Character System
Character System and UI rework
“It has been too long since we’ve made any changes to our Character System. This patch, we made some big changes to our Character System so it is a lot more user friendly.

Next, we are removing all the costs for leveling up a Character. Once you have enough fragments, you will be able to level up instantly in the Character menu! We are also lowering the max level for Characters from 8 to 6 to ensure every time you level up your Character, the Character skill levels up as well. Lastly, Awakening Character Skills will now include the skill of the original Character so now you Characters can be truly awakened.”
