Mail is a feature in game where users can obtain messages from game characters and developers, usually with rewards attached, or an unlockable feature like Mastery Perks.

Mail works in a similar fashion to Codes, however these are highly customizable and can be sent to certain groups of players instead of a widely available code.

You can see your latest mail by clicking the small rectangular gray ‘Mail’ Button to your left in the UI. It is only viewable in the lobby. When new mail arrives, a notification will show.

Welcome to The Hybrid Café!

From: Naru
Hey there! I'm Naru, the Barista that works at the counter. Welcome to the Hybrid Café!

To start off, you are given two free towers. You will be able to unlock more of them as you play the game. Come to any empty table to create a game of your choice. You can also join other players' tables. In the apocalypse, teamwork is an important aspect! Be sure to respect other players and have fun!
Oh yeah, here's some Gold. You can't buy much with it, but if you save up, you'll be able to buy some Guardians. These are super strong towers that'll provide great support to your defense. You can also use them to buy some Tower Skins.

Reward: Gold100

Invitation to the Mastery

From: Aliza
Dear student, I've been observing your actions, and I am really impressed by your achievements. I'm writing this letter to invite you to what may help you in battle. If you are intrigued, keep reading.

Allow me to tell you all about Mastery Perks. These are special cards that boost your defense in a way. It can either be a boost of a tower, or having their prices shaved. Unfortunately these cards do not work in the Master's field. There is an unknown aura that prevents them from working. Other than that, I'm capable of doing anything. However my power comes at a price. You require Mastery Points to use these cards. Without them, I cannot help you, and the cards will do nothing but drain me.

You earn Mastery Points by leveling up. Every 2 levels, you earn one point. If you're level 100 or above, however, you will get one point every level. It is a simple process. If you can't handle that, you can't handle these powers.

For now, I will offer three Mastery Points, for free. Spend your points wisely, as once you spend it, you cannot refund it. I wish you the best of luck, and I am looking forward to what more you can do.

One more thing, I'm not helping you for nothing. One day, you will need to repay me. You do not need to worry about that for now, but I will remind you not to be greedy with your power, as you will end up in shame. You have been warned. Collect the Mastery Points attached to this letter, and you will have access to meet me anytime. Just don't bug me, or I'll kick you out without hesitation.

Reward: Mastery Point(s)3

I Need To Tell You Something..

From: Aliza
So you've triumphed all fields on an area. Big Deal.

However, it is indeed an impressive feat. You were able to survive all fields, including the Master field. Don't be so arrogant. You haven't even seen the deadliest field yet. I'll explain.

There's another field that's contaminated with Voids, and this one is a lot harder than you think. The hordes that come with this field overwhelm even me. I like to call this the "Grandmaster" field.

In this field, none of my Mastery Cards work, which already puts me at a huge disadvantage. You're going to discover some new Voids with abnormal powers, and an encounter with the Void Lords is inevitable. If you can survive all that, I'll reward you nicely. Real nicely. Plus, you owe me one anyway.

In addition, Mayla is gone. I do not know where she went. She stopped responding after I mentioned this field. So, entering this field is going to charge you. Magic isn't free, and it takes a load of energy to travel there. 500 Gold for each entry, but I'll treat you for two runs just so you can get a feel for it.

Anyway, I wish you the best of luck. And let me know when Mayla comes back from wherever she went. Goodbye.

Reward: Access to Grandmaster and Gold1,000

A Special Message

From: Hayaka Nekokami
Dear Player, It's truly impressive that you've managed to defend against the horde of Cold Voids. Defending against the Absolute Zero was definetely not an easy feat, but you've pushed the limits and prevailed.

The Nekokami Clan has been trying to hunt down these zombies for a very long time, yet, when they've emerged, we were not able to defend against them. I, Hayaka Nekokami would like to personally thank you for your contribution. The other clan members have also heard about your victory, and are also very impressed.

As a reward, I have these gems that appear to be valuable to you. I heard these are used as seasoning? Well, it's all we have, everything else doesn't seem suitable as a reward. Either way, again, a million thanks for helping us defend against the Cold Voids. We're looking forward to see what else you're capable of..

Reward: StreetCred2,500 and Void Ice Hayaka skin

Happy New Year!

From: Mayla
HEY! You know what time it is? We're almost into the New Year! And you know what THAT means? I'm about to get my yearly salary! I don't think I've told you this, although it's obvious, I have a job. Still wondering when you'll start applying for jobs..

