I have implemented the following updates for #HoloParade:

■ Update Details
・Implementation of Skill Upgrade
　　After reaching Lv30, you will now earn Skill Upgrade points every 40 Skill obtaining.
　　You can perform a Skill Upgrade by consuming one point in the Talent Upgrade screen, 　 　
　　selecting one of the possessed skills, and upgrading it (to one rank higher within the same type).
　　Gold is the highest rank.Aiming for the highest rank previously incurred extremely high costs for
　　refining skills. Considering the addition of high-difficulty stages in recent updates, I have made it
　　easier to refine skills.
　　
　　In high-difficulty stages, the most crucial aspects are formation and gameplay. The stages are
　　designed to be sufficiently clearable without refining skills. However, by selectively refining
　　your skills, you can expand the range of viable formations and create more opportunities for
　　your favorite characters to shine.
・Added selection of Featured Talents in Scout Gacha
　　You can now specify Featured Talents for each gacha. By designating a desired talent as Featured,
　　it becomes easier to obtain than other talents of the same rarity.
　　Normally, unobtained talents are more likely to appear, and if there is a duplicate, an automatic
　　re-draw occurs once. However, talents designated as Featured are not subject to automatic
　　re-draws even if duplicated.

　　The probabilities for each rarity, such as UR or SR, remain unchanged, so there is no significant
　　impact on game balance. This setup makes it easier for players to personally draw their favorite
　　talents.

・Added consideration for when a talent that is fully limit-broken appears in Scout Gacha
　　Previously, if a talent that was fully limit-broken was scouted, nothing was obtained. Now, you can
　　receive either 5,000 coins or a scout ticket randomly.
　　Additionally, as compensation to players who have already fully maxed out limit breaks, scout tickets
　　equal to the number of fully limit-broken talents and 5,000 coins per talent will be granted at
　　startup.
　　Example: If there are 5 fully limit-broken talents, you will receive 5 scout tickets and 25,000 coins.

・Added synergy effects:
　　AmeSame
　　TakaMori
　　PekoMoona

・Increased coin acquisition from tours:
　　Below are the total coins obtained upon clearing the last stage of each tour (Old → New)
　　(Names are hidden to avoid spoilers)
　　Tour 1: 4,200 → 5,400
　　Tour 2: 9,200 → 11,600
　　Tour 3: 16,000 → 20,800
　　Tour 4: 26,000 → 31,000

This update has two main objectives:
For casual players, we have made it easier to obtain desired characters and slightly increased the amount of money earned from tours, allowing them to reach the end credits more easily.
For core players, we are alleviating the tedium and stress associated with progressing through end-game content and aiming for status caps by implementing things like skill evolution.

As always, there are players who find the game easy and others who find it unreasonably difficult, resulting in a significant disparity. I plan to continue exploring ways (such as enhancing guides) to help players grasp the nuances of gameplay more effectively.

Please continue to enjoy Holoparade!

I have implemented the following updates for #HoloParade:

■Specification Changes and Improvements
- Expansion of the number of savable formations from 5 to 8
Due to the addition of stages requiring Gold Aura and mascot parades, we have expanded the number of savable formations.

- Change in the specification for gaining motivation when an ally is defeated during the parade
I have changed it so that you gradually gain motivation when both enemies and allies are defeated.
(This is a compromise between the old and new specifications)

Due to the series of specification changes in the major update, I have adjusted to ensure that the difficulty level does not change as much as possible. However, this is based on the assumption that players will adapt to new strategies and master them, and core players who were accustomed to the old specifications may feel that the difficulty has increased.
One reason for this is that the specification has changed from gaining motivation when defeating enemies to gaining motivation when an ally is defeated.
In the later stages of the game, especially in levels with many enemies, it is necessary to skillfully use A-chan's beam to keep the front line. Otherwise, you will likely feel that the difficulty has significantly increased.

Considering the above,
while retaining the good aspects of the old specification where you can fight more than expected on stages with many enemies due to more opportunities to gain motivation,
the intention of the new specification is to provide a chance to regroup when the front line allies are defeated rather than just gaining an advantage when pushing forward,
and we have changed it so that a small amount of motivation is gained whether an enemy or an ally is defeated.

■Bugfix
- Correction of the issue where the status increase due to affinity was slightly lower than originally intended
- Correction of an issue where the CT was reversed between the high-cost and low-cost versions of some URs.
- Correction of English translation


Despite the changes above, except for a very few event stages (the final of the Blue-Red Trials & Endless Trials), all high-difficulty stages can be cleared without limit breaks and with a purple rarity abilities through creative formation and gameplay.

Even if it feels like there's no room for creativity due to the simple controls, small differences in timing can lead to surprisingly different outcomes! (This applies to new features in the major update as well)
However, this also means that, from the very beginning, there has been a significant difference in how players perceive difficulty, making game balance adjustments extremely precise.
I anticipate making further fine adjustments in the future, and I aim to consider these carefully while listening to your feedback. Thank you for your continued support!
