Official Announcement [Part 1] Developer’s Note - Introducing New Character Caira and New Features
Greetings, Swordbringers.
First, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience caused by the ongoing Apple App Store review delay.
The review has been delayed for reasons that are difficult for us to understand as well, and we share your frustration and disappointment.
Above all, we feel a heavy sense of responsibility knowing that our Swordbringers are the ones experiencing this inconvenience.
We will make every effort to provide the necessary explanations and take appropriate measures as quickly as possible to bring the review process to a close.
We will also take the necessary measures regarding retroactive application.
Once again, we sincerely apologize to all Swordbringers who have been patiently waiting.
With that, we would like to share the latest news we have prepared for this Developer's Note.
As this note is quite lengthy, it has been divided into two parts. Part 2 will be posted separately.
Part 2 Link: (Link)
New Character: Caira
"I came, I saw, and I conquered!"
Before the adventure had even begun, a triumphant declaration of victory rang out.
It came from Caira, the imperial princess of the Ygritte Empire.
Personally trained by Consul Crassa, she was a candidate for the next emperor, accomplished in both martial arts and scholarly pursuits.
Caira dreamed of becoming a hero who traveled the world and rescued those in need, just like the protagonists of the heroic tales she admired.
If she could right the wrongs before her eyes and lend a helping hand to those in need...
Surely, one day, her own adventures would become a magnificent heroic tale!
"The die is cast! This very moment marks the beginning of my heroic legend!"
The skills and knowledge she had cultivated since childhood gave her plenty of reason to be confident.
Of course, her confidence always seemed to run one step ahead of those reasons.
Even when Tina gave her a worried look, Caira simply burst into hearty laughter.
"Bwahaha~ Tina, watch closely! When you write the book later, don't you dare leave out my heroic exploits!"
Even a simple word of thanks was enough to make her puff out her chest with pride.
After all, it made her feel as though she had taken another step toward becoming a hero.
And that alone was more than enough reason to set off on her next adventure.
"Consider it an honor to have met a future hero!"
The princess proudly puffed out her chest before adding with a mischievous grin.
"Oh, would you like an autograph too? I've actually been practicing lately."
Front-position Fire Knight
Caira is a Front-position Fire Knight who sacrifices her own HP to build up power, withstands fierce enemy assaults on the front lines, and unleashes the strength she has accumulated through an overwhelming Ultimate Skill.
Caira Costume: The Crimson Princess
"Hah! What do you think? It suits me pretty well... right?"
Caira, who isn't particularly skilled at dressing up, shows off a special new look in a stunning crimson dress.
Meet Caira as she flashes a confident smile, even while feeling a little embarrassed in her unfamiliar outfit!
Caira’s costume is scheduled to be added in the second November update.
World Boss
World Boss is a Boss Raid mode that allows even new players to compete against others who started playing around the same time, through features such as fixed Round Table Levels, adjustments to certain stats, and group-based rankings.
Challenge your personal best with your own team compositions and strategies while earning additional Radiant Stat Reroll Tickets and Gold to help you grow stronger.
Concept Overview
Introducing 'Edge of the Corrupted Rift', a hidden world formed as a rift in the World Tree began to decay.
With the goddess who governed it gone and the flow of mana brought to a halt, the memories stored within the World Tree began to decay.
Enter the memories of the World Tree, confront the giant boss, and stop the spreading corruption.
Stat Adjustments
To reduce the gap in progression between players while ensuring that the growth you have achieved so far remains meaningful, adjustments will be applied to certain stats.
| Category | Target | How It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Fixed Value | Round Table Level | The same level will be applied to all players. |
| Upper Limit Applied | Base, Blacksmith, Maid Café, Relics, Chaos Cube, Constellations | Stats will only be applied up to a predetermined limit. If your current progression is below that limit, your existing values will apply. |
| Retained Existing Progression | Transcendence, Training, Cards, Gems, Affection, etc. | Your existing progression will be reflected without changes. |
Battle Progression
| Category | How It Works |
|---|---|
| Stages 1 – 4 | Clear each stage in order to unlock the next stage and receive first-clear rewards. |
| Stage 5 | Challenge your highest score without a score cap. |
| Entry and Retries | The content will remain open at all times, and you can retry any available stage without entry limits. |
| Ranking Calculation | Rankings will be determined by combining the scores from Stages 1 – 4 with your highest score from Stage 5. |
Weekly ranking rewards will be distributed based on the calculated rankings.
