## Blooming pages

### **Regular**

Blooming pages contain stat upgrades in 3x3 panel format.

Each sword girl starts with one regular page, and 2 more pages can be unlocked through limit break. You spend a variety of materials to unlock the panel in each page.

After a page is fully upgraded, the highest tiered gifts that the sword girl prefers will be rewarded (x3 per page).

An indication on the top right shows how many panel there are in total and how many have been unlocked.

### **Extreme**

Extreme blooming pages are unlocked after all 3 regular blooming pages are unlocked and fully upgraded. Each sword girl has one extreme page.

These upgrades are noticeably stronger than the regular pages', but also require more late game materials (Mitama's teardrop).

Each panel here has 5 stages. Only unlocking all 5 stages counts towards fully upgrading the panel.

Extreme pages were designed to maintain balance between older units and newer ones. Thus, not all units in the game have an extreme page. More are added each month.
