Damn, I did not have a new alliance raid fight difficulty on my bingo card. That’s fantastic! 😮
Also so excited for more Hildibrandt. I hope this time they make his trial that’ll eventually happen available as part of the main selection though and give it an EX mode, that got them a lot of negative feedback last time on account of how fantastic the normal mode was.
