The following content will be available in the 10/18 (Thu) 5:00 PM (PDT) update.
We've also prepared a patch notes video with details on the update, which you can find in a separate notice. [Go Now]
[h3]▣ New Character[/h3]
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
A new soldier, Bard, has arrived on the battlefield!
Bard is a support soldier who plays music that grants nearby allies 'Resilience.'
1) How to Obtain

(If you already purchased a Premium World Pass, you can get a Bard character from mailbox.)

To start the quest, click the Start Quest button from Barracks > Bard > Start Quest.
2) New Skills ■ Basic Attacks

- Enhanced Resilience: Attack enemies to enhance Resilience.
- Groove Gauge: Increases while maintaining Melody of Resilience or with successful attacks. Use Killer Solo when the gauge is full.

[h3]▣ Ranked Battles[/h3]
The PRE-SEASON Ranked Battles have begun!
You can earn rewards in the next season based on your final rank at the end of the active season!
※ Ranked Battles include the 12 vs. 12 game modes Dominion, Arms Race, and Onslaught. Team Deathmatch and Reclamation, the 6v6 modes, are not currently being considered for Ranked Battle.
- Unlocked from account level 30.
- Participate in Ranked Battles alone or in parties of 2.
- Limit rank differences between party members based on who has the highest rank in the party.
: Gold and below allow up to a 2-rank difference, Platinum and above allow up to a 1-rank difference.
> (Example) Gold, Bronze parties: Yes
> (Example) Platinum, Silver Party: No
- Claim victory in 3 Ranked Battles or have 10 losses/draws to view your rank.
- If you desert a Ranked Battle without finishing it, you will lose more rank points than a normal loss.
Ι DEV comments: We recognize that Ranked battle matchmaking can be difficult for players who rise quickly in rank early in the season, so we don't set rank limits on Ranked battle matches for smoother matchmaking.
There are no Rank restrictions, but we will match players with similar Matchmaking Scores (MMR) whenever possible. Depending on the distribution of people by Rank, we may add Rank difference restrictions in the future.
Instead, we limit a few things to bridge the gap between the two teams.
- Limit party size to 2 players
- Limit rank differences between party members
- Limit the difference in the number of parties between the two teams to no more than one
Because we believe parties have a significant impact on team strength, we plan to run this PRE-SEASON with restrictions on parties in Ranked Battle matches. We'll monitor the progress of the PRE-SEASON and make improvements in future seasons.
[h3]▣ Emblems[/h3]
Emblems, additional customization options alongside outfit skins, are now available!
Add emblems onto your outfits to customize your appearance.
