provided.
