Ideal City: Endless Carnival Event and Update

Arknights Celebrates Third Anniversary with Livestream, New Event and More 1

Running from now until 10 February 2023, the Ideal City: Endless Carnival event will be broken down into three phases – Phase 1 available now, Phase 2 starting on 20 Jan and Phase 3 commencing 27 Jan.  The story of this event is about a Durin named Minimalist who turns to Tomimi and Rhodes Island in order to save the impending disaster of Zeruertza. This catches the attention of Gavial and Eunectes, who are in Rhodes Island, and brings them to Zeruertza to help Minimalist through the crisis.

Fancy a free 5-star character? During the event, 5 Star Caster Minimalist can be freely claimed as one of the rewards of City Forum missions and his token is available in the event store. Also, Doctors can enjoy Self-Driving Cart Racetrack to get cart parts and assemble their own cart with different functions in the stage. The redeemable rewards in Leaping Gloompincer Market include Minimalist’s Token, Great Aquapit Funtastic Experientorium Furniture (Pieces), Headhunting Permit, Module Materials, Elite Materials, LMD, Battle Records, and Furniture Parts.

Players can also claim a free 10-roll through the first log in and perform a free roll every day in Great Axe and Pen Nib Limited Headhunting, and randomly obtain 200 – 800 Orundums from the Beating Tickets event during the anniversary period.

New Operators

Gavial the Invincible – 6 Star Guard
Gavial the Invincible is Medic Gavial’s Alternate Version and can only be obtained through Great Axe and Pen Nib Headhunting. As a Centurion, she can attack all enemies blocked at the same time, and with her talent, the more enemies are blocked, the higher her Attack and Defense increase. Her third skill can sharply increase her Attack Speed, reduce and delay the damage taken during effect.
 
Pozëmka – 6 Star Snipper
Pozëmka is a Heavyshooter. She can deploy a Typewriter which has the same skill as herself and reduces the target’s Defense by attacking. Her Attack Range expands and Attack Interval is reduced when her third skill is in effect. Most importantly, she ignores the target’s Physical Dodge after her ARC-Y Module is unlocked.
 
Cantabile – 5 Star Vanguard
Cantabile is a Therapist. Her skill will be activated at the time when she is deployed, and over the duration of the skill, every attack of her can generate 1 DP. Her second skill can increase her Attack and Attack Speed, but the number of DP generated depends on her ammo counts.
 
Minimalist – 5 Star Caster
Minimalist controls a Drone to deal Arts damage to enemies as a Mech-Accord. The first skill increases his Attack and Attack Speed, while the second skill is an auto-triggered dual attack.

The 3rd Anniversary Livestream hosted by Amiya and Gavial revealed more information and content about what lies ahead.
