🎁 Featured Character Benefits

How do characters become Featured?
If you have a total of 5 or more Rising characters selected in the [Monthly Rising] contest, Partner Creator eligibility is reviewed on the 1st of each month, and all characters of that creator will be promoted to Featured characters. All subsequently created characters will also become Featured characters and receive the same benefits.
