Challenge the Superb Boss 'ZXXV Edward'! (Thunder)

Hi, it's Com2uS!

The match against the powerful superb boss "ZXXV Edward"(Thunder) will be available starting at Aug 14th 8am PDT!

"ZXXV Edward" was a researcher that was working on a vaccine against the deadly virus that nearly obliterated planet Kiri.

He found out that he was infected by the virus, so he gave himself the unfinished vaccine and put himself in the deep freeze capsule. When he finally woke up, he found out that the vaccine only made things worse.

Check below for more details about the match against the powerful superb boss "ZXXV Edward"(Thunder)!

■ Event Schedule

From Aug. 14th 8am - Aug. 16th 8am PDT

■ Event Details

- You will be able to get the superb boss with a 100% chance when you clear the match. Please check the Player Book for more details about the superb boss.

※ Please note that the superb boss's team will be under "Enervation" effect when you continue to lose to the superb boss up to a certain point. The Enervation effect will be displayed on the Match List, Team Preview page, and the Match Skill Effect page.

 

[Superb Boss "ZXXV Edward"]

※ Notice
1. Superb boss matches are far more difficult than normal boss matches. If you are new to the game, beware!
2. You may only acquire the superb boss character once on your first victory.

Food for thought:

• This superb boss is INSANE! 
• Edward's passive skill will block any damage in position for the first 15 minutes!
• The enemy GK will recover 60% of her health when being attacked!
• The GK's active block also reduces damage to 100%!
• And, to make it worse, any incoming damage is basically blocked when she's below 60% of HP. So, good bye Jeunese - Mariel combination ;_;

Key for victory:

1. Wait for 15 minutes until Edward's passive damage reduction effect wears off, in that duration use active shoot to waste the enemy GK's active block.
2. Kill the minion next to GK if possible, then use active pass + shoot when the GK is alone.
3. Stack pass and critical damage as much as possible.

Videos:
Here are some videos from other players who defeated Edward.

1) Using Lucid & Zibroi.

 

  2) Using Sharr & Kei

 

3) Using Blade & Zibroi

 

Character Recall - Milky Way

Hi, it's Com2uS!

We've decided to apply the Recall System in order to preserve the minimum value of the characters.

In order to make the game better, we constantly try to update the game and apply balance patches as well. The value of some characters may decrease during the process, but we ask for your understanding in these situations.


1) Definition
- When the value of a character decreases as a result of a balancing patch or update, the developers will assess the issue. If the developers conclude that the character has significantly lost value, they will designate the character as a recallable character, and provide compensation to the users that possess the character.

2) Definition of Significant Decrease in Value
- The effectiveness of a skill has decreased by 30% or more
- The stats of a player has decreased by 15% or more
- The skill or skills of a player has been replaced with other skill or skills, and as a result the value of the character has decreased significantly (Decided by the developers)

3) Exceptions
- If the value decrease comes from an indirect result of a game system change or game rule change, the character will not be designated as a recallable character.
- If there is a possibility of a value increase within a month of the significant value decrease. The character will not be designated as a recallable character in this case as well.

[About the Recall System]
​
1. The Recall System icon will be displayed on the upper right side of the main menu. (Next to the chat button)
2. The recallable characters and recall period will be displayed when you enter the Recall System. You can proceed with the recall by selecting the recallable character that you possess.


3. Please note the following before using the Recall System


- You can recall a character once during the period.
- GP equivalent to the character's value will be given out when you recall a character.
- When you recall a character, a substitute character(Sho Sho) will be given out. Sho Sho will inherit the[EXP, Evolution level, Special Training level, Power-up value, Clover value, and Extreme Evolution value] of the recalled character.
- Sho Sho can be used as training material for characters that match the grade of the recalled character. When used as training material, the values that Sho Sho inherited from the recalled character will be transferred to the character you are training.
- The inherited stats that Sho Sho transfers to the character you are training can't exceed that character's maximum stats.

