Rockman X DiVE - Merry Christmas!

The final Rockman X DiVE event of the year is here. Although the development team already revealed everything -- from the playable characters to the Christmas Bit skin -- we're here to look at all the details! Hit the jump below!

The banner with the Christmas Leviathan, Bit, the Shooting Dragon buster and the Shadow Noise buster is already live through January 06 at 15:59 (UTC+8). After the Berserker saber from the previous week, we have another weapon from the Star Force Series: the buster from the Star Force transformation Green Dragoon from the first Mega Man Star Force game. How long until the first Star Force characters start showing up in the game? Your guess is as good as mine.

The main attraction of the event is the "Merry Christmas" event stage that takes place in a snowy mountain. It delivers another great remix, this time Blizzard Buffalo Stage remix from Rockman X3.

In this stage you will be collecting socks but you don't have to bother searching them; they are pretty spread along the path on your way to the boss. You can get more than the seven required to get the completion star. The characters and weapons that will grant you more points or dealt more damage are as follows:

As for the rewards, it's just the usual items plus six "Merry Christmas" cards, the memories necessary to unlock Bit as playable character, and the "Christmas Bit" skin. We will talk about that a bit later.

In addition to the awards from the event rewards list, the development team will send you more rewards to your in-game mailbox if you reach the following goals:

• Reach 8000 Event Points to get【Christmas Giftbox】x5
• Reach 12000 Event Points to get【Bit Memory】x10
• Reach 16000 Event Points to get【Christmas Giftbox】x5
• Reach 21000 Event Points to get【Element Metal】x20
• Reach 26000 Event Points to get【Christmas Giftbox】x10

• Reach 35000 Event Points to get【Christmas Giftbox】x15
• Reach 38000 Event Points to get【Bit Memory】x20

• Reach 45000 Event Points to get【Element Metal】x100

The Rewards will be sent to your in-game mailbox before January 13 at 23:59 (UTC+8). 

The fourth part of Operation X'mas Present is live from today through December 30 at 15:59 (UTC+8). Week four of the event has the following set of missions to complete: 

• Conduct Research 25 Times.
• Complete Race Mode 8 Times.
• Correct 1000 irregular data.

By completing these missions, you will gain the following rewards: "Christmas Giftboxes", "Christmas Activation Cards" and "Premium Card Packs".

The Memorabilia from Snow Festival event is already live through January 5 at 22:00 (UTC+8).

In this event, you can get "memorabilia" items in the form of Chill Penguin ice statues by playing the story mode (40 memorabilia items daily) and from Boss challenge (9 memorabilia items daily).

With this "memorabilia" you can get the following items from the store:

In total, you can get 686 "memorabilia" items. You won't be able to get everything so think wisely. On top of that, the more "memorabilia" items you get, the more EM you will gain in the "Request to collect Memorabilia from Snow Festival" event. There's a total of 240 EM for 560 items collected.

Cards have been added to the Gallery and with this the chance to rise your player power. It works exactly as it does with weapons and characters, but cards only have 3 type of goals to raise power. Acquire the card and progressively raise their level and rank. The game has more than 100 cards already, albeit the player power you will get from them is nothing out of the ordinary. Every bit helps, right?

The Christmas event brings two new skins: Christmas Ferham and Christmas Bit. Christmas Ferham costs 1200 EM, which is not paid EM, just regular EM. After January 13th, the price will increase to 1600 EM.

As for Christmas Bit, he marks the return of skins that we don't have to purchase. However, there is a catch: you need to be among the top 30 in the online ranking of the Christmas event stage when everything is said and done. This won't be an easy task.

If you are interested in the items added to the store and bug fixes, you can check them here. Lastly, next week's maintenance period will be on Tuesday as opposed to the usual Wednesday.
