Let's start by covering the main changes of v1.5 compared to v1.42.
New Character Rare Skills
Rare skill are marked with a red border.
Rare skills are stronger than other skills or have better potential depending on your team composition.

(For example, this new skill will allow you to draw 2 skills and give them Hollowed Sword buff.)
Whenever Lucy learns a new Draw Skill, it will combo with one of your party members.
New Keyword, 'Count'
