The following changes & fixes are being applied in the 16.04 Release on Thursday, February 25th, at 3 PM PST.

[Skirmish]

STARTS: Friday, February 27th at 10 AM PST
ENDS: Monday, March 2nd at 10 AM PST
STORE CLOSES: Tuesday, March 3rd at 10 AM PST

In this Skirmish, you’ll be able to earn:

• Medjai Tech, Tokens, and Parts

Earn the next Arc II Hero, Medjai, the Equinox Infantry Hero in this month’s Skirmish, and use it to dominate in the upcoming monthly Event: RONINS.

Five thousand years ago, a group of desperate survivors marched into the desert. Now emerges a Hero, a leader of the forsaken, a wiseman among wanderers, an enforcer of justice, and a keeper of ancient knowledge. Medjai has read the stars and saw that Equinox was to be his legacy. His ancestors watch over him, as he watches over the Nomads.

Deployable Units

• Eidolon + Omicron
• Firefly + Pele
• Chronophage + Minuet
• Frostpiercer + Simo
• Macedon
• Tachyon

Use Eidolon, Firefly, Chronophage, Frostpiercer, Macedon, and Tachyon units and their Heroes, Omicron, Pele, Minuet, and Simo against Descendants to play through the Recruit set or the Officer set to earn skirmish XP. Sets can be completed in any order and pay out a bonus XP Cache. The Officer set will test your might but will pay out more XP than the Recruit set. Choose the set that best fits your power level. You can hit the targets multiple times, and wins will count towards future set completions, so you won't be penalized for hitting a target again!

[Operation: Ronins]

STARTS: Thursday, March 5th at 10 AM PST
ENDS: Wednesday, March 11th at 10 AM PST
STORE CLOSES: Thursday, March 12th at 10 AM PST

In this event, you’ll be able to earn:

• Nomad Warpaints - Black & Green

In search of an advanced Mech turned traitor, Ryu Kai scouts have flooded the sector, looking for anyone who may be harboring this fugitive. Soon the attention comes to Akiko, who is a known dissident. The Ryu-Kai also seem convinced that Equinox satellites are in fact still active, and sending down signals that caused this mechanical warrior to defect.

In Operation: Ronins, the Arc II unit, the Nomad, might catch you blindsided, and you can earn it in the Event Store. Equipped with experimental Equinox Mirage Cloaks, Nomads are able to mitigate incoming fire by spatially shifting out of harm's way at the right time. 

In this event, you’ll also be able to earn:

• Nomad Warpaints - Black & Green
• Nomad Upgrade Tokens and Logistics
• Medjai Tech, Tokens and Parts
