A new knight awakens—let the battle for Britannia begin.
Version 2.2 just dropped, October 7, 2026, and it brought a double-SSR banner designed to test the limits of both your patience and your credit card. With the long-awaited arrival of Lancelot ready to shake up the meta (and potentially send Ban packing into early retirement) alongside Elaine’s triumphant return, Britannia is about to get very chaotic.
Whether you're gearing up to conquer Act 17 or hunting for that elusive P10 endgame build, here is everything you need to know to survive the 2.2 banner madness and whip your roster into shape.

Lancelot Joins the Fray in Act 17
The crown jewel of the 2.2 update is, without a doubt, the arrival of Lancelot. As one of the most anticipated characters from the Four Knights of the Apocalypse era, his entry into the gacha pool brings a massive shift to team compositions and end-game boss melting.
Character Overview & Combat Style
- Four Knights Legacy: Lancelot steps into the arena with unique animations and fast-paced melee capabilities, tying directly into the brand-new event story and main quest lore.
- Boss-Melting Utility: His specialized burst windows and dynamic elemental scaling allow him to carve through high-tier raid targets, making him an immediate asset for tackling tougher end-game content.
However, his introduction hasn't come without community anxiety. Early theorycrafting and content creator breakdowns point toward a heavy risk of power-creeping Ban, a massive fan-favorite who has dominated team slots since launch. Seeing a pillar unit potentially pushed aside so quickly has left dedicated mains questioning the long-term pacing of the game's meta.
Summoning Strategies for Lancelot
- Weigh Your Pity: If you are sitting on a healthy stash of premium tickets, Lancelot offers incredible offensive utility for raid bosses and hard-hitting content.
- Meta Longevity: Watch out for early showcase videos before dumping all your resources, especially with major competitor titles lurking around the corner.
Elaine's Limited-Time Return
Meanwhile, Version 2.2 also welcomes Elaine back to the rotation. As a veteran wind-element core, Elaine continues to hold an irreplaceable tactical position across multiple abyss floors and specific raid bosses thanks to her stellar burst output and consistent wind elemental application.
For players who missed her during earlier banners, or those looking to further elevate their investment (such as chasing a P10 endgame build), this dedicated banner serves as a great opportunity for targeted reinforcement. While some veteran players expressed hope for other fan-favorite characters like Gowther to make an appearance, Elaine's high-tier value in mono-wind compositions or standard end-game setups makes her a worthwhile target.
Timespace Junction and Quality of Life Updates
Beyond the shiny new banners, Version 2.2 delivers major system updates to keep the grind fresh. The Timespace Junction gets a fresh injection of difficulty tiers, giving hyper-invested Lancelot and Elaine builds a proper testing ground. Coupled with revamped daily missions and streamlined reward structures for raid bosses, farming for upgrade materials feels noticeably less tedious.
