Netmarble has rolled out a fresh update for its character-collecting mobile AFK RPG, The King of Fighters AFK, introducing new fighters Ash Crimson and Zero (Clone).

Ash Crimson arrives on the scene wielding green flames with that signature cynical and arrogant flair. Featuring unique skills like 'Pluviôse' and 'Ventôse', the character also brings a 'Corrosion' synergy to the battlefield. You have until August 19 to grab Ash Crimson through the pickup event, which coincides with a broader event focusing on other 'Corrosion' synergy fighters.

Joining the roster is Zero (Clone), a fighter boasting Special synergy and the Cosmos attribute. Zero (Clone) makes use of techniques such as 'Bakuretsuzan' and 'Zanpu-Yenpa Shoha'. You can secure this character via premium summoning or by visiting the League Match shop. A host of additional events will follow in due course.

Mark your calendars: the Lucky Elf event runs from August 10 to 14, offering a chance to encounter the Legend supporter Ron. Following that, the Tropical Island event will take place from August 13 to 26, featuring the debut of Legend pets Blaze and Popsi.
