In-Game Adjustments During the Season Transition
During the season transition, we will adjust the Order Medallion, Valkyrie's Proving Grounds, and Gachapon Dispenser. The details are as follows:
Order Medallion
Throughout the Season Transition Period, you can still earn Medallion Points by completing tasks as usual. However, please note that the Gold Order Medallion and the Chevalier's Golden Order Medallion will not be available for purchase during this time.
Valkyrie's Proving Grounds
During the season transition, Valkyrie's Provings Leaderboard will no longer be updated. Challenges undertaken during this period will not contribute to the Leaderboard but won't affect ranking rewards. Nevertheless, you can still engage in Valkyrie's Proving Grounds to unlock and receive rewards corresponding to the floor levels.
Gachapon Dispenser
The current Gachapon Dispenser prizes will expire at the end of the season transition (July 18, 2024, 10:00 AM UTC+8). New prizes for the S3 Gachapon Dispenser, along with new Gachapon bundles, will become visible only after updating to the new season. Without updating, the gacha will prompt, "The prize pool of gacha pods is being updated, please come back later."
Provings Leaderboard Rewards
During the season transition, we will settle the rankings for players in S2. Here are the details:
- Rank rewards will be distributed based on the highest rank achieved among all characters on the account before 4:00 AM on July 15, 2024. These rewards will be distributed once Season 3 begins.
- Season 2 rank rewards are shared among all characters under the same account.
- After Season 2 ends, the previous season's ranks will be retained on the character page. You can check the ranks and floors of each character on the character page.
*Note: Deleting a character will also remove the corresponding rank records.
Apex Level Cap Increased
In S3, the Apex Level cap will increase to level 125. The inheritance rules for Apex Level will remain consistent with previous seasons:
If a seasonal character or pure seasonal character is below level 50, the effective Apex Points will be half of the character's level, and the Apex Talent Points will be unlocked accordingly.
Calculation Example: 30 (seasonal character / pure seasonal character level) ÷ 2 (inheritance limit) = 15 (effective seasonal Apex Points)
Character Classification
After the start of S3, all characters created before S3 will be classified as permanent characters. Only seasonal characters and pure seasonal characters can be created. For the differences between the three types of characters, please refer to the Season System Table!
- Novice players will default to creating pure seasonal characters.
- Players with past violations or cheating can only use pure seasonal characters for challenges and can't use equipment from previous seasons.
If you choose to create a seasonal character, you can use equipment from permanent characters, but the equipment's basic stats will be halved. If you choose to create a pure seasonal character, you can only use pure seasonal equipment and start your adventure in Mystraea anew.
Permanent, seasonal, and pure seasonal characters will display season or pure season markers next to their level on the login page.
Characters created during the season transition period will be classified as permanent characters once Season 3 begins.
- After the start of S3, characters created in previous seasons will not be deleted. Equipment and items obtained in previous seasons will not be reset or disappear.
- Four new character slots will be added for players to create new characters.
