Improvements and Balances

System Improvement

※ The batch sortie function only works on completed quests
※ The automatic rematch function will be removed with the implementation of the batch sortie function

 

Added “Mock Battles” to Brigade Battle

“Mock Battle” allows you to fight the defense teams of your own Brigade including your own defense team. As with normal Brigade Battle, you can fight 2 times per Mock Battle. You can reset the Mock Battle as many as you want.

 

Balances

Collection Quest Changes

In version 2.7.0. droprates for Collection Quests were increased and stamina costs were lowered to lower the amount of runs required to finish them. With the newly added Batch Quest Sortie function the stamina cost reduction will be reverted as it should be easier to finish the event.
