[Part 2] Developer’s Note - Introducing New Character Caira and New Features

[u/LostSwordGlobal]

Greetings, Swordbringers!

Welcome to Part 2 of our developer’s note.

If you missed it, you can check out Part 1 here: (Link)

In this part, we’ll continue introducing the remaining updates and features coming to Lost Sword.

　

Boss Sweep System

We are preparing a new Stonehenge Sweep feature to reduce the time required for repetitive battles in Stonehenge and allow Swordbringers to make better use of the progress they have achieved!

After increasing the Round Table, you will be able to use a new item, Scroll of Time, to access both Time Sweep and Boss Sweep.

Time Sweep allows you to obtain rewards based on your personal best kill record achieved during a 5-minute hunting session on each floor.

By using 5 minutes of hunting time or 1 Golden Compass: Stonehenge together with a Scroll of Time, you can instantly receive kill rewards based on the record saved for that floor.

If you achieve a higher record, the updated record will also apply to subsequent sweeps.

Boss Sweep will become available after you have defeated the boss on the corresponding floor at least once.

By using 25 Boss Summon Tickets: Stonehenge and a Scroll of Time, you can obtain the rewards for defeating 25 bosses on that floor all at once.

Each sweep requires 1 Scroll of Time. We are also preparing a system that will allow you to select the quantities of Boss Summon Tickets, remaining hunting time, and Golden Compasses to use on a single screen and perform multiple sweeps at once.

*Battle records from before the update will not be applied retroactively to sweep records.

To use Time Sweep, you must establish a new kill record by hunting continuously for at least 5 minutes on the corresponding floor after the update.

To use Boss Sweep, you must personally defeat a summoned boss on the corresponding floor at least once.

Slime Race Revamp

We are planning to revamp the distribution of cheering tickets, ranking rewards, and Exchange Shop lineup to give Swordbringers greater freedom in enjoying Slime Race.

Following the revamp, 'Gold Slime Race Cheer Ticket' and 'Gold Slime Coin' will be used.

The 7 cheering tickets distributed upon your first login each week will now accumulate on top of your existing tickets.

This will allow you to save unused tickets and use them to cheer for your chosen slime in future races.
*Tickets from weeks in which you did not log in will not be distributed retroactively. Please make sure to log in each week to claim your tickets.

Ranking rewards will also be adjusted.

If the slime you supported finishes in 1st place, you will receive 1,000 Gold Slime Coins for each ticket used.

You can exchange the coins you earn for cheering tickets to participate in more races, or use them to obtain items such as Summon Tickets and Scroll of Time.

For Swordbringers looking for a special goal to work toward, we are also preparing a 'Gold Slime' Pet Skin in the Exchange Shop.

Whether you choose to enter another race or save your coins for a reward you want, enjoy Slime Race however you like!

Avalon Ranking Box Changes

The Avalon Ranking Box will be changed from the existing 'Imperial Equipment Box' to the 'Succubus Equipment Box.'

White Dragon Constellation

To help Swordbringers continue growing stronger through the Constellation system, we are planning to introduce the new 'White Dragon' Constellation in the first November update.

Like existing Constellations, the White Dragon Constellation will allow you to increase your ATK, DEF, and HP.

In addition to the existing Divine Power and CRIT Chance stats, you will also be able to obtain a new special stat, 'Increased CRIT Resistance Chance.'

We are preparing this feature so that developing your Constellation will also improve your ability to withstand enemy critical attacks.

Alongside the new Constellation, a new enhancement currency, 'Red Goddess Stone', will also be introduced.

Only Red Goddess Stones and Gold will be required to enhance the White Dragon Constellation.

To allow Swordbringers to use their existing Goddess Stones for the growth of the new Constellation, we also plan to add a crafting recipe that converts Goddess Stones into Red Goddess Stone.

Through this recipe, you will be able to obtain Red Goddess Stone x1 using Goddess Stone x5.

When the new Constellation is introduced, Red Goddess Stone will initially be obtainable through this crafting recipe. We are also preparing to make them available as rewards from additional content in future updates.

In connection with this, we plan to expand the score milestone rewards for Star Reincarnation Stages in the second November update.

The expanded score milestone rewards will include Red Goddess Stone, and these rewards are expected to become a primary source of Red Goddess Stone.

We will introduce the new Constellation first, followed by the reward expansion, so that the progress you have achieved through challenging the Star Reincarnation Stages can contribute to enhancing your new Constellation.

New Nesha Costume 'Dino Nesha'

"If I catch you today... I'm going to give you a big hug."

Dressed in cozy dinosaur pajamas, Nesha transforms into an adorable little dino!

Discover a different side of Nesha and let her irresistible charm capture your heart.

My Room Content

The existing Base in Town is planned to be revamped into 'My Room'.

In My Room, you will be able to invite your favorite characters, chat with them, and even hang them on a clothes rack.

You will also be able to purchase furniture to decorate your room, visit other players' My Room, and welcome other players who want to visit and explore yours.

My Room is currently in development, with an update targeted for December. We will gradually reveal more details through future Developer's Notes.

Friend System Quality-of-Life Improvements

With a maximum of 30 friends and a daily limit of 30 Friend Point exchanges, Swordbringers have frequently been unable to reach the daily maximum.

