Motoko Kusanagi arrives as a pet: her active skill hacks a target\u0026#39;s cyberbrain, applies Control Deprivation for 10 seconds, then locks onto weak points and fires. Data gathered that way feeds Field Sync, which passes a damage boost to allies.\u003c/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Tachikoma mount switches among five paint types and can fire a wire hook to leap at targets or slide along the ground. In the Mimic Battlefield dungeon, four players each control a Tachikoma, attack other players and monsters to collect Extreme Gear, and level up; final rankings pay out Neuro Chips and Superior Prosthetics, which unlock items such as the SS-Class Footprint Ghost\u0026#39;s Afterimage.\u003c/p\u003e","blueskyPost":"Crystal of Atlan's Ghost in the Shell: SAC crossover is live as of the October 28 update: Motoko Kusanagi as a pet, a Tachikoma mount with five paint types, and a four-player Tachikoma dungeon called Mimic Battlefield.","twitterPost":"Crystal of Atlan added its Ghost in the Shell: SAC collaboration on October 28.
