What is on the Anime Zero [SHADOW MONARCH] 🦋👑 dated log?

1. Shadow Monarch update

   The experience title now includes Shadow Monarch. Guides dated October 8 report the Shadow Gate raid, the Shadow Monarch weapon with a three-stage Monarch Path, Igris as a summon, four accessory slots, and caps at 60% crit and 40% cooldown reduction. New code strings in that wave include 50KCCU, SORRYFORZEDELAY, UPDATETWO, and ARISE67. A games-record updated field of 2026-10-09 is a platform timestamp, not a patch note.

2. Difficulty rebalance and HxH material pass

   Enemy health scales at 0.85x Easy, 1.3x Normal, 1.6x Hard, and 2x Nightmare. HxH runs spawn 40, 51, 76, or 105 enemies by those difficulties, plus the boss. Materials drop from every enemy kill, each HxH act has its own drop list, and all 14 accessory craft costs were changed. Alucard skills 1 and 3 no longer fling or teleport you.

3. Synergies, guard bar, and material pity

   Six weapon pairs gained official bonuses, and any other pair was listed at +5% damage. Switching weapons grants +20% damage for 4 seconds. Perfect blocks spend no guard. Materials are guaranteed after 5 runs without the drop. The later pity line on this patch is Mythic 175, Arcane 250, and Zenless 2,750. LESSLAG shipped with the performance notes.

4. AFK rework and Miyabi pity correction

   Miyabi's Zenless pity was corrected from a mistaken 12,500 to 3,500, with code BIGTYPO for 100 Lucky Spins. A later note the same day lists Zenless pity at 2,750. AFK rates became 10 coins per second, 50 gems every 2 minutes, and 1 Lucky Spin every 15 minutes. Trait rerolls left the AFK room. Codes PATCHNOTE67 and SORRYXD67 were compensation strings.
