🔧 Issue Fixes

1. Flame Amp Ability Damage Issue Fixed

- Fixed an issue where switching to another Dragon without attacking while the Flame Amp Ability was active caused the damage of subsequent Fire-element skills to become abnormally low.

2. Raid Battle Results MVP Animation Issue Fixed

- Fixed an issue where entering the Battle Results screen without defeating the Raid Boss caused the MVP animation for the most active Dragon to briefly appear and then disappear.

- This was a display issue affecting only the MVP animation and did not affect the battle results.

3. Arena Dragon Selection Phase Progress Issue Fixed

- Fixed an issue where, if the network connection became unstable while selecting Dragons in Arena, progress would stop with the timer showing 0 seconds on the screen indicating that the opponent was selecting a Dragon.

4. Battle Could Not Progress Due to Intermittent Replacement Pop-up Issue Fixed

- Fixed an issue where the replacement screen could intermittently close on its own when an allied Dragon was defeated and needed to be replaced, preventing the battle from continuing.

5. Infinite Loading Issue When Returning to Delegated Dungeon Battle Fixed

- Fixed an issue where returning to the battle screen while a Dungeon battle was being conducted through Delegation caused loading to continue indefinitely on a black screen, preventing the battle from progressing.

- Please note that when this issue occurred, the consumed Fatigue was returned after reconnecting to the game.

6. Some Icon Size Display Issues Fixed

- Fixed an issue where, when first viewing the Egg list in the Bag after launching the game, some Common Egg icons appeared larger than other Eggs.

- Village Building icons and Sticker Pack icons that experienced the same issue will also now be displayed at a consistent size.

We hope you continue to enjoy even more exciting adventures through the new content and various improvements.

We will continue to carefully review the game so you can enjoy a stable experience.
