Hello Captains, this is Natara!
This is an advance notice regarding a new content, the long-awaited "Awakening" update!
# What is Awakening?
Awakening is a new system that allows you to further promote fully-promoted hunters.
Awakened hunters can go beyond their limits and gain further strength, becoming far more powerful in various areas.
# How do You Awaken?
Conditions for Awakening
In order to awaken your hunters, you must advance your hunters to ★5 and increase their level to 30.
Items Needed for Awakening
For awakening, you'll need 3 new Awakening Items, 300 Metron Fragments, and 30000 Rupees. You'll be able to check out the new awakening items with the new update.
# What is the Benefit of Awakening?
Appearance Change
Hunters' appearance will be upgraded.
Strengthened Base Stats
Hunters' base stats will increase greatly upon awakening.
Additional Level Up
Awakening will set the hunter level to 1. You can level up the hunter to 30 again.
Strengthened Skills
Skills will be changed to awakening skills, which will become even stronger along with the addition of new effects.
Awakened Transcendence
After awakening, 3 levels of Awakened Transcendence will be added.
# What is Awakened Transcendence?
Awakened Transcendence is an additional transcendence that can be made by the awakened hunters who have completed all 3 existing transcendence.
Awakened Transcendence can be done 3 times and each transcendence requires 1 of the same hunter, Awakening Items, and Metron Crystals.
# Do I need to Know Anything Else?
- Skill level, equipment, and jewels will be maintained even after awakening.
- Hunters before and after awakening will be treated as the same hunter. Therefore, bonuses that were being applied will stay the same.
Also, in contents such as Guild Blitz where only one same hunter can appear, an unawakened hunter and an awakened hunter cannot appear at the same time.
# When is the Awakening Content Coming?
Awakening is planned to be updated in October. Please wait just a little longer for the update!
# Which Hunters Can I Awaken?
The first hunters to be awakened will be Captain, Vincent, and Lapis.
The second hunters to be updated will be Rebecca and Sienna, and the third is planned to be Balian and Gerard.
