Otherwise: There won't be content justifying the need for Radi Augments until at least the release of Malignant Dark Falz Vael. Sitting out the FOMO may safe you a buck or two.

A screenshot showing some of the contents of the AC Scratch Ticket "AC Support Item Select May '25".

Radi Augments have been released. They replace Anaddi and provide a 1% Potency Increase as well of a 0,5% Potency Floor Increase.

Should you upgrade? If you not have Anaddi yet: Probably a good idea, as the administration seems not interested to bring those back.

In the same Headline in March 2025, the administration already told us that we can expect 13*s to arrive in June. The Legendios buff will probably happen at the same time. It would be weird for them to make 13* Dead on Arrival. So Legendios will likely be weaker.
#PSO2NGS #PSO2

The upgrade/potential buff promised for Legendios in the March 2025 Headline Wave was not mentioned for the duration of May in the April 2025 Headline.
What that means is that Legendios is likely dead.

Ignoring the argument that Wix may be treated "conditional", Abandac is already only ~2,8% stronger than Attack/Fatale.
It doesn't sound like a smart idea to build Abandac for the same or less DPS than Attack/Fatale after this update, when S-Augments or Duo Stat Potency is required.

A screenshot showing the "NGS Headline Wave" operator Yui read a dev letter in the April 25th 2025 Episode.

Fixa Attack, Fatale, Termina, Wix and Blastor will receive buffs to address how easy Abandac will become to make with an 8th Augment Slot in June.
Fixa Wix will explicitly be stronger than Fixa Abandac. A Ranger using Blight Rounds or Elemental Resistance on Fo/Te is always available.

As promised yesterday, MDFS will add Majis Dread Keeper which allows Abandac to be done without the usage of any S Augments.
Unfortunately, the Leciel Administration decided to kill Abandac within the same Headline.

SEGA will be suspending players who have used the bug of EX 1 Augments showing in searches for EX 2 Augments in order to list klirodim weapons with EX1 augs for insanely high prices.

Stay weary of this bug until it's patched, I don't want you guys getting scammed! #PSO2NGS #PSO2

As has been the case on previous occasions, the observations made by the Intelligence Division have been borne out by subsequent events.

People will find edge cases to exploit it. They also do.

It is expected that ARKS will release enhancements to the combat protocols for our Force Mains in the forthcoming hours. It is probable that Techters and Bouncers will also benefit from these adjustments.

A screenshot showing a section of the Patchnotes listed at https://pso2.com/players/news/i_maintenance_20241204/. Quote: The following items have been added to the Augment Capsules product list in the Item Lab under Exchange Enhancement Materials: - C/Gran Gladia Soul LC - C/Lux Halphinale LC - C/Glan Gigas Maste LC - C/Grand Dread Keeper II LC - C/Giga Triyal LC The following items have been added to the product list of the Exchange Shop: N-Weapons Badge Exchange: - C/Glan Gigas Maste - C/Grand Dread Keeper II - N-Weapons Badge A

It is anticipated that the Nameless City will experience an escalation in the level of risk in the near future. Consequently, ARKS Defenders are advised to exercise caution.

However, it is further postulated that the events will include new budget equipment, in addition to "N-Weapon Badge B".

We have been made aware of instances of communication that have been inadvertently disclosed. Our sources indicate that the video will present approximately two to three minutes of comedic commentary from individuals attired in Rappy Suits, ostensibly promoting a sojourn in the Nameless City.

Making you wonder if Sega is trying to do everything to not bring Reaction Emotes back... haha.

Signed a deal with the devil in between those images ;)

https://x.com/Ship615452876/status/1859217082732486754 The image shows a screenshot of a Japanese Player who allegedly dropped * Ruine Megalith Glaive in this new Limited Time Quest!

There are rumors implying that all the Ruine Camos can also drop in this LTQ. This might be a good source income!

There are currently no signs of Rank 2 and Rank 3 having exclusive or better drops. As such, members have been suggesting to farm Rank 1 if you are in this LTQ just for the drops.

A look into a player's Material Storage. It seems that the player has a lot of Domina Augments!

"N-Weapon Badge A" renders the current Limited Time Urgent Quest Campaign for Magnificent Dark Falz Solus useless!

