5 story quests and 25 Proud quests will be added after maintenance. The curtain rises for Union Cross! What's the leader's first job?
Version 2.3.0 introduces the new Pet System! Go on adventures with your own pets!
- This system will be available through the HOME screen after clearing Main Quest 14
Pets can be equipped with medals, and you will be able to attack using that medal as the 6th slot of your deck. Various feats can also be triggered in battle.
You will be able to name your pets, change its appearance with coordinates and strengthen it.
Pressing the light blue button at the upper part of the Equipment screen will show the pet's medal slot that. The equipped medal can be used as the 6th slot of your deck in battle.
(1) Tap on the pet's icon at the upper left corner of your screen to access the Pet Main Screen where you can change its name, coordinates and strengthen it.
Press the Coordinates button on the Pet screen to change your pet's appearance with different parts!
(2) Press the Strengthen button on the Pet screen to set support medals to increase pet rank, separate from medals used in battle. Medals used will not be consumed.
Pet rank is determined by the total points of 6 medals that can be set here.
(A) As rank increases, the multiplier in the 6th slot increases
Pets will receive a different value of points from each medal.
Medals with traits grant more points.
(B) Press this button to automatically set medals that grant the most points
Skills that pets learn can be activated by achieving various conditions in battle.
Details on these can be accessed via the Special Skill List on the Pet Main Screen

Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Yeah I don't like the Pet system... :( It's nice we're getting a 6th slot though. I hope there are some cool parts! I want a majestic pet. :D Still hyped about this.
The "clear deck"-button is a cool addition. Yay to that.
Yay to LV500 cap as well!! Yay to Auto Mode fix!
Also interested in the Game Center Trophy-thing :O
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Guilt Filter, finaaally. Made Proud so annoying having to just kinda remember what tier each medal is.
Lvl up to 500 is cray. So excited for new avatar boards.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
I'm really happy about the extra cost board and the phone not entering sleep mode anymore then. That always annoys me.
I just reached level 299 in jp so the cap increase is great too.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
More avatar boards heck yeah! Time to start actually doing the weekend raid bosses again. Not sure about this pet feature but we'll see. Could be cool, could be really annoying.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Love how the pet system is looking. :3 Heh, I was right about the pet system adding a sixth slot to attack, and figured the medals would level it up... just curious, do the medals we give the pet get consumed for it to level?
Also loving the level increase finally...XD Hope we get this stuff in global too tomorrow.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
So phones going to sleep during auto-raid is an in-game issue? I thought it was just the settings on my phone, so I set my phone to go to sleep after 5 minutes. But that isn't my preferred setting for anything aside from auto-raiding, so I like this.
Wondering how this Pets feature is going to go. Hopefully I'll be able to keep up. There's already so much I need to do in this game to increase my power.

Yeah, usually apps have a feature of keeping your phone awake. Otherwise watching a video on youtube would really suck xD
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Yeah I don't like the pet system either. The pets just look weird and the game didn't need anymore cute. It's cute already and this is kind of pushing it. Not to mention that I'm really concerned about Union Cross and the app crashing once again when too much movement is happening on the screen at once.
The level 500 cap is fucking rad though! And I'm happy about the new filters. Also damn, can't wait to see the story, that spoiler pic *_*
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Holy cows, LEVEL 500!? 200 More levels to gain, me likey. Hope the EXP curve didn't get spiked like going from 200 to 201 (or was it 250-251?) did. Also, the Pets system sounds interesting. It's a permanent 6th slot, which means maybe it can also get buffs and take advantage of debuffs? And if Rank 2 is 2.4x, what's the initial amount? Man, I really hope NA is getting it as well, but there's been no Maintenance notice so I guess we'll find out.

I'm sure we're going to get it, I'm just not so sure about the original planned date of tomorrow, but we'll see.

Yeah, I should've specified that I hope we're getting it tomorrow too, instead of needing to wait another week. I really wanna try the pets firsthand, and see what kind of level jump will happen. I was reminded that last time the Level cap went up, our Lux total raised our level retroactively after completing a mission. I've been regularly getting top 500 in the past 3-4 Raid Events, so I'm hoping for a nice jump. And looking forward to the later free Avatar Boards...at last more use for the Coins.

It really was lining up nicely to come during roughly the middle of our raid week. I really hope it still comes tomorrow. I mean, they can still say it came out in JP first, because it did.

Yeah, I'm getting game crashes when too many special attacks are going off at once in Union Cross. Takes a lot of my patience to get through it, and not getting angry about losing everything after battling for a bit and then getting booted.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
liked the additional slot for medal but dont quite like the pet, well lets see whatelse it does in future. as for the lvl cap increase i was pretty hyped about it before i hit lv301, becos now i need abit over 500m lux to reach next lvl... like wtf... thats just insane... feeling maybe i can hit lv500 in 2020 XD
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Hmm...so a player's desk has six medals now, and if the "borrowed" friend medal is counted as well we have seven yet again.
Oh Nomura, you and your number games...<__< :biggrin:
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Updated with Kairi KH Illustrated EX. This is insane:
[FONT=Verdana][/FONT]
For 1 turn: Upright ATK+2, ATK+7, PSM ATK+6, enemy DEF-3, PSM DEF-4. Increases Counter+1, recovers a large amount of HP, SP+5
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
"Have I broken the game yet? (✿◠‿◠)"
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Not sure what the hell Upright Attack is supposed to be calculated as, but I freaking KNEW IT! The next uber Kairi would be Kairi EX. That thing is insane.

