Drill: Enhanced Enemy Suppression &
Drill: Enhanced Enemy Suppression Series

Drill: Enhanced Enemy Suppression is a limited-time quest for solo players, where the enemies change daily. They designed this to have players test their strength after obtaining powerful equipment like the Tri Selio series. They've received request for content that matches player's skill levels, and the dev team is eager to explore new quest types. Thus, they've created a format that allows players to select a difficulty level and play solo.

In this quest, you can earn N-Weapons Badge A which can be traded in for Special Ability Capsules such as Lux Halphinale and Gran Gladia Soul.

Furthermore, the Drill: Enhanced Enemy Suppression Series that will be released the following week, is a limited-time quest where solo players can enjoy a series of battles against four boss enemies. This quest is more challenging than the Drill: Enhanced Enemy Suppression.

You can earn N-Weapons Badge A, items for upgrading equipment, and Weapon Camos such as ＊Curio Holy Ray. There's also a Title for completing it with S-Rank.

Balance Adjustment: M.A.R.S.

They've recognized that Hydra Termination is so powerful that when an enemy is down, it is hard to consider other player actions as viable options. The development teams strive to achieve a balanced environment where more actions are viable and will make adjustments, including nerfs and buffs in an early November update.

The power of Hydra Termination will be reduced to 75% of its current stats, however, it will still be effective for high damage when an enemy is down.

To make other actions more viable, they will implement buffs and power increases to other main armaments to enhance their strengths outside of downs.

They apologize for the inconvenience caused by this oversight.

Regarding the Line Strike Card Vouchers, the number of matches to reach the weekly limit is high, and matchmaking takes a long time depending on the time of day. Are there any plans on making it easier to get Card Scratch Vouchers?

As the focus has shifted from Rank Battles to Free Battles, they are working on confirming and verifying the overall relaxation of requirements by making vouchers available through Free Battles. However, since this involves adding rewards where there were none before, verification will take some time.

If rewards become available through Free Battles, they are considering making the number of vouchers obtained uniform regardless of match results. Please wait for further updates.

Capsules with Grand / Glan / Gran in their name and Fusia-Type Capsules are hard to obtain. Will you make more ways to acquire them?

They plan to increase opportunities to increase create and obtain powerful special ability capsules like Lux Halphinale and Glan Gigas Maste in future updates. They plan to also introduce variations with similar effects. So please look forward to more details in the future.

Could you make it possible to directly upgrade equipped items? When upgrading, equipped items do not appear in the options, leading to accidental upgrades of other items.

Equipment upgrades involve transforming an item into another item, resulting in significant data updates, and making it difficult to directly upgrade equipped items.

Instead, they plan to implement a feature that grays out equipped items in the upgrade options, reducing the risk of selecting other items. They apologize for the inconvenience until implementation, but please wait a little bit longer.
