Has there been a change to Legendaries?

[Leode]

I notice my characters have a Legendary Dismantle button with 18 days left.

Has something hanged with the system? (as of 11 Nov 2023)

Usually they give out free legendary dismantles with new changes / season buffs / character overhauls. Example: They did the same when they capped Hew Maans ability.

Every season gives you a free full dismantle for the season champions and a free legendary dismantle for everyone else.

Note that as dismantle system was introduced prior to pigments, it (unlogically) didn't apply to them (for legendaries dismantle, I never tried with a full dismantle).

IIRC, full dismantle works for pigments.

[adeyke]

Legendary dismantle is what it says on the tin. It doesn't affect anything other than legendaries.

The full dismantle definitely does work on pigments.

I said unlogically because the legendary dismantling was introduced to allow to don't lose power when switching from a champion to another due to season change (let's forget the champions are unbalanced and unequal, it's just the purpose her). Later, they added pigment as a new way of itemisation, but they didn't added them to (legendaries) dismantle so you may be screwed if you put pigment on a champion you won't use anymore (luckily not screwed so much because pigment are a relatively tiny source of power overall) ; it's just an odd in between situation to not have adding them to legendary dismantle too when they added them to the game.

I only say that if by chance (one on a million?), they decide to read the forum for a time and tell the dev team about that.

For a week before her release, CNE's official blog for Jang Sao had a 100% multiplicative boost to her main buff for every pigment in the formation.

As you can imagine, this had people up in arms about the creation of a character that gave you legendary-level boosts if you'd stacked up on those P2W pigments.

However, when Jang Sao was released, it had miraculously changed to a not-so-legendary 10% multiplicative boost.

So, the question is: was the blog incompetently wrong from the start, or was the 100% value originally correct (until there was yet more negative feedback) and it was supposed to make everyone fall over themselves fomo-ing the emergences and bonus tracks?

Probably the latter.
