Direct answer: Version 1.6 is live after the completed June 25 maintenance, and its delayed July content was updated again on July 2. The update adds SSR Elizabeth, the Radiant Summer Memories pickup, Elizabeth and summer skin draws, 100-day celebration rewards, Return of the Sins, A Midsummer Day's Dream, Pet Expedition missions, Hawk Pass Season III, Raid Pledge, Taranis's Sanctuary Hell difficulty, and Magic Pop after the July 2 temporary maintenance.
Elizabeth and Banner Timing
- Elizabeth Pick Up runs from after the completed June 25 maintenance until the July 15 maintenance, based on the official update details.
- The pickup uses Hero Pick Up Draw Tickets, with SSR guaranteed within 80 draws and a 50% pickup chance when an SSR appears.
- If an SSR is not the pickup hero, the next SSR is guaranteed to be the pickup hero; the 120th draw bonus guarantees the pickup once per banner and does not carry to another banner.
- Elizabeth has three official weapon routes: Grimoire Holy Warden, Staff Wind Support, and Wand Earth Burst Specialist.
Events and Rewards
- Special 100-Day Celebration Check-In can give up to 100 Regular Hero Draw Tickets over 14 days.
- Elizabeth Trial rewards include Star Fragments, Supreme Mastery EXP, Giant Bird Feather, Unnamed Knight's Token, Evening Primrose, and Mermaid's Tear.
- Return of the Sins grants SSR King and SSR Diane through Main Quest progression, then opens an Escanor pickup window after Act 13 Episode 25.
- A Midsummer Day's Dream adds Spray Island event content, Golden Wave Tokens, Boat Race content, and the Banakro field boss.
Systems Added in 1.6
- Raid Pledge adds optional Abyss raid conditions for extra Mystic Tokens and a higher equipment Quality range; the drop rate itself is not increased.
- Pet Expedition arrives with Gotcha! The Scurry Squad Expedition event missions.
- Taranis's Sanctuary Hell difficulty is added and, like Abyss, can provide up to 1,000 Star Fragments per week.
- Timespace Junction Sector 7 opened after the July 2 temporary maintenance; Sector 8 is still the next Timespace Junction opening to watch unless the official schedule changes.
July 2 Official Update Note
The official update-details page was updated on July 2 at 05:28 UTC to reflect timing changes after the temporary maintenance. Magic Pop now opens after the July 2 temporary maintenance and runs until the July 15 maintenance, and Timespace Junction Sector 7 is no longer delayed.
