[h2]The First Ranked Match Event is Here!![/h2]

Thank you for your patience! We are excited to announce the start of the First Ranked Match.
Each Ranked Match season will have a seasonal motif, and new items such as 'Player Titles,' 'Frames,' and 'Ornaments' related to that motif will be added to the store.
The motif for the First Ranked Match season is 'Imperial Capital.'

Additionally, based on the results of the 'Pre-Ranked Match' and feedback from players, we have made the following adjustments.

• We have revised the points required for rank promotion.
  
• The rank at which point increases and decreases occur has been lowered from 'Duke' to 'Count Palatine.'
  
• Adjustments have been made to the amount of rank points earned (in general, the higher the rank, the fewer points you will be able to earn).
  

*In the First Ranked Match, all users will start from the 'Servant' rank. From the Second Ranked Match onwards, the starting 'Rank' will be adjusted based on the previous match's performance.

[h2]Implemented Features in Conjunction with the Ranked Match Event[/h2]
In conjunction with the First Ranked Match event, the following features have been implemented.
[h3]Player Title, Frame, Ornament[/h3]
You will now be able to select and edit your 'Player Title,' 'Frame,' and 'Ornament' from 'MyPage.'
The various selection UIs can be scrolled by dragging with the mouse.
Please note that the selection UI is a temporary implementation and will be adjusted at a later date.
*Since the store has not yet been implemented, the items available for selection at the time of the update are limited to those you already have by default and those given as participation rewards for the Pre-Ranked Match.

[h3]PlayerLv[/h3]
Regardless of whether you play PvP or CPU matches, you will be able to earn experience points, which will increase your 'Player Level.'
The amount of experience points earned will vary depending on your actions during the match.
Additionally, you will be able to earn rewards each time your 'Player Level' reaches a certain threshold.

[h3]Fame Points（FP）[/h3]
This in-game currency accumulates as you play, regardless of whether it's PvP or CPU matches, and it can be used in the store to purchase Player Titles and in-game items.
There is a weekly earning limit, and after exceeding the limit, only a small amount of points can be earned.
*The store will be implemented at a later date.

[h3]Daily Quest[/h3]
Two types of quests will be implemented.

• Play one match in either 'Ranked Match' or 'Room Match.'
  
• Win in the daily supply of 'CPU Battle' (regardless of CPU level).
  

Completing either one will fulfill the 'Daily Quest' for that day, and you will earn more Fame Points than through regular gameplay.
*Daily Quests reset every day at 5:00 AM (JST).

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


In Ranked Matches, these eight supplies will have an increased appearance rate.
The next rotation is scheduled for October 25th.

Greetings to all the influential figures of the empire!

Starting from 10:00 AM (JST) on October 19th, we will be updating the supply and ROM.
*Please note that this update will be on Saturday, not Friday.

[h2]Regarding the Adjustment to Ohka's Ability[/h2]
After extensive discussions with FLIPFLOPs, the following adjustments will be made in the update on the 19th.

• Gain -4 succession points when nominated.
  

This adjustment aims to 'maintain the current feel of playing with Ohka,' while also staying true to her setting as the 'Princess from a Remote Region.'

Starting on the 19th, Ohka's ability will be changed to the one mentioned above, but this is not the final decision.
We will continue to monitor the results of the 'First Ranked Match' and make further adjustments as necessary.

[h2]First Ranked Match Event!![/h2]
The 'First Ranked Match' will also be held with the update on the 19th.
This event is scheduled to last for two months.
Details regarding changes from the 'Pre-Ranked Match' will be provided in the Steam News after the update is complete.

The following content, which was announced last week, is also scheduled to be implemented gradually.

• PlayerLv
  
• Fame Points（FP）
  
• Daily Quest
  
• Store
  
• Card View
  

[h2]Introducing new cards[/h2]

The ninth additional cards for 'Far East Territory' are 'Demon Warrior' and 'Greedy Fairy'

[h3]『Demon Warrior』[/h3]
These are reprinted cards from Fairy Garden, but their effects have been significantly changed.
They are powerful on their own, but when combined with cards like 'Cavalry,' they become even more devastating.

[h3]『Greedy Fairy』[/h3]
