  • *Technically it should be [Aks Rappy] but it sounds silly.

Favorite Songs

  • Nicolas and Director Hamasaki's favorite song is Las Vegas Night
  • Ichitaro likes Big Vardha

Multi-Block Matching

  • This will take some time but they're thinking about having a feature where you log into blocks that support multi-block matching.  (This would prevent the case where people log into beginner blocks and wonder why the MPA isn't filling.) They also want to make it apparent when you're in a block that supports multi-block matching.

Tread Through the Wastelands in Buster Quest's Newest Field

~ September 6th ~

New Buster Quest Field

The Buster Quest campaign advances towards a new field. Characterized by its depauperate terrain, the Wastelands presents several new enemies that appear on [Grade 3] and [Advanced].

 

Devil Castle ・ Misil Ghasud

Field sightings confirm the presence of yet another Devil Castle. Initial analysis reveals the structure can strengthen its nearby allies and has the power to launch missiles from its back.

 

Resta Golem

Reports indicate the appearance of a creature constituted by vegetation. This hostile must be taken down swiftly, due to its ability to restore extensive amounts of health to demons in close proximity.

 

Omega Salamander

This amphibious demon appears to ignite itself. Keep your distance, lest you be caught in the blaze. Take heed of its fiery breath attack as well. Wait for the flames to dissipate from its skin, then strike!

 

Wolf Foie

A conflagrant wolf whose bodily flames can scorch any hapless individuals who wander too close.

 

Cleasis Series Upgrade

Hand over your old Cleasis weapons and convert them into the Schvelle series! In order to upgrade, you'll need a Cleasis weapon and several Schvelle Boosters.

 

EP5 Chapter 2: Part 1

Harriet's ascent to the throne restores stability to Kingdom Cuent. Still, reports indicate that a Devil Castle has surfaced along the border with the Verunian Empire. A lone young woman by the name of Melfonseana confronts the castle. Our protagonist sets off for the empire at her behest, wherein they encounter Gettemhult amidst combat.

Emperor Schlegger Verun and his brother Elmir rule the barren land of Verunian, whose people suffer under poverty.
