[New Skin Set: Royal Knights]
At some point, faint roars began to be heard deep in the forest, scaring children into stopping their crying and traders no longer daring to cross the dark woods. The elderly who had experienced the dragon slaying wars of the past recognized that terrifying sound - it was a dragon!
The appearance of the dragon disrupted people's peaceful lives, filling the city with cries and whispers... Even the Royal Knights lost the blades capable of slaying the dragon and forgot the techniques to kill the evil dragon due to the passage of time.
As the king fell into despair, the dragon slayer, who had only appeared in paintings and sculptures for a hundred years, returned to the royal city once more, wearing a cloak and holding a heavy blade.
The fateful confrontation between the evil dragon and the knight will unfold again.
[Macalon's New Legendary Skin: Roaring Dragon]
At first, it was the trading caravan traveling through the forest that heard the roaring. Unlike any known beast, the sound was filled with strength and anger... and evil. Later, a night hunter hiding in the woods caught a glimpse of a chilling green light. Finally, the oldest elder in the city broke the silence: there is an evil dragon in the forest!
From then on, the legend of the evil dragon devouring everything in the forest spread throughout the castle, and people were looking forward to the appearance of the savior. However, it is said that a very small number of legendary creature enthusiasts also came to witness the evil dragon.
[More Skins Return to Party Stage]

- Starwaves extra colorful sticker compensation: This version adjusts the Aura Chest supplement, for players who can receive more colorful stickers than unlocked colorful stickers when collecting all Aura Chests, we will provide an additional random colorful treasure chest for every 10 Aura Chests overflowed (up to 4), this compensation will be sent to the mail, please claim within the validity period

[Battle Adjustments]
Terminological examples:
A: Attack
B: Skill (Star key)
N-Series Attack: An attack performed without inputting any direction
Forward throw/backward throw: Forward or backward grabs and throws
Invincibility: Can be attacked but will not suffer damage or negative effects
Hit stun: Uncontrollable, unable to perform other actions
[Global Adjustments]
- Added three types of regular Stickers:
Rebirth - Yellow - Self-healing deals 4% of Knock-out Score (KO Score) damage (Lv5 attribute)
Smash - Yellow - When hitting an enemy's shield, the enemy's pushback increases by 6% (Lv5 attribute)
Solid Rock - Yellow - When the shield is attacked, the self-pushback decreases by 6% (Lv5 attribute)
- Added Jablock mechanism: When a character falls to the ground during a hit action, they will bounce slightly, and if a specific attack hits during the bounce, the character will be unable to get up for a short time and trigger the bounce again, which can be triggered up to two consecutive times
- Added Edge Fall mechanism: When a character is in Shield state and is attacked, touching the edge of the platform due to Shield Pushback will cancel the Shield state and cause the character to briefly lose balance and fall outside the platform
- Added Pushback Influence mechanism: When a character is in Shield state and is attacked, the Shield Pushback distance can be slightly influenced by pulling the left joystick
[Sophia]
Objective:
Reduce the performance of some of Sophia's aerial moves and add some weaknesses to Sophia
Adjustments:
"Down aerial": Increases the ending lag time of the move and the corresponding time interval that triggers the landing hit stun
Weight: Slightly reduced weight
[Tina]
Fix:
Fixed the issue where a wall jump could only be performed after an aerial jump.
[Macalon]
Objective:
Improve the usability of moves
Adjustments:
"Aerial attack": Reduce the size of the character's hitbox while performing an aerial attack and slightly expand the hit range.
[Tarara]
Fix:
Charged Attack: Fixed the issue where after the upgrade, the Charged Attack-summoned Pururu could not keep the charged action.
[S-17]
Fix:
"Tri-Force": During the release of Super-neutral B, when S-17 is pushed, the attack hitbox area will move with S-17, preventing accidental hits on targets behind; the final segment of Super-neutral B attack will not have extended judgment due to hit lag.
[Sandy]
Fix:
Colorful sticker "Swallow Kick": After hitting with Horizontal B, the canceled Down B will be fixed to be the same as the regular Down B, requiring at least the first segment to be played before the jump can be canceled.
[Mr.5]
Fix:
Dash grab and throw: Fixed the issue where the dash grab fails to throw a paralyzed opponent.
[Seaya]
Objective:
Balance move performance
Adjustments:
Ground down attack: Reduced the duration of the sour spot (water splash) hitbox, slightly decreased damage, and reduced the additional hit stun time; slightly increased the damage of the sweet spot.
Fix:
Showtime: Fixed the issue where, in certain circumstances, Showtime would release the neutral special even if the charge gauge was full.
[Derek]
Objective:
Improve move performance and increase character potential
Adjustments:
All gun-based attacks: Slightly increased the hitbox of the muzzle part, and increased the damage and knock-out caused by that part.
Fix:
Jump-cancel aerial attack: The ending lag of the aerial attack, released by jump-canceling, is adjusted to be the same as the regular aerial attack.
Fix the issue where the shield is released immediately after being hit, resulting in a longer shield hit stun.
[Other Bug Fixes]
Fixed the issue of Tarara-Just For You skin losing sound effects when using Swing Mastery stickers
Fixed the issue of S-17 Deep Sea Weapon skin playing incorrect sound in the skin interface
Fixed the issue of Tarara-Muse skin's main interface animation playing abnormally
Fixed the issue of Lan-Night Watcher skin not displaying in the selected character box during Team Relay
