Summer's finally here yet again, and the second annual Summer Solstice event is now under way! This event will run until July 9! You can obtain a handful of new Summer-themed items, and kick around an unspecific ball in the Sportsball metagame! Of course, the items from last year are returning too. Better yet, all of the Summer Solstice items are now in their own gashapon machine, so it'll be easier to get them!... Well, "easier" in the sense that you're guaranteed to get Summer Solstice items.
All players who log in during the Summer Solstice event will also get a FREE Summer Throwback KOunter!*
* This KOunter will be untradable.
There's other non-Summer stuff too, namely a lot of balancing changes, so be sure to read those.
