- Breakthrough requires one identical Prism Diamond Player Card as material.

: Event cards cannot be used as materials.

: Regular cards can only use Regular cards as materials.

: Theme cards can only use Theme cards as materials.

- Completing Level 1 Breakthrough grants various benefits.

- For Enhancement/Trait transfers, both the donor and recipient cards must have the same Breakthrough level.

: Example: A card with Level 1 Breakthrough can only transfer traits to another card with Level 1 Breakthrough.

- When trading a Theme Prism Diamond card, at least one Theme Prism Diamond card is guaranteed to appear.

■ In-Game Balance Adjustments

Thanks to feedback from Team Owners, several game balance adjustments have been made to enhance the gameplay experience.

1. In Simulation PVP/All-Star PVP, the probability of losing when there is a significant Team Strength difference has been reduced.

2. The likelihood of hitting a home run from the Contact Hot Zone has been reduced.

3. Players with low running ability stats will attempt tag-ups less frequently.

4. The probability of bad pitches occurring when a pitcher’s stamina decreases has been slightly increased. The chances of a hit-by-pitch or wild pitch during bad pitches have been reduced. The catcher’s blocking success rate has been increased.

5. Running Balance Adjustments:

- The lead distance for runners on second base has been decreased, reducing the success rate of steals to third base.

-  The acceleration weight and starting position for runners during steals have been adjusted, slightly lowering the success rate of steals to second base.

- The running speed to first base has been slightly reduced, decreasing the frequency of infield hits.

■ Other Improvements and Bug Fixes

1. [Player Records] The records for CPBL Monster Card Yuen-Wen Chen (2023) have been updated from 2021 → 2023.

2. [Team Strength] Fixed an issue where Team Strength was incorrectly displayed when switching leagues under specific conditions.

3. [Event Closure] The Scout PP Accumulation Event will end.

4. [Player Card/Theme Card] Resolved an issue where the Ultimate Trait area appeared locked when using the "Zoom" feature for Theme Cards.
