Monster Hunter Riders has released new characters, and depending how you localize it, we have Kaien and Raira! Kaien is modelled after the Yian Garuga, while Raira is a dual wielding samurai designed after Rajang. Take a look at these two characters:
Of the two, Raira might be the better unit thanks to her attacks and ability to buff herself on attack. That’s not to say Kaien is a slouch, when he can debuff defenses on attacks. With this gacha banner, players will be able to obtain either a 5-star Rathian or 5-star Zinogre. You can do a paid 1000 gem pull for these characters as well.

Besides the gacha updates, Tigrex is also now available in the game! Clear the quests to obtain Tigrex eggs and bond it to your Riders.
How have you been enjoying this fairly simple strategy gacha game take on the Monster Hunter IP? You can read up on our first impressions and review of Monster Hunter Riders if you’re interested to start the game because of these new characters.
Besides the game itself, Riders will be having a collaboration with Hunters Bar, offering themed drinks, meals and related merchandise! It is currently set to be from 9 March to 8 April.
