・Resolved Issues

The following issues have been resolved:

・An error message may appear when enhancing characters under certain conditions.

・In events including Raid Battle and Special Event, pressing the Stamina restore button while certain dialogs are open may cause the Stamina recovery dialog to appear behind the current dialog.

・Suited's voice lines do not play correctly when skipping Trainings.

・When ★4 Kafka Hibino [The Man Who Became a Reindeer] uses his Ultimate, the target character may not appear in the skill animation.

・On the Shop screen, a discrepancy may occur in the resource cost displayed immediately after opening the exchange confirmation dialog.

・On the Battle Details screen, text may sometimes overlap with the scroll bar.

・In Special Event, pressing the "To Events" button within Shop > Interlude Note may not correctly navigate to the event during certain periods.

・The description for ★5 Wang Meixing [Negotiator of Wit and Charm]'s "Plan in Orbit" effect was found to be incomplete and has been corrected.

Before correction: Each time a Kaiju takes DoT, this unit's Ultimate Gauge +4.

After correction: Each time a Kaiju or an ally takes DoT, this unit's Ultimate Gauge +4.

*This is only a text correction. The actual effect remains the same.
