Content Updates
Story Update
The 1.9.0 Update brings Chapter 11: Comrade in Arms -commilitoni nostro-!
If you catch up to the story before the chapter comes out, you’ll get 600 Star Diamonds, 50 Rainbow EXP Book +3, and 100 Idola Cores!
Destiny Bonus
In the 1.9.0 update, a new growth mechanic called “Destiny Bonus” is being added!
Destiny Bonus is a system where your characters’ stats get stronger when you have two versions of a character with Limit Breaks and different fate divergences.
When you have two versions of a character after they undergo Fate Divergence, They will get a “Destiny Bonus”. The level of the Destiny Bonus depends on the Limit Break levels that both characters have. The max level for a Destiny Bonus is +8.
- Pre 1.9.0 Max Stats for a Character
- Base Stats (Lv. 100 cap) + Limit Break (+4)
- Post 1.9.0 Max Stats for a Character
- Base Stats (Lv. 100 cap) + Limit Break (+4) + Destiny Bonus (+8)
※ (Example) The Stellas in the screenshots above have a Destiny Bonus of +8. This is because the player in this situation has a copy of her Law Fate Divergence at Limit Break +4 and a copy of her Chaos Fate Divergence at Limit Break +4.
※ The stats gained from Destiny Bonus won’t surpass the ones from Limit Break.
※ Some characters, like collab characters and Uly won’t receive Destiny Bonus. They will receive buffs in future game rebalances.
