Vortex Gaming

· Summoners War has announced a large-scale update for its 12th anniversary.
· Various cosmetic items will be added, and a Mermaid Transmog will be given out as part of the 12th-anniversary events.

· A Summoning Mileage system will be added, allowing players to guarantee a 5-star monster after a certain number of summons.
· You'll earn 1 point per normal summon, 20 points for summoning a 4-star or higher monster, and 100 points for using a guaranteed 5-star summon scroll.
· Upon reaching 2,000 points, you'll be able to summon one 5-star monster from the three elements.
· Unlike other games, your mileage will accumulate even if you summon a 5-star monster before reaching the guarantee, and it won't reset.

· 'Artifacts' are not a farming concept; a single artifact can be applied to up to 100 monsters simultaneously.
· The stats increase with enhancement, up to +15. However, failed enhancements can reduce durability, potentially making further enhancements impossible.
· They consist of Primary Options (e.g., Attack, Defense, HP %) and Unique Options (special effects).
· At +15, Primary Options can increase up to 20%, and Unique Options significantly increase in value with enhancement (e.g., 5x higher than at +0).
· Enhancement luck is crucial, but artifacts are not destroyed even if their durability reaches 0.

· Artifacts can be obtained from Amelia's Lucky Free Pass (once a month), Ancient Crystals (10 times a month), Arena Shop (Honor Points, twice a month), and Guild Shop (Guild Points, twice a month).
· They can also be crafted using fragments obtained from disassembling artifacts.
· Artifact Enhancement Stones can be obtained from Amelia's Lucky Free Pass (20 per month), by disassembling artifacts, and purchased from shops (using Crystals, Ancient Crystals, Honor Points, Guild Points).
· While there are acquisition limits, reducing the farming burden, the satisfaction of obtaining good options is expected to be high.

· By completing special quest missions, you'll receive one Water/Fire/Wind 4-star monster, one 5-star monster, and 10 skill-up materials for 5-star monsters.

· The Summoner's Quest combination mission will change from Wind Dryad to Fire Vampire, increasing convenience for early-game players.
· Amelia's Lucky Pass will be expanded to include elemental dungeons.
· Combination monsters will be added to the 4-star summon list with markers.
· Graphics for older monsters will be renewed (e.g., Sylph, Sylphid, Rites of Elements, Phoenix).
· A Deck Preset feature will be added, allowing you to save and instantly apply rune and artifact setups for monsters. (Applicable to Temple of Wishes, Cairos Dungeons, Tartarus' Labyrinth, World Boss, etc.)
· The Conqueror Rune separation feature will be removed.

· The Deck Preset feature allows you to save rune and artifact setups for monsters and instantly apply them for different content.
· You can use saved setups without needing to move runes around, making it extremely convenient.
· This will lower the barrier to entry for PVP and help solve rune scarcity issues across various content.
· This feature, previously well-received in other games, is expected to significantly improve user convenience in Summoners War.

· This 'Dev Talk' is highly satisfying as it contains large-scale update details beyond just event rewards.
· The new Artifact system, with its low farming burden, will make clearing PVE content easier through overall stat improvements.
· The Deck Preset feature is expected to greatly improve convenience for existing players and lower the entry barrier for new and returning players.
· Please look forward to the beginner's guide currently being created alongside the 12th-anniversary update.
