+8The Exquisite Collection event begins August 1 (Pixie-stated date), headlined by *Balmond Vulcan Lionheart — his Titan's Collector skin (now named by both Pixie and Kazuki), exchangeable for 720 crests (Pixie-stated cost)*. (This makes Balmond the first hero with two Collector skins, per the June roadmap.)



+3Sanrio collab is live Jun 5 → Jul 2 (~28 days). First 10 draws guarantee *Floryn Fluffy Dream; premium token supply Phase 1 Jun 12, Phase 2 Jun 19 (16 tokens/phase). (The earlier 29-token figure isn't repeated in either June video.)*



+17Skill 1 no longer reduces physical defense -- that shred now lives on Skill 2 (his spin), so every spin shreds defense. The Skill 2 movement-speed boost no longer decays over time, but its damage can no longer crit (no more Berserker's Fury build). His passive now heals 10% of max HP on a kill OR an assist (previously 20% on a kill only), helping him in team fights.
