Realm of Awakened Phantasies

This update brings an intense battle against Malignant Dark Falz Vael in June, the introduction of 13-star rarity weapons, and a new story. In July, a new field called the Alter Realm and battles with new enemies await. In August, we'll have updates for the Waker class and the Super Phantasy Festival.

The Realm of Awakened Phantasies also contains other updates that they couldn't fit in the trailer.

Mini Episode

The new Mini Episode features a story that conveys the ARKS' feelings after their battle with Dark Falz Vael. Up to now, most Mini Episodes have progressed through event scenes alone. This time, they've prepared episodes where the story progresses by completing Tasks related to the narrative, allowing you to connect more deeply with the story. They plan to release future Mini Episodes in this format.

Shadow of the Fallen Star

This EQ involves the protagonist deploying in response to an unknown enemy that has appeared in Halpha. This is a story where you can enjoy resolving a new crisis that has emerged after the battle of Dark Falz Vael. To allow players to get a preview of the new field and enemies set to be released in July, they decided to release it as an Emergency Quest accompanies by a story.

Cres Series Weapons

The Cres is the first 13 star weapons that surpass the performance of the 12 star Akroselio series and the Legend.1 weapons from the Legendios series. As a new rarity, these weapons not only boast top-class attack performance, but also feature a unique effect that increases power and reduces PP consumption when attacking enemies. You can try to get these weapons by defeating Malignant Dark Falz Vael which you can take on at any time.

The roadmap for the 2nd half of 2025 will be revealed in the next Headline Wave.

The effect that visualizes the counter window for Braver's Fearless Attitude feels like it's harder to see now. Can you fix this?

They received many comments that Fearless Attitude's visual effect has become harder to see. They will readjust it to have the previous barrier-type visual.

The new effect will retain its quality of partially applying the weapon's photon color while also being more visible overall. Issues related to poor visibility based on photon color and the ending of the counter window being unclear will also be fixed.

The visual effect changes will be implemented on the update on June 4th.

After defeating Captan, there's a long pause before you receive drops.

They will make the drop items after defeating Captan arrive faster.

Can you make it so that the Gunner's Chain Boost doesn't expire when boarding M.A.R.S.

They are working on adjusting Chain Boost so that the effect reapplies after disengaging special armaments such as M.A.R.S. if it was active before the armament was boarded. Chain Boosts remaining time will also not decrease while the special armament is active.

Deliberating on this request took a considerable amount of time. They apologize for keeping you waiting.

This change plans to be implemented in the August update.
