Dear Captains,

We'd like to thank all of the Captains who have been enjoying Gran Saga Idle KNIGHTS X KNIGHTS!

We would like to share with all Captains the updates scheduled for October 3 as follows.

1. New Pickup Hero: Ivan

The new character 'Ivan' is designed as a powerful Dark attribute dealer, filling the previously lacking role of a Dark dealer.

[Raid Specialist Dealer]

Ivan is a character that relies on cooldown reduction options to trigger consecutive skill activations and repeated cooldown reduction effects, stacking his attack power and delivering explosive damage. He will show particularly high efficiency in Challenge Content and Long-term Raids.

[Shield Provider in Short-Term Battles]

Ivan possesses a shield that can block any attack up to three times, making him capable of nullifying enemy attacks in short-term battles like the Arena. This allows him to engage in stable offensive and defensive exchanges, fulfilling a joker role by creating unexpected variables in duels.

[Legendary] Ivan

Element	Dark	Battle Type	Melee
Active Skill	[Dimension Blow] Deals damage equal to 600% of final attack power to enemies within range and grants the [Berserk] effect, which immediately deals damage to yourself equal to 5% of max HP and increases your final attack power by 25% for 9 seconds. Additionally, it grants a reduction of [skill cooldown by 3 to 12 seconds].
Passive Skill 1	[Fury Rush] At the start of battle, increases final attack power by 30% for 30 seconds. This effect decreases by 10% every 10 seconds and cannot be removed.
Passive Skill 2	[Berserker Charge] At the start of battle, nullifies damage up to 3 times for 3 seconds.

*Skill details are subject to change.

[Legendary] Dark Knight Leon 

Element	Dark	Battle Type	Defender
Active Skill	[Shine Shout Grants the [Haste] effect to allies for 4 seconds and additionally grants the [Immortality] effect to yourself for 6 seconds, preventing incapacitation even if your HP reaches 0.]
Passive Skill	[Shine Break] On the 3rd normal attack, there is a 50% chance to grant yourself the [Lifesteal] effect for 3 seconds, recovering 20% of the damage dealt to enemies. Additionally, it stuns the [enemy] for 1 second.

*Skill details are subject to change.

[Legendary] Christina

Element	Water	Battle Type	Supporter
Active Skill	[Water Heal] Removes 2 negative effects from allies within range and restores 150% of final attack power to the affected allies every second for 4 seconds.
