Com2uS Holdings is rolling out a 1.5th anniversary update for Soul Strike.

First up, the PvP content 'Companion Arena' is now open. Players deploy five companions to face off against others. Three entry tickets are provided daily, and players can purchase additional entries using Aether to challenge up to 5 times. There are six tiers ranging from Bronze to Challenger, with promotions and demotions decided weekly based on points earned.

The weekly reset every Monday determines tier rewards, granting players Aether and the new currency, 'Victory Coins'. Victory Coins can be spent at a dedicated shop to exchange for items like Crowley’s Sigil or White Knight weapon and equipment chests.

'Unique Transcendence' for companions and skills has also been introduced. This applies to five companions, including Akari and Bianca, and five skills like Hydra and Absolute Zero. Once the relevant companion or skill reaches 10-star awakening, players can evolve them further using 'Dimensional Memory Crystals' for companions and 'Dimensional Elemental Crystals' for skills.

A new Mythic companion, Ruel, has also joined the fray. Ruel dishes out heavy damage with the fire-attribute skill 'Red Dash'. Furthermore, various quality-of-life improvements have been applied to content such as Soul Spirits, Elemental Abyss, and Tablets.

The 1.5th-anniversary event is also underway. By completing mission objectives like slaying monsters, summoning soul equipment, or clearing daily dungeons, players can earn 1.5th-anniversary roadmap points. These points can be spent along the roadmap to exchange for companions, skills, and soul equipment.

A 14-day attendance event will run until the 26th of next month, rewarding players with 1.5th-anniversary boxes—which contain Mythic choice summon tickets and dungeon keys—alongside Crowley’s Sigil and roadmap points.
