April Fools - 'Fractured Connexion': GFL x Arknights Collboration Event

As you might have guessed, this was in fact an April Fools joke, as sadly HG and MICA as unlikely to work together any time soon. Hopefully you enjoyed our little bit of fun!

I'd like to give a serious shout-out to the Arknights team for all the help with this, as well as everyone on the GFL team who helped put it together. 

Teaser

A serendipitous security contract in a White Zone finds itself in the hands of Griffin and Kryuger Private Military Contractor. Soon they’re thrust into heated conflict between the city’s defenders and the anti-relic terrorist group “Pandora”, as they unleash a new biological weapon. Griffin must work together with the local pharmaceutical company “Rhodes Island” and their operators to find a cure to the mysterious poison emulating the effects of ELID and keep it from contaminating the White Zone city.

What's this?

At last, the wishes of players have been granted, as MICA team has announced a surprise collaboration event with Hypergryph and Arknights! 

For this unfamiliar with Arknights, it is a Tower Defense gacha, following the paramilitary arm of Rhodes Island Pharmaceuticals. For more information about Arknights, I will point you to the Arknights Gamepress section

Arknights has been given the full GFL collab treatment, with a fully-featured event including story and combat stages, and likely a new minigame, along with four new Collab characters, and a collection of Skins. 

In a rarity for Girls Frontline, Arknights is running a simultaneous collaboration event, which is being covered here on Gamepress by the Arknights Team. For all of the information about that, please see their event guide: https://gamepress.gg/arknights/event-banner-hub/fractured-connexion-cn-event-page!

Units/Skins

Staring off easy, this event features a number of Extra Rarity Dolls, and for the first time since DJMax an Extra Rarity Fairy. All three Dolls come with Special Equipment and Skins. 


Amiya will feature the Oripathy Bands as her Special Equipment. Don't let them get damaged Commanders, the consequences might be dire!

Amiya's Special Equipment, the D12 Explosives
+5 Damage
+20 Evasion

The 6th AR Team member, W brings the D12 Explosives as her Special Equipment! Perhaps don't let her share a Dorm with SOPMOD, the base might not survive the fallout!

W'sSpecial Equipment, the D12 Explosives
+12 Damage
+14 Accuracy

Exusai's Special Equipment is the Laterano Halo...although quite how someone removed it from her head remains to be seen!

The final crossover character is Kal'sit. She's not much of one for combat, and instead prefers to provide support as a Tactical Fairy. Having taken offense to the mere existence of the Taunt Fairy, Kal'tsit provides battlefield support with her unique summon, Mont3r. Be careful not to earn her ire Commanders!

Collab Skins

As with previously Collaboration Events, this one adds several Skins, one each for the Extra Rarity Dolls and one for Kalina!

These can be purchased from the shop for 1288 Gems each!