The LTQ also drops ALL the ingredients required to make Halphinale and Lux Halphinale. If you still require this augment the quest might be worth farming.

The LTQ is not to mistaken with the "high-difficulty" boss rush LTQ that does feature all four bosses and will arrive on the next maintenance!
This LTQ is actually easy and features many valuable drops!

This Ruine Angel is on Level 94 and carries around a Bomlode Trap, that will become active once it suffered from a physical or elemental down.

This Solo Limited Time Quest has you fight against one of the four Ruine Bosses in the rotation! After clearing the quest, you will gain access to a higher difficulty/rank (up to Rank 3) in which the level of the boss enemy is increased as well of additional buffs/debuffs are being granted.

The image shows the final example for a Nonogram Puzzle situation. In this final example, we can color the field marked by the mouse cursor as all remaining possible locations for the "2" in this column restrict the "6" in such a way that it has be located at this field. Would you have caught this?

The Intelligence Division wishes good luck! At the end, solving Nonograms is all about experience and using the rules and tips to your advantage.

The image is a continuation about rules and tips for Nonogram Puzzles. Keeping track of guaranteed gaps is just as important as keeping track of guaranteed colored fields! They can be useful to decrease the size of rows and columns into much more manageable areas, or even split them into sections which might gave away the location of a new colored area! In this example, we may not be able to identify the column "2" immediately, but we can rule out the two fields at the top since there is no outcome where they have to be colored.

The image is a continuation about rules and tips for Nonogram Puzzles. If a gap splits a row or column in such a way that a number can only fit into one of sections, then it has to be in this section. In this example, the third column with the "3" is uniquely identified as there is only one section of the column where it can still fit.

This image is a continuation of rules and tips for Nonogram Puzzles. All the previous tips are more than sufficient to deal with Nonograms appearing in the Leciel Exploration. However, for harder Nonograms you might need to use more advanced tricks to gain any information you can get. Multi Number Overlapping might helps. In this 15x15 Nonogram, lets take a look at the column "9 2". We know that the 2 will end up taking away at least 3 blocks of space (2 Colored, 1 Gap). Using this information, we know that only 15-3=12 fields are available for the 9 to be located in. By checking all the possible overlaps for this 12 fields, we can identify 6 fields that need to be belonging to the 9, regardless where the 2 is exactly located. Whenever the 2 is actually located there is something we have to find out later. Should it be located further up, it would keep restricting the space the 9 could be located in and increase the amount of information that we received. This does work with an infinite amount of numbers. In case of "1 1 8" we know that the 1's will use up at least 4 fields of space, leaving 11 fields where the 8 could be located in. By checking for all possible overlaps, we can identify 5 fields that need to belong to the 8. If the 1's are further down than we assume in our thought experiment, it would mean that the 8 also needs to extent down. If not, the 8 may extent upwards or down and we require more information, such from the rows.

The image is a continuation of rules and tips for Nonogram Puzzles. Some Nonogram Puzzles may contain pre-defined gaps or a pattern that can be taken advantage of once recognized. In this example, the Nonogram shows a popular Paper-and-pencil game. Once you realized that, you can start coloring fields in without actually having to solve the Nonogram the "normal" way!

Here are some additional and advanced tips that may assist you in your Nonogram Adventure beyond the realm of the Leciel Exploration!

The image shows rules and tips for Nonograms. Nonograms ("Picross") are a traditional Japanese Puzzle with only one possible solution. The numbers displayed for columns and rows show how many fields need to be colored in succession, following in order. "3 1" would mean that 3 fields need to be colored in succession, followed by at least one gap and then 1 colored field, read left to right or top to bottom. Without the gap, it would simply be a "4". The other way around it would be a "1 3". There can also be gaps before and after the first/last number!

The image is a continuation of the rules and tips for Nonograms. Be aware of the size of your Nonogram! If a rows or columns numbers and at least required gaps equal the size of the board, the row or column only has one possible solution! "5" would only have one possible solution as all 5 fields of a row or column would have to be colored. "3 1" has only one possible solution as there is only one way how the fields can be colored in order for the 3 & 1 to fit into the row or column.

