Story

The bikini competition that was abruptly halted by the Modesty Corps’ disturbance is set to resume! This time around, the grand prize is the precious Flame of Hela gem. Competitors Schera and Teresse are ready to reenter the fray, hoping to secure the gem for themselves this go-around. Meanwhile, Rubia has joined the contest, donning a Maid Bikini. She’s actually on the hunt for the Mafias pursuing the Flame of Hela, all while pretending to participate. The competition promises to be fierce, with the arrival of a new formidable competitor who could potentially shake things up. Will Schera and Teresse manage to emerge victorious this time?

In sequential order, each episode becomes accessible as you view them, while certain episodes will open up after a specified time frame has passed.

Beauty on Duty Season Event Battle Guide

1. The event battles are categorized into regular fights and more challenging ones that demand thoughtful growth strategies.
2. Upon entering the battle screen, you can view the suggested power level for each stage, your current account’s combat power, objectives for each challenge, and rewards for achieving these goals.
3. Utilize the bottom buttons on the entry menu to access monster details or engage in battle.
4. Clearing each stage and meeting the challenge objectives grant a specific amount of event currency.
5. Engaging in a battle requires AP. Daily free AP is replenished at 12 AM (UTC), and extra Paid AP can be purchased using Dias from the event shop.
6. Winning a battle decreases AP by 1, while losing or forfeiting does not consume any AP.
7. If you complete all tasks in a specific stage, you can utilize the quick battle feature to instantly receive the rewards.
8. In stages where you’ve won battles, you can opt for Repeated Battles and collect rewards with each victory.

3) Fire Crab Mother Guide

– The opportunity to hunt the colossal beast known as “Fire Crab Mother” will soon be available.
– To maintain balance in the elemental aspect of this giant monster, the creature “Crab Mother” will reappear with a Fire element.
– Its inherent properties remain unchanged, but its tactics will be altered.
– You can engage in this battle by tapping the “Fiend Hunter” button located at the base of your main Season Event screen.

Crab Mother (Fire)

1. To maintain tranquility at the idyllic getaway and shoreline, you need to vanquish the menacing crustacean, known as Crab Mother, that has risen from the ocean, emitting harmful bubbles.

2. This fierce creature is defending its offspring, revealing its formidable pincers hidden under its shell!

3. However, one wonders what instigated this mother crab to aggressively defend the serene beach where vacations are meant for relaxation?

4. With no moments to spare, its sharp claws swiftly carve through the sand!

– To enter the Season Event, tap ‘Fiend Hunter’ at the bottom of the UI.

4) At Beauty on Duty, Here’s the Info on Our Event Store:
– Acquire a variety of goods from our Event Store by earning event points through each activity.
– Key items available in the Event Store include:

After the Beauty on Duty season event concludes, the Event Shop will stay open for another 14 days. During this period, you can still spend any leftover event currency to make purchases.

The “White Sorrow” seasonal event store, which is ongoing and continues until 14 days following the conclusion of the event, will still be accessible. During this time frame, you can utilize any leftover event currency to collect your rewards.

During the season events from August 13th to August 27th, wearing the designated costumes for each event will reward you with extra event currency at a specific rate from specified season event content. Here’s a list of eligible bonus costume options for these events:

As a collector of numerous enchanting costumes, the extra event coins I earn are cumulatively calculated and distributed according to the number of these magical outfits I possess.

As a fan, I’m thrilled to share some exciting news! Starting from after the August 13th maintenance, the enigmatic and captivating character, Bikini Agent Sylvia, will make her appearance at the Glupy Diner.

To connect with her on a deeper level, be sure to acquire her contact details. This will open up opportunities for engaging in GluTalk and Encounter Events, fostering affinity, and unlocking unique interactions!

Prepare yourself for an intriguing and mystical journey alongside Bikini Agent Sylvia that you won’t want to miss out on! Just remember, Fated Guests will only be available in the Glupy Diner Pack if you own the corresponding costume. Happy gaming!

Update for Teresse’s “Prestige Skin” Costumes

– The design of the “Prestige Skins” for Beachside Angel Teresse will be revamped.
– When you equip this Prestige Skin, it will transform the static image, skill cutscenes, and small character model of the original costume. It also includes unique dash effects and idle animations that are not available with the current character.
– Previously exclusive interaction features for Fated Guests can now be experienced on the home screen. These interactions can be enjoyed without having a Fated Guest story. The combat performance remains unchanged, using the original costume’s skills.
– After acquiring the Prestige Skin, go to Companion > Costume Tab. In the lower area where costumes are selected, a “Skin” button will appear above the SD icon for Beachside Angel Teresse. Tapping this will bring up the skin change popup.
– Even if you only own the Prestige Skin and not the Beachside Angel Teresse costume, you can still enjoy the standing illustration, skill cutscenes, and interactions on the home screen.
– The Prestige Skins can be obtained through the “Prestige Skin Lucky Draw.” For more information about the Lucky Draw, please refer to the event announcement.

