■NEW RUNNER: MAGUS joins the fray!

MAGUS joins SEASON 2 ACT: 1! This Trickster-type uses her boomerang, the Arc Blade, to teleport and surprise her enemies.

■NEW STAGE: Six Star City

Season 2 ACT: 1 also features a brand new stage: Six Star City.
The “Heart of Asia” is a complex web of buildings and alleys, while the outside perimeter features more open space terrain.
Additionally, players begin the battle in close proximity to each other, making Six Star City a stage perfect for melee attacks!

■NEW SUB WEAPON: Homing Stars

Introducing the new throwable Sub Weapon: Homing Stars
Three shuriken can be thrown at once, locking onto their target. While there is a limit to the number of times they can be used, this sub weapon deals high damage when thrown in succession.

[h2]■New Runner Pass & Battle Pass Updates[/h2]
In this update, the 'MAGUS' Runner Pass, along with the updated 'SEASON 2 ACT: 1' Battle Pass, is available.

Runner Pass


By gaining XP and increasing your level, you can unlock new Runners & Sub Weapons, as well as earn various rewards. This pass has no time limit, so choose any Runner Pass you like. The MAGUS Runner Pass has been added in this update.

Battle Pass


Similar to the Runner Pass, this is a feature that allows you to earn rewards through XP. However, the Battle Pass is a limited time pass, so be sure to take note of the end date and time as you progress.

*Note: The items obtained through the Battle Pass can generally only be acquired during that Battle Pass period, with no plans to make them available after the event ends.
