Slice through squads in the Lunar Rebirth Collection Event

Bring on the Buster Sword R2R5, gain an edge with Materia Hop-Ups, and collect your way to Alter’s “Voidsnake” Prestige.

Celebrate Lunar New Year with a cosmic twist, as Materia from the FINAL FANTASY™ VII REBIRTH Event returns via Rift Relics. Wield the devastating Buster Sword R2R5 and equip Hop-Ups to summon a SOLDIER Nessie, boost your critical rate, and much more. Pull from the returning 36 FINAL FANTASY™ VII REBIRTH-themed cosmetics with items you already own counting towards your Loot progress—with all six Iconic Legend skins also in the store for direct purchase. Earn rewards in the new Lunar Rebirth Reward Track, and collect from 24 event cosmetics as you work toward Alter’s “Voidsnake” Prestige Skin complete with three tiers, a Skydive Trail, and a Finisher.

BUSTER SWORD R2R5 & MATERIA RETURNS

Alter crouching in her Prestige skin; she's surrounded by Materia and a Buster Sword R2R5, with a Loot Tick looming in the background.

Wield the power of a Buster Sword R2R5 with light and heavy attacks, blocking to reduce damage taken and dash to close the gap, and the quintessential Limit Break. The more you deal, take, and block damage, the faster your Limit Break meter will fill. 

Rift Relics get the Rebirth treatment! Grab Materia Hop-Ups from Rift Relics during the event for increased effects and/or bonuses. Each has its own impact and will only attach with select weapons.

  • Blue Materia - HP Absorb: damage enemies to heal yourself
  • Green Materia - Lightning: reload an empty weapon to emit a shock nova, damaging and slowing nearby enemies
  • Purple Materia - Crit Rate Up: random criticals provide extra damage
  • Red Materia - Summon: summon a Nessie companion to attack your foes

COLLECTION EVENT ITEMS

Unlock 24 Lunar Rebirth limited-time cosmetics, with Legendary skins for Vantage, Revenant, and more!

All 24 items will be available in exchange for Apex Coins or Crafting Metals and in the pool of possible items included in Lunar Rebirth Event Apex Packs† for the entire duration of the event.

Unlock them all before the event ends and you’ll automatically receive Alter’s “Voidsnake” Prestige skin, “Venomous Aura” Skydive Trail, and “Crystal Corruption” Finisher.

REWARD TRACK
