- To account for server-based matchmaking, ranking criteria have been slightly relaxed:
▶ [Summonhenge] Improvement
- The summoning animation has been improved to better distinguish between 4★ and 5★ Monster summons by different color effects.
- The summon animation for [Summon 10] has been streamlined for a smoother experience.
: During the sequence for [Summon 10], if a 4★ or 5★ Monster is summoned, the effect for that star grade will appear at the beginning of the sequence.
: A Skip button has been added to the result screen, allowing you to bypass the animations and view results instantly.
- A new [Summon 10] option using 680 Crystals has been added under [Mystical Summon].
▶ [Shop > Normal] Purchase Improvement
- You can now select the quantity of Summoner Packs, Premium Packs I and II, and Engrave Summon Premium Packs to purchase at once.
※ The monthly purchase limit for Premium Pack II has been increased from 3 to 5.
▶ Seasonal Update: Winter Theme
- Winter-themed visuals have been applied to the following: [Arena/World Arena/Guild Rival Battle/Siege Battle]
- You can toggle the seasonal theme on/off via [Game Settings > Options > Other Settings].
▶ [Game Introduction] Update
: [SWC 2024]: SWC 2024 World Champion profile and winner interviews have been added.

▶ Limited-Time! Ellia's Special Summon Mission
- Event Period: After the v8.5.6 update on Dec. 11 until Jan. 1, 11:59 PM (server time)

- [Artifact Management]: Sub property filters will now disable properties that are incompatible with certain Artifact types.
- [Siege Battle]: Monsters that cannot be used under specific conditions will now appear disabled in [Manage Monster Deck] under the battle preparation screen.

▶ [Shop > Efficient > Special Pack] Limited-time Holiday Summon Packs
- Sale Period: Dec. 15, 6:00 PM PST - Jan. 5, 11:59 PM (server time)
