New Characters

1) Yanagi

➥ Rank: S-Rank
➥ Attribute: Lightning
➥ Specialty: Anomaly

In combat, she uses a combination of styles to take down enemies. Her Special Attack lets her attack enemies while changing her stance. Yanagi's available moves will change depending on her stance, and she'll also get different buffs.
These buffs remain in effect for some time after Yanagi switches stances. Also, after Yanagi switches her stance, every time she deals damage with a Basic Attack, her Anomaly Buildup increases.

When she unleashes her EX Special Attack, Yanagi enters Shinrabanshou state and switches her stance. She charges up and rushes in with a forward stab, followed by a powerful downward attack, dealing Electric damage.
If the target is under an Anomaly, Yanagi will trigger a special Disorder effect without removing the target's Anomaly while giving herself a buff.

2) Lighter

➥ Rank: S-Rank
➥ Attribute: Fire
➥ Specialty: Stun

Lighter faces his enemies head-on in close-range combat, and when his Morale is high enough,
the fifth hit of his Basic Attack sends him into an enhanced state.
In this state, he consumes Morale and increases his Impact to quickly stun his foes.
His attacks also reduce the target's Fire and Ice Resistance, and makes them stunned longer.

Also, when Lighter fights alongside teammates with the Attack Specialty or his Sons of Calydon friends, he allows his teammates to deal more Fire and Ice damage when he hits enemies.

New Bangboo

1) Baddieboo (A-Rank)

Baddieboo is an A-Rank Bangboo who uses rockets and Molotov Cocktails to deal fire damage with its Active Skill.

When teaming up with an Agent and activating a Chain Attack, Baddieboo leaps forward and shoots a rocket, dealing Fire damage in a large area ahead.

1) Knightboo (A-Rank Event Reward)

Knightboo can summon "stars" onto the battlefield. Collecting those stars restores Energy for agents. When activating a chain attack, Knightboo summons 3 rainbow ponies. The ponies trample enemies ahead, dealing Ether damage.

New Events

1) All-New Program

2) "Eh-Nah" Into Your Lap

3) TV Schedule (Themed Event)

In Version 1.3, our new stories will be available through the themed event "TV Schedule." This event has unique tokens which Proxies can earn from "Story Broadcast" and "Warm-Up Exercises," and then exchange them for rewards.

In Lighter's TV Schedule program, The Champion, not only can you find Lighter's story and stages
You can also check out the Special Play in which players can use Lighter across a series of horizontal battle stages.

4) Simulated Battle Trial (Permanent Game Mode)

By fighting battle after exhilarating battle, Proxies can steadily climb higher on the tower. The higher you climb, the shinier your medal gets.

The higher you climb, the tougher your opponents, and your Agents won't recover, until you complete the entire phase. For example. Agents will retain the amount of HP they had from the previous battle.
When an Agent falls in battle, Proxies can select a replacement from their reserves. As you keep going through the challenge, you'll unlock more Agents to choose from.

5) The Mystery of Apreggio Fault

This mode is split into 5 chapters. Each chapter has multiple floors of randomly generated areas waiting to be explored.

Proxies will encounter various events as they explore using the H.D.D. You can fight enemies by ramming their tiles, and defeat them by literally bumping into them with sufficient combat power!

There are both permanent and limited-time rewards. Besides Polychromes, Proxies can also get the new Bangboo, Knightboo.

6) Virtual Battlefield Mayhem

Proxies can engage in test battles, with different buffs for each stage. Notably, they're offering stages where you can test out the new agent Tsukishiro Yanagi. Utilizing specific buffs, Proxies can try soloing the stages with a single agent.

7) When Sandwiches Come A Knockin'

Word has it that the chef needs some help to host a special group of lucky customers. Lend a hand, and you might score a spot as a VVVIP customer at the store.

8) "Eh-Nah" Assistant Program

During this event, Proxies can visit different Bangboo each day to accept tasks. Take photos for the Bangboo and assist the coach in checking on the results of their training!

New Adjustments

1) San-Z Gadget Store

Sān-Z STUDIO is opening up in Lumina Square. They're stocking up on all the latest gadgets! If you see something you like, grab it and show off your latest finds on your Display Stand on the second floor of the video store.

2) Layout optimization of the Friends system

In Version 1.3, we optimized the layout of the Friends system, expanding the size of the namecard, and adding a section to display titles and badges.
Proxies will be able to get various titles from events and from Agent Trust. You can only equip one title. And as for these badges, you can earn them from various game modes and have multiple on display at once.

If you'd rather not show off any titles or badges, just change your title or toggle both off through your social settings.

3) Lots of Compendium layout optimization

Now, even if your Engagement is maxed out, you'll still see incomplete tasks marked out with a "Go To" button for easy access.

This update introduces a new interface and way to choose tasks, which refresh weekly. This update will drop on November 11th, a week after the new version is released.

The Challenge tab has been renamed to Combat for better clarity.

Optimized the interfaces, layouts, stores, and the claiming of rewards for Notorious Hunt, Shiyu Defense, and Hollow Zero.

There's also a new "Related Agent" feature for Expert Challenge, Notorious Hunt, and Routine Cleanup, where Proxies can now check Agents who need the materials and Disk Drives from each stage.

4) Quick Craft/Dismantle function

In the past, when you were short on materials, you could either craft with lower-level mats, dismantle more advanced ones, or use comprehensive ones to fill in the gaps. However, only materials one level lower were considered before.

With this update, the system now checks for materials across levels. You can skip slogging through multiple interfaces, crafting level by level, and instead get everything you need on a single pop-up window, provided you have enough necessary materials, of course.
So if you're running low on materials one level down, but have plenty of even lower-level materials, you can craft across levels, with a single action.

5) Craft more Advanced Tuning items

Proxies will be able to craft more advanced tuning items to get more advanced Drive Discs.

6) Optimized the Drive Disc dismantling experience

You can sort your Drive Discs when dismantling. Plus, the old "Select All" has been replaced by "Quick Select." Just a tap, and you can select all Drive Discs of a specific grade or all those marked as discarded.
Added a new "Details" button for dismantling Drive Discs and W-Engines, and the original "Filter" button is now an icon with text for better clarity.

7) Pin your favorite Agents and Bangboo

8) Drive Disc selection screen optimization

Now, you can view more sets at once.

Moreover, we've added quick access from the Drive Disc recommendations interface.
