Overview of "Gaming Figure Season 2

The "Gaming Figure Season 2" is a product that allows players to load the ID chip-equipped figures of the "Pilot," who plays a key role in battles, and the "Support," who carries the battle to an advantage, into the "Lead Controller" and use them to dramatically improve the operability and game-making capabilities of the game. This is a product. The lineup includes "Shikinami Asuka Langley" and "Ryonami Kotone," an original character from "Eva BF. Each is priced at 750 yen (excluding tax).

By setting the "gaming figure" on both shoulders of the "lead controller," data is instantly reflected in the game, allowing for super-fast "pilot" and "support" setting. Each character has a different effect, so by loading the right figure at the right time for the right battle scene, the player can take advantage of the battle. When not in use, the figure can be displayed as a stand-alone figure.

Lead Controller" and "Gaming Figure Season 2" will give you an edge in the game!
There are other advantages to using the "Lead Controller" and "Gaming Figure Season 2" as well.

Increases the probability of obtaining the character you want!
In regular games, Eva and characters can be obtained through in-game gachas, but you cannot control what is given out in the gacha. However, if you purchase a box of "gaming figures", you can get all the characters you want.

The "Lead Controller" allows you to enjoy more interlocking games!
By using the Lead Controller, the app and the gaming figure can communicate with each other and activate character effects, allowing players to enjoy a more realistic gaming experience that is physically linked to the game as well as in-game.

The same character can start from the rank-added state!
The same character has a different starting rank for characters obtained from the in-game gacha and for "gaming figure" characters. Even if a character is developed from rank 1 in the game, the "Gaming Figure" character starts from rank 3. This allows the player to gain an advantage in battle from the start.

Support during battle can be used without restrictions!
During normal battles, there is a limit of 5 characters that can be used for support, but with "Gaming Figures", the number of support characters is removed, allowing unlimited support.
