The following will introduce the new features and changes in the Ver. 9.0.0 update:
■ Book IX of the main story begins!
Starting , Book IX of the main story will open.
It's an invasion from the celestial realm Ásgarðr! Gods with overwhelming power have accused you of plotting to take control of the nine realms. Amid this chaos, the Order of Heroes come across Rune, who had fled from the heavens...
5★ Light Mythic Hero Rune: Source of Wisdom will join your barracks if you clear Part 5 of Chapter 1 of Book IX on Normal difficulty.
Be sure to watch the Book IX Opening Movie and see the Order of Heroes square off against the gods of Ásgarðr as they give refuge to Rune! You can jump right into the story of Book IX even if you haven't completed Books I through VIII.
And to celebrate the beginning of Book IX, starting , we will be holding the Book IX: Rune and More summoning event and the Book IX Begins Celebration!
■ Aether Raids has been updated
○ Calling Circle, a new structure, has been added.
If a Mythic Hero with Raiding Party Call is in your raiding party, this structure allows a reinforcement to appear on turn 3.
(The image on the left is from before the reinforcement appears, while the image on the right is from after the reinforcement appears.)
Mythic Heroes who appear in Ver. 9.0.0 or later, including Rune: Source of Wisdom, will have Raiding Party Call.
Calling Circles can be built after the game has been updated.
Note: Reinforcement slots cannot be used if there are no seasonal Mythic Heroes with Raiding Party Call in your raiding party.
See the notification entitled Feh Channel Supplement: About the New Aether Raids Structure - Calling Circle for more details.
With the addition of the new structure, the following will take place in Aether Raids.
