The Interlocking Competition Event runs from December 29th until January 8th and will feature 3 different kinds of stages called “Training Base”, “Final Proving Ground” and “Post” that need to be completed in sequential order. Players can farm the exclusive reward Competition Medals during this event to redeem growth materials and Podenco’s outfit “Wake Up From a Nap” in the event store.
It is worth noting that the clearing Squad can be chosen whether to garrison after clearing a stage in the “Post”. Garrisoned Operators cannot participate in other “Post ”and “Final Proving Ground” stages. For every garrisoned “Post” stage, an additional Special OpFor Unit will enter the “Final Proving Ground” to increase the stage difficulty. Defeating these Special OpFor Units can obtain more rewards.
Players are supposed to carefully decide the Operators involved in the battle and find the best solution for each stage.
Pallas, a 6-Star Guard, the priestess from ‘Minoan’, will be available in the event. Besides enhancing other allies, she also has a good damage-dealing ability. Pallas’s first skill lets her next attack deal more damage and attacks twice consecutively. When her second skill is activated, she will have a chance to Stun the target. Empowered by her first talent, she can offer all ‘Minoan’ Operators an ATK increase when their HP is above a certain percentage. The second talent allows her to restore HP of herself and the Operator in the tile ahead when she hits against an enemy. It’s good to deploy her behind other Operators.
Honestly, Pallas is a decent ranged Guard but rolling the banner just for her can be wasteful. More so if you were able to draw a 6-Star Operator in your previous rolls. Anyway, if you still lack a decent Guard for your team, you might want to take advantage of the Pallas banner. Or if you just want to collect 6-Star Operators, then go and roll!
Beyond that, 3 new outfits will be up for grabs in the event store, including “Weißer Sand” for Beeswax, “Londinium Style Miko” for Tsukinogi, and “Leisurely Afternoon” for Perfumer. The re-edition outfits “Shimmering Dew SD01” for Nearl and “Summer Flowers FA008” for Rope will be on sale as well. A New furniture set “The Photography Hobbyist’s Studio” will replace the current furniture set “White Wilderness” in lucky drop, but players can find “White Wilderness” at the Store. Be sure to check it out!
