[h2]Shop Update[/h2]

[h3]New Transcendence Weapon Promotion (10/6 - 11/3)[/h3]During the event, the drop rate of the new transcendence weapon, Failnaught, from Transcendence Decoders and Transcendence Premium Decoders is three times higher!

Decoder Drop Rates
  • Transcendence Premium Decoders: Failnaught 3%
  • Transcendence Decoders: Failnaught 0.45%
Failnaught
  • Type: Rifle
  • Description: Failnaught, which fires 150 holy arrows, automatically aims enemies within a certain range of the crosshairs when using the default firing mode. (Does not auto-aim if beyond the range.) Hitting the same enemy with the default firing mode stacks a mark, inflicting additional damage each time it stacks. Upon reaching 5 stacks, damage is transferred to nearby enemies and the stacks are reset. While charging up, the Hunter's Eye activates, allowing you to learn the location of enemies within a certain distance and attack through obstacles. The default firing mode's auto-aim and stack effects, as well as the Hunter's Eye, will not be triggered in specific modes (Zombie/Human Scenario, Zombie Shelter, or Zombie Giant).
  • Taking a body hit with Failnaught's charged shot temporarily inhibits natural recovery.


[h3]New Transcendence Class Promotion (10/6 - 11/3)[/h3]During the event, the drop rate of the two new transcendence classes (Ismael and Ethan) from Class Decoders and Premium Class Decoders is four times higher!

Decoder Drop Rates
  • Premium Class Decoder: Ismael and Ethan are each 2%
  • Class Decoder: Ismael and Ethan are each 0.5%
Ismael
  • A human-vampire hybrid, born into a noble family, she has lived her life suffering from discrimination and neglect because of her mixed blood. Her pride as nobility has become a twisted defense mechanism that leads her to sneer at everything. While she appears human, her vampiric blood gives her great physical abilities. She is the sole survivor of her family. Her parents were executed by the inquisitors when the townsfolk sold them out. She has joined a hunter's guild who highly value her abilities, making a living killing those who could be her brothers or sisters.
  • Paired Effect: The maximum amount of penetration for Failnaught's charged shot increases.
  • Exclusive Skill: Feast of Blood - In Zombie Scenario, she can use this skill to increase the attack power of herself and allies by 30% for 10 seconds, while restoring her HP for 1% of the damage she deals. Infinite Ammo effect is applied during the duration of this buff (herself and allies). Allies within a certain distance get the buff, but the HP restoring skill is only applied to herself.
Ethan
  • An inquisitor who eliminates evil and strives to do good. He has eliminated numerous villains, as if to prove actions are worth more than words. His calm voice and handsome appearance have made him very popular. While he looks calm and gentle on the outside, he loses his cool if he makes a mistake or faces an unexpected situation. He has troubled feelings towards Ismael, who has vampire blood despite being a hunter. He watches her closely, waiting for the moment she proves herself evil.
  • Paired Effect: The explosion damage for Failnaught's charged shot increases.
  • Exclusive Skill: Barrier - In Zombie Scenario, he can use this skill to create a barrier in front of him. He creates a shield for the himself and allies within certain distance, and slows the movement speed of monsters who pass through the barrier.
Ismael / Ethan Common Applications
  • Transcendence Class exclusive voices are applied.
  • Paired Weapon: Failnaught
  • +10% EXP/Points
  • In Zombie Scenario mode, this character has a higher max level than normal classes.
  • Adds 1 initial mutation in Zombie Z Mode.
  • Displays your current damage at the bottom of the screen.
  • Upon killing an enemy, leaves a unique mark at the target location.
