What Makes Neymar Jr’s Pilot Special?
While most robot games don't involve a soccer ball, Neymar Jr's speed, power and agility have been reimagined to create the strongest Pilot in the Mech Arena roster so far.
He gives a bonus of up to +35% to all Missile Weapon and Assault Weapon damage as he levels up. Additionally, he comes with the amazing Sprinter Perk. From the first Level, it adds 40% to your Sprint Duration and reduces Sprint Cooldown by a massive 40% too. To top this off, he even has 4 Implant Slots! What a hero!
Like his real-world counterpart, Neymar Jr in Pilot form is “one in a million.” To represent this, we’re introducing a brand-new level of Rarity called Limited Edition, making Neymar Jr the first Pilot in the game to represent this all-new class of collectible Pilots.
Unlock New Mech Skins For Free
We know how much you all love customization options and we’re really going to town this time with Skins inspired by Neymar Jr’s national team.
How to Get Neymar Jr Event Skins
There’s more than one way to get Skins. Not only are they available as part of the special 7-day daily login program - you can also unlock even more Brazil-inspired Skins for your Mechs through a special Derby Event that starts on 6 October. This will also run alongside other Derbies, meaning more opportunities to earn great in-game items.
Now you can put together your very own in-game Seleção, decking out your favorite Mechs in the famous yellow, green, and blue!