WARNING:

• You can only recall ONCE! So, if you have a superbed Milky Way, don't disassemble her. Or if you have several copies of them, superbed her first before recall.
• Milky Way MIGHT BE REMOVED from the game altogether. Someone from facebook asked the official Soccer Spirits facebook page about her fate. So, if you haven't recalled her, it might be wise to do so now.

• New thunder superb boss! I'm not really fond to the art, but his Ace is definitely useful for Thunder/Dark user. But, looking at his skill, nothing really special. He will appear in this weekend.
• New Ardor rival. A passer, really good placeholder for those who don't have Nari or main passer yet.
• The minions are now separated to a new group in the Player Books. It means some free crystals (yay!).
• The recall system finally is being implemented. The victim is Milky Way. 
• And here goes another week hoping for Lucian EE ;_;

Food for Thought:

• Shanti and Black Ivy is available in draw now.
• Shanti's skill sets are very interesting, it seems like she's built for damage. If she gets an EE, she will compete with Beatrice.
• Black Ivy's Ace is very useful for Light/Dark user since not everyone has Metatron. Active heal, team wide buff, position debuff, action bar heal and damage reduction when stealing make her very useful, especially in PvE.
• Virgil's brilliance was lacking, so BigBall decided to make amend by adding more bling bling effect to his art.

Well, that's it. Not too shabby patch, but I'm hoping for more EE revelation in the upcoming patches.

New Extreme Evolve Prediction - Raklet & Black Daisy

Recently, two new arts for extreme evolve has been posted in the official Soccer Spirits Facebook Page (Korean).

 

Raklet EE

Black Daisy EE

Actually, there's no official statement from them that states these arts are Extreme Evolution arts. So, there is a possibility for them to be new skins, but it is very unlikely. The arts are closely resemble to their second evolution arts, and if we refer to Silla's skin, these arts is more likely to be the Extreme Evolution. Well, I hope that we will get their EE soon unlike Luka. Now, with Raklet rumoured to get her EE, I hope some news about Lucian's EE will appear.

By the way, if you want to access the Korean Facebook Page of Soccer Spirits, in Facebook, search for Soccer Spirits and in options select "Switch Region" and choose "South Korea".

Food For Thought:
HYPE! HYPE! HYPE! Seriously, BigBall has done it again! A lot of improvements and new characters are brought to the table to us players. Some of notable improvements are: 

• New LIGHT LEGEND! He's a very unique striker and if you may notice his active skill doesn't have a cool down! I can see that he's born to be a utility striker (maybe Uriel's spot will be threatened?).
• New season 2 characters are Haru(Thunder) and Shanti(WW). Haru has similar Ace to Hiro, so for people who hate Hiro he's your savior. In the other hand, Shanti is a striker built for destroying Ardor GK (poor Lucian).
• THREE NEW EEs! Elaine, Luka and Virgil!  Elaine looks badass in her EE and her skills are also frightening. Luka HYPE! Finally she descends to the world after waiting for half a year. Virgil looks charming and his skill set makes him a spirit generator and line healer.
• New Boss Thunder Chrono. 
• Finally! Club system! It's a great system to give players the sense of belongings to their club and members. In the future there will be a club match, no information about what form it will takes for now.
• Spirit Stones Power-Up Mileages, a great system to reduce players frustration of grinding stones.
• Spirit Stones options reapply, a system to change your current stone's options. Really useful if you're not satisfied with your stone's options, you have to pay with dimension stone though.
• The Enervation System, a system to help players win the boss match by nerfing the boss each time you lose the match.
• Scout Lock, lock your favorite player so he/she doesn't get refreshed while you're grinding for GP. It will refresh when new scout week starts though.
• Character Recall, you can trade a player designated for recall for Sho Sho and GP during the recall period. The Sho Sho will have the same level, spu, and power-ups and you can train him to other player.
• New rewards system for Galaxy League.
• Hell Story Mode now has its own tab.
• The draw system has new UI. 
• Other bug fixes.

That pretty much sums it up. I personally like the team arrangement upgrade. Now arranging a team formation before a match is a lot easier and more convenient than before, surely a great improvement. I hope that BigBall will brings more excitements in the future.
