Major Update: Hero Series Vol.3, Etching Upgrades & Fixes

Hero Series Vol.3 is here. We have also rebuilt Etching based on your Suggestions posts, and fixed the bugs you reported.

────────────────────────────── ◆ Hero Series Vol.3 ──────────────────────────────

This time the heroes come in pairs. The pair you choose at the start joins you together at the end.

- Eden (Dark) + Feni (Fire) - Carbuncle (Light) + Tita (Earth)

In Vol.3 you start with no one. Each of the 6 difficulties you clear earns a Sigil, and when all 6 are collected, both heroes of your pair join you. Standing in your way are heroes who have fallen to darkness. On the final difficulty, both appear at once (click a boss to choose which one to attack).

- Normal: the Arcana versions of the pair join you - Death: the Century versions of the pair join you

On each difficulty you can draw one random egg per day, with Hero Eggs mixed in. Raise a hero recruited in Death mode to Awakening 6 and it receives a one-of-a-kind "Hero No." in the world. Vol.3 opens once you have cleared Torment.

────────────────────────────── ◆ New DLC: "TASMON: Hero Pack 2" ──────────────────────────────

- Recruit the pair you did not choose as well - Change your heroes' look (Fallen / Awakened) - One extra random egg draw per day - Crystal of Turning x10 - Auto expeditions (finds go to the expedition pocket) - Expeditions take 30% less time

Vol.3 can be played from start to finish without the pack.

────────────────────────────── ◆ Etching upgrades ──────────────────────────────

- Choose how many to roll at once: 10 / 30 / 50 / 100 - Results show the best value of every effect that appeared, next to your current line, so you can compare - Target rolling: pick the effect you want and when to stop, and it stops automatically on a hit - See which effects can appear in a slot, and their maximum values, right on the screen - Big spends ask for a second click to confirm - Bulk rolls and target rolling unlock after clearing Hell

────────────────────────────── ◆ One week to turn heroes into Hearts ──────────────────────────────

Some of you told us you used a Heart on a hero by mistake and could not undo it. For 1 week from this update, heroes can also be turned into Hearts The deadline is shown on the hero's status screen.

────────────────────────────── ◆ Other improvements and fixes ──────────────────────────────

- Improved frame rate when many windows are open - Monsters hatched from expedition eggs now get Bestiary bonuses too - Fixed Evolution Stone crafting losing stones when the target stone was used as material - Fixed Sphere Board swipes stopping partway - Fixed a re-cast Suggestions vote sometimes reverting to the old vote - Fixed unique passive descriptions that did not match the actual effect in some languages - Chinese: revised character names, skill names and terms, and unified the font
