The boost icon displays yellow for heroes who activate the Unique Tactic and gray for those who do not.
For example, if your current selection is a hero with the Unique Tactic “Increases Attack by 50% for heroes with the “Wei” Emblem,” the boost icon will display for heroes with the Wei Emblem.
We have adjusted the hero display order in the Hero List tab of the Status Menu. Also, it now shows the slot number of heroes in your Formation.

You can now check information on heroes you added to your Formation from the Formation tab in the Status Menu.
At the War Banner of the King, we have added an option to revert to the previous Formation after selecting “Enma’s Recommended Formation.”
