So here's the thing about this new update - it's basically Christmas morning for anyone who mains Kanna or Hayato. The v.266 patch is bringing what they're calling the Sengoku Warrior Reawakening, and honestly? It's about time these classes got some love.
First up, we're getting Ascent Skills for five characters: Lynn, Mo Xuan, Sia Astelle, and our Sengoku duo. But the real meat of this update? Kanna and Hayato are getting completely reworked from the ground up. Yeah, you heard that right - total gameplay overhaul. I've been playing Kanna since 2022, and let me tell you, some of these changes were desperately needed.
Princess Sakuno's making an appearance too with a support event that's throwing free leveling gifts at everyone. Perfect timing if you ask me, especially with all these new skills to test out. And if you've got some spare cash burning a hole in your pocket, New Leaf Mall is stocking exclusive goodies for the event. No rush though - looks like you can grab stuff at your own pace instead of the usual FOMO tactics.
What really gets me excited? This feels like the devs actually listened to the community for once. Sengoku warriors have been stuck in this weird spot for ages, not quite fitting into the current meta. But with Ascent Skills and a full rework? We might actually see some diversity in endgame parties again. Fingers crossed they didn't break anything in the process.
