Weekly hero's in place of monthly, is this correct or a typo?

Also regarding olympiad. Will you be able to buff outside olympiad prior to entry or is this only for the use of buff scrolls?

The Olympiad time changes, 5 matches per day, and weekly Heroes will NOT be included in our update. It has been delayed to a future update.

Yes it’s weekly now that’s why it’s only 5 games a day - and it is full buff outside of oly, So you’ll yet full buffs and sign. This is great idea because it will limit the farm that everyone does .. 

In case you are wondering why buff/potion use was implemented, please see the Dev's reasoning below:

"Olympiad is content where individual players compete, so the outcome depends highly on certain items that are allowed or certain classes that are advantageous in the game. We have been constantly balancing Olympiad for a long time while running the match in limited ways, but this cannot resolve the imbalance and it is now naturally settled in the game. To change this, we made changes to Olympiad by opening all environmental elements so that players can now be stronger as much as they prepare or invest in their characters. Therefore, the winning rate can be increased according to how players set their characters and the variety of buffs they prepare, regardless of class type."

Good Morning.

Can new SS be marketed by players? I have thousands of SSB to trade for the new SS, can I sell the new SS to other players?

Thank you for your attention.

Are mysterious soulshots tradeable with the new SS?

If so, which mysterious shots should we trade our Soulshot tickets from the event for? Which one is most worth it?

... Will I be able to sell the SS I exchange for the current SSB in Dimensional? It is important to know this before the upgrade; otherwise the damage will be huge!

The new soulshots/spiritshots are not tradable, sellable, or dimensional.

Will Kameal's get the skill to transform weapons like 2 Hand Sword to Ancient Sword for Doombringers and Sword to Rapier for Soul Hounds? Also will Arbaletster be using Crossbows or Bow?

Jin Kamael do not have the transform weapons skill from Live. The Arbalester class uses a Bow (no Crossbows).
