Dear Navigators:
This update will be deployed using \[zero-downtime maintenance].
During maintenance, you can still log into the game normally and participate in matches, but the servers may experience brief fluctuations. We appreciate your understanding.
Once maintenance is complete, you'll be prompted to \[Update the Game]. Please follow the instructions to update your client to the latest version. After logging back in, you'll be ready to experience everything new this patch!
If you are in the middle of a match when maintenance ends, you will receive an \[Update Prompt] after the match concludes. Your gaming experience will not be affected.
If you exit the game before maintenance ends and click \[Update] to re-enter after maintenance, you may be unable to reconnect to your previous match. We recommend planning your playtime carefully to avoid impacting your match experience.
The maintenance duration may be adjusted based on actual circumstances. If an extension is needed, an advance notice will be posted on the official website. Thank you for your understanding.

▽ Update Content
1. New Map
\[New Demolition Map — Lebrun City]
A rising coastal city in the south, Lebrun City is defined by its prime harbor and strategic location. As urban renewal accelerates, soaring skyscrapers stand across the street from aging residential blocks, marking the crossroads of two eras.
Strategy:
Control the mid-lane to enable efficient rotations and support plays.
Tactically placing Tattletales can significantly reinforce your defensive setup.
The sewer is a strong flanking route, but watch out for enemies using it the same way.
2. Gameplay Updates
\[Outbreak]
Random Events Phase 2
Several new opening random events have been added, along with a slight increase to the overall event spawn rate.
Card System Updates & Optimizations
Card Trial Extravaganza: 6 brand-new trial decks are now available, and they will not rotate out this season.
Slightly improved the spread on Enhanced Ignis.
Outbreak Balance Adjustments
Superstrings now gain XP from dealing damage at a faster rate.
Previously, each level-up granted Superstrings +5% Damage. This has been changed to: each level-up now grants +5% Weapon Damage.
The Blast Fiend's self-destruct ultimate can no longer trigger the Armor Forger card effect.
The number of decks a Navigator can create has been increased from 6 to 9.
Crystalline Starting HP and Level-up HP Adjustments:
Blast Fiend's Starting HP (Before → After): 3000 → 2000; Lv.10 Level-Up HP (Before → After): 600 → 1600
Bloodthorn Empress's Starting HP (Before → After): 3300 → 2300; Lv.10 Level-Up HP (Before → After): 650 → 1600
Blade Fiend's Starting HP (Before → After): 2800 → 2300; Lv.10 Level-Up HP (Before → After): 500 → 1600
Darkthorn Empress's Starting HP (Before → After): 3300 → 2300; Lv.10 Level-Up HP (Before → After): 800 → 1600
Lilith's Starting HP (Before → After): 3000 → 2000; Lv.10 Level-Up HP (Before → After): 800 → 1600
When Bai Mo's ultimate triggers its return effect, it now leaves behind several empowered grenades at the position it returned from.
\[MAP WORKSHOP]
A new mode option has been added to Map Workshop: Boom Fest.
New Soccer Kit modules added: \[Soccer Ball], \[Scoreboard], and \[Goal Zone].
Official Mascot Tip No. 1: One \[Scoreboard] can be linked to multiple \[Goal Zones] by pressing F—all goals scored in those zones will be tallied on a single board. (Navigators can also experiment with this to make billiards or other custom match formats.)
Official Mascot Tip No. 2: Alternatively, press F to link one \[Scoreboard] to a single \[Goal Zone]—set up two scoreboards facing each other, one per team, each linked to their own goal, and you've got a proper soccer match going, meow.
The \[Glide Ring] and \[New Glide Ring] can now be configured by pressing G to toggle whether they align a Navigator's flight direction to the ring's airstream—perfect for creating fast-lane course experiences.
3. Balance Adjustments
\[Overall Weapon Adjustments]
Shotgun spread when stationary has been adjusted to match the spread when moving.
Slightly improved the spread on Ignis.
Optimized input buffering for the Ninjato and War Scythe, slightly reducing the chance of accidental extra combos from unintended inputs.
