New Shipgirls and Construction
This event introduces five new Iris Libre shipgirls to the game. Commanders can earn PT by playing through event stages, with the Elite shipgirl Duguay-Trouin available as a milestone reward upon reaching certain PT. Commanders can also exchange the PT for various rewards, including the new Super Rare shipgirl Le Hardi. She can additionally be obtained through Stage Drops or Limited Construction (without rate-up). Meanwhile, the Limited Construction Pool features the rate-up of the other two Super Rare shipgirls - Masséna and Bois Belleau - along with the new Elite shipgirl Duquesne.
New Arrivals in the Event Shop
This event introduces ten new skins: nine from the Hot Springs series and one from the Home Relaxation series. Among the new Hot Springs skins are two L2D skins and three dynamic skins: "Sweetly Intoxicating Spring" for Masséna, “Bathing Under Sunny Skies” for Enterprise, "Covetous Bathgoer" for Duguay-Trouin, "A Dip in the Moonlight" for Noshiro, and "Basking in the Cypress' Warmth" for Helena.
A major highlight is the debut of an enhanced skin feature: L2D+ , which allows Commanders to examine shipgirls from specific camera angles for a more immersive experience. Two brand-new skins showcase this new technology: "Steamy Therapy" for Bois Belleau and "Sweet Evening Milk" for Anchorage. Commanders are encouraged to secure these skins immediately to personally witness the revolutionary L2D+ feature.
