UI
As your Family grows and more characters join your adventure, you can strategically place them where they are needed to make the most of their abilities.
But as your roster expands, managing all of your characters can become time-consuming, and some may end up sitting idly by.
To help with this, the last maintenance introduced a feature that makes it easier to use your Family characters’ Energy. And now, with today’s update, we've added a new function that lets you manage your Family characters more easily and intuitively right from the World Map UI.
You can now instantly see where your characters are on the World Map, move them around, retrieve items, or even leave notes to help you keep track of important details.
We hope these improvements make your adventures with your Family characters even more enjoyable.