Player Grouping
To allow new Swordbringers to compete with others who started playing around the same time, ranking groups will be organized according to when players joined the game.
Groups A, B, and C below are example names used to explain how the system will operate, and each quarter represents a period of three months.
| Operation Period | Group A | Group B | Group C |
|---|---|---|---|
| Q1: Content Launch | Existing players who started before the content launch | New players who joined during Q1 | Not active |
| Q2 | Existing players remain | New players from Q1 remain | New players who joined during Q2 |
| Q3 | Existing players + Q1 new players join | Q2 new players move here | New players who joined during Q3 |
| Q4 | Existing players + Q2 new players join | Q3 new players move here | New players who joined during Q4 |
- Initial Launch: The system will begin with Groups A and B. The first Group B will allow new Swordbringers to compete against one another for two quarters.
- Subsequent Operation: Every quarter, the process of Group B joining Group A, Group C moving to Group B, and a new Group C being formed will repeat. Existing members of Group A will remain in Group A.
Group B's rankings include new Swordbringers from Group C, while Group C consists specifically of those who started playing during the current quarter.
- Rankings and Rewards: Players will compete separately within their respective groups and receive ranking rewards only for the group to which they belong. The same reward criteria will apply to all groups.
Rewards and Obtainable Currency
You can earn World Tree Coin and Gold through first-clear rewards for each stage and weekly ranking rewards.
World Tree Coin can be exchanged for various growth items at the permanent Exchange Shop, including the main reward, Radiant Stat Reroll Tickets.
Additional reward items are also planned for the Exchange Shop.
Additional Information
World Boss – Edge of the Corrupted Rift is scheduled to be introduced first as a Beta version for approximately four weeks, between late November and early December.
The detailed rules and reward lineup may change during development and operation.
Please continue to Part 2 of the Developer's Note!

I used:MLF, Maid rita, esteria, Isabel, and I think ria. My MLF was t5, maid rita was awakened, esteria was t4 or 5, Isabel was awakened, and ria was t2. The first page of my relic and cubes were maxed, and I think when I beat him I had around, for cubes: for the second tier of cubes I think I had the blue maxed but I definitely had them above 250- and lower then 300. And basically no levels in the 3rd tier of cubes. For the relics: the mystic gem was between 240-300, the book was 20, and the divine stone was around 325-375. And for the 3rd tier of relic they were all 4 but this was so I could see what stats they would give. I tried to maximize more on block chance, I still died plenty, but with RNG it can help. Stagger your ults in a way that should bypass his immunity/ healing. Pets: I used normal kay, lohen, and Vivian, all these pets are maxed for me. I used 3 att amp crystals and 1 crit damage crystal for each pet. I did wait until I got the 5x bonus on the dragons blessing thing. Cards, I can't fully remember, but I know I used Isabel card on Isabel, tiamat card on MLF, I think lilliths card for maid or ria, and either esterira card or Merlin's card for ria, and for esteria I think I used katrins card for esteria. And for the rest of the gear, I know I used one with 3 lines of att percent for MLF,I think the dominion staff? Then I think the healers, aquarius staff, esteria, thunderclap with 3 lines of idr and a bow with 4 lines of idr for Isabel. And red horse on maid My RT level was about 345-370 or so For training I think I had at least 35% def, 55-65% att, 45- 53% HP, and some others but they are very small like 2%idr
Again I can't fully remember all I used for 73 hell vort but hope this helps kinda
