Welcome to v8.6 "The Banquet Operative" (DEC 31 ~ MAR 5)!
Update Content
★ New IMG-type S-rank Battlesuit "Miss Espionage"
"Miss Espionage" is an IMG-type Lightning DMG dealer who wields a scythe and inflicts Paralyze Trauma. The perfect maid donned a new outfit, but she upholds the same promise on her new mission.
Rita is protected by the Astral Ring Specialization: Wheel of Destiny. She can enter a unique Stellar Surplus state. When the team's Astral Ring Intensity reaches its limit, additional Intensity gained will be converted into Surplus Intensity, which provides substantial buffs. During specific attacks, Rita can use her Weapon Skill "Replicate" to attack enemies with her Illusions.
