Yostar broadcast the official program for smartphone tower defense “Arknights” titled “Arknights Official Live Broadcast ~2024 Spring Thanksgiving Special~” on April 23rd (Tuesday).

In this broadcast, new operators, a wealth of update information, and various non-game information were released, including the event side story “Zwillingturm’s Gold” with a music theme.

This article provides a summary of the contents of those presentations.

◆“Zwillingturm Gold” will be held
The event side story “The Gold of Zwillingturm” will be held from 4:00 PM on April 30th to 3:59 PM on May 21st. In this event, you can earn “Memories of Tuning” as a reward for clearing stages and completing missions. You can obtain various items in exchange for “Tune Memories” at the “Harvest Moon Concert” exchange. Please note that you must clear the main story “1-10” in order to participate.

In addition, if you meet certain conditions during the event period, you will be able to obtain the medal series “Zwillingturm Gold”.

Pay attention to the medal, which features two towers side by side and a meaningful design.

In addition, a stamp rally “Aiming for the heights of the twin towers” will be held during the event period, where you can earn rewards by logging in. The reward for the 4th day is the active interior “Towards the Far Heights”, and the reward for the 8th day is the special outfit for the character “Meteor”, “In the Forest of Staricitron”.

Additionally, once a day during the period, you can conduct a “business negotiation” where you can earn composite balls depending on the results. On DAYs 1 to 3, the industries for business negotiations vary depending on the period, such as “Biotech”, and if you can negotiate with all industries, you can receive 500 synthetic balls as a special development subsidy. If you use the “negotiation strategy,” where you choose one strategy from four types before a business meeting, the outcome will change depending on your choice.

◆New gimmicks and missions will be introduced at the event
In “Zwillingturm’s Gold,” where music is the key, a new gimmick will appear in which enemies attack in time with the music. Also, during battle, BGM for this event will be played instead of the normal BGM.

In toned-up songs, enemies are strengthened and their attack and movement speed are greatly increased. On the other hand, the defense power decreases. On the other hand, when the music is toned down, attack and movement speed decrease slightly, but attack power increases significantly. Some enemies may resonate with the tone of the song and use special abilities.

A “tuner” will be placed on the battlefield as a gimmick that allows you to control these tones. The Tuner can be controlled by attacking it a certain number of times, and can be used to tune a wide area to prevent the enemy from gaining an advantage. Increases the attack power and attack speed of allied operators by toning them up or down.

In addition, some tuners are equipped with defensive arts that can nullify the damage received, and by using them, it is possible to prevent attacks from a distance.

In addition, an investigation mission called “Inquiry into the state of mind” has appeared, where you can earn rewards by investigating incidents that occur. In order to get a story from someone involved in the case, you need to play the music “Key Melody”, which is the theme of this event, and read the other person’s state of mind.

You can also compose your own “Key Melody”, and use the notes that are dropped as rewards for clearing event stages to combine various types of melodies and utilize them in your investigation.

◆Event reward operator “Lessing” appears
In this event, you will be able to obtain a new operator “Lessing (CV: Yuma Uchida)” for “examining your state of mind”. A vanguard operator who has the ability to increase attack power for a certain period of time when receiving damage, and reduce damage taken when blocking.

◆Three new operators have been picked up for Limited Scout “Long Desire”!
Limited Scout “Long Desire” will be held from 4:00 PM on April 30th to 3:59 PM on May 21st. During the period, you can scout for free once a day with the limited scout “Long Desire”, and the “Spring Great Thanksgiving Scout Campaign” will also be held at the same time, where you can get a special scout ticket.

In addition, new operators to be picked up, “★5 Baseline (CV: Aki Kaneda)”, “★6 Viviana (CV: M・A・O)”, and “★6 Virtuosa (CV: Aya Endo)” have been implemented.

■Viviana
“Viviana” is an avant-garde type magic warrior who has the ability to increase the damage dealt by magic and reduce the damage received from physical and magic attacks. His second ability is a shield that negates one melee attack when attacking an enemy’s “elite” or “boss”, and the more damage it does to the enemy, the more effective it becomes.

■ Virtuosa
“Virtuosa” is an auxiliary type operator that inflicts the debuff “necrotic damage” every second. It also has a stopping ability that can reduce movement speed by 80%, making it excellent for supporting attackers.
