That said, we're getting ready to celebrate the North American server's one-year launch. The other servers get some highly anticipated characters next week too. There's a lot on the burner.

Dynamo Joins Mega Man X DiVE Next Week
Next week, the global version of Mega Man X DiVE's NA server sees the arrival of none other than Mega Man X5/X6's famous mercenary —Dynamo.
Dynamo's first active skill is D Blade. It launches a D Blade to deal 181.44% damage to all targets in its path. Once the D Blade penetrates a target, damage reduces to 25%. The D Blade will return to your location after traveling a specific distance. It can even move through landscapes and barriers.
His second active skill is Tsubame Gaeshi, which inflicts 362.88% attack damage to targets within range. The player becomes immune to all damage while slashing.
Dynamo's banner will be available for one week. What's more? The NA server will receive a new X DiVE Maximum Race event with Aqua Buster memories as the primary reward, and the fourth Boss Rush with Pyro Executioner memories.
The EU server, meanwhile, is moving on to the second week of the "Star Force" event. The LATAM server will begin week two of the "Summer Treasure Hunt".
