Don’t forget to stop by the two special floors themed after the Kabuki District Festival, and even a three-player multiplayer dungeon specially themed after the big bang hit.
Players who log in during this event will receive a pull from the Gintama Memorial Egg Machine, completely free of charge. Players can also pull from the Gintama Egg Machine for 5 Magic Stones throughout the collab. For those eager for more, there are three special bundles available. During the length of the collab, players can purchase the 20 Magic Stones + ★6 Gintama Egg Machine ($19.99 USD), which guarantees a mighty ★6 Rarity character!
