Update rewards will be sent by mail after the maintenance.

Due to the maintenance, players of SEA Servers may not be able to participate in Trivia Quiz（18:30) and Dusk·Wondrous Talents (20:00) on 12/20/2021. Therefore, corresponding compensation rewards will be sent to players of SEA Servers after the maintenance.

Moreover, please pay attention to the time of your Banquets and pre-arrange them in case of any unnecessary losses. 

After the maintenance, your highness will have to download the latest game version (2.1.0) at App Store or Google Play before entering the game.

【Updates】

1. New Function

- Heir

The Heir function is coming! After the maintenance, your highness will be able to unlock Heir function at Lv. 36 and raise your own heirs. Lovers will be able to pray for an Heir when Love Vines reach Lv.5 and pray for another Heir when the first Heir becomes a teenager. Each couple can only raise up to 2 Heirs. If your character is single, you can adopt a baby in Orphanage when the character level reaches Lv.90. The baby can be taken home when Appeal reaches a certain number and the baby will be in Infant Phase. When the heir is in Infant Phase, your highness needs to take care of the baby and increase the growth point. Once the point reaches certain amount, your heir/heiress will grow into a teenager. Teenage Heirs can be deployed. If deployed, an Heir brings Team Attributes to all deployed Heroes. Besides, heirs can dress up and take courses to increase the might. After a divorce, the Heir will be sent to the Day Care, waiting for the custody to be settled. The parent with the higher Intimacy gets priority to win the custody and then the Heir will enter the Registry. With the consent of the current parent and a free slot, the Heir can be reclaimed. More details about Heir can be checked in Heir function.

2. Gameplay Adjustment and Update

Summon Tower is optimized in this update. Your highness can use 1 Summon Nectar to perform “summon*1”or use 1 Dream Spirit to perform “summon*10”. 10 Summon Nectars will not be able to perform “summon*10”. Therefore, a time-limited exchange event will be available after the update. Your highness will be able to use certain Summon Nectars to exchange for Dream Spirits. (Tips: The event is time limited. Don’t miss it.)

After the update, a UR Hero (Including Song Yu, Zhao Yun, Jia Baoyu, Princess Taipin, Huo Qubing and Li Qingzhao) can be obtained for each 100 summons. Both “summon*1”and “summon*10”will be calculated in the total summon chances. If you obtained a UR hero within 100 summons, the total summon chances won’t reset.
