I appreciate you sharing this, but I'm unable to complete this summary accurately. The patch notes you've provided have **critical information missing** — they use backslashes (`\`) as placeholders where the actual game content should be. To write a specific, useful summary for players, I would need: - **Character names** (who is affected by the graduation/re-establishment buff?) - **Location names** (which specific areas were added?) - **Feature names** (what was added in point 65-66?) - **Ability/mechanic names** (what system enables the blocking behavior?) - **Attack type clarifications** (which attacks are affected differently?) **Without these specifics, any summary I write would be vague and unhelpful to players.** Could you provide the complete, unformatted patch notes? Once I have the actual names and details, I'll create a clear, well-organized summary following your format.
  • Improved the \ experience. After successfully graduating, \ can re-establish a new \ with their former \ .
  • Added locations in \ for \ such as \ , \ , \ , \ , and \ . Completing these in the \ also grants corresponding solo exploration rewards and progress. 65. Added \ . This enables \ for \ attacks and powerful attacks from \ , while ignoring it for regular attacks from \ . 66.