Anyway, I'm writing to know what you're doing for this New Years. Got a resolution yet? You know I do, and it's going to be the same every year. Money, money, MONEY. I know you want me to pick something different, but believe me when I say that we have no time to WASTE. That Nekokami leader is going to inflate everything to the brim if she ever takes over! Even Hybrid Crops Inc. will crumble if they don't do anything until then. I'm not crazy!

Enough about that. You plan on eating something special? Knowing you, you'd probably buy some budget meal and eat it all alone. I attached some seasoning to the letter so you can add some spice to your Savers Meal. I'd accompany you to give you some REAL food, but I'll be going out with someone else. Alright, that's all from me.

Hope you have a great New Year. Don't be all lonely again this time! New year, new everything! New zombies? Hope not! Anyway, I'll see you later, in a new attire! You'll see what I mean.

Reward: StreetCred150 and Neo Mayla skin

10 Million Visits Message

From: Billie
Dear Player, thank you for helping us reach 10 million visits on Arena : Tower Defense. This is a huge milestone that we never thought we will ever reach.

When we first started development, we didn't think we will reach such a height like this. This would not have been possible if it weren't for your overwhelming support, and I am most grateful for all of it. I could never ask for a better community, and I love you all.

I hope you will continue to enjoy our work, and help us reach even higher achievements. We will always work hard to provide the greatest there is for our community.

As a reward, this letter should include some gold and streetcred (provided by Mayla). Again thank you for supporting us,. And here's to another 10 million visits?

Reward: StreetCred500 and Gold1,000

The Black Blizzard Event is on!

From: Naru
Winter has arrived in the Hybrid Café! So, we've prepared some special things for the occasion!

First off, we have a special, limited time game mode for everyone! A new colder generation of Void Zombies have arrived, and they are much stronger than what you usually deal with! Survive 60 waves of these deadly hordes and maybe you'll receive a special reward? I recommend pairing up with some pros, because even I can't beat this!

Next up, we have some limited time Profile Cards and Tower Skins. You'll be able to find them in the Special Shop. Make sure to get them all, because after we wrap everything up, you probably won't be able to get them ever again!

That's all for now! Also, take this free profile card. We give these out to people who've visited the Café at this festive time! Anyway, have fun, and good luck!

Reward: Frosted 2021 Profile Card

Guess What I Found!!

From: Akari
Hey!! You'll never guess what I just found.. I was in some tech company headquarters and got my hands on this really cool machine. Looked a little bit like a chaingun, but like, more futuristic.

Apparently it's labeled as "Plasma Accelerator", and let me tell you, this thing is just straight COOL. They shoot out a HUGE laser, even brighter than those red laser dots! I normally sell my findings, but I think I'll keep this one. Maybe one day I can show you!

They also have a manual on it, which is how I got it to work, and it mentioned something about the apocalypse and voids and battlefields. I don't know what it's talking about, but I hope I don't have to experience all of that! A cat like me could never handle those!

There's some people knocking on my door, so I'll have to end the letter here. Hope you're all good! Later!

Reward: Gold300

Plasma Accelerator Manual

From: CELRIO
**PLASMA ACCELERATOR MANUAL**

**CONFIDENTIAL BUILD, VERSION - 177013**

This manual is designed to teach new members of CELRIO how to use the Plasma Accelerator and touring on how it works. For advanced use, please consult a senior Technician at CELRIO.

Chapter 1: Enabling the machine.

In order for the Plasma Accelerator to work, at least two of them are required to be functional. After both machines are turned on, they should automatically emit a laser beam between them.

Safety tip: Do not stand between the Accelerators at all times. It is recommended to put them close to each other when not in use to reduce danger space. The beam is engineered not to harm non-sentient lifeforms, but do take care as some builds are prototypes and may cause side effects.

To reroute a machine to another Accelerator, press the Reroute button to iterate between free Accelerators. Do note that a single Accelerator can host to one machine and can only be hosted by a single machine at a time. When rerouting to an accelerator that is already hosted, its last host will turn off by itself.

Chapter 2: Determining the power.

Accelerators are weapons designed for the Void apocalypse. It is important to know how much power an Accelerator packs to know if it can stand up against high-rank Voids. A powerful machine may perform weaker when routed to a weak machine, and vice versa.

Each machine has three properties:

- Damage, the damage that is dealt every tick.

- Tick Rate, the time elapsed between ticks. The lower, the better.

- Pierce, the maximum amount of targets affected every tick.

