Greetings to all the influential figures of the empire!

[h2]The first major update is finally being implemented.[/h2]
Server maintenance for the major update will be conducted starting at [h3]2:00 PM (JST) on September 6th.[/h3]
*Please note that the maintenance is expected to take approximately 2 hours.

[h2]Introduction of a New Princess[/h2]


Introducing the new princess 'Far East Princess of Sums, Ohka' from 'Far East Territory,' which is finally being implemented.

The ability from the original version, 'Banish two cards to gain a new card,' remains intact but has evolved to become even more user-friendly and powerful.
Now, not only can you target cards from your hand, but you can also include cards played that turn in the ability, eliminating any loss of tempo.
Although the gained card goes to the top of your deck instead of your hand, which might seem like a nerf at first, it allows you to use the acquired card with the ability again on the next turn, making deck compression easier to achieve every turn.

While it's no longer possible to gain an 'Imperial Crown' with her ability, her potential more than makes up for it.
The more times you can use her ability, the better, making her synergize well with rapid coronations.
However, be cautious in situations where attack cards that force discarding are common or where the supply lacks specific-cost cards, as you might not be able to use her ability as effectively as expected.

[h2]Introducing new cards[/h2]


The fifth set of additional cards from 'Far East Territory' will be 'Collector's Items' and 'Tally.

[h3]『Collector's Items』[/h3]
These are new cards from the second edition of 'Far East Territory.'
With a cost of 3 and the ability to generate 2 coins, they are effective in the early game.
Additionally, when banished, they can be treated as any cost from 1 to 5 and allow you to gain a card of equal cost to their own.
Exchanging them for powerful 4-5 cost cards or for 'Senator' later in the game is a good option, but the best synergy, without a doubt, is with 'Ohka's' ability.

[h3]『Tally』[/h3]
Although these cards existed in the original version, their effects have significantly changed.
Now, they are linked cards, and while it costs 1 coin to banish a card, you can now choose to banish from either your hand or discard pile. Additionally, when you banish a card, you get to draw 1, making them more versatile and easier to use.
Furthermore, the ability to banish 'Tally' from your hand and place it in the discard pile instead of the foreign area synergizes well with 'Adventurer' and 'Ohka's' abilities, allowing you to repeatedly gain powerful cards.

Greetings to all the influential figures of the empire!

[h2]The battle server will be fully open.[/h2]
Thank you for your patience.
Starting today, the battle server will be fully open!
As we approach the "Pre-Rank Match" scheduled to start simultaneously with the major update, let's continue to hone our skills.

[h2]Replaced the supply for both online matches.[/h2]


After the update, these will be the 10 supplies.
The next replacement is scheduled for September 3rd

※As announced yesterday, there will be no ROM update on August 30th.
