Three New Heroes Debuting in #C.O.M.P.A.S.S.

marumain April 25, 2017 News

Since we last reported on #C.O.M.P.A.S.S. [COMbat Providence AnalysiS System], two brand-new playable Hero characters have been added to the smash hit mobile game, and a third one is about to make her debut! We know that you’re dying to find out more about them, so let’s get straight to it!

Gustav Heydrich

Voice Actor: Kazuhiro Yamaji
Illustrator: Ryuusee
Profile: A ruthless war commander, clad from head to toe in biochemical weaponry. As an ally of Ouka Tadaomi, he seeks to unite the world under one banner.
“I will show you the true meaning of ‘darkness’ in this world…”
In Gameplay: Gustav is a tank Hero, and unlike other tanks, he moves very fast and is built for offense. Gustav also boasts the highest status out of all Heroes in the game in every category. The trade-off, however, is that he’s constantly sustaining damage while in battle, so players need to think about how to offset this with health-restoring cards.

Nikola Tesla

Voice Actor: Ayumu Murase
Illustrator: apapico
Profile: A young genius inventor brimming with curiosity. As the youngest of five siblings, he enjoys mischief-making.
“I just love the look of bewilderment on people’s faces! I wonder, what kind of face will you show me?”
In Gameplay: Tesla is a sprinter Hero who specializes in using the game’s trap cards; in his hands, a trap card’s effect lasts 5 seconds longer than it would if used by anyone else. Furthermore, whenever Tesla successfully captures a portal, he lays traps around it that will snare any opponents who get too close, subsequently filling his Hero Skill gauge.
Theme Song: “Tesla wa Yume no Naka” by TOKOTOKO

Here’s a video showing how Tesla plays in the game!

Hatsune Miku

Voice Actor: VOCALOID Hatsune Miku (Saki Fujita)
Illustrator: KEI
Profile: Our third new Hero has no profile, but she frankly doesn’t need one! That’s right, from April 27th through May 20th, Hatsune Miku herself will officially be a limited-time playable Hero in the world of #C.O.M.P.A.S.S.! In order to unlock her, players will have to earn (or buy with bitcoins) some in-game “collaboration gacha,” which will have double the chance of dropping during Miku’s availability period. For every 50 of these gacha that players earn, they will receive one “Hatsune Miku Hero Gacha Ticket,” which will unlock the digital diva for use in #C.O.M.P.A.S.S. matches!
In Gameplay: Miku will be a sprinter Hero with above-average attack power and stamina, but rather low defense. Her Hero Skill, “Starting My Solo Live♪,” and ability, “Healing Voice,” will greatly heal all nearby allies.
Theme Song: “Tell Your World” by kz

Throughout April 27th to May 20th, players will also have the chance to collect and use these limited-time, Miku-themed cards for their matches, each of which has its own special effect and strategy for use in a bout.

In addition to her familiar V2 outfit, Miku will also be getting alternate skins in the form of her V4 look, Append design, Sakura version, and even her Voidoll cosplay!

Don’t worry, Miku won’t be the only one getting in on the dress-up fun in #C.O.M.P.A.S.S.! With the collaboration announcement also came the new Miku-themed looks that all of the original 10 Hero characters in the game will be able to wear to battle!

Finally, you can check out some in-game footage of Miku in action here!

NHN Playart plans on making more announcements about Miku and beyond on their Niconico Cho Kaigi page on April 29th and 30th! VNN will be sure to keep you posted on any and all updates!