As stated, the values vary when routed to different machines. The host machines damage value is added to the routed machines value to determine the damage. The Tick Rate is the average value between both machines. The Pierce value is calculated the same way as the Damage value; both values added together.

Note: Plus-version Accelerators deal exclusive damage to higher-volume targets, making them strong against Larger Voids.

Chapter 3: Usage in Battlefield.

Before bringing the Accelerators to the battlefield, make sure to only bring non-prototype versions to prevent any accident or malfunction from the Accelerators.

It is highly recommended that two troops are responsible with each one Accelerator. No machine should be left unmanned. The beam is designed not to affect those with sentience, so the beam can be shot between other troops.

For positioning, it is most effective to place the accelerators in long, straight paths, to utilize the most of its pierce.

Thank you for your contribution to the battlefield, and may Aria save us all.

Reward: Nothing (technically knowledge of using the Accelerator).

April 2nd Hybrid Café Update!

From: Naru
Hey Customer! I hope you're doing great, and especially ready for the new things we've added today!

To start off, we've engineered a Sandbox mode on the boards! You do need to reach Wave 60 to get access though. So, Sandbox mode allows you to simulate any wave that you've reached up until Wave 100, where the Void Lord comes out. You can also place as many towers as you want without limits, though the standard limits like Guardians and Master Upgrades apply. Basically, you can experiment any tower or any wave you want. Could be useful for testing out strategies!

Speaking of strategies, you'll have to cook up more of them as we've pitched in a total of 8 new badges for those collectors! Some are really hard, and some require serious dedication! You'll also get a badge if you ever get a Void Mocha from me. It's a rare occurence, but if you can charm me, maybe i'll give it to you~. <3

We also have a new Expert map available! A dual-lane baseplate from the White Void. Who knows? Maybe you'll run into Mini-Delta, haha!

Aside from that, we have the usual tiny tweaks and fixes from our engineers, as well as a few balance changes. Voids should be a little faster in later waves and the Reaper's sacrifice should be more costly.

Your fact of the day: The Hybrid Café is founded by ArenaTech, a partner company with CELRIO. The company is so mysterious, no one knows who the CEO is! Imagine my life not even knowing who I'm working for!

Anyways, I'll sign off for now. See you later, and have fun!

Reward: StreetCred100.

April 16th Hybrid Café Update!

From: Naru
Hey Customer! Hope your days been great! We've made some more changes to the board game, Defense! Read to know more.

Let's start off with a pet peeve, which is having to re-host a table all over again when replaying a specific game! Not ideal, very annoying. Well we've made it so you can just restart the game in the winning/losing screen! Very convenient.

Speaking of the winning/losing screen. You'll realise that it's been completely overhauled! The Heart of Gold has represent once again! It looks a lot better and amusing to look at. Maybe you won't feel as bad when losing now.

Another thing, we also added a new gamemode. What's it about? That's the sweet part.. No one knows! The waves are always random, including the starting cash and base health! Who knows? You might get some rest, or the largest void debut a lot earlier than usual! Restarting will give you the same exact wave structure, in case you want to stick to a seed. You should try it on the new map, Easter field as well! Do note you'll have to have 10 or more wins to be able to play this gamemode.

That seems all for today. We also have the usual minor changes and fixes. If you're wondering why we're giving a little less than usual on the plate, that's because there's only one engineer at ArenaTech doing all the work currently. He never gets tired! I do worry for him sometimes.

Oh, there's one more thing. I got a message from the CEO of ArenaTech, and they told me to put this poem for all customers. Don't ask me, because I have no idea what it means. You can have a look for yourself:

[

Prepare an Extra-terrestrial master in the deep caves,

you can only do it in a set amount of time.

Then, steal the odd rock only when the horde is prime.


Bring it to the danger lab and defeat the big one,

if it's not on the Master's field, it's a crime;

Press the hidden button,

and you are closer to saying "The world is mine.";


The next step is easy, there's no debate;

Simply, in it's own home,

Empower a Fire Bird to it's most powerful state.


There's one last thing you need to do,

after you've done something incredible.

chant it three times; the superstar's vegetable

April 23th Hybrid Café Update!

From: Naru
Hi Honey~! ...Just kidding! I hope you're having a wonderful week! We have yet another update for the Hybrid Café!

We've introduced a new tower to the battlefield! As the kids call her, it's Aunt Lora! She's not only good at fireworks, but firePOWER too! She uses bombs to blast enemies and eventually hot rockets that explode recursively!

