The official October update says Royal Counselor Justus became available in eligible States at 00:00 UTC on October 26, 2026. A former Solaris Dynasty minister, he once helped the princess establish a refuge and protect survivors; his new role is to support the city’s development.

A royal story becomes a city role
Rather than judging him by the immediate result of a major battle, Justus is interesting as a character built around accumulation. His story and his role both point towards the steady work of keeping a city running. The announcement does not list every eligible State, and players in the same country can be at different stages of progression.
Connecting daily activities and Expert growth
Community Expert resources connect Justus with existing systems including Dynasty Honor Chests and Pet Adventures. They describe Expert-related materials associated with activities such as Exploration rewards, beast rallies and Trek encounters. Individual skills must be unlocked or improved, and their effects, amounts and limits depend on the actual skill and character level shown in game.
That creates an appealing connection: familiar daily activities can contribute materials, which can then help Expert development. For someone already managing the Dawn Academy, this relationship says more than treating Justus as a single power number. The return will vary with participation, skills, progress and State eligibility.
Availability depends on your State
A community Expert guide updated its Justus entry on October 26, focusing on Expert materials and Pet Adventures. Other resources do not describe the unlocking stage in exactly the same way, so neither a particular hero generation nor a server age should be treated as guaranteed for every State. The official notice specifies eligible States; your own Expert screen and State announcements are the reliable reference.
He is not a universal answer that removes the need to choose. Expert development still takes time and relevant materials, while each player has a different roster, routine and goal. Looking at the activities you already do and the needs of your existing Experts gives his skills and upgrade conditions useful context.
The counselor who once helped survivors find shelter fits the story of rebuilding on the ice. His gameplay, meanwhile, draws Expert development back into the rhythm of everyday exploration. In States where he is not yet available, he remains a future addition; check the in-game notice for the actual timing.
