We would like to introduce the new features and changes in the Ver. 5.2.0 update.■ New My Summoner feature
You can now set up your summoner under My Summoner in the Allies menu. You can change your summoner’s appearance, name, and greeting for your friends.
When you change your summoner’s appearance they will appear with your selected look in certain situations.
To set My Summoner, tap Allies, then Interact with Allies, and then My Summoner in-game. In addition to choosing your summoner’s appearance, you can also equip accessories and use Copy Skills.
Note: Your My Summoner unit can equip accessories already equipped by a Hero.
An accessory specific to My Summoner, (S) Blindfold, will be given to you the first time you enter the Edit Accessory screen on the My Summoner menu. There are six other My Summoner accessories in the Accessory Shop in Aether Resort too, so be sure to check them out there!