She does cost StreetCred to buy though. Still, unlike a certain game, we provide stronger towers, at a reasonable price!

We also got a ton of new profile cards for sale! These pretty cards are made by our lovely artists in our Community Server!

Other than that, we do have some balance changes with the Accelerator and Swordswoman, whereby their upgrades are now cheaper! We also have the usual fixes, and that would be all for this week!

Wrapping up this letter I kind of want to tell you something.. It's something that I've always wanted to say to you ever since we met.. I've held it in for quote a long time, but I want to say it right here and now... You suck at the game! Like seriously, your strategies are.. horrible! Seriously, you need someone to help you strategize, because if THIS is the kind of people that are holding off the Voids, then we are dead..

Anyway, have a nice week, customer!

Reward: StreetCred150

My Evolution.

From: Theresa
Hi! It's been a while since we last talked.. But all thanks go to my Greatness, as she has given me the opportunity to write this letter to you.

I have something announce to you.. My Greatness has given me an evolution! I am still the Theresa you very much admire, but I am now much stronger. I want to help you further, and now I can support you with even more. Strength, Health, and Wealth, and much more. I hope we can cleanse the voids together some day. I promise you, I'm much better now!

Although we do not have the same creator, I hope your Greatness blesses you well. She is among you.

Reward: Gold555

May 7th Hybrid Café Update!

From: Naru
Roses are Ruby, Violets are Amethysts Er.. Uhm.. Sorry, I got nothing. But what we DO have is a new update for the Hybrid Café! Nailed it.

This week, we've introduced Guardian Rika to the battlefield! She's one of those kids with eighth-grader syndrome, so imagine her reaction when she found out she can manipulate time... Rika can't really deal damage to the voids, but her time stopping powers can prove to be really helpful! She can also buff some spell-casting towers like Fire Mages and Wizards!

In Addition, we have even more profile cards from our community members! There's even a profile card of me!! How thoughtful of them, I should give them one of those Free Food Cards.

Speaking of Food, donuts are now free! You used to have to pay for it, but for some reason a lot of people were complaining about it. Like geez, if you can't pay $299.99 for a donut then go somewhere else.

Then we have our usual tweaks and balance changes. Apparently Fei can boost Guardians leveling, so that's pretty nice.

That seems about it for this week! You know, customer, I'm always thankful that you read my mail letters. It really shows how much appreciation you have for the Café! Your loyalty really motivates me and the Engineers behind the board game, and we hope that you'll stay with us for even longer.

Have a nice week, customer! <3

Reward: Gold500

May 21st Hybrid Café Update!

From: Naru
Hi Customer! If you see any loading trucks outside, that's because it's stocking up on milk, since we're gonna be needing lots of those for this update!

If you haven't noticed yet, the Hybrid Café is hosting the GHOST PEPPER CHALLENGE!! Only customers level 15 or above can participate. The challenge is similar to the Grandmaster field, where you fight off bosses every 20 waves! We have enemies and bosses designed by our Hybrid Café staff! And that's not it, the Ghost Pepper Challenge is a cake-walk compared to the Carolina Reaper Gauntlet.. Super hot waves, and super hot difficulty.. And if you look beside the main counter, the fastest eaters are recorded on an exclusive leaderboard! Even if you're not fast with it, if you can fully digest the pepper, you get sweet rewards and a badge!

Speaking of badges, you know those hard badges people work so hard to earn? Well those will be displayed on their profile card upon view! If you have a good collection, now's a good time to show it off!

This next part will be dedicated to the death of something important to us.. A minute of silence for... The complete over-poweredness of the Hitman! For it's price, it was so good you might as well get accused for cheating for using him! And now.. He's been nerfed.. Although you may still be viable, you will be missed as the best economic tower..

Sigh.. Oh well. What's next is we have even more profile cards made by our lovely artists, and more fan art on the art corner. Well not really an Art Corner anymore. We're forced to move the art to a different spot to make room for more art. Now it's called the Art Wall!

Well, customer, that's it for today! Good luck on the Ghost Pepper Challenge! And just a note, milk is $34.99 per carton! No refunds!

May 28 Hybrid Café Update!

From: Naru
Ugh, writing a letter in the morning... How rude of them to change the update schedule like that without any notice! Whatever. Customer, I'm sure you want to know what's new for this update in the Hybrid Café!

The biggest thing we have is the Alien's upgrades have been reworked! Xndra is now a better support tower, multiplying damage instead of adding! Although, this comes with the cost of the buff lasting based on attacks instead of a set amount of time. Poor Gunner! Well, this problem gets fixed in later upgrades. How about you find out yourself, customer?

