■ Summoner Duels is being updated.
○ We will improve the controls when Double Tap to Wait is off.
Currently, Double Tap to Wait is always on in Summoner Duels, even if you have it turned off in the game’s settings. In order to help prevent players from unintentionally ending turns early, we will revise it so when Double Tap to Wait is turned off in Summoner Duels, and you have Heroes who can still make actions or are affected by Canto, you will need to tap three times to wait.
Regarding Canto, this will be applied in situations outside of Summoner Duels as well.
Note: The game’s behavior when Double Tap to Wait is turned on will be unchanged by the update.
○ We will improve a portion of the game’s behavior when a communications error occurs.
Currently, when a communication error occurs on your end after an opponent concedes, the game will prioritize the communications error, resulting in a loss for you. We will improve the system so that even if a communication error occurs on your end after your opponent concedes, the match will count as a victory for you.
■ Aether Raids is being updated

・ Escape Ladder (O): up to level 7
You can return all of a lost battle’s Aether cost up to 7 times by placing a Level 7 Escape Ladder. Be sure to put this structure to good use!
