General Announcements

IDOLA Stream Recap

It’s time for another stream recap! This time the main topics were Chapter 4 of the story, new characters including Valentine Seasonals and Idola switching Development Studio.

 

EP2 Record 4: Clash

A new chapter in the EP2 saga starts with Record 4: Clash. We return to Aero to check on Mint and Clemens. But this reunion as per usual does not go down smoothly.

 

Main Update Changes

The patch coming on the 19th of January will contain the following changes:

  1. After completing EP2 Record 4: Clash the Hero / Heroine will go to Limit Break +2
  2. Melvi, Zola [EX] and Shannon [EX] will be added to the Permanent Character Pool. This includes the daily Free 10 Pull
  3. You can now pull 50x and 100x on the Arena Gacha Banner to speed up the pulling process.
  4. In Descent Quest on the lowest difficulty you can use a Support Partner and the required Team Score to participate has been lowered.
  5. Descent Medal rewards and mission rewards are increased.

 

Development Changes

New Main Developer

Starting from February 1st, 2021, Japanese developer Appci will take care of developing new content and running Idola. Sega will still stay the publisher and will still be monitoring the game. The main lead of Idola will now be Yoshioka Ken (not to be confused with PSO2’s YSOK).

 

Planned Changes

After announcing the developer changes, they laid out 6 major changes upcoming for Idola under their development:

  1. A new Radio Show called Popona Radio
  2. Improvement on various pieces of content
  3. Upwards revision for existing characters
  4. The Free Daily 10 Pull will be replaced to a 1 Pull, but will now contain Star Fes characters
  5. Increased Star Diamond gains
  6. A story content addition in each update

 

New Characters

Victoria’s closest bodyguard and caretaker, Matilda, is a feisty Lycan warrior. She seems to have a some sort of past with Lise.

 

Mirabel, Astraea’s Silent Aide
