Thinking of getting back into the game if I have enough time once college ends, if only to save gems once Kieran releases. Stopped playing around the time the two Greninja champions were released, did they make any significant changes?
Also did the story advance in any way? The Nemona event seemed to be building up a champion tournament iirc
There's a new chapter of the story, focusing on mysterious stone items that started showing up from the trainer lodge around when Nemona released and Hisuian Trainers, for the most part
In terms of gameplay, not a ton has changed. They've released new, harder fights that are permanently available, reward 300 gems per fight, and are entirely optional in their base state. There is a function to give characters a second effect to their sync move now, and two new roles for extra effects for those.
There's a new mode called the Battle Rally, which functions kinda like a Rogue-Lite. You go through 10 fights, can choose a difficulty for each of them (normal. hard or very hard), each getting progressively higher stat multipliers and ending off with one of the hard fights i just mentioned, with reduced stats if you go for the easier options. You get tickets to buy items that can boost your team's stats, activate field effects or give your team some quality that they wouldn't normally have like permanently reduced damage taken, massively accelerated sync cooldown, or even just a massive stat boost. Once done, you get any tickets you didn't use to buy items with
