[Update Details]

1. New Title Screen

 - A new title screen image has been applied with the v3.06.00 update.

2. Club Battle Revamp

 - Club Battle has been fully revamped with the addition of Formation Settings and a new 1v1 Round format.

 ※ The revamped Club Battle will begin on Sep. 25, 01:00 AM EDT, and will first be held as a Preseason to help you adjust to the new system.

 1) Tier System Revamp

  - The previous league structure has been revamped into a Tier system. Club Points will now determine Club Tier and World Rankings.

  - Club Points can be earned by winning Club Battle Rounds.

  - Reaching certain Club Point milestones will increase the Club Tier and grant rewards.

  - At the start of a new season, Club Points will be adjusted based on the results of the previous season.

  - Clubs participating in Club Battle for the first time will start with 1,000 CP (Bronze III), and CP will not drop below 1,000.

  * During the Preseason, Clubs can reach up to Diamond I Tier.

 2) Club Battle Format

  - After the revamp, Club Battles will run for 14 Rounds per season, with one Round held per day and no breaks in between.

  - Each Round is divided into four phases: Round Matching, Round Battle, Round Settlement, and Rest.

* The EAST server follows KST and the WEST server follows EDT/EST.

  - Each Round is played in a 1v1 format, and the Club that earns the higher Round Score wins.

  - Every Club member has 3 attack chances and 3 defense chances.

  - Winning against an opposing Club member grants Round Score.

  - After the Club Battle revamp, you can now attack the same opponent up to 3 times.

  - If you lose an attack, the defending Club member receives an OVR -2 debuff (up to -20).

  - Successfully defeating an opposing Club member three times will deduct all of that member’s defense chances and grant your Club a Club Emblem.
  - Additional Round Score is awarded based on the number of Club Emblems obtained.

  - Winning a round will net you Club Points, while losing a round will deduct them.

  - The amount of points gained or lost is determined by the Club Point difference between the two matched Clubs.

  - Clubs with the lower CP will earn more points when winning, while Clubs with the higher CP will lose more points when defeated.

  - At the end of a Round, additional Club Points are gained or lost based on the Round Score gap.

 3) Club Member Formation Settings

  - A new strategic element, Formation Settings, has been added to Club Battle.

  - Formations can only be set by the Club Master or Vice Master, and may be changed from the Club Battle Rest period until 2 hours before the Round starts.

  - Formations are divided into Offense, Defense, and Balance, each applying different OVR buffs and debuffs:

   > Offense Formation: OVR +2 buff when attacking, OVR -1 debuff when defending.

   > Defense Formation: OVR +2 buff when defending, OVR -1 debuff when attacking.

   > Balance Formation: No OVR buffs or debuffs.

  - Members in Offense and Defense Formations start with their OVR revealed, and both Formations must always have the same number of members assigned.

  - Members in the Balance Formation start with their OVR hidden, but it will be revealed once they are attacked.

  - New Club members who join during a Round will be eligible for Formation Settings starting from the Club Settlement completion after that Round ends.

 4) Club Battle Rewards

  - By participating in Club Battles, you can earn Tier Rewards, Rank Rewards, Round Rewards, and Game Rewards.

   > Tier Rewards: Distributed at the end of the season based on your Club’s final Tier.

   > Rank Rewards: Distributed at the end of the season based on your Club's final ranking.

   > Round Rewards: Granted after each Round, based on your Club’s current Tier and the Round result (win/loss).

   > Game Rewards: Granted after each match, based on your Club’s current Tier and the match result.

  * The Club Battle opening on Sep. 25 will run as a Preseason, and all rewards will be distributed as Preseason Rewards.
