Greeting from Onigiri Service Team!
This is an announcement regarding the new system for enhancing Vanguard Swap Characters, scheduled for implementation in early December 2025.
With the Vanguard Swap Character Enhancement System, new enhancement features will be added to eligible characters through this update.
The first set of characters to receive enhancements are:
Miyamoto Musashi, Himiko and Murakami III.
In this new system, you will be able to unlock new Vanguard Abilities within the Partner Window.
What Are Vanguard Ability Unlocks?
Pioneer Abilities are effects shown in the Partner Window, such as [During Vanguard Swap, Slash +30], which grant increased stats when using the character as your Partner Character.
New types of Pioneer Abilities—such as Enemy Nature Bonus and Vanguard Gauge Boost—will be added.
Certain abilities require specific unlock conditions, including the use of new material items introduced with this system, as well as requirements such as Awakening Level or Affection Level.
Unlockable Vanguard Abilities differ for each character and will be added to eligible characters through updates.
Visualization of Enemy Nature Bonus
Enemy Nature Bonus refers to the hidden value that determines a character's effectiveness against Enemy Nature opponents, currently shown only as descriptions like Strong against Monster (M) in the Partner Window.
With the implementation of the new system, these Enemy Nature Bonus values will become visible.
By unlocking Vanguard Abilities, you will be able to further increase these values.
Skill Balance Adjustments
In addition to Pioneer Ability improvements, eligible characters will also receive skill balance adjustments aimed at strengthening certain skills.
These adjustments will apply regardless of whether Pioneer Abilities are unlocked, so please enjoy battling with the newly strengthened characters!
Further details regarding the enhancement system will be announced when the system is implemented.
We hope you look forward to it!
