Suikoden STAR LEAP released Ver. 1.2.0 after maintenance on October 7, 2026, 12:00–18:00 JST. It is a quality-of-life update: stamina caps go up, materials of higher quality work wherever a specific quality is asked for, and formation, gathering and option screens get shortcuts.
Stamina and Caps
| What | Natural recovery cap |
|---|---|
| Bounty stamina | 80 → 125 |
| Great Tree Blessings | 4 → 10 |
Materials
- Higher quality is accepted. Wherever a request asked for a material of a given quality, such as helping townspeople, strengthening weapons and crafting armor, a material of that quality or better now works.
- The list of obtainable materials shows how easy each quality is to gather.
- In hunting, after selecting a card and a beast you can tap the selected beast again to attack.
- The source-location dialog now jumps straight to Processing under Cooking, opens the buy and sell choice at the town’s trading post, and opens material gathering already set to the stage or Great Tree phase where the material drops.
Options
- Auto-claim reward notifications. Switch on the auto-claim for reward notifications under Options > Convenience, and login bonuses and donation box rewards are collected automatically when you reach the RPG screen.
- The option menu has been reorganized. The simplified background rendering setting moved from Rendering to Convenience.
Formations and Characters
- Nightmare Battlefield: when you pick a non-leader, characters of the leader’s class are listed first, and there is a new class filter. Bulk Auto-Formation can be set to change the priority class. It no longer changes equipment; a new Bulk Equip button does that instead. The earlier announcement said Bulk Auto-Formation would offer an equipment toggle, and that was wrong.
- Replays and detail logs from before the update can no longer be viewed in Nightmare Battlefield. The results list is still available.
- Battle preparation shows when an element matchup is unfavorable, and the character list shows current Lv. and the Lv. cap.
- Protagonist outfits that cannot be used in story formations are shown as unselectable when swapping.
- Some characters were rebalanced. The details are in the in-game notice.
Equipment Restrictions
- Accessories that raise damage with a specific element can now only be equipped by characters who use that element, which makes auto-equip more accurate. The protagonist is exempt.
- Armor named after the Speedy Tiger (迅虎) reduces Wind damage whatever the character’s element, so its Wind restriction was removed and every character can equip it.
Events and Modes
- Phantom Duel: after collecting idle-run rewards on the RPG screen, you can start again with the same settings.
- Tavern game room: the Chinchirorin animation can be skipped, and the room shows how-to-play hints.
- Event RPG: long-press a character icon on the enhancement screen to open the details.
- Kyoei Bounty (虚影討伐) scoring now rewards winning in few actions with an action-count bonus, and the display of event high scores changed.
- Preferential Tickets (優待切符) can be earned in ordinary bounties to make the event’s Kyoei Bounty easier to enter. The Event Bounty and the tickets started on October 7 as planned; the Preferential Bounty (優待討伐), which spends the tickets instead of stamina, is postponed while final adjustments are made.
Path of the Bold 3 Gacha Points
The exchange for Path of the Bold 3 Gacha Points closed on October 7 at 11:59:59, a day early, and the points were not converted. The exchange reopens after the October 8 02:00–03:00 JST maintenance and runs until October 8, 20:59:59 JST. The points convert after that.
