There's a lot to unpack and enjoy in this latest chapter!

One of the highlights of this update is the chance to snag a 3-star student from Fest Recruitment with double the odds. And don't worry about your Recruitment Points expiring; even after January 29th, you can convert them into Keystone Pieces, which will be waiting for you in your mailbox.

This event runs until February 7th, so make sure to jump in and grab these unique additions to your squad.
