Princess Connect! Re: Dive Sparkles in Chieru-speak!

Heyas, Knights! Is everyone enjoying their time with the Friendship Club in the current story event? We’ve got one more member of the Friendship Club to introduce to the game, as well as plenty of new story events and the March content drop to talk about. Let’s get talking! 

 

Princess Connect! Re: Dive

 

Cheru~n! The final member of the Friendship Club, Chieru, is making her grand appearance! Much like her lexicon and personality, Chieru pulls no punches when it comes to making an impact on the battlefield, with skills that buff her physical damage output and action speed the more critical hits she makes. Inflicting collateral damage is basically Chieru’s bread and butter anyway, so you can expect great things from her in a medium where damage is actually more directly well received. 

 

The Chieru Focus Gacha runs for 9 days, from 3/19, 23:00 UTC to 3/28, 22:59 UTC. As a non-limited character, she’ll be added to the Premium Gacha rotation after her Focus Gacha ends, but this will be your best chance to recruit her otherwise!

 

 

Don’t let anyone say otherwise: March is peak scary season. To celebrate, we’re bringing back an on-brand seasonal character, Kyoka (Halloween)! She’ll be receiving a Prize Gacha dedicated to herself in her frightening attire, which makes this a great opportunity to obtain extra resources, including Memory Shards for Kyoka (Halloween), too! Since there’s only one character in the spotlight this time for the Prize Gacha, every draw that you perform will automatically give Kyoka-themed bonus resources.

 

The Kyoka (Halloween) Prize Gacha runs for five days, from 3/28, 23:00 UTC to 4/2, 22:59 UTC. 

 

 

Hot off the heels of the Anne and Grea Prize Gacha is a revival story event of The Twin Flowers of Astrum! This exclusive crossover story event is coming back, with updated rewards, bosses, and plenty more. If you missed out on the story event during its first time around, what better way to enjoy it again than during this revival period? Plus, you’ll learn more about Anne, Grea, and the magic that makes them sparkle. As such, if you’re new to the game, this revival event is a can’t miss opportunity.

 

 

Whether you are here to read the story for the first time or to experience it all over again, you’ll be in for a delight. Not to mention, you’ll be able to recruit the event-exclusive character Lou by playing the event if you haven’t recruited her already! You’ll also be able to get 1.5x the usual Player EXP when completing Event Quests.

 

No matter where you land, you’re in for a good time as the Victory Medal Gacha lineup has also been revamped in our revival event. Take a look at the updated key rewards:

 

  • Lineup 1: 2 Sets of Io’s Memory Shards x 20
  • Lineup 2: 2 Sets of Lou’s Memory Shards x 20
  • Lineup 3: 2 Sets of Io’s Memory Shards x 20
  • Lineup 4: 2 Sets of Lou’s Memory Shards x 20

 

Get ready to meet some new friends again as the event will be live from 3/19, 23:00 UTC to 3/26, 22:59. 

 

 

Get ready for a new Side Story with Little Lyrical in the form of Little Lyrical Adventures! Side Stories are old story events that can now be completed at any time, and now the second of these stories will be available for Knights to complete at their leisure. Join this tiny guild as they go on a big adventure! 

 

Little Lyrical Adventures! will be available in Side Stories starting on 3/19 at 1PM UTC.

 

 

The thingie that you pour curry with is back with a vengeance. (Y’all read the PriConne! Re: Dive Manga, right?) This means it’s time for the limited-time challenge to make a return: the Tower of Luna opens its doors once again for challengers to climb! The supercharged dungeon is back and it has prepared a new set of 10 floors complete with unique monsters, Shadows, and a new set of bosses to beat, with bountiful rewards for your troubles. Don’t worry, your progress from the last Tower of Luna event is carried over and you can continue the ascent from the floor you left off. Remember, your party of characters can carry over between floors (assuming none of them hit 0 HP), and you can reset your characters to full HP once a day. Can you make the climb up to the 410th floor and complete the EX mission?

 

The Phantom Passage will also be making a stunning return. Once you complete the 410th floor, you’ll be able to attempt the Phantom Passage, a challenging floor you can complete daily for additional prizes. Bring on the challenge!

 

The Tower of Luna reopens its doors for seven days, from 3/19, 13:00 UTC to 3/24, 15:59 UTC. If you haven’t done so already, you’ll need to finish Main Story Quest 9-1 in order to access the Tower. We wish you the best of luck, adventurers!

 

 

Minotarurus is as mad as a raging bull and ready to stampede through your preparations. The Starbeast of Taurus is charging full speed ahead! Rally your allies, plan out your teams, and start practicing those timelines, because the March Clan Battle is coming soon! Work with the aid of your fellow clan members to take on monsters too powerful for adventurers to handle alone. The February Clan Battle features a gauntlet of five bosses, and you’ll be able to perform up to three clashes a day on whatever boss your clan’s currently on, earning a clash attempt for every 300 stamina spent. After the event is over, you’ll earn precious Memory Shards, Clan Coins, and Jewels, depending on how well your clan did! The reward structure is the same as before, but you’ll earn Suzume Memory Shards this time around.

 

The March Clan Battle is around for four days, from 3/27, 13:00 UTC to 3/31, 07:59 UTC. Make sure to get in those three hits a day!

 

 

We’re also releasing another new content update drop. First, continue cutting your way through Fascia Forest (East), 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 5 equips at rank 16, as well as new Hard Quest nodes for Aoi, Mahiru, and Chloe. Making your way through Area 33 will also unlock up to Episode 5 of Part 2 Chapter 2 of the Main Story. 

 

We’ll also be increasing the level cap from 157 to 160. With so much content coming out at once, 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.

 

If that alone wasn’t enough content, we’re also increasing the maximum level of your special guildhouse furniture. They will have their level limit increased from 16 to 17. Don’t forget to upgrade your special furniture, Knights!

 

The March content drop lands on 3/19 at 13:00 UTC.

To top off the end of March, we’re also announcing a slew of Double Drop Campaigns.
