Omega Cockatrice Enters The Battle!

~ October 10th, 2018 ~

 

Enchanted Forest Update

The Enchanted Forest has been updated with even more enemies and bosses to entice players. Joining the fray this time is the fiendish fowl, Omega Cockatrice. Avert the gaze of its petrifying eyes and rout this foe for a chance at a ★13 Jutus weapon drop.

 

Omega Dourumble and their Toy Darker minions have come out to play as well. Put an end to Dourumble's childish antics for a shot at weapon drops of the ★14 [Boots of Djibril] or [Daggers of Djibril].

 

 

Trick or Treat 2018

The Halloween festivities will once again be held in the Quarry. Take on a spooktacular assortment of Darker and Mech enemies in this 8-player Emergency Quest. A dramatic overhaul has befallen the quest this year, with some enemies boasting higher HP. Along the quest you'll find seated turrets and energy tanks to blast enemies en masse.

 

At the end of the quest awaits a prefixed-named Zeta Guranz. You may even spot Empe Rappy or Izane Kazuchi as well. Put on your best Halloween themed ensemble during the quest to experience a PSE effect that slightly increases the Rare Drop and EXP rates.

 

The ★14 Uransara wand, first appearing in PSU, will also drop in this quest.

 

Double Dark Blast

The Double Dark Blast is here! This whimsical new form specializes in assailing groups of adversaries with a well-rounded set of PAs! Pound a mighty hammer into the ground with "Surprise Hammer," rapidly fire stars in a straight line with "Happy Bazooka," and transform into a speedy go-kart of destruction with "Waku Waku Go-Kart."

Let's not forget about the new skills. The [Delicious Lunch] skill recovers HP & PP as nearby enemies are defeated. [High Tension] provides a bonus to damage when attacks hit an enemy.
