Princess Connect! Re: Dive Kicks off Halloween Early with Kyoka (Halloween)!

Heyas, Knights - merry spookymas! That’s right - we’re kicking off Halloween early in Astraea, with new Halloween-themed characters and events headed your way. After all, it’s not Halloween without a little bit of a scare - and what could be more scary than thinking you misread your calendar?

 

(For the record, we did not mis-read our calendar. The schedule just has these events lined up for now. Enjoy an early Halloween, Knights!)

 

 

Little Lyrical’s getting all geared up to go trick-or-treating (more on that in a bit), and that means that the guild members are getting dressed up in new outfits and costumes for the occasion! To kick things off, we’ve got Kyoka (Halloween), a brand new limited 3★ character to fit the spooky mood. Don’t let her size fool you - Kyoka’s always been known for her magical damage output, and Kyoka (Halloween) kicks it into overdrive with skills and a Union Burst that focuses entirely on raw, unadulterated magic output. Spooky indeed.

 

If you were around last year for our Halloween-themed festivities, you know that these Halloween-themed characters are limited characters, which means that they’re only included in their Focus Gacha/the main Premium Gacha rotation while their Focus Gacha is live. However, you’ll be able to redeem Kyoka (Halloween) with character points if necessary, and she’ll enjoy increased draw rates when performing draws on her Focus Gacha. After that’s over, though, your opportunity will pass - all tricks, no treat.

 

The Kyoka (Halloween) Focus Gacha runs for 11 days, from 9/1, 23:00 UTC to 9/12, 22:59 UTC.

 

 

Speaking of limited characters - if you missed your chance to nab some of last year’s exclusive Halloween characters, we’ve got you covered! After the Kyoka (Halloween) Focus Gacha ends, we’ll be running a Prize Gacha dedicated to Shinobu (Halloween) and Misaki (Halloween), last year’s Gacha-exclusive Halloween characters.

 

During the Prize Gacha, you’ll be able to pick one of the two characters, and you’ll receive extra random goodies when performing draws on the Prize Gacha, including Divine Amulets, Memory Shards of the chosen character, and plenty of other rewards. The characters themselves will also enjoy boosted draw rates, making this the perfect opportunity to pick up any character you missed out on last year, or nab extra Memory Shards for them. In fact, it’ll be your only opportunity to grab these characters for a good while - so mark your calendars accordingly!

 

The Shinobu (Halloween) and Misaki (Halloween) Prize Gacha runs for five days, from 9/12, 23:00 UTC to 9/17, 22:59 UTC.

 

 

Trick-or-treat! Rumor has it that there’s candy up for grabs. Only catch? You’ve gotta brave a haunted mansion to obtain it. But Little Lyrical is a group of brave adventurers that in no way shape or form will be scared of the spooky horrors within said mansion, right? (They will be scared of at least one ghost.)

 

Speaking of trick or treat - in this event, you can get the best of both. First up you’re in for some tricks as this event features unique, exclusive boss battles, where you can test your skills in three varying difficulties: Normal, Hard, and Very Hard. Very Hard is set to be the toughest of the bunch, and is only clearable once per day. If you’re craving even more of a challenge, we’ve also prepared another Special difficulty Boss, with unique challenges and mechanics that will challenge you in new ways across three different modes. Of course, for each boss you best, you’ll earn rewarding treats for your troubles, such as Victory Medals, equipment, and more. 

 

In order to fight the bosses, though, you’ll need to spend Boss Tickets. These Boss Tickets can be obtained by clearing event stages, as well as from login bonuses while the event is active. If you don’t successfully defeat a boss on your first attempt, don’t sweat it - you can retry as many times as necessary, and non-lethal damage dealt to a Boss carries over between attempts.

 

 

Misogi (Halloween) is all decked out for Halloween. Not only is she ready to collect treats but she’s also got some tricks up her sleeves. You’ll be in for an explosive surprise when her Jack-o-lanterns show up. During the story event period, you’ll be able to obtain an exclusive free unit in Misogi (Halloween) after defeating the boss on Normal difficulty. Make sure to gather some treats with Misogi (Halloween) before the Halloween costumes are put away. 

 

 

Just when you thought we were all out of treats, we’re also increasing the experience gain rates for completing Event Quests. During the event, clearing Event Quests will give 1.5x times the normal experience, in addition to the normal Mana, items, and Boss Tickets that these quests give out.  