Next, we have a new feature with the interface! Your Towers' abilities are now all displayed in one group, like a control panel! Very convenient, now that you no longer have to select that tower to activate its ability.

On the topic of the Ghost Pepper Challenge, we INCREASE the competitiveness with the timer measuring up to the hundredths of a second! Now, even a millisecond can help you overtake the leaderboards! Good luck!

Other than some balance changes, that's it for this week! It's not too big, but this should enhance the Pepper-Eating experience!

Have a nice week customer!

Reward: StreetCred175

June 7 Hybrid Café Update!

From: Naru
--.-..-.-.---.

Hey customer! Guess what I just wrote up there! It's in Alien-Writing. Pretty cool, right? Xndra taught me how to speak it as well! Well, enough about that, let's get onto this weeks update!

You might want to re-visit Aliza, because she's got 7 new Mastery Cards to help you in your defense! It's been quite a while since she made some new ones. Well, it's not like magic is easy. Must be pretty hard for her. No wonder she's always grumpy..

Next, we've heat up the difficulty of the Ghost Pepper challenges! Just know the boss will have much more health with bigger parties. The Inferno Decoy can no longer be stunned, and Guardians level up slower! Although, the speed of the Bosses and minions now scale with the track length. Does this mean we could be taking on the Inferno Boss in expert maps? It could be possible now!

Then we have the little things to appreciate, which are fixes. Oh, and we also have a few new badges to collect! You know, I've kind of lost count for how many badges we have in total. So much to do!

Actually, since I'm already writing to you, I wanna ask for a favor. Due to work, I unfortunately don't have much time to run my errands. You seem to hang around the café a lot, so you must have a ton of free time! You just have to go find these items I've listed, and mark them for me. It has to be for the Master Field too, since the quality is best there. Oh, and since you're gonna be there, you can also help kill that Armored Massive Void so it won't be much of a hassle when I get there! Should be easy for you!

Anyway, here are the items I need you to find: - An orange flower, grown in a waterfall environment - A pink coral - Octopus meat (don't ask)

And if you see any ducks, make sure you greet them after you're done! I befriended some recently, they seem to be nice if you have good manners. They might even give you some treats, especially the one upstairs! I do wonder if they're from the Amethyst Tribe.

Anyway, that's all from me. Have a nice week customer!

Reward: Gold525

The Summer Heat Challenge is on!

From: Naru
Customer!! Who knew you would come outside on a hot summer day! Well, of course you would. You're probably here for the Summer Heat Challenge!

This time, you're taking on the Hydra Witch! Really scary.. But I'm sure it's going to fun! I heard she stuns your towers.. but I won't spoil any more!

Also, once you complete the Summer Heat Challenge, if you're feeling active on this summer holiday, come try the Hydra Gauntlet! You're definitely going to sweat on this one! Maybe you'll finally lose some weight! You have been eating donuts a lot lately..

Oh yeah, you should also come check our Special Shop! We have 3 new Limited Time tower skins! Of course, these are only reserved for the victors of the Hydra Gauntlet. A trophy for the best!

Our first map for the challenge will be on our brand new Hydra Arena! You can also play normal games on this map... if you're too chicken!

Have a great summer, customer! As for me, it'll be just the same... Someone's gotta man the counter, right? Only I make the best coffee! But yeah, it would be nice to enjoy the beach..

Reward: Gold525 and Profile Card

New Hybrid Café!

From: Naru
EEEEEE! This new Café looks amazing! And the best part is that it's more compact! No more marathons everytime someone orders a coffee upstairs! Sad that the old Café had to be taken down. I still don't know why, but I guess I shouldn't butt in.

Also, alongside this mail you should get an official statement from the Lead. HR says I should recommend you to read it. Now I don't know much about these puzzles, but it seems like a fun activity for you!

That's all from me, customer. Now I just need to find the secret bathroom again..

Reward: StreetCred100

Official Statement from Billie

From: ArenaTech
This is an official statement from the Lead of ArenaTech, Billie Miyamoto. This is a public statement which will be shipped in mail to all Hybrid Café customers.

[---]

I've come to inform you curious people; Of another puzzle that will make your head shake. Unlike rubber ducks and gems; You are now hunting for cake.

Your first destination is in the form of a hint; Try and guess if you can. A populated place, where lives many of Hayaka Nekokami's fans.

