Thank you for playing "SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI Liberation Dx2".

We would like to announce a scheduled maintenance for updating the game to the upcoming [Ver.4.0.00].

The game servers will be unavailable for the duration of the maintenance.
We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding.

Schedule

Start: 1/20/2021 (Wed) 18:00 PST
End: 1/20/2021 (Wed) 21:59 PST

Maintenance time may be shortened or prolonged depending on progress of the maintenance

Objective

Implementing data for upcoming events.

Replacing the "GHOST IN THE SHELL Codex" items you possess with "Parchment Pieces".
If this process is not completed within the scheduled maintenance period, the items will be replaced after the maintenance.

Alter-World: Battle Tower

A new game mode in which players battle other players by using their Armament and demons.
Improve your High Score to advance Leagues.

Leagues and Divisions

In Battle Tower, players will be matched with other players of the same League to form Divisions.
Do battle with other members of your Division to earn Scores, the sum of which will decide your place in the rankings.

Rank high in the rankings and be Promoted to start in a higher League next week. After 4 weeks of competition, the League you end up in will be your final result.

If you do not sortie during the battle period, you will be demoted. [1/25 Added]

Rewards

Players can receive rewards that include Gems, Potential Shards and Blood Crystals according to their weekly Divisional rankings and their final result separately.

Potential Shard:
Item used to Unleash Brand Potential. [Details]

Blood Crystal:
Item used to level up an Armament's skill. [Details]

Registration

Register for entry during the preparation phase.
Parties for both Battles and Defense need to be Registered before competition starts.
The player can register multiple Battle parties with a League.

If enhancements or changes were made to party members after the party has already been registered, you need to register the party again in order to have the changes be applied to Battle Tower.

If no parties were Registered during the Preparation phase, you will not be able to participate once Battles have started. So don't forget to Register!

Battles

Once Battles have started, you will use your Registered party or parties to fight.

The Score you receive in Battles will be greatly influenced by the Side Goals you achieve and the optional Handicaps you select.

Side Goals: Special goals that will give you bonus points when cleared during battle. Requirements will vary with each period.

Handicap:
Handicaps can alter a Battle's Score greatly but changes the rules of Battle. Players can select Handicaps they would like to apply to themselves. Handicaps will vary with each period.

Battles in Battle Tower are different than traditional battles in the following ways.

The player's avatar is immune to Mortal effects.

The party that starts the Battle first will start with 2MP, the other party will start with 5MP.

The player will automatically lose the Battle after 10 turns have passed.

Battles can be decided by an avatar being downed.

Avatars have extra resistance to all damage (including fractional damage) based on the number of surviving allies in their party.

Unleash Brand Potential

Players will be able to Unleash the potential effects of Brands at Pandemonium. Can only be performed on 5☆ and 6☆ Brands.

Unleash will cost materials (Brands or Potential Shards) and Macca. Potential Shards can be obtained as a reward for participating in Battle Tower. Success rate will vary depending on the amount and Brand type of the materials you spend.

If successful, an effect will be added at random with random stats.

The added effects may be weaker than the effect which Brands usually have. The added effect will not improve by increasing the level of the Brand.

Unleash can be performed on Unleashed Brands again for a new effect. When successful, you will be able to choose between the old effect and the new one.

Avatar Appearance

An option to change your avatar's appearance on your profile screen will be added.

This will not change your avatar's abilities, just the outward appearance. It also will not affect your progress in the game.

The change in appearance will be applied to the Story cutscenes, battle cut-ins, voiced dialogue, the 3D model in Alter-World and certain elements of the UI.
Some of the dialogue in certain cutscenes are not currently compatible with this function, but this will be addressed in a future update.

The appearance of Friends will be updated after communications with the game server.

Resolving issues.

The following issues will be resolved or alleviated.

Motoko Kusanagi incorrectly displayed when advancing a Wave.[Details]

Boss character's skill effect inconsistent with skill description.[Details]
