It may not be easter, but there's a rabbit
- Summoners Kingdom: Goddess introduces a new SSR character with Bonru
- This rabbit-like character is a fearless explorer from the mysterious east
- He arrives as part of a new event with special rewards
While it may not be Easter yet, nobody has told the folks at Summoners Kingdom: Goddess, as their latest SSR character arrives with the mallet-wielding Bonru. This rabbit-like hero comes from the mysterious Far East, and arrives with his own limited-time event that includes some exciting rewards!
Although Bonru may seem an unusual addition, there's a surprisingly interesting origin behind his appearance. In Eastern mythology, a common thread features a white rabbit that lives on the moon and (in the case of Japan) wields a large mallet. So I wouldn't put it past the Summoners Kingdom folk to draw inspiration from that for Bonru.
They'll arrive as part of a live event that runs from October 9th (today) to the 15th and features daily log-in rewards, and the opportunity to grab the treasure-hunting lottery item Pestle Mallet. That's on top of Treasure Hunts, Recharge Events and more all joining the game throughout October!
Summoning circle
Summoners Kingdom: Goddess has been one of those games that has sort of popped up overnight. And although it definitely looks interesting I can't help but feel it sort of fades into the background. At the very least the addition of an unusual character like Bonru helps it to stand out a bit more, but Summoners Kingdom remains a bit of a background game. So here's hoping it's just yet to hit its stride yet.
