July 18th Update
Konami have announced new changes relating to how Dismantle Bonuses work when dismantling cards affected by Forbidden & Limited List updates. The following changes will go into effect from July 25th, 2025.
- Cards newly elegible for the Dismantle Bonus generated AFTER the Forbidden & Limited List Update notice is released will NOT BE ELEGIBLE for the Dismantle Bonus.
- When dismantling cards, if a player has both cards elegible for the Dismantle Bonus, and cards inelegible for the Dismantle Bonus, the cards elegible for the Dismantle Bonus will be dismantled first.
- Cards obtained from Packs following the Forbidden & Limited List Update notice are not elegible for the Dismantle Bonus.
UPDATE: Point 3 may be mistranslated in the English announcement, as players have spotted that other language announcements mention being elegible for the Dismantle Bonus if pulled from packs via Reddit.
What would this likely mean in practice?
- If Loading... was to be Forbidden on the next update, you would no longer be able to craft up to 3 copies in hopes of obtaining a Glossy / Royal Finish version for the extra Craft Bonus on top of the full refund.
- An Loading... crafted after the announcement of the Forbidden & Limited List is essentially treated as any other card you want to dismantle - worth the standard 10 Craft Points.
- If you did craft Loading... after the Forbidden & Limited List announcement, and you already had 1 copy in your collection, you would get the full 30 UR Craft Point refund for that first copy, and the standard 10 for the others. If you had 2 copies, you would get 60 UR Craft Points, etc.
