System Update
Ascension & Specialty Costs
Costs for ascension and specialty upgrades were reduced for a large group of generals.
- Runestone costs reduced for many older generals
- Runestone + Blood of Ares reduced for higher-tier generals
- Compensation issued based on existing progress
If you have older generals sitting unfinished, they just became cheaper problems.
Version Update
5.22.0
- Goddess Attendant cap increased to 60
- Book Warehouse storage increased to 1800
- First-time refine now automatically retains attributes
- Server War UI and probability displays improved
- Monarch Score Chest rewards increased, including resources, speedups, and refining stones
A rare mix of useful and not immediately annoying.

Still easy to ignore. Slightly less worth ignoring.
Field Observation
A Stable Update
If an update improves one system, adjusts three others, and adds one more thing to track, it is considered stable.
Official reference: Version 5.22 and Three Temple Blessings, March 27, 2026. The linked announcement supports the named update or event, not every general ranking or comparison in this issue.
Upgrade carefully.
Decisions compound.
Efficiency first. Chaos by appointment.
