- New Game Mode: Union War! Separate into player groups called Unions and aim for the top of the leaderboards.
- First, this will be introduced in a preview event three times a day (4:00 am/2:00 pm/9:00 pm UTC) from Nov 28 to Dec 12.
- Each player sets a Union Tag. Players with matching Union Tags are considered to be in the same union.
- Players with the same Union Tag are more likely to be matched in the same Battle and on the same Army.
- During the preview event, you can only select from preset Unions.
- Each player earns rank points from Battle results. The overall Union Ranking is determined by Union Points which are calculated from the rank points earned by each player belonging to the union.
- Union ranking is determined by the sum of all members' rank points, and each player's rank is multiplied by a multiplier (influence coefficient) according to his/her rank in the members' ranking.
- Members ranked 1~10 within their Union have their points tripled, while those ranked 101st and below have their points multiplied by 0.1. This means that even a union with a relatively small number of members may be able to compete with a union with a large number of members depending on the performance of its top members!
- The point system for Deploying Characters with high-ranking Titles will be changed.
- When a character respawns, this will cost Deploy Points.
- Deploy points increase over time; the later in the Battle, the more points obtained.
- Deploy points also increase when your Army’s Core is damaged.
- A preview event for this mode will be held on the following dates (all times in UTC):
- 9:00 am November 28 to 8:59 am December 1
- 9:00 am December 2 to 8:59 am December 4
- Major Change to Battle Rules
- The current system, which allows players to Deploy Characters with higher Title Ranks earlier by earning Valor Points, frequently resulted in the team that won the battle early on by Deploying Characters with high ranked Titles, causing the development of the game to become one-sided. Furthermore, the actions that lead to victory change depending on the situation, which makes it difficult to create a comprehensive evaluation system for earning Valor Points. This new system awards point over time, making it easier to formulate strategies for which character to Deploy at which point in time. We also hope that this system will make it easier for comebacks to occur by awarding points to Armies that have taken damage to their Cores.
- New Squad Respawn System
- You will now be able to Warp/respawn at a Squad Member's location to make it easier to act as part of a Squad.
- However, a Squad Warp or Squad respawn cannot occur under the following conditions:
- When the target Squad member is in an enemy keep
- When the target Squad member is near an enemy
- New Mage skill: Snow Vortex
- A violent whirlwind of snow that inflicts ice damage and freezes enemies in range.
- A sound effect now plays when Protection is lost due to an enemy attack.
- In order to open room for more varied Mage Titles, and to make the Titles more consistent with their characteristics, Title names, unlock conditions, and characteristics of some Mage Titles will be changed.

- If triggered, other warp gates created by Squad mates will be destroyed.

- The performance of Wave Blaster has been adjusted.
- Due to the small size of low-level Wave Blasters making effective use difficult, size adjustments will be made. Additionally, since the attackable time after staggering was short, stagger duration will be adjusted.
