Iria Saga: The Grand Finale
After months of betrayal, intrigue and moral dilemmas, the Kingdom of Iria arc reaches an emotional crescendo. At the anniversary climax, your decisions carry real weight: back the exiled nobles, or rally the common folk against corruption? Each dialogue branch ripples into unique endings, while bonus flashback missions bring new players up to speed and reward veterans with hidden lore. Pixel-perfect cutscenes and a stirring soundtrack underscore every twist—no mobile SRPG has delivered stakes this high.
New Endgame Modes: Pioneering Odyssey & Expedition
Pioneering Odyssey
Pioneering Odyssey challenges you with two tactical puzzle tracks. One demands swift victory under a strict turn limit, the other drops environmental hazards—lava flows, collapsing walls—to test your party composition and movement. Conquer both paths to unlock exclusive Ascension talents that supercharge your squad’s core skills.
Expedition
Expedition shifts the focus to cooperative dungeon crawling. Team up with three fellow commanders to explore ancient ruins, share scarce resources and coordinate combo attacks. Weekly “let-loose” world events and rare crafting materials keep the mode fresh, banishing the feeling that you’ve seen it all.
Celebration Banners: Inanna & Ricardo
To spotlight the anniversary, XD Games has frontloaded two special banners. Inanna of Convallaria arrives first, dismantling enemy buffs and granting your team wide-ranging resistances. Every ten-pull guarantees a Legendary unit, softening the sting of RNG. Midway through the event, Ricardo the knight enters with devastating area-of-effect strikes to dominate the battlefield. Both banners run two weeks, alongside rerun rates for limited-edition heroes—proof that this event feels more like a community celebration than a money grab.
Freebies & Rewards: More Than Just Summons
On top of banner incentives, the Anniversary Update hands out over 20 free summons. Log in for a daily ten-pull, plus bonus crystal shards, crafting tomes and commemorative portrait keepsakes. A new Annual Review feature compiles your top achievements—highest damage, most-used hero, favorite soundtrack—into a shareable montage. Returning players unlock welcome-back bundles, and newcomers enjoy boosted XP and enhanced tutorial rewards.
Balance Tweaks & Future Roadmap
Though the update’s main star is new content, it also brings balance adjustments to a handful of underused heroes—expect subtle stat shifts and skill recalibrations to diversify viable team comps. XD Games has confirmed steady content drops in the months ahead, so this anniversary feels more like the beginning of a new era than a one-off event.
Why Now’s the Perfect Time to Return
If you shelved Convallaria after hitting the level cap or drifted away in a grind rut, this patch offers an ideal reentry point. The saga’s conclusion delivers narrative payoff, Odyssey and Expedition deepen strategy, and the flood of free pulls lets you chase fresh builds without breaking the bank.
Final Thoughts
This Anniversary Update stands as more than a mere commemoration: it’s a strategic encore that enriches Sword of Convallaria’s world and rewards both long-time fans and curious newcomers. Whether you’re here for weighty story choices, cooperative raids or just a stash of free summons, this patch proves there’s never been a better time to dive back in.