Aaaand I feel in love all over again. Hello, gorgeous.
Seriously, can we appreciated that Kairi, miss "weak and useless" according to the fandom is always one of the most broken characters in Union?
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Probably a new stat and it boosts Upright Medals
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Spent all 33k Jewels I had trying for Kairi EX, didn't get her :'^D
please let me have a +6/7 gen atk buffer
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
My third pull.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
My third pull.
Please give me your luck :'^))
[SIZE=2]Hopefully I'll be able to get another 1900 Jewels before the draw ends, I'd like to not be stuck with +3 atk buffers.[/SIZE]
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
My third pull.
Can I make a reservation for your luck for when this will be in eng?
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
guys, i'd also like to be this lucky in na. xD i did 12 pulls and didnt get roxas ex, which means i dont have a single ex
i need this kairi in na T^T
Also, Faemarch, wish there was an option to give away Medals xD I'm not even active in JP
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
So if the Upright Attack stat was non-existent, an Extra Attack KairiEX will fully buff yourself, and will be 1 DEF away from fully debuffing a neutral-stat enemy?!
It's OP opportunities like this why Upright/Reverse attack (and maybe defense) are now becoming a thing, so I'm very thankful for that. :)
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Hmm I hope we get the moogle jewels right after that event ends, thatd mean at least 7000 free jewels for me to try and get her.

Those'll be distributed on 10/3 JST at around 15:00 JST, which is unfortunately after the Kairi EX draw ends.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Oh ofc. Why ever give something nice, lol.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
My third pull.
Got her on my third pull too, I'm already in love.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
I've spent over 40,000 Jewels
No Kairi.
No guarantee draws are a crime against humanity.

Huh, and I thought I had it bad at 33k Jewels.
I'm still stuck using +3 atk buffers, so maybe I do still have it bad.
[SIZE=2]I should be able to squeeze out just enough Jewels for one more pull by the end of the week, but in any case I really hope that Kairi EX won't be required to clear future events.

I can't imagine what that's been like the past few months.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Lol...starting to wonder if Kairi being broken in khux has anything to do with how she'll be in 3.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Sorry, but that Kairi is seriously insane and that's not a good thing. What I like about Union Cross is that you can do a lot if you experiment with you setup a bit to get the maximum efficiency out of the stuff you have - I've lately been using Mr. Smee because it had extra attack and was able to make gdd-2 on all targets. Medals like that Kairi just kill any kind of strategic thinking and leave those who don't get her far behind in the desert. There has always been powercreep, but the latest powercreep is just ridiculous and reduces the game to "How many Exes do you have? How many foretellers? Have you rolled EA40 at least?" - this might be fun in JP where you don't lack the jewels and the right pull rates (and you get some things even fully orbed when you pull them), but thinking of this in NA makes me wanna puke prophylactically. I know and appreciate that NA is lately getting better but we need even more changes until we arrive at this beast of a medal, otherwise it's gonna get ugly. xD
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Got her in my fourth pull! Tho wow that medal is something else
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
I agree, the jump is just huge. Foretellers were already pretty op and now this. It gets a bit boring if every top setup is identical, and you'll be left far behind if you don't get the EX medals. My favorite part of the game is testing out tons of different setups for the events, sometimes even some old tier 2 medals with ea or other useful traits, combining the defense medals, balancing between everything and finding different ways to beat stuff. Now it's being reduced to everyone having a foreteller and double copying it to brute force through everything, and this Kairi won't help for sure.
Well, we'll see how it turns out in NA, if we don't get mercy pulls like in JP that's going to change it a bit.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
I decided to download KHUX JP today... you get 10k Jewels, twice. 2k for the download. 100 daily login, plus 300 for first day. 22400 jewels to pull on the new Kairi banner, of which I had to reset my account once for. Pulled, guilted now at 200%!

:,| Seems my 15k~ loss is downright acceptable.
And um, QUESTION: Weren't we supposed to get 3000 jewels as a login bonus when the update came? I know, I know, we got 10k today from the retweet "exercise", but I wasn't aware that was replacing the other bunch. ?_?); Or was that login bonus only ever related to global's update?
summary: I think everyone would really like to draw for Kairi some more. ._.);;;

3000 jewels are just for Global.

AHHHkay, fair enough then. :,3c
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
I agree that these medals are just too gamebreaking. Foretellers, Kairi EX, soon everyone will either get left behind or all have the same medals. Like Veevee, I also like to make use og some medald that look shit at first (my Smee has EA40 as well xD) and medals like this one just kill all that.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Okay, so today I made a JP account
Today I also beat JP Hades Cup with Sleeping Lion +5...
Difficulty between the two versions are hugely comparable!
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
521 million Lux required for LV301 by the way.
Watch it go to billions once we hit LV350
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
My third pull.
Dude are you effing kidding me WHY DO YOU PULL EVERY SINGLE FREAKING MEDAL IN BOTH JP AND NA???

SHUT UP. "Before I did" SO YOU GOT HER AFTER ALL, BUT I GOT NO PRETTY DRAWN AQUAS AND I'M so sad :( And neither did I get Roxas Ex, I wasted all those pulls... I don't even like Xion <_< At least she'll be useful in Proud Mode.
But dang... Kairi's pull rates will be even worse I imagine... at least for NA -.-

I'm about halfway to 301 after a day of raids (only participating in the 2 LUTs for the full period). If they give them to us regularly, it shouldn't be too bad but it's so exhausting, especially if you're in unfavorable time zones.
Re: 9/21 Union ? JP Update: 5 story quests, Version 2.3.0
Omg... that Kairi Ex medal... long have I awaited... but there's no way I'll get her...XD I've literally gotten no Ex medals in global except the " Kh3 Sora Art Ex" free medal that everyone got. XD My luck is always horrible with Ex medals... but idk... I kinda have this thing with "accumulating luck," eventually after so much negative luck, I'll amass like an impossible positive luck randomly... please accumulating luck....XD Soon...
