Trainers and Survivors will not be used directly as components for Level-up and Rush/Active upgrades or Combat anymore. Although they will retain the same names (Burt, Lilith, Ulyssess, etc…), they will be transformed into Trainer Tokens (stackable) and sent to the Inventory - General tab. Trainer Tokens are a new type of item that will be used in progressing characters levels with XP as well as to progress their Rush and Active Skills via a new interface. Also, Trainers will not not occupy Roster Space anymore! Existing Trainer Characters will be automatically converted into their Token version (if they're being used in Teams they will be converted after they leave the Team).

If a player earns Trainer Tokens, in most cases those Trainer Tokens are placed in an inbox message in the rewards tab. The inbox message has a countdown timer on it, once the timer expires, the message gets deleted and the tokens within it are lost. If the player gets a token reward that partially exceeds the token cap, the excess is placed in the inbox as a message.

If the tokens are claimed from the inbox message but the quantity will go over the cap, a warning message is displayed telling the player they will lose the excess if they proceed.

Low-rank or fodder characters will be able to be converted to Basic XP Trainer Tokens. Players will be able to go to their Training Camps to convert Characters into Basic Trainers. Each conversion is made via a Conversion Recipe.

Trainer Camps, regardless of level, will have an extra screen that allows players to convert characters into trainer tokens. Trainer conversion does not take time but the “Train” button is unavailable on a camp when it is being upgraded.

We will use Special Trainer Tokens (either a Lilith-equivalent or a Ulysses-equivalent) to upgrade AR and AS exclusively. Each upgrade provides players with a single new level on their AR/AS.

There will be a big makeover of the Roster visuals. We are also removing several buttons, clearing up the bottom part of the screen and adding a more helpful Filters bar.
Players will be able to set quick filters to sort characters more efficiently. Players will be able to type the character name they are looking for.
We are also adding a more intuitive view to Advanced Filters, with sorting options such as Name, Level, Rarity, Attack/Defense/HP. Rarity/Tier, Level, Character Power, Alphabetically, but also Leader, Trait and Role. We will have special toggles for Teams and for Stacking Similar characters.There will be a big makeover of the Roster visuals.

The Character Dossier is heavily modified to accommodate new functionalities and visual improvements.
Contents:
- An Ascension button will serve as a shortcut to Ascension.
- The View Max button is going to show players a preview of the maximum power their characters may achieve.
- Graphic changes for Name and Title, Rarity, Level/Tier and Trait/Role/Persona.

Players will now be able to level up many more levels as there will be no restriction on selecting 10 characters to be consumed at a time. Trainer tokens can be consumed in bulk.
Players can quickly interact with the new screen by stating how many levels they want to upgrade, the game will automatically select Trainer Tokens to use, but the player can also manually assign or tweak this selection. Players will have more control over how they level up their characters.

Talents are the new method for players to upgrade their character skills such as Adrenaline Rushes and Active Skills. Higher character tiers will open more Talent options to the players.
The "Talents" tab is accessible through the character dossier page. This will have nodes with three different states: Locked, Available and Maxed.
