New Shard Clash Map: Caesarea
Lancers are invited to explore Caesarea, a Shard once home to a thriving civilization, now silenced by glunite dust and erupting volcanoes. This map offers a high-stakes environment where environmental hazards meet tactical complexity, challenging players to adapt to its charred remains.
Toy Front Line: Endless Mode
The PVE experience expands with the Pigment Realm chapter, featuring the debut of Endless Mode and a series of new maps. Lancers must survive infinite waves of monsters by utilizing random Shard Cards, blessings, and a new perk system, in which you can unlock rich new buffs, including damage increases, defense increases and skill evolvements.
Rule-Breaking Shard Cards: Chaos is the New Meta
The "Colors Burst" update further pushes the boundaries of the Shooter Playground with a suite of reality-bending Shard Cards designed to keep every round unpredictable. From supernatural physics to high-stakes gambles, these new additions empower Lancers to rewrite the rules of engagement.
Race to the Top: The Finish Line card spawns a literal red line on the battlefield; the first ally to cross it transforms into a powerhouse with boosted damage, speed, and health.
High-Stakes Combat: Embrace the chaos with Large Caliber, which slashes your magazine size but grants a devastating 20% damage increase to every shot.
Tactical Invisibility: With Elusiveness, every kill grants a brief 2.5-second window of invisibility, allowing for perfect repositioning or back-to-back assassinations.
Environmental Dominance: Walls are no longer safe with Piercing Bullet, allowing shots to penetrate solid obstacles once to catch enemies off guard.
Unorthodox Survival: From the Static Shield, which rewards patience with massive HP regeneration while standing still, to the Breaching Hammer for raw structural destruction, the tactical possibilities are endless.
