Faction Wars ripple
New factions reset completion percentages for completionists. Expect months of incremental star gains rather than instant Lydia-style milestones.
Roster pacing
Early releases include a thin legendary pool; epics carry progress until banners deepen. Save books until the roster matures if you can.
Thematic kits
Nature themes often mean poisons, heals, or ally protection. Bring cleanse answers when opposing teams lean on debuffs.