 

The Victory Medal Gacha also makes its splash for the event! Clearing event stages, event missions, and defeating the previously mentioned bosses will earn you Victory Medals, which can be exchanged for a plethora of goodies. There’s a predetermined series of reward lineups, each featuring a key reward - once you roll the current lineup’s key reward, you’ll have the opportunity to either reset the rewards and move ahead to the next lineup, or hold off on resetting to clear out all the possible rewards. Here are the key rewards you should look out for!

 

• Lineup 1: Kyoka’s Memory Shard x 20
• Lineup 2: Misogi (Halloween)’s Memory Shard x 25
• Lineup 3: Kyoka‘s Memory Shard x 30
• Lineup 4: Misogi (Halloween)’s Memory Shard x 40

 

Just remember - once you’ve gone through the four initial lineups, you won’t be able to reset the active lineup until you’ve obtained all the possible rewards from the current active lineup.

 

The Little Brave Halloween Night! story event will be available from 9/1, 23:00 UTC to 9/15, 22:59 UTC.

 

 

September is here and it’s time for another content update. Start wading your way through Diestal Ravine (North), featuring new enemies, new challenges, and new rewards for your troubles. Here, you'll find new equipment that can raise your characters to a maximum of 3 equips at rank 15, as well as new Hard Quest nodes for Misaki, Yuki, and Kuka (Oedo). Making your way through Area 28 will also unlock up to Episode 4 of Chapter 14 of the Main Story.

 

We'll also be increasing the level cap from 142 to 145. The Halloween fun continues with all this new content coming, so you’ll want to start saving up Mana and EXP potions as soon as possible! In addition, new BGM will be added to the Memorial Jukebox for further customization.

 

The September Level Cap and Character Equipment Cap lands on 9/8 at 13:00 UTC. Area 28 and the related story will also be ready to go on 9/8 at 13:00 UTC.

 

 

We’re happy to announce a new 6★ ascension. This time, Rino takes center stage as she covers the skies with her arrows. You will be able to obtain Rino’s Pure Memory Shards by completing Very Hard stage 19-1. Recall that you will also need Princess Orbs from the Temple Trek in order to ascend your character.  *Note* This process cannot be reversed. 

 

Very Hard Main Quest stage 19-1 and 6★ ascension for Rino will be unlocked on 9/1 at 9:00 UTC.

 

 

We have one extra treat to end off our Halloween-themed game content update. Misaki (Halloween), Miyako (Halloween), and Shinobu (Halloween) will be receiving their Unique Equipment. The new Unique Equipment for the previous set of Halloween-themed limited characters will be released on 9/12 at 9:00 UTC. 

 

 

It’s time to decorate your guildhouse for the changing season. Work your creative magic with colors that match the falling leaves. With the inclusion of new and returning furniture, you’ll be sure to impress your guests with your decorative prowess.

 

This limited-time furniture set will be available starting from 9/1, 23:00 UTC to deck out your guildhouse for Autumn. This furniture set will only be available until 10/2, 22:59 UTC, so be sure to mark down the date. The newest additions to the Autumn themed furniture set are as follows:

We’re back with another “grot-two”. Get ready to grab all the Mana and EXP Potions you can since you’ll be receiving double the Mana and double the EXP Potions when completing Grotto Quests during the Grotto Quest Double Drop Campaign. 

 

The Grotto Quest Double Drop Campaign runs for 7 days from 9/3, 13:00 UTC to 9/10, 12:59 UTC.

 

Just in time for the latest content update, we’re also bringing double drops into Normal Quests. During the campaign period, you will obtain double the equipment, Mana, and other items when completing Normal Quests. Talk about a great way to stock up on new equipment!

 

The Normal Quest Double Drop Campaign runs for 5 days, from 9/7, 13:00 UTC to 9/12, 12:59 UTC.

 

 

To help prepare for 6★ ascensions and Unique Equipment, the Sanctum Survey & Temple Trek Double Drop Campaign is making a return. You’ll be getting double the Princess Hearts, Princess Orbs, and other items when completing Sanctum Survey or Temple Trek stages during the campaign period. 

 

The Sanctum Survey & Temple Trek Double Drop Campaign runs for 6 days from 9/10, 13:00 UTC to 9/16, 12:59 UTC.

 

 

Double drops will then make their way into the Dungeon. We know you’re excited to collect more Mana so during the Dungeon Double Drop Campaign clearing Dungeon floors will give double the usual Mana. 

 

The Dungeon Double Drop Campaign runs for 8 days, from 9/14, 13:00 UTC to 9/22, 12:59 UTC.

 

 

For easy reading and accessibility, included below is a summarized version of all the updates announced today. Thank you for playing Princess Connect! Re: Dive, Knights! These special promotions wouldn’t be available without all of your support. We hope you continue to enjoy Princess Connect! Re: Dive!
