Look, let's be honest, Nexon's sibling in arms Netmarble has rolled out a fresh 5-star character named Vivian in its latest update.

For the uninitiated, Vivian is a returning icon from the original Monster Taming classic, having comfortably snatched the top spot in the pre-launch popularity poll.

In this iteration, the character acts as the bunny girl mascot of the Fluffy Tails theatre troupe, dazzling audiences with theatrical flair. As a 5-star Fire support unit, Vivian cranks up Fire damage output and applies Fire elemental debuffs to seriously supercharge party synergy.

Naturally, an event titled 'Eternal Joy Bunny Girl' is running for three weeks to celebrate the occasion. You can grind out missions and event dungeons to hoard currency for summon tickets and progression materials. There is also a brand-new Epic Quest named 'Collector of Desires' if you fancy diving deeper into Vivian's backstory.

During a livestream on September 2, the development team laid out their roadmap for the second half of the year. The upcoming 1.4 update scheduled for September 30 will introduce Episode 7 alongside a brand-new region dubbed the Gabar Archipelago. A 0.5-anniversary character rerun and celebratory events will accompany the drop.

Looking further ahead, version 1.5 will revamp the friend system and bring in a ranking honour system, whilst version 1.6 aims to deliver holiday and New Year special stories, character epilogues, alongside updated affinity and interaction features.

You can check out all the nitty-gritty details on the official website.
