Patch Notes 0.2.0: A New Era of Progress and Rewards

Welcome to the next step in your adventure! We've implemented a completely new economy and reward system to ensure that every battle, achievement, and pull has real meaning. Below, we explain all the new features and how they'll transform your gameplay experience.


1. New Currencies

For the first time, we've introduced an in-game currency system to help you manage your resources more effectively:


πŸ’° Zeny: The game's primary currency, earned through battles and progression. Use it to upgrade your team, buy items, or convert it into Gacha pulls.


🎟️ Ibit: A premium currency that can be earned through gameplay or converted from Zeny. It’s used for Gacha pulls to obtain skills, gear, and more.


Why is this important?

Previously, players couldn’t effectively track or manage their resources. Now, every match generates meaningful rewards and brings players closer to exciting new content.


2. Gacha System: Your Gateway to Power


The Gacha system is here, giving you access to skills, upgrades, equipment, and even exclusive skins. With each pull, you can unlock:


πŸƒ Skill Cards: Customize your playstyle by upgrading your Valiants' abilities.

πŸ”§ Upgrades: Boost your team with special effects and bonuses.

πŸ›‘οΈ Equipment: Equip your Valiants with specific strategies in mind.

🎭 Exclusive Skins: Show off your achievements with unique styles.

πŸ’° Currency Packs: Get extra Zeny directly from the Gacha.


Why is this important?

The Gacha system adds excitement to game progression, allowing players to personalize their experience in unique ways.


3. Battle Pass: A Path of Rewards

The new Battle Pass will accompany you in your journey, offering over 50 rewards throughout the season. It’s divided into two tiers:


πŸ”“ Free Path: Available to all players, granting access to basic rewards.

🌟 Premium Path: Unlocks additional rewards for those looking to maximize their progress.


Why is this important?

Progression is now more visible, structured, and rewarding, making every victory count.


4. Duplicate Rewards: Every Pull Matters

Now, duplicate items obtained from the Gacha won’t go to waste. Instead, they will be converted into Zeny based on their rarity.


Why is this important?

Every pull has value, as even duplicates contribute to your overall progression.


5. Progression

Earning Zeny has never been more balanced:


πŸ† Match Rewards: Win or lose, you’ll receive currency to keep progressing.

πŸ“… Daily Play, Steady Progress: Both casual and dedicated players will have opportunities to advance.


Why is this important?

Every match has a purpose, and progression feels fair without being excessive.


6. Leaderboard with Rank Tiers

The previous leaderboard system has been upgraded while keeping a fair ELO system to reward competition. ELO is a ranking system that measures your skill level. Here’s how it works:


βœ… Win a match β†’ Earn points.

❌ Lose a match β†’ You may lose points.


The number of points gained or lost depends on your opponent: Defeating a higher-ranked player earns you more points, while losing to a lower-ranked player results in a greater point loss.


Ranks and Points

The system includes seven main ranks, each with a point (ELO) requirement:


πŸ”° Novice: 0 points

πŸ₯‰ Bronze: 100 points

πŸ₯ˆ Silver: 500 points

πŸ₯‡ Gold: 1000 points

πŸ’Ž Platinum: 2000 points

πŸ’  Diamond: 3000 points

πŸ”₯ Valiant: 5000 points


Each time you surpass a rank’s point threshold, you advance to the next level.


How do points change?

πŸ“Š The system calculates an expected outcome for each match.


πŸ”₯ Defeating a stronger opponent = more points gained.

⚠️ Losing to a lower-ranked player = more points lost.


πŸ“‰ If you accumulate too many losses, your ELO will drop, but it will never fall below 0. Losing enough points could cause you to be demoted to a lower rank.


Why this system?

βœ”οΈ Fairness: Rewards players who overcome tough challenges.

πŸ“ˆ Clear Progression: You'll always know how many points you need to rank up.

πŸ† Motivation: Every rank-up feels like a real achievement.


Why is this update a game-changer?

Previously, the game lacked clear incentives for progression. With this patch, we've introduced:


βœ… Currencies that allow you to track progress and set tangible goals.

βœ… A Battle Pass that structures progression and rewards.

βœ… A Gacha System that adds excitement and variety to the game.

βœ… Duplicate Conversion to ensure that every pull is valuable.


Now, every battle matters, every pull excites, and every player advances.


πŸš€ Big things are coming!
