[03/31] Bomb Model Kanna, Sol & Elphelt Buffs, and Ken Banner!

Overview

Hello, Epic 7 players! Today is a very big and sudden update that came a day earlier than I’m used to (but I’m guessing it’s because it didn’t want to be dropped on April Fool’s Day). We’ve got a lot of stuff waiting for you, including a brand new connection hero, Bomb Model Kanna! There’s going to be a great new crafting event where you can build the perfect Lv.85 armor tailed to your needs, as well. Sol and Elphelt will be getting buffs, along with the Guilty Gear banner being rerun as a triple limited! There’s a ton more to go through, but you’ll just have to see for yourself!
