Celebrate Rockman X DiVE's 6th DIVE Festival With New "X" Skins


The Halloween event is over and before the next big event starts, the 6th DiVE Festival is here to keep us busy. 

There's a lot of going on here: we have the first boss to become playable, a pair of new skins for X, a new story mode chapter, and much more. You can find all the info after the break!

Copy X was the boss for the Zero Series event back in July. And now, for the first, a boss has become playable in DiVE. What's more, Copy X is the star of the 6th DiVE Festival. Your chances of getting him are higher than usual! And if that wasn't enough, the development team added an extra pull every time you activate a 10-draw!

The banner is available right now through November 18 at 15:59 (UTC+8). Now let's check out his skills!




Charge Shot 

Shoot an energy round to inflict 19.89% attack damage to the target. Can be charged to unleash a more powerful energy round that deals 10x damage.

  • Change Element - Fire: Change the element of your charge shot to fire element. When you reach the maximum charge, you can unleash five fire energy shots at the same time that cause the target to burn.
  • Change Element - Ice: Change the element of your charge shot to ice element. When you reach the maximum charge, you can unleash four ice energy shots in total that cause the target to become slow (stackable).
  • Change Element - Lightning: Change the element of your charge shot to lightning element. When you reach the maximum charge, you can unleash a lightning energy shot that ignores landscape and will cause the target to become immobile when hit.

Nova Strike

Crash forward, inflicting 200% attack damage to all targets in your way.

  • Power Increase: Increase damage rate by 5%.
  • Mobility: Reduce preparation time by 20%.
  • Twisted Justice: When you use Nova Strike, you gain a stack of "Savior" status. When you have 3 stacks of "Savior" status, your next Nova Strike will deal additional 25% damage and you will gain a shield of invulnerability.,

Passive Skills

Raging EX Charge: When your HP drops below 50%, recover 30% HP and gain a shield of invulnerability. This skill will only be activated once per stage.





Chapter 12 for the Story Mode is now available, too. It takes place in the Power Control Center. You may remember it as the Volt CatFish stage from Mega Man X3, but the boss is Flame Mammoth from the first Mega Man X game. While Volt CatFish is nowhere to be found, what you will find is a pretty sweet remix of his stage theme. Furthermore, "Chapter 10: Volcano" is now available to play in hard mode too.

Chapter 10 is now available for Co-op Mode and the event stages' DiVE Trigger enhancement, Zenny, Upgrade Equipment, EXP can be played at difficulty 7 if you have the necessary player level.

Boss Challenge has been updated with two new bosses: Byte, who is available if you reached player level 110, and Chop Register available at player level115. Byte Chip is also available which gives you a defense boost when hit by an attack if you're equipped with a melee weapon.

The level Cap has been increased to 120 and with that, we can craft a new armor and level up weapons and chips. The usual stuff.




The speed race event XDiVE Maximum Race is now live through November 17 at 22:00 (UTC+8). This event is pretty much the same as the race mode in the challenge tab but incorporates the online ranking and points system of the Boss Rush Mode.

When it comes to the "point rewards", you can get 15 memories of the Aqua Buster, 130 EM and the usual rewards like Zenny or skill points. What's more, you can get card #74, Staring Dash that will increase your speed by 15% when entering a stage.

As for the online ranking, it's all about finishing the stage as quickly as possible to get some character/weapon patches and gift boxes.




The "
X Ver.Ke" skin or "X M.K.Ver." as they call it in the game is now available from the newly opened skin store. Additionally, there is another skin for X from the TruForce toy line again: "X M.K.Ver. X-Boost". The price is 800 EM (not paid) each.

The regular price is 1200 EM so don't miss the opportunity now that they are on discount. When  purchased they give a boost of: ATK +32, HP +64 and DEF +16 to your player account.




Unfortunately the X-Boost skin doesn't have unique artwork, but the 3D model looks really cool! Let us know in the comments which one you prefer and if you bought any of them!



The Castle x Ghost x Halloween event continues and the Fight the Pumpkin Head Dark Man event has been changed to Purify The Ghost. It works exactly the same as the previous event: you get one lucky draw ticket by doing daily missions like "complete race mode 1 time", "complete co-op 1 time", "complete one level of the Jakob Orbital Elevator (challenge difficulty) and "defeat 100 enemies".


Later you can use the lucky draw tickets to get rewards which are slightly different from the previous event. For more details about how it works you can check our previous Halloween article.




The Card Shop is now open. During the trail period that lasts until November 18 at 15:59 (UTC+8) all items are on sale with a special price. The prices may be adjusted after the shop gets an official opening.

These are the following items you can purchase:

  1. "When equipped they give you a boost of: ATK +32, HP +64 and DEF +16."

    This can be confusing--the skin does not add the stat when equipped or using the character but instead apply to the account. I suggest "When unlocked they give your account a boost of: ATK +32, HP +64 and DEF +16." instead.
