The major changes and additions in the update planned for early January are as follows:
■ New Weapon Type: Beast
Heroes with the Beast weapon type will arrive!
■ Legendary Effects and Mythic Effects
To allow for Legendary Heroes and Mythic Heroes to play a more active role, Legendary Effects and Mythic Effects are being expanded.
Legendary Heroes will receive a Mythic Effect when deployed with a Mythic Hero in Aether Raids during a season that matches both of their blessing types.
Mythic Heroes will receive a Legendary Effect when deployed with a Legendary Hero in battles outside of Aether Raids during a season that matches both of their blessing types.
(Since Mythic Heroes cannot be deployed in Blessed Gardens, however, they are unable to receive a Legendary Effect there.)
Example: When the seasons are 
for Legendary Effects and 
for Mythic Effects...
○ If Fjorm: Princess of Ice and Eir: Merciful Death are deployed in an Aether Raids raiding party, Fjorm: Princess of Ice will receive HP+5 and Res+5. Additionally, victory will earn more Lift.
○ If Fjorm: Princess of Ice and Eir: Merciful Death are deployed in the Arena, Eir: Merciful Death will receive HP+3 and Spd+3. For opponent selection in the Arena, this effect will be treated the same as if the Hero has a blessing conferred on them.
In addition to this change, starting , new Arena and Aether Raids seasons will both start on Tuesday at 07:00 a.m. UTC, so swapping between Legendary Effect and Mythic Effect will not occur in the middle of a season.
The Aether Raids season that starts will be one day longer than usual, but will then return to their usual length afterward.
■ Aether Raids Update
○ Some structures will have their level cap increased:
・ Aether Fountain: up to level 3 (max of 70 Aether replenished each day)
・ Catapult (O): up to level 4

○ During placement, the Auto Setup feature will prioritize Mythic Heroes and Heroes with blessings who match the current season.
○ The ! icon displayed on the Aether Raids option in the Battle menu will be hidden.