Title Update: Introducing the Rhythm Action Minigame – “Slap! Slap! Pop!”

– A new minigame, “Slap! Slap! Pop!”, is being added to the Home Menu > Arcade Tab. In this game, you’ll tap notes in sync with the music.
– The game can only be played in Landscape Mode.
– There are 3 difficulty levels – Normal, Hard, and Challenge, as well as 3 speed settings – x1, x2, and x4 for an enhanced gaming experience.
– “Slap! Slap! Pop!” features 5 songs and 5 character skins. Most skins can be earned through missions, but Venaka’s cosmetic is provided by default.
– The minigame also supports the Silhouette Mode, but you cannot switch modes during gameplay, so remember to select your preferred mode before starting the game.

Guidelines for Playing the Rhythm Game:

1. Earn points by tapping the notes at the right moment. Your score increases with every accurate tap.
2. Here’s a breakdown of the different note types:

a) Standard Notes – Tap when the note appears on the screen.

b) Long Notes – Hold and tap to accumulate points for as long as the note is visible.

c) Swipe Notes – Swipe left or right instead of tapping to hit these notes.

d) Slider Notes – Drag your finger along the line connecting two notes to score points.

e) Tap & Hold Notes – Tap and hold the note for a certain duration to earn points.

1. In this game, there are four levels of accuracy: Perfection, Excellent, Good, and Miss. Hitting the notes correctly increases your combo count.

2. Maintaining your combo for a certain duration awards extra points.

3. It’s advised to adjust the Tapping Accuracy sensitivity before starting play due to device input differences.

4. Fever Gauges appear at particular intervals and fill up as you accurately tap the notes.

5. Once the gauge is full, Fever Mode will activate. In Fever Mode, tapping repeatedly generates bonus points regardless of the type of note.

6. The taps during this mode won’t contribute to your combo but will be considered Perfect and added to your final score.

As a dedicated player of the mini-game “Slap! Slap! Pop!”, I’m always on the lookout for new challenges. Each mission offers its unique twist, and here’s how it works:

Completing specific missions will earn me some sweet rewards. Here’s a breakdown of what I can expect to get once I clear a mission.

3) Ranking System

– Our platform, Slap! Slap! Pop!, exclusively supports Rankings that include Difficulty or Challenge modes.
– The Rankings are determined by the highest scores achieved.

Update to Character Support Feature: Players can now filter and borrow costumes from other players’ characters during battles, accessible via Home Menu > Friends and Replace menu. Here’s a rundown of the available content for these Support Characters:

1. The Support Characters Filter update makes it easier for players to find and select characters they want to borrow costumes from during battles.
2. Instead of saying “Support Character feature,” you could also use “Character Costume Borrowing” or “Player-to-player Costume Lending.”
3. In the original, “during the battle” is repeated twice. You could rephrase it as “in combat” to make it more concise and avoid repetition.
4. Instead of saying “available game contents for support characters,” you could use “contents available for Support Characters” or simply “Support Character contents.”

In Very Hard Difficulty, Support Characters are withheld as this difficulty level is designed specifically to provide a challenging experience, rather than offering assistance.

1. You can use Support Characters up to three times per day for each content type. For instance, after using them thrice in Season Event Normal Battles, you may still utilize them three more times in Story Pack Battles.

2. A suggested Support Character might appear during battles under specific conditions. This recommended character can be used a maximum of three times daily overall, regardless of the content type. For example, if you use it two times in Season Event Battles and once in a Story Pack Battle (total of 3 uses), it will not be available again until the daily reset.

3. Only one Support Character may be borrowed at a time.

4. Once a battle has started, you cannot switch to a different Support Character.

5. When other players borrow the Support Character you’ve set, you earn 2 Deco Coins per borrow.

6. You can collect up to 20 Deco Coins daily. The Deco Coin rewards are cumulative, and any excess will carry over to the next day. For example, if your total Deco Coins reach 25, you’ll receive 20 coins for the day, and the remaining 5 will be available after the next daily reset.

