System

• Relic Synthesis optimization: You can now select a character when synthesizing Relics, and the system will recommend appropriate Main Stats and highlight suggest main/sub affixes in the Customized Synthesis screen.
• Relic Synthesis reward screen now uses a "Close" button rather than being dismissed by tapping in the blank areas of the screen.
• Smart Equip optimization: Trailblazers can now select and replace individual Relics for each slot in Character > Relics > Smart Equip. Selected Relics will be marked and prioritized in recommendations. The Smart Equip screen now stays open after equipping Relics, allowing for easier adjustments.
• Optimizes the rules for Smart Equip system recommendations, hint texts when changing Relics, priority hints for obtaining missing slots, and Relic information descriptions.
• Optimizes the experience when repeatedly obtaining duplicate 4-star Light Cones through Store exchanges and Light Cone Salvage Retrieval. Trailblazers can now tap the skip button in the screen to skip acquisition animations for duplicate Light Cones.

The method of synthesizing "Wishful Resin" using "Relic Remains" will be converted to synthesizing "Self-Modeling Resin," with the monthly synthesis limit remaining at 2. The version update will not reset the monthly synthesis limit, meaning you can still only synthesize up to 2 "Self-Modeling Resin" or "Wishful Resin" using "Relic Remains" in the month of the version update.
• After the Version 3.5 update, Trailblazers' existing "Wishful Resin" will be automatically converted to "Self-Modeling Resin" at a 1:1 ratio.
