Hello, this is PD Xenon.

Half a year has already passed since the launch of the game.

Spending 26 out of 52 weeks writing developer notes each week has been a deeply meaningful experience.

Today we’ll explain our intentions and immediate improvements based on the following key topics:

1. New Content Update (Mid-December)

ⓐ Tower of Ordeals

2. Game Improvement Directions

ⓐ Hero Rebalancing

ⓑ Currency Supply

ⓒ Sanctuary of the Warrior

ⓓ Hero Growth Direction

3. Early Preview of the Half-Anniversary Hero, Ismael

1. New Content Update

[Tower of Ordeals]

As previously mentioned, the "The Lord of Shadow" has been introduced into the storyline alongside Ismael.

More details about the conflict between Ismael and the Shadow Lord will be revealed in future story updates, so please stay tuned.

With The Lord of Shadow's arrival,The Tower of Ordeals has been added to Gran Saga Idle: KNIGHTS X KNIGHTS. 

This feature will allow you to face shadow heroes and further develop your team.

[Key Features of The Tower of Ordeals]

ⓐ Elemental-Specific Towers: Each tower is divided by element and operates on a seasonal basis, with a cycle of approximately one month.

All rewards reset at the start of each season, allowing captains to claim fresh rewards based on their progress.

ⓑ Rewards: Significant amount of key resources like Diamonds, Breakthrough stones, Potential, and pet materials will be provided.

ⓒ Elemental Hero Chest: Captains can acquire both Random and Rate-up Hero Chest for each elemental from all towers. 

This offers a strategic opportunity to enhance desired heroes each month.

ⓓ Shadow Heroes: Each tower will feature shadow heroes that mimic existing Heroes' skills, providing a unique challenge. 

Overcoming these trials will require fresh combinations and setups.

We are also planning to introduce advanced Tower of Ordeals content in future updates, 

giving high-level captains more challenges and opportunities to utilize their heroes effectively.

2. Game Improvement Directions

We’re committed to delivering a richer experience through wide-ranging improvements across Heroes, Currencies, and Content.

[Hero Rebalancing]

On December 19, we’ll rebalance existing Heroes to emphasize strategic synergy in team compositions. 

This update aims to inspire captains to explore new builds and combinations across various content, including the Tower of Ordeals

[Diamond Supply System improvement]

With new growth content and challenges being continuously added, we’re working on improving diamond supply systems:

ⓐ Idle Rewards & Tower of Ordeals Rewards 

Recent updates significantly increased idle rewards, and the December Tower of Ordeals update will make approximately 200,000 diamonds available.

ⓑ Regular Diamond Supply Expansion:

We plan to provide a consistent supply of diamonds at a scale that captains will noticeably benefit from.

[Sanctuary of the Warrior]

Since many captains have completed their farming for elemental legendary equipment, 

We're preparing the following changes and more details will be shared once it’s decided.

- Greatly Increased Equipment Drop Rates

- New Fragment-Based Crafting System

- Advanced Equipment Crafting System: Utilizing Existing Elemental Equipment + Materials like Fragment Stones.

- Significantly Reduced Play Time

[Hero Build System Review]

We’re exploring a system to enhance the value of Hero’s exceeded shards, enabling captains to create personalized Hero Builds. 

This system will encourage Captains to distinguish their team builds and enjoy more strategic gameplay. 

More details will be shared as plans take shape.

To commemorate the half-anniversary, Ismael, a powerful antagonist from the story, will finally join your team.

Ismael has been a central figure in Gran Saga Idle: KNIGHTS X KNIGHTS since the early stages of the story. 

For this half-anniversary, we’ve devoted significant effort to making Ismael an exceptional hero.

While staying true to the concept of a dragon, we went through numerous iterations to refine Ismael's design.

Elements like dragon scales, ears, and a mane were thoughtfully incorporated into her appearance, resulting in a captivating and one-of-a-kind design.

We hope all captains will fall in love with our uniquely crafted hero, Ismael!

We are currently putting the final touches on skill effects and are also preparing a special costume to be unveiled in December.

Ismael is designed as a hero with powerful skills unique to the dragon race, making her a formidable asset across various content. 

We believe she will shine as a versatile and impactful addition to your team.

We look forward to seeing the strategic gameplay you’ll create with your new Hero, Ismael, and we hope you’ll like her. 

To celebrate the half-anniversary, we’ve prepared a variety of events to enhance your in-game progression. 

Starting today, the Daily Diamond Event will allow you to earn up to 100,000 diamonds! (Sent directly to your mailbox)