7. The friend list capacity will increase from 20 to 30 contacts.

Enhancements for Pack Shortcuts and Quality of Life Improvements:

1) Quick Access to Packs:
– From the field screen, you can now switch packs instantly with just a single tap.
– Tapping on the Shortcuts will display Recent, Story, Character, Content, Event Packs at the bottom of the field screen (Landscape Mode) or on the left side (Portrait Mode).
– A pin icon is available at the top right corner of each pack’s image, allowing you to pin your favorite packs which will always appear on the left side.
– The auto-feed button for food has been moved to the character HP UI section, although it may not be visible in safe areas.

1) Revising the Home Screen Transition:

– We will make it easier to find our way back to the Field by enhancing the visibility of the transition on the Home screen.
– In the near future, you’ll notice a ‘Return to the Field’ button positioned at the bottom right corner of your Home screen, nestled beside the Pack image for quick access.

Enhanced Visibility for Speedy Hunt:

For a more noticeable appearance, we have made improvements to the Quick Hunt button on the Field screen. Additionally, this button will now be placed on the right side of your Home screen, providing easy access to the World Map.

4) Relocating the Field Character Setting Button for Easier Access
– We’ve moved the “Field Character Setting” button as it was previously hard to find.
– In the future, you’ll notice the ‘Field Character Setting’ button will be placed at the bottom of the screen for your convenience.

The new feature allows for immediate movement to Hunting Grounds directly from passes or missions on the mini map, located at the upper right corner. Additionally, Auto Hunting will now cease when you choose to ‘Run Away’ during battle to ensure players can continue encountering monsters without being hindered by continuous auto hunting.

As a gamer, here’s how I’d rephrase it:

“Hey gamers! In our Tower of Pride update, we’re switching things up. Instead of ranking you for just two weeks, we’ll now keep a clear record of your scores. Exciting news! You’ll now earn daily rewards each time the game resets, based on the total score you’ve earned from the floors you’ve conquered. Can’t wait to see those points stack up!”

For the rewards part:

“Now, let me tell you about the new daily prizes! They’re determined by your overall score from the cleared floors. Here’s a sneak peek at what you could be winning:


– Achievements related to Tower of Pride will also be revised and distributed accordingly.
ㄴ However, the clear record and experience for the deleted achievements will be retained.
– The ranking statues in the Castle Safe Zone will be removed, and the rankings previously viewable from the NPC Garinoth will be replaced with a “Past Rankings” text.
– Ranking information will be removed from both the Tower of Pride entry screen and the user information screen.

As a dedicated gamer, I can’t help but appreciate the upcoming enhancements to the ‘Change Costume Suggestion’ feature. From now on, whenever you acquire new characters or costumes that aren’t already in your collection, this helpful tool will work even better, making it smoother for you to customize your gaming persona!

We’re going to introduce an automatic level-up feature and automatic gear equipping in our game. This means your character will automatically upgrade and the right equipment will be selected for them without any manual intervention from you. Additionally, we’ll be adding a cutscene and standing illustration when you access the home menu.

10. Modification of Store UX:

The main menu on the home screen will now be referred to as the “Premium Shop Menu,” and its overall appearance will be revised for a more streamlined look.

In this updated Premium Shop Menu, you’ll find both Monthly Dia Packages and our Paid Dia Shop options.

Enlargement of the Malefic Castle includes an increase in the height of the Towers of Desire, Wrath, and Jealousy by 50 stories each. Additionally, new achievements linked to the Tower of Desire will become available due to this expansion.

The permanent fixture of the minigame “Fiend Hunter: Edge of Fury” is now in place, with Blade and Teresse undergoing further balance adjustments. The hard and very hard multiplayer difficulties have been tweaked to offer a slightly easier experience. Characters will move faster overall, and their stamina recovery speeds have also been increased. The timing for Just Evade and Just Guard has been made more forgiving. Teresse and Granhildr can now cancel other actions to use their Special Skills. Blade’s attack range has been expanded, while the speed of his basic attack and evade actions has been boosted. Teresse’s skill animation speed has also been accelerated, and Granhildr’s final basic attack animation has been altered. Lastly, rankings for both Single and Multiplayer modes will be reset.

Enhancements to the User Interface

1. Distinct Stat Icons: For Health Points (HP), Attack (ATK), and Magic Attack (Magic ATK), we’ll differentiate them from percentage (%)-based stats by adding a ‘+’ symbol to the (N) icons.

2. Customizable Mark Settings: New stat icons will be incorporated in the Custom Mark Settings.

3. Filters for Gear Collection: A “Part” filter will be introduced in the Gear Collection.

4. Prioritization of Custom Marked Gears: In the Gear Tab, we’ll prioritize gears that have been marked customly under the heading “Custom Marked Gears First”.
