November 7 2024 Banlist Update

Version 2.1.0 Update

Deck Auto-Building Option

A new function in the Deck Build menu allows players to automatically generate a Deck with the help of AI, based on the Decks of players around the world.

Choosing Build New Deck will generate a Deck completely at random, while Add rest of the cards to this Deck will complete the rest of the Deck based on the currently chosen cards.

Displaying Deck Details

Players can now check their full list of cards in their Main Deck and Extra Deck in the middle of a Duel! This will allow you to check for cards prior to an activation that needs specific cards, like Crossout Designator.

Desired Finish in Boost Generate

In the Boost Generate option, players can now craft cards until the desired Card Finish is obtained! For N and R-rarity cards, they can be made until a Glossy Finish is obtained, while SR and UR cards can be crafted until a Royal Finish cards is created.

Don't Dismantle Option

Players can now choose up to 50 specific cards in the Deck Menu to lock in, meaning they cannot be dismantled while they are in this selection. This is a safety measure to ensure you do not dismantle your favorite and rarest cards, like those with a Royal Finish.

Pack Tickets in Shop Screen

Pack Tickets are now shown on the Shop menu's header. They are also displayed on each Pack's purchase screen, which also includes Legacy Pack Tickets!

Replay Changes

Lots of replay changes are being implemented for Version 2.1. Changes for this function include:

・You can save over old replays with new ones ・Locking current replays ・Putting tags on replays ・Three Main Cards added to Replay Screen ・Coin toss winner featured in Replay Screen ・Deck checking in replays ・Increasing saved replays via missions

Missions to Increase Replays

A new Lifetime Mission has been added to the game involving the Proficency Test Guide. Earn more Replay slots by reaching certain Proficiency levels!
