Greetings from the Onigiri Service Team.

Vanguard Swap Character Enhancement System will be implemented in the update on 2025/12/4 JST.

With the Vanguard Swap Character Enhancement System, powerful Vanguard Abilities will be added to the target characters through the Partner window.
The first characters to receive enhancements will be Miyamoto Musashi, Himiko and Murakami III.

[hr][/hr]
[h3]New Vanguard Abilities[/h3]
The Growth tab will be added to the Nakayoshi window, allowing not only the traditional Affection Level and Awakening Level increases, but also the unlocking of new Vanguard Abilities.



Vanguard Abilities are effects shown in the Partner Window, such as [During Vanguard Swap, Slash +30], which grant increased stats when using the character as your Partner Character.
The new Vanguard Abilities include effects such as the following.

■Drop Rate Up
While in Vanguard Swap, defeating enemies of specific Enemy Nature will increase item drop rates.
※Some items such as Lucky Boxes and certain dungeon clear rewards are not affected.

■Gauge Charge
When entering a dungeon while the character is accompanying you, a fixed amount of Vanguard Swap Gauge will be charged.
1% is charged per Affection Level.
Example: Affection Lv52 → Charges the Vanguard Swap Gauge by 52%.

■Enemy Nature Damage Multipliers
Damage dealt to enemies of specific Enemy Nature and other related effects can be increased.
Details are provided below.

[hr][/hr]
[h3]Visualization of Enemy Nature Multipliers[/h3]
Enemy Nature Multipliers refer to the values that determine compatibility against different Enemy Nature types, previously shown only with descriptions such as 【Strong against Monster (M)】 in the Partner window.
A table will be added to the Status tab to make these Enemy Nature Multipliers visible.



Three types of Enemy Nature Multipliers exist:

■Damage Bonus
Increases damage dealt to enemies of specific Enemy Nature.
If displayed as +30%, damage dealt increases by 30%.
※Do not increase Damage Cap

■Damage Reduction
Reduces damage received from enemies of specific Enemy Nature.
If displayed as +30%, damage received decreases by 30%.

■Gauge Increase Rate
Increases the amount of Vanguard Swap Gauge gained when hitting, or receiving damage from, enemies of specific Enemy Nature.
If displayed as +30%, the amount of gauge gained increases by 30%.

Unlocking Vanguard Abilities further increases these multipliers.
A star icon appears next to any enhanced values.

[hr][/hr]
[h3]How to Unlock Vanguard Abilities[/h3]
Each Vanguard Ability has its own unlock requirements, such as specific Affection Levels or Awakening Levels.
New material items introduced with this update are also required.



■Innate Elixir
Obtained once per day by completing the new daily achievement [Consume 100 Stamina].
Will also become obtainable through event exchanges and other methods in future updates.
※The [Consume 100 Stamina] achievement does not count toward daily complete achievements.
