Hello Commanders,
We would like to share the details for our upcoming update. Please note that during the server maintenance, you will not be able to access the game.
Maintenance Schedule: 2020/11/25 (TBD) UTC
Note: As this is advance notice, the content and/or schedule may be subject to change depending on the circumstances. We'll post a notice if there are any changes.
1. New Content: CRUX Ghost Fleet
A new type of fleet, which appears to be a CRUX fleet, has emerged in the galaxy. It is said that this fleet could not be damaged no matter how much the EMU's reinforcement attacks.
However, immediately after the warp, it's unprotected due to an overload condition, and it is a condition that cannot cause any damage to our humanity.
Accordingly, the EMU's named it 'CRUX Ghost Fleet' and decided to retreat using their overload condition, and for this purpose, a focus attack was requested.
Praying that the CRUX Ghost Fleet would retreat before it's out of defense.
You have to focus all your power to attack.
- CRUX Ghost Fleet is an immortal fleet.
- You can find and attack the CRUX Ghost Fleet on the galaxy map.
- A certain weakness may occur due to the warp sequelae. Use the weak points to inflict higher damages.
- The rally for the CRUX Ghost Fleet can be formed using all the fleets that a commander can operate, and collaboration with other users is not possible.
- The fleet set up in the rally must include a flagship and a hero.
- Ranking is calculated based on the amount of damage inflicted on the CRUX Ghost Fleet and rewards can be received.
※ Additional details about the CRUX Ghost Fleet will be announced together with the maintenance time on 11/25.
