Event-related Characters' Special Ability!


If players are looking to be more efficient in the collection of event items, it is recommended to scout for a Hanami event-related SSR Helper Character from the Premium Gacha!

When the event-related SSR Helper Character is in the player's sortie during battle, a special effect that raises the number of event items obtained from the special quest map will be activated! It is important to note that helper characters with the special ability to earn bonus event items during the event period will have a red special effect (特効) symbol at the right side when viewing the card in full size.

The following are the helper characters that will be able to grant players with the special effect of earning bonus event items!



SSR「満開に咲く女王の笑顔 (Mankai ni Saku Joou no Egao)」クルル・ツェペシ 

「The Queen's Smile Blossoming in Full Bloom」SSR Krul Tepes (Grass Attribute)



SSR「桜吹雪のエピキュリアン(Sakura Fubuki no Epikyurian)」ルカル・ウェスカー

「Epicurean of the Cherry Blossom Blizzard」 SSR Lucal Wesker (Water Attribute)

Mechanics of Special Effect
The helper characters' special effect can only last during the event period, but will give an advantage to players during the event! Each character will increase the number of event items gained from the quest by obtaining an additional three event items!

For example, by including one helper character in the player's sortie, if each enemy dropped 5 event items, and if that item dropped three times; Next, here is how the efficiency of the Special Effect will drastically increase!
 * No Special Effect activated: 5 event items x 3 drops → 15 event items total
 * Special Effect activated (One Character): (5 event items + 3 bonus) x 3 drops → 24 event items total

By having both helper characters in the player's sortie, the bonus 3 event items effect will be doubled.

For example, by including both helper characters in the player's sortie, given the same conditions as above;
 * Special Effect activated (Two Characters): (5 event items + 3 bonus x 2) x 3 drops → 33 event items total

Even with more powerful cards, these helper cards will no doubt be an active part of your sortie!

Get the limited-edition characters and make a difference in your sortie now!
