1. Growth Extraction System

2. Transcendence System Structure Update

- The Transcendence system has been restructured, and new Transcendence Cards (EXP items) have been added.

- The EXP required for Transcendence, and the EXP granted by materials for each card rarity, will be adjusted to a new value structure.

Example: Signature Card Transcendence

> EXP required for Signature Card 1 Transcendence: EXP 1 → EXP 1,000

> Using a Same-Team / Same-Position Signature Card as material: Gain 1,000 EXP → Advance by 1 Transcendence level

> Using a Same-Player Signature Card as material: Gain 3,000 EXP → Advance by 3 Transcendence levels

- The Transcendence EXP UI will also be changed from the current slot-based format to a gauge-based format.
