When salvaging Light Cones, the 4-star ones that have not been leveled up or Superimposed will automatically be included in the Salvage list.

A brand-new management tool will also be added to the title, allowing players to lock or unlock 4-star or rarer Light Cones in batches while Salvaging or inspecting them.

When Superimposing a Light Cone, players will automatically be able to unlock the 4-star Light Cones of the same name in their inventory that have not leveled up or Superimposed and quickly place them into the Superimposition interface.
