We deeply value the feedback from our users regarding Moment Cards.

Moment Cards have been designed to maintain team balance while also helping to strengthen weaker positions.

Our goal is to offer users more lineup flexibility and strategic options.
To achieve this, we plan to expand the acquisition sources for Moment Cards.

With the upcoming update, we will expand acquisition sources by introducing revamped Check-in Rewards, Content Shops, and an exclusive Moment Scout, ensuring more opportunities to acquire Moment Cards.
Additionally, we plan to add more acquisition sources in future updates.

Furthermore, as previously mentioned in the Dev Note, we will introduce a Synergy Effect system.
This system will provide stat boosts based on the rarity and number of player cards in your lineup, ensuring greater diversity and long-term utilization of various player cards.
* The Synergy Effect does not include any stat deduction.

More details on Moment Card acquisition expansions and the Synergy Effect will be provided along with the upcoming V.3.00.00 Update.

Thank you.
