※ The Edana Rising Token is bound to Family upon acquisition and is consumed upon use.

 

※ After applying with the token, you may update your character’s displayed AP & DP in the Throne of Edana UI by interacting with each castle's throne until the 10 challengers are selected.


ex) If you applied with 355 AP & 430 DP, and later increase to 360 AP & 435 DP, your stats can be updated.

 

※ Edana cannot apply as a challenger to castles in other regions.

are selected based on the highest combined AP & DP.