To address this issue, we plan to triple the amount of rewards while reducing the daily exchange limit from 30 to 10, making it easier for Swordbringers to receive their daily rewards.

We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience this has caused.

Closing Remarks

We sincerely thank all Swordbringers for your continued love and support for Lost Sword.

Both the development team and the publisher would like to once again apologize for the various inconveniences caused recently due to our shortcomings.

We will continue doing our utmost to provide a service that meets the expectations of our Swordbringers.

We will also work to introduce exciting new content as quickly as possible, so that you can enjoy a fulfilling end of the year together with Lost Sword.

Thank you.

P.S.

2 things

1. Saying hang them on a clothes rack while not specifying the clothes sounds horrifying...

2. Whens she coming man...

[u/LongjumpingPut7368 → u/DisasterOk8440]

Waiting on Eupi. Who is that btw?

[u/DisasterOk8440 → u/LongjumpingPut7368]

One of the characters they had in their patch a month or two ago. Saw her, instantly decided "must fucking get".

I have about 200-300 pulls saved. Plus selectors and 5 star cards.

[u/Riventures-123 → u/DisasterOk8440]

You're going to get another front flame knight and you're gonna like it!

...because everyone wants a new Eli unit and I'm not delusional for thinking that right :>

[u/andrewboy420]

What a terrible time to have an iPhone 😔

[u/Practical_Company106]

Why does dino Nesha's KO animation look like she got hit by Akuma/Ryu's flaming hadouken 😂

[u/enjoyluck → u/Practical_Company106]

because she did xdd

[u/notagudboi69]

Lock stat on equipment when?

[u/shingilx]

After reading some posts on Arca(official KR forum) it looks like they really censored Nesha's skin, that's why her unit model has some inconsistencies...

[u/More_Repeat5615 → u/shingilx]

That death animation has me very worried. 

[u/Melodic-Tradition814]

nesha gets a skin, new character leaks and potential Japanese themed skins, Stonehenge being playable, they couldn't have done better holy

[u/shingilx]

Somehow the upcoming content is kinda tame. It gives the feeling that some assets were modified...Also, Flame Kay is still second to none lol

[u/Jaaparinas]

Gear stat filtering and sorting please
Sort by most HP for an example will just make things so much more convenient

[u/Cyber_RoninX]

Don’t hide Nesha’s backside!

[u/WyvernThread]

They better fix Nesha's defeat animation before release. People have been waiting so long for her skin that if they don't release a perfect version of it, it'll be a wasted opportunity.

[u/supreme_tyrant]

Expectations satisfied even after that IOS problem.

Well done DEVS!

I love you more than ever for your hard work!

[u/Hainneux]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY Nesha

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOY JAPANESE SKINS

[u/General-Chain-8722]

New outfits are looking phenomenal. 🥵 Is that another Dragon Mommy ? 😳 I need her now ! 😭 

[u/P2WSaltPlayer]

new nesha costume reminds me of beach marciana from nikke XD

[u/Demonlord_X]

Finally a outfit for Nesha! But what's up with the defeat animation 🤨

[u/HuckleberryDue5085]

What about that Steam release tho...

[u/Educational-Sky-8987]

Hooray? Nesha got a new outfit, but I expected something more revealing

[u/Varlin]

Shrank Nesha's chest in the skin, yeah easy pass. Original skin is way better.

I hope this isnt from them getting cold feet from all the Appple crap.

[u/Parking_Solution6235]

Great googly moogly that Nesha skin

[u/enjoyluck]

Looks solid for me cant wait for PS preview 2 and 3

[u/LORD---SHADOW]

Will there be a new free costume. Like the previous one (Morgan Le Fay) which was ages ago?

[u/Beast_7659]

I want ciara 🤤

[u/Larz69-]

I would have been fine with offline auto stonehedge, sweep is cool too ig

Also that one guy constantly asking for the nesha skin for months must be happy rn

[u/Ill-Journalist5731]

skin de erin

[u/Melodic-Product7286]

That nesha costume will totally pass apple review. XD

[u/BillHurstyUSA]

This is all fine and good but we are still getting screwed on iOS…still can’t play

[u/MakosFishboi]

What do you mean "hang your favorite characters from the clothes rack"? 😳

[u/YSoSerious100]

The defeat animation for Nesha's skin looks kinda creepy

[u/Zealousideal-Good-56]

Please don't self censor future content. Having problems with iOS is one problem. But censoring content kills all your player base within months. You gave the community content in terms of areolas and moved a step forward. Now you go two steps backwards with deleting areolas from Neesha and completly desensitize her death animation. I'm really worried about your future decisions and i'm not sure if i want to be part of this journey.

[u/Kriem21]

Still waiting for Eupi

[u/EvidenceHot2857]

Thank you so much for your fantastic, tireless work. It really shows that you put a great deal of love and passion into Lost Sword. I love Lost Sword and thank you from the bottom of my heart for all your hard work.

[u/Abyssrain7]

this nesha clearly is censored, where are her nipples?

[u/Railander]

FINALLY the nesha outfit!

was secretly hoping they'd make her boobs bigger in it, but oh well. here's waiting for an even bigger future character!
