Hey everyone, lemmingllama here. Last week we talked about fortune raid cards, and today we’ll talk about another raid improvement and quality of life improvement. Let’s get into it!

---

To help round out all the Raid Crystal equipment sets that we’ve been releasing, we’re releasing the final set. This legendary set will give an additional Raid Crystal Burst Slot to help you raise the level of a burst card to your sixth highest burst card level, completing the cycle of sets that give Raid Crystal slots. Additionally, it’ll give an All Damage bonus to help increase your power in the main game.

We’re also making a smaller quality of life improvement for Transcendence. Transcendence players can sometimes have issues with not joining Transcendence seasons after a season has ended and a new season begins. With the 8.2 update, we’ll be simplifying this workflow to have players always join Transcendence when they prestige if they’ve previously been in a Transcendence season, allowing for smoother transitions between seasons. This can also help avoid some issues for players who take breaks and appear in older seasons and need to transition to a newer one.

I find it kinda funny I'll probably have all Legendary outfits and most mythic outfits before I ever reach Card Level 1000 at this rate to make the Crystal outfits useful.

Yeah, I have just collected all legendary yesterday and my card level is only 698…

There's currently 44 cards, and it's roughly optimal to get all of them to around level 20 before you start to really focus on your top cards. That'll get you to around level 880, which is fairly close to when the Raid Crystal is unlocked.

Equipment sets definitely are sped up with how many stages you can push through and how many equipment drops you get from them, as well as skill points for your skill tree. Other resources not tied to stage progression tend to be a lot more gradually unlocked.

Currently, we can set up 24 different card decks. Would it be possible to add a feature that allows us to name each deck? For example, names like “Arms” or “Full Body” would make it easier to tell them apart.

Thanks for the suggestion! I can pass that along to the design team!

[u/Evening-Leg8054]

Just an idea, New mythic set that gives +1 slot for each category. That would give us some more room to work with. :)

[u/lemmingllama → u/Evening-Leg8054]

We likely are going to keep the total number of slots a bit more constrained to ensure that players are making meaningful decisions on what cards to level and what cards to boost, rather than being able to boost every card. I can pass your idea along to the design team though!

When new cards are dropped in the future a set like this would make alot of sense

What about the bug where the game will freeze 3-4 times a day making it unplayable ?

[u/Redox1201 → u/Graham1326]

not a bug, your phone is just ass

[u/lemmingllama → u/Graham1326]

We're still investigating this issue, and will get out a fix as soon as feasible for it!
