UPDATE NOTICE: JULY 7

Attention Pilots:

[p align="start"]Mecha BREAK will undergo scheduled maintenance starting July 7 at 12:00 (UTC+8). Login and gameplay will be unavailable during this period. Estimated downtime: 6 hours (subject to change—check official announcements for updates). Upon completion, all Pilots who log in within 14 days of maintenance will receive a routine maintenance package via mail (1,000 Mission Tokens, not counted toward seasonal accumulation).

[p align="start"]Below are the main changes in this update:

[p align="start"]

Striker Balance Adjustments

[p align="start"]

PANTHER

• Main Weapon: Lance

  • Adjusted the on-hit effect: from preventing target's Fluid Armor Regen for 6 sec, changed to applying** Structural Breach** effect on the target for 4 sec.

  • [p align="start"]Structural Breach: Blocks Fluid Armor Regen and reduces incoming repair effectiveness by 50%.

[p align="start"]

FREYR

• Sidearm: Complex Shield

  • Fully charged Complex Shield no longer auto-fires the plasma beam on release. Now requires a second press within 0.5s of dropping the shield to fire.

[p align="start"]

NARUKAMI

• Main Weapon: Charged Beam Cannon (Close-Range Mode)

  • Optimized projectile hit detection to improve weapon accuracy.

[p align="start"]

AQUILA

• Main Weapon: Mobile Beam Cannon (Close-Range Mode)

  • Optimized projectile hit detection to improve weapon accuracy.

• Aux 2: Airborne Kit

  • When airborne, Energy Regen remains at 2400/s; when on the ground, Energy Regen is adjusted from 2400/s to 3000/s.

[p align="start"]

NORNE

• Aux 1: High-Explosive Arrow

  • Damage: 19000 → 20000.

[p align="start"]

[p align="start"]

Operation VERGE and Ace Arena Ranked Mode

[p align="start"]

[p align="start"]Tier Point calculation rules for Operation VERGE and Ace Arena Ranked Mode have been adjusted: Pilots in Master tier and above will receive a certain point deduction reduction based on their Merit in the match when they are defeated.

• 8+ Merit: penalty reduced by 10 points.

• 6–7.9 Merit: penalty reduced by 5 points.

[p align="start"]

Striker Stats

[p align="start"]

Stat display optimization

[p align="start"]After this update, maximum stat values will be clearly displayed in the Striker Stats List. This cap rule reflects existing stat limits, and actual effects remain unchanged.

[p align="start"]When a Striker's stats exceed the limit through mods or performance boosts, any excess boost will have no effect. The specific stats are as follows:

• Structure

  • Blast DEF can be increased up to 70%.

  • Ballistic DEF can be increased up to 70%.

  • Physical DEF can be increased up to 70%.

  • Energy DEF can be increased up to 70%.

[p align="start"]

Striker stat limit adjustments

To maintain long-term gameplay health and stat system integrity, minimum stat floors are being introduced this patch.

[p align="start"]When a Striker's stats exceed these limits via Mods or Upgrades, the excess will not apply.

• Energy Stats

  • Energy Reactivation Threshold (Depleted): min 5%

  • Energy Depletion Cooldown: min 0.5s

• Weapon Stats

  • Cooldown: reducible to 30% of base value, floor of 2s

  • Reload Time (Manual): reducible to 30% of base value, floor of 0.5s

  • Reload Time (Auto): reducible to 30% of base value, floor of 0.5s

Shop Rotation

• Items in General Shop > Limited Edition > Limited Set will be rotated after the version update. Existing sets and accessories will be removed, and returning sets and their corresponding themed accessories will be rotated in.

• **Ace Recruitment **will undergo a sale rotation after the version update:

  • Sale ends: STRIKER ARCHIVES: WELKIN CUSTOM,** SERENITH MK-III**,** INFERNO X-2**

  • Sale starts:** STRIKER ARCHIVES: PANTHER CUSTOM**,** ALPHARD MK-I**,** NARUKAMI TYPE-S**

Season Extension Notice

[p align="start"]

[p align="start"]To allow more time for seasonal content and gameplay refinements, Season 4 will be extended from its original July 21 end date to August 4.

[p align="start"]During the extension, all current season content — modes, missions, leaderboards, and reward tracks — will remain active. Matrix Contract will also be extended accordingly.

[p align="start"]Compensation details will be announced separately. Thank you for your patience, Pilots.

System Adjustments and Fixes

[p align="start"]

System Adjustments

• Optimized the visual effect of the **Nebula Radiance **Frame: the effect no longer obstructs the Striker readiness score on the Operation STORM sortie page.

• Optimized the flow of the Basic Tutorial for FREYR so that the tutorial content matches the current Complex Shield mechanics.

• Optimized the refresh button's display effect in the Spectral Nexus' Upgrade interface.

• In Spectral Nexus, the Upgrade page will now refresh at most one Emergency Repair Chip to avoid duplicate repair options.

• Once scheduled maintenance begins, any ongoing Spectral Nexus run will force-settle at the next scene transition (e.g., moving from Level 9 to Level 10). Please plan your sessions accordingly. Thank you for your understanding.
