Arkuma Land Moves To Planet Lillipa

Ricardo 3 Comments

~ July 11th, 2018 ~

 

Sand Park Arkuma Land

After spending several weeks in the sky, we shift over to the sands below. The second half of the 6th Anniversary Event transports us to the Quarry of Planet Lillipa. Here in Sand Park Arkuma Land, we'll encounter Mechs, Demons, and Phantoms, with a special guest appearance from Omega Apprezina! Defeat her for the chance to receive the ★14 Twin Daggers [Appress Grudge Omega].

Summoners are also in for a special treat, as Popple, Aero, and Jinga's ★14 eggs have a chance to drop in this quest.

Similar to the previous quest, players who wear specific costumes will be granted with a PSE effect that slightly boosts the EXP and Rare Drop Rate.

 

Exchange Shop Lineup Adjustment

Certain products in the 6th Anniversary Exchange Shop will be replaced with new items.

Product Changes Include:

  • 420 Yui & Shaku 2 ⟹ 421 Yui & Shaku 3
  • Mr. Arkuma ⟹ Ms. Arkumami
  • Sub Arm Sword L ⟹ Sub Arm Sword R

 

AC Scratch (Battle Line Clash)

Ahead of Border Break's PS4 release is a collaboration scratch filled with costumes, camos, and cast parts! Dress up like Hati and her mech [Bright Star Type-0] as you pulverize enemies with their signature weapon ＊CE-Kutune Shirka! Other items outside of the collaboration will cover colorful punk inspired Japanese outfits, and Black Knight themed layered wear.

 

ハティ・レプカ | Hati Repca
輝星・空式・レプカ | Bright Star Type-0 Repca
＊CE-クトネシリカ | ＊CE-Kutune Shirka
＊スムレラ投射長銃・刻 | ＊Sumrera

July 7th Stream

Sand Park Arkuma Land (July 11th ~ July 25th)

  • Enemies mainly weak to Fire

      • Factor: S3:Immediate Profusion
      • Potential is the same as the Old Type

Apprentice Emergency Quest (8 Players)

  • You must protect the particle cannon or you'll fail.
  • In the latter half, when you switch to Luther Form, if you die, you'll automatically revive after some time.
  • You'll have a better shot at getting Phobos series in this quest.

EP5 Side Story [My Hero]

  • Mainly deals with Stratos
  • It's sort of like EP1 Battle Tournament.

Bringer Rifle

  • With the potential, using the weapon action stocks 6 bullets, and the normal attack becomes powerful.

★13 Allure Series

  • Its potential deals with the Apprentice Dark Blast Form.

Lumiere Series

  • They plan to have an upgrade for the Lumiere Series in the future.

OT Austere Upgrade

  • Yes there's going to be a method to upgrade the OT Austere

It could be quite hectic at the beginning of the month to participate in PSO2 day! Can you add extra days for it, like on the 12th or the 22nd?

  • In the future, we plan to give a PSO2 Day equivalent boost on the "22nd" for Premium Set users. However, we have not come to a decision if Arks Rappies will appear.

Will we be able to obtain the [Dia] series outside of Driving Rain?

  • It's going to be a bit further ahead, but we're planning another opportunity to re-obtain them.

Will Dark Empe Rappy and SOROKING D appear outside the story?

  • We have plans to implement Dark Empe Rappy, but SOROKING D is not currently scheduled to appear. It seems, however, this character is pretty popular, so maybe it could come at some point?

What does the "EV" special ability stand for?

  • Evolve

Lostbob's Question:
Are we getting Nyau Suit Mini and Kakwane Suit Mini?

  • Unfortunately, we currently don't have plans for a Kakwane Suit Mini.
  • However, you can expect to see a Nyau Suit Mini down the road.