The image is a continuation for the rules and tips about Nonograms. If numbers are bigger than half the size of the board but not big enough to uniquely identify the colored spaces, you can use the overlapping of all possible solutions to identify at least some of the colored fields which might assists you in the future. For example: The "4" can only have two possible locations where it can be located in. They both share the 3 fields in the center, which is why we can color them in. The "3" can only have three possible locations where it can be located in. They all share the one field in the center, which is why we can color it in.

The image is a continuation of the rules and tips for Nonograms. Coloring Fields next to edges or known gaps is extremely powerful, as a number can only extent into one direction. In this example, the "3" is uniquely identified as it can only extent upwards until 3 fields in succession have been colored. The "2" is also uniquely identified as it can only extent downwards because of the gap until 2 fields in succession have been colored.

Nonograms do only have one possible solution and may also be known as "Picross" to a Western Audience. Here are some tips that might assist you in future Leciel Explorations!

An image showing a bullet point list about the properties of regular and EX Augment Transfers in PSO2:NGS. # All Augment Transfer - Transfers all Augments, including empty slots and EX Augments. There is no way for you to select or handpick. - Consumes an **N-Augment Transfer Pass** and **N-Meseta** - You may only transfer from one weapon to another weapon, or one armor to another armor - Works regardless of series or weapon type - The Base/Target Weapon of the transfer needs an equal or higher amount of Augment slots available than the Material Weapon - The Material Weapon loses all it's augments but remains available, like for selling a high Fixa. # EX Augment Transfer - Transfers all EX Augments. There is no way for you to select or handpick. - Consumes an **N-Augment Transfer Pass** and **N-Meseta** (Yes, you did read that right.) - You may only transfer from one weapon to another weapon, ~~or one armor to another armor~~ - Works regardless of series or weapon type - The Base/Target Weapon of the transfer needs the same amount of EX Augments than the Material Weapon - Keep that in mind for setups that are using only 1 or 2 EX Augments on a Weapon under certain circumstances, such as Duel Quest Gear. - This implies that you first have to transfer EX Augments onto a Non-Eredim Weapon using an **All Augment Transfer** before you can swap them out with another set of EX Augments using an **EX Augment Transfer**. - The Material Weapon loses all it's augments but remains available, like for selling a high Fixa.

A continuation of the last image containing exceptions for Augment Transfers on the Eredim Series. # Exceptions for the Eredim Weapon Series and Common misconceptions To promote the release of EX Augments in NGS, Sega has lifted the restriction of requiring an **N-Augment Transfer Pass** when transferring of an Eredim as a Material Weapon. This counts both for the **All Augment Transfer** and the **EX Augment Transfer**. This has caused a lot of misconceptions over the time, especially lately with the release of the Exelio Weapon Series. As such, let me write it down more directly: - **Ex Augment Transfers are not always free. This is only because you will usually transfer off an Eredim Weapon.** - Transferring towards an Exelio Weapon as Target/Base Weapon is not free. Most people who upgrade to Exelio previously used an Eredim and now attempted an All Augment Transfer, which has led to this misconception showing up.

For details please refer to our overview regarding the the differences and common misconceptions about regular and EX Augment Transfer.

The findings make us hope that ARKS operatives will be able to find future EX Augments (such as in December) on Eredim or weapons with similar bonuses.

Time for another update!
The past months allowed us to gain a lot of insights regarding how the transfer of augments between equipment actually works. It turns out that the pass consumption criteria is not tied towards the EX Augments, but the Eredim Weapon Series is the reason for free transfers.

A table showing how much Battle Power (BP) in PSO2:NGS grants a Potency Bonus towards the Mobile Cannon Mechanic. The values list as follows: 0-1299 - 1,5x (+50%) 1300-1699 - 1,9x (+90%) 1700-1999 - 2,1x (+110%) 2000-2399 - 2,3x (+130%) 2400-2799 - 2,6x (+160%) 2800-3199 - 3,1x (+210%) 3200-3699 - 3,6x (+260%) 3700-3900 - 4,1x (+310%) 3901-4100 - 5,3x (+430%) 4101+ - 6,5x (+550%)

Additionally, the Mobile Cannon has received massive buffs towards Potency Scaling for higher Battle Power values, which might explain why the original Dark Falz Dalion encounter has become a lot easier than before.
