Relay Quest

Relay Quests (or Relation Quest in the JP Version), or a new type of limited-time quest. While many of the previous Limited-Time Quests only feature weekly changes in enemies or terrain, this quest type will change significantly over the span of its time limit. This quest type is designed to have substantial changes in content and number of participants every 2 days. The N-Weapons Badge C that drop in these quests can be exchanged for items like N-Master Cubes and C/Giga Triyal. You can also earn Seasonal Points!

Leciel Exploration

This content offers a different player ability buff system and quest challenges than the previous Leciel Exploration quest. More details will be provided in the next Headline.

Multi-Weapons can be crafted using items from different series
But I can't tell if those sold in the Player Shop were using Multi-Weapon Substitutes.

They are working on improving the display so that the names of items registered under a Multi-Weapon will appear in the 2nd Tab of the Multi-Weapon item details.

There have been notable instances of players who don't use M.A.r.S. being stronger than those that do. Are there plans to strengthen M.A.R.S.?

The plan for M.A.R.S. balance adjustment is to ensure the power of M.A.R.S. is higher than that of players in general while avoiding having it overpowered where it reduces player options. Therefore, they currently do not plan to adjust the power of M.A.R.S. to significantly exceed the abilities of the average player. However, they will be monitoring its power regularly, so that the class balance adjustments and equipment upgrades for players do not make M.A.R.S. comparatively weaker.

Region mags rarely activate because they are dependent on how active the region is.

They plan to reduce the number of items required to activate the Region Mag boosts. Please wait a little longer as they continue to review the Region Mag effects and their duration.
