Developer Notes
To make Union character growth even more explosive, the EXPlode: Trio event is here — where 1+2 characters grow together at the same time.
While your main character in Challengers World progresses to Lv. 260, all accumulated EXP gained along the way can be claimed at any time by two designated companion characters.
Once your companion characters complete their growth journey, they can immediately jump into action with support rewards such as Symbols and equipment. Enjoy an even faster and more rewarding Union growth experience with your expanding roster of characters.
