Vortex Gaming

· Summoners War has announced a grand update for its 12th anniversary.
· A 12th-anniversary event is planned, including the addition of various customization items and the distribution of Mermaid Transmogs.

· The Summon Mileage system will be added, allowing players to obtain a guaranteed 5-star monster after a certain number of summons.
· 1 point is awarded 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, a 5-star monster of one of the three elements will be guaranteed.
· Unlike existing games, even if a 5-star is summoned during the process, the points accumulate without resetting.

· 'Relics' are not a farming concept; they are equipment that can be simultaneously applied to up to 100 monsters.
· Stats increase with enhancement, up to a maximum of +15. However, failed enhancements can reduce durability, potentially making further enhancement impossible.
· They are divided into Primary Options (Attack, Defense, HP % increase) and Unique Options (special effects).
· At +15, the primary option increases up to 20%, and the unique option's stats increase significantly with enhancement (e.g., 5 times higher compared to +0).
· Enhancement luck is important, and relics are not destroyed even if their durability reaches 0.

· Relics 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 dismantling.
· Relic Enhance Stones can be obtained from Amelia's Lucky Free Pass (20 per month), by dismantling relics, and purchased from shops (Crystals, Ancient Crystals, Honor Points, Guild Points).
· There are acquisition limits, so the farming burden is low, but satisfaction is expected to be high upon obtaining good options.

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

· The Summoner Quest combination mission will change from Wind Dryad to Fire Vampire, increasing convenience for new players.
· Amelia's Lucky Pass application range 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 (Sylphid, Sylph, Praha, Phoenix, etc.).
· A Deck Editing (Preset) function will be added, allowing players to save and instantly apply monster rune and artifact settings. (Applicable to Temple of Wishes, Cairos Dungeon, Tartarus' Labyrinth, World Boss, etc.)
· The Occupant Rune separation function will be removed.

· The Deck Editing function allows players to save rune and artifact settings for monsters and instantly apply them for different content.
· It's very convenient as saved settings can be used without needing to move runes separately.
· This will lower the entry barrier for PVP and help solve rune scarcity issues in various content.
· This feature, which was well-received in other games in the past, is expected to significantly improve user convenience when implemented in Summoners War.

· This 'Dev Talk' is highly satisfactory as it contains details of a massive update that goes beyond simply providing event-based rewards.
· The new Relic system, with its low farming burden, will make clearing PVE content easier by improving overall stats.
· The Deck Editing function is expected to greatly improve convenience for existing players and lower the entry barrier for new and returning players.
· Please also look forward to the beginner's guide currently being created alongside the 12th-anniversary update.
