Fight Colonel in Rockman X DiVE's Valentine's Day Event

Due to numerous delays in development, Rockman X DiVE was unable to celebrate Valentine's Day last year. This Monday, though, Rockman X DiVE's first Valentine's Day event begins! Find all the details after the break!


The Valentine's Day event, "Colonel's Valentines Challenge", will be live next Monday through February 21. The gacha banner will stay for a few days after, up until February 24.

As you can see in the trailer above, the Valentine's Day characters are "Valentines Day Iris" and "Valentines Day Ciel." There's also the S rank weapon "Heart Spray Gun" which is called "Misora Shower" in the Japanese version, named after Mega Man Star Force's Sonia Strumm.



Valentines Day Iris' active skills are Heart Beam, which shoots a beam forward inflicting damage to targets within range, and Valentine's Gift, which spawns several chocolates that orbit around her acting as an offensive and defensive barrier.

One of Iris' passive skills allows her to recover 30% HP when HP is below 75%. This can only be triggered again after 45 seconds.



Valentines Day Ciel active skills are Chocolate Cyber-elf, which commands Passy to fly towards the enemy and causes damage. Her second active skill is Auto Chocolate Factory which deploys a factory that automatically spawns chocolate and gives enhanced defense when active. 

One of Ciel's passive skills will give her a chance to summon a cyber-elf by her side when attacked.

I can't say I was expecting Colonel to debut in a seasonal event... but overall, it looks like they put a lot of effort into this one. I'm looking forward to start playing tomorrow.

Let us know what you think of it in the comments!

  1. Funny Energy Breaker Robot joins the fight. I honestly thought they'd make him playable instead of a boss, though that might change later.

  2. I'll spare y'all my usual comments about the footwear and just say that those dresses are super-cute. Especially Dr. Ceil's~!

  5. With every passing day of this thing I am more annoyed that they don't make a 3D remaster of X4.
    They can make all the stages single runs rather than 2 parters, they can really flesh out the end stages which is MUCH too short, and most importantly they can fix the terrible dub. Maybe flesh out the Iris battle looks a little better.

    They practically have many of the assets already. They've done all 3 forms of Sigma, Magma Dragoon, Iris, Colonel not to mention X and the guy who steals all the valentines. AND the Ultimate Armor. So much of the work is already done, and apparently they can fart this stuff out pretty rapidly. They can have X4 Remaster done by next year, I am convinced.

  6. Personal preference, i would have prefered if they kept some reploid elements on Iris design. I mean, i understand why they would make them fully humanoïds for the swimwear variant, but Command Mission iron Maiden Cinamon had shown that you can combine apron and Robot design.
    Like this it does'nt really looks like her.
    Maybe keeping a pink color scheme for Ciel, but i guess they had to make her more distinct from the regular outfit.

    1. See now, I'm glad it's not just me. Granted, I'm more focused on boots rather than any other robotic "clothes," but the point stands! Hee hee.

    2. Makes that 3. I always liked rhe fact that different era reploid/bots in the MM timeline are easely distingued by a few design simitude/ difference.
      That's why i like halloween Vile. Still distinctly looks like Vile, but with the halloween elements.

  7. Am i the only one having a bug in the event stage? When i beat the Ferham fanboys it does'nt trigger a cutscene and i can't receive the 2nd piece pf chocolate. It did'nt stop me from completing the rest of the stage and fighting the boss, but i can't S-rank it if i don't get get 3 pieces.
    I'll try playing it again later to see if this is a reoccuring problem.
