LINE: Gundam Wars Celebrates 9.5 Years of Excitement

The popular mobile game "LINE: Gundam Wars," developed by Bandai Namco Entertainment in collaboration with LINE Yahoo, has reached an impressive milestone of 9.5 years since its launch. To mark this occasion, the game is rolling out a variety of events and campaigns that fans won’t want to miss. One standout addition is a new unit called the Joker MS, which has been designed to significantly change the battleground dynamics.

Joker MS: A Game-Changer in Battles

With this update, players can now incorporate the Joker MS into their formations during key game modes like the Battle Arena, Grand Arena, Friend Battles, and Crown Battles. This unit comes with unique features:

• - Allied Unit Replacement: When a player's mobile suit is shot down, Joker MS will be deployed as a replacement.
• - Special Ultra Move: Upon entering the battle, it immediately unleashes a unique special move known as the JOKER Special Attack.
• - Damage Resistance: Only skills targeting the player or Joker MS can inflict damage, and it consumes HP as a cost to use skills; if its HP reaches zero, it will retreat from battle.

Note: Unlike standard MS, Joker MS possesses three startup skills and one regular skill. It will not conduct standard attacks but features motion for one standard skill and its two special attacks.

Special Rewards: Get the Joker MS 'Gundam'

During this celebratory period, players can log in to LINE: Gundam Wars to receive a unit design blueprint for the Joker MS 'Gundam'. These blueprints will be sent directly to players’ present boxes for redemption. Once received, players can obtain the Joker MS 'Gundam' by tapping the designated unit icon in their inventory.
