■ Divine Codes (Part 5) have been added

New Divine Codes that can be used to compile Normal Combat Manuals, Divine Codes (Part 5) are available! Mjölnir’s Strike and other events from which Divine Codes can be obtained will, after the update, switch from Divine Codes (Part 4) to Divine Codes (Part 5).

Notes:

Also, along with the addition of Divine Codes (Part 5), a new Normal 5 category has been added to the Compile menu. There are Ascended Hero & Rearmed Hero Combat Manuals in Normal 5 as well, so please check it out!

Note: If you compile a Combat Manual for an Ascended Hero that you haven’t made your ally, you will not receive an Ascendant Floret.

Please note that you will still be able to compile Normal 1 through 4 Combat Manuals after the update. Normal 1 Combat Manuals are generally compiled with Divine Codes (Part 1), and so on, but if you don’t have enough older Divine Codes, you can supplement them with Divine Codes (Part 5). Older Divine Codes will be prioritized.

Example: If you wish to compile a Normal 3 Combat Manual that requires 1,200 Divine Codes and you have 100 Divine Codes (Part 3), 200 Divine Codes (Part 4), and 1,000 Divine Codes (Part 5), the Divine Codes (Part 3) will be consumed first, followed by your Divine Codes (Part 4). Finally, your Divine Codes (Part 5) will account for the remainder.

Note: You cannot compile Combat Manuals that require new Divine Codes by using older Divine Codes.

■ A Display Skill Keywords feature has been added to Settings

A Display Skill Keywords feature has been added to the Settings menu and can be switched On or Off. When switched to Off, the descriptive text portion of skill keywords displayed within 【】 in the skill description will not be displayed.

■ Other changes

○ The behavior of some skills has been corrected.

The “Holy Light” Special Skill series (Holy Pressure, Light’s Restraint, Holy Panic, and Glitter of Light) has been adjusted. Previously, the part of the skill that inflicted a penalty on a designated foe(s) after combat when the Special was triggered was not triggering after combat in situations where the unit was defeated. The skill series has been adjusted so that this effect does trigger, even if the unit is defeated.

The adjusted skills are as follows:

・ Holy Pressure
・ Light’s Restraint
・ Holy Panic
・ Glitter of Light

Example: Glitter of Light
If an Assist skill is used, unit’s Special cooldown
count does not go down. When Special triggers,
boosts damage by 45% of foe’s Res (calculates
damage from staff after combat damage is
added). If this Special is triggered during
combat, after combat, inflicts status on target
and foes within 2 spaces of target preventing
counterattacks through their next actions.

Patch notes:

■ Book VIII of the main story begins!

Starting 7/12/2023 7:00(UTC), Book VIII of the main story will open.

The Kingdom of Askr and the Emblian Empire overcome their hardships and join hands. However, that peace is suddenly shattered by the forces of Yggdrasill, the World-Tree. After Ratatoskr—who was sent to assassinate Alfonse—joins their side as an ally, the Order of Heroes faces a terrifying conspiracy…

5★ Mythic Hero Ratatoskr: Mending Hand will join your barracks if you clear Part 5 of Chapter 1 of Book VIII on Normal difficulty.

Be sure to watch the Book VIII Opening Movie and witness Ratatoskr dashing across the World-Tree and setting the scene for Book VIII! You can jump right into the story of Book VIII even if you haven’t completed Books I through VII.

And to celebrate the beginning of Book VIII, starting 7/12/2023 7:00(UTC), we will be holding the Book VIII: Ratatoskr and More summoning event and the Book VIII Begins Celebration!

In this New Heroes summoning event, Ratatoskr: Mending Hand is available as a part of the 5★ focus category along with New Heroes from the Fire Emblem Awakening game.

Note: Because Ratatoskr: Mending Hand is a Mythic Hero, she does not appear in normal summoning events. The next time she is scheduled to appear in a summoning event is this month’s Legendary Hero summoning event.

You can make two copies of 5★ Hero Inigo: Flower Picker your ally by completing quests, and there will be Log-In Bonuses from which you can get Dragonflowers and more as part of the Book VIII Begins celebratory events!

Note: Achievement headers/achievements for clearing the main story will not be added for Book VIII and future Books because the maximum number of achievements that can be set in the store will have been reached.

■ A new event, Affinity Auto-Battles, is being added!

A new event where you battle together with Heroes from other worlds, Affinity Auto-Battles, will begin. Enjoy checking your affinity while getting rewards!

Affinity Auto-Battles is an event in which individual Heroes are each dispatched to different worlds to take on missions with the help of other players’ units. The affinity between your forces and the allied team is determined before battles.

Note: Affinity is somewhat mysterious and may not give you results you expect.

The greater your affinity, the more of a stat boost your Heroes will receive in combat! Additionally, an Affinity Bonus will be added to your score. Because battles take place using Auto-Battle, the better the results of your affinity, the greater your advantage in battle.

You can see a small preview of this event in action in the Feh Channel (December 4, 2023) video that was recently released. We hope you take a look!

This event is scheduled to be held for the first time starting 18/12/2023 7:00(UTC).

More details and gameplay tips will be included in notifications leading up to the event.

■ The range of Heroes that you can make your allies in Binding Worlds will be expanded
