11/2: Unchained χ JP Update - Burst System, Version 1.4.0, Meowjesty Quests

[Sign]

KINGDOM HEARTS Unchained X Japan is being upgraded to Version 1.4.0 today, and it brings with it quite a few new additions to the game!

The biggest change is the addition of the Burst system! 

-About Burst-

This is a powerful trick that can be activated once in every quest and Raid Boss battle by activating the button at the top right of the screen. It draws its power from your medals' Guilt! The more Guilted medals you have, the more powerful Burst becomes!

Burst cannot bypass enemy defenses, but it can be strengthened by your own buffs. And like all attacks, it will only inflict 1 damage to Egg enemies. (via @saltprince_)

-Upgrading Burst-

Burst LVL can increase through the following:

1. When a medal is first Guilted (Level +1) 
2. When a medal with Guilt is upgraded to MAX (Level +5) (via @grift24)

If multiple copies of the same medal are fused together to re-roll the bonus in order to achieve MAX Guilt, the Burst level will still only increase once. Medals with and without Status Bonuses receive the same treatment.

-Notes-

Medals already in a player's possession will change to reflect their appropriate Burst Levels after the Version 1.4.0 update is implemented.
You can view a medal's Burst Level by looking at the icon, which is also displayed in the album.

Example: 

Left: Medal with Guilt Bonus has lower Burst Level
Right: Medal with MAX Guilt has higher Burst level

Try your best to achieve high Burst levels for your medals!

Re: 11/2: Unchained ? JP Update - Burst System, Version 1.4.0, Meowjesty Quests

I wonder just how powerful Burst will be.

I can't complete some of the Proud+ quests or Proud Mode quests, so maybe this is just what I need.

Are you guys able to open the Game?
Looks like is still in maintenance or something.

Nope, the game's still under maintenance. (Which was originally supposed to conclude about four hours ago.)

...Maybe they're trying to address the bug preventing jewel purchase?

So is it a 1 turn turn battle or a 2 turn battle now when Second Chance activates with a pre-emptive strike? I'm still unsure why the activation of Second Chance would even start the second turn automatically.

The bug was that if Second Chance activated on a pre-emptive strike (possible with high-level enemies, most likely in the Coliseum), then the result would be a one-turn finish upon victory even if you didn't actually one-turn the enemy(s), I believe.
It was mentioned earlier in the bug report:

敵の先制攻撃でHPが0になりスキル「ラストリーヴ」が発動した場合、2ターン以上かかってバトルに勝利しても、1ターンフィニッシュになる不具合⇒ こちら11月初旬に修正予定となります。(※11/2公開のアプリVer1.4.0にて修正しました)

For some reason even after I updated, when I opened the game it had this notification thing that I can't read and can't get past

Looks like the maintencance is gonna end at 21:00 (JP)

Re: 11/2: Unchained ? JP Update - Burst System, Version 1.4.0, Meowjesty Quests

Maintenance is over and I have a full understanding of the Burst mechanic.

It isn't connected to your Medals at all, but you level your Burst up using Medals. Effectively, your Burst is determined by the total amount of Guilt you've obtained.

So now all those trash Medals you usually throw away might actually hold value!

Note that this is all about your first Guilt/MAX Guilt. So I think it's safe to say you cannot obtain Burst with duplicate Medals, such as the ones that are dropped from quests.

Spoiler Show

It was mentioned earlier in the bug report:

Okay, but say the hit-counter of a Rowdy Master reaches zero and hit attacks mid-turn, I die, but Second Chance saves me. Can I continue to attack or does the turn automatically end and the enemy can attack again? Is Second Chance really ending my turn?

Note that this is all about your first Guilt/MAX Guilt. So I think it's safe to say you cannot obtain Burst with duplicate Medals, such as the ones that are dropped from quests.

I wonder if guilted boosted and those FF medals with higher guilt count as duplicate or not in this case.

Got to love it today. It's overwhelming. Well, was able to guilt the silver Flowbermeow. On my Second game. Had to charge my phone because was playing it for so long. I got to login to my main game later and do the same. Especially stock up on mickey's etc....I LOVE the speed up of some stuff. Makes it way faster to do stuff. I noticed the changes right away.

Some of this stuff sounds really useful, hopefully the update hits the International version soon. I do wish Burst ignored defenses though. I understand why not from a balancing standpoint, but it would help a lot having a nuke to damage those annoying Lv200+ enemies. ..

felling hopeful with that burst thing. maybe i can finally beat some of those adamantite and coliseum quests with it...if they give it to us in the states.

I think the Burst feature is actually tied to the medal album. If you had guilt/max guilt on a medal before, the game should remember, there is probably no need to keep the medal after that.

If you had a medal guilted but sold/fused it prior to the implementation of the Burst system, the medal album won't remember that it was guilted. If you sell a guilted medal now, though, I think the medal album should remember.

I had Flowbermeow guilted, but I accidentally sold it some time ago. ///

Re: 11/2: Unchained ? JP Update - Burst System, Version 1.4.0, Meowjesty Quests

Still LV120

Time to get back Wakka, Tidus and co. Because I've never evolved or Guilted them...

It's stressful to get the Lv5 Bonus from old Medals

Someone at reddit wrote that he sold some guilted farmable medals a long time ago, yet they still counted for the burst level, so it's strange that didn't work for your Flowbermeow medal.
It's probably best to keep all medals until burst is introduced to be sure.
