Looks nice. I really wan't those new PA's.

[indescribably]

new field lobby? nice!

[Minto44]

Any info on this new mission, "Beach Bum Beast"?

Will there be completely new enemies? Reused? Will we get a new boss? The "Eyewitnesses have reported seeing a creature seemingly engulfed in flames!" part would imply that we're getting some kind of new boss, would it not?

[GCoffee]

The boss is most likely our old pal mid-boss flaming lion.
They did not include new enemies in the large update, there won't be any.

[Ezodagrom]

Since there's Distovas in the mission picture, maybe it's the fire contaminated Gol Dolva that appeared in Shred the Darkness, the one that dropped Guld.

[str898mustang]

[The Master eye]

[Crysteon]

Why? It's gonna break AF even more, lolol.

[DeltaViolet+]

Some of them look so dam nice.

That whip one looks good which is grand because Acrotecher is in need of a serious boost!

Wartecher >> Acrotecher...

;P

[DeathDragon2332]

Can't wait for the new Dagger PA simple way 2 travel.

WT has become my fav type in this game...It has something for everything and by far the most amazing supporter I've seen. Pretty much the Queen of the Chessboard. ^_^

Honestly, the WT buff was great. Although WT doesnt support as well as AT, most players don't need that support unless they're greatly underlvled. And WT makes it up 2x with its weapon choice and PAs so you'll always clear a mission faster with a WT.

[Keilyn]

Support is a very funny word.

Wartecher is an offensive support class. Having access to Striking Weapons, Bullets with SE 4 (bows at level 22), and Techs with GI limits....weapons like Twin Dil Edge and her support buffs...and even Debuffs like Zoldeel.....You will have a strong front-runner who can join other classes.


they can double up with riflers and fire bows...
they can double up with hunters and use twin dils
they can double up with other techers and overlap on techs.

they can truly fill defensive and offensive gaps anywhere!

I am 24 AP away from fully GASing newman WT...and I am impressed by the type.

Impressed that it remains the only type in the game that has enough of a learning curve to keep me busy. I learn something new everyday...

There are several nasty surprises I've found on WT that have really made me happy of playing WT...lets just say one of them involves instances where Twin Dil Edge + Assault Crush actually is a worse choice than my other options. ^_^

[Crysteon]

I feel odd for not being the one derailing this topic for once. Oh well...

[WiZ1988]

Now I want to make a WT.

I have heard that they are for the first time using the original soundtrack to the beach field. Can someone source this with a video?

[WiZ1988]

For some reason I thought there was a AMP boost in this update....hmmm.

On a side note, Grand Crusher is pretty sweet. In like 5 mins its gained 8 levels. New knuckles pa is gonna be rough leveling. Slicer pa is nice too, want to see the damage output once I level it. Fucking sweet I tell ya! lol

Called it.