Your objective is to open all the doors with force, You may need to owe an apology; But you'll need to use a big explosion, Maybe some of CELRIO's finest technology?

All doors, open, and your fist puzzle piece reveals. Given by the hand of the statue, now how good does that feel?

Your second destination is a place of white land, Oh I'll just tell you; A place covered with sand.

Bring our first four heroes to a nice summer outing, Although they may begin to fight; Perhaps if they were closer in maximum power, Is there a possibility they unite?

Your third place begins at a nostalgic place, A map where my, and your journey began; This one's a very simple task, Try and find out, if you can.

Mix the art of Bird and Fox, It might already be your habit; But a specific rule for this, Is to use the original rabbit.

There is one last step, and this is very detailed. Do listen to what I say, To begin, it starts at a retail.

In a deserted shop, find a purple plushie, It's in a closed room, as I view a nursery; Bring it cake and love, And say "Happy Arenaversary",

You may ask, where do I find this? That's where you must be realistic; If no hints weren't obvious enough... ..Go Ballistic.

Reward: Gold13 and StreetCred8

Packed Halloween Event

From: Kaiya
You were expecting Naru, but it was me, Kaiya. I am the organiser of all Hybrid Café events, including this year's Halloween Event going on right now.

This challenge is for you to defeat the Evil Witch at the Haunted Grave. Although beware, as the Witch has 3 different forms with unique abilities. Watch the bloodwood tree to prepare for what's coming. I also recommend not touching anything at the grave site. You might get cursed, and I will not let you in the Café if that happens. Just kidding.

Anyway, completing this challenge wards you Event Points. Get enough, and I will give you rewards. I offer a total of 9 event skins. I also included Naru in there, because you seem to like Naru alot. Just get together already.

Moving on, this will be our usual style of events from now on. We do hope you enjoy this large event that I, and I only, worked on.

To Miyamoto,

From: Billie
Dear Miyamoto,

I apologize for the bad news. This morning, the police have raided the Hybrid Café. They know everything now. However, all the staff have escaped, and are now under my supervision.

Barista Naru raises no suspicion from the police for some reason. She has now opened a burger stall until this issue has been resolved. Reward: Event Point Icon1,000

Hybrid Café Lockdown!

From: Naru
Uh oh! A terrible blizzard just hit the Hybrid Café, as well as the other areas. The Hybrid Government orders everyone to stay indoors, so you'll be staying in here with the others! You'll still have to pay for meals. We're a business, after all!

And how convenient! Our new Winter Event is ongoing! With 4 new maps, and 4 strong bosses that will test your skill! Only the first map will be unlocked at the moment, but as our customers rack up the total wins of every stage, the next map will be unlocked for everyone!

This includes our new Guardian, Vera! She will be unlocked for everyone once the 4th stage is available. She's thrilled to debut in the battlefield! Her sentries are truly innovative, maybe she'll be great for ArenaTech!

Also, don't forget our Event Progression! We have 8 new skins for you to earn from playing the event! Kaiya worked hard to design the skins and bosses. I also heard the difficulty of this event ramps up very wildly, so be prepared!

Anyway, since your only source of food is in the Hybrid Café, I'll give you a generous 2% discount on our meals! Enjoy your stay in the Hybrid Café, customer!

Reward: StreetCred75

2023 New Year Letter

From: Naru
Happy New Year, customer! Can you believe it? Our Café has been running for more than a year now! What a fun year it has been. Though we had to move to different buildings twice. The police are so nosy these days!

I'd just like to thank you for sticking with us for the entirety of 2022, unless you're a new customer, in which case; Sit down, drink our coffee and give us money! Oh, and play Defense.

Speaking of Defense, the game has changed quite a lot since the beginning of the year. We had fun seasonal events, various towers and guardians joining the battlefield, and much more!

I'm looking forward to this year as well I heard the Lead Developer is going to go on hiatus for a while. If those executives don't take over, maybe I'll see myself leading ArenaTech from now on, he he!

Wrapping up as a gift, I have a free costume for Dawn to give you! This is Tesla. Hikari says she is from her dimension, and they battle it out pretty often. I can't imagine how cool that would look! Anyway, here's to another good year, customer!

Concern About Our Talents

Dear staff,

It has come to my attention that a few of our male talents have switched to a female appearance. I was not made aware of this change, and I understand that all of you were also caught off-guard by the change.

The talents in question are Andrew, Haezo, and Delta. I am currently in the process of contacting them, asking if they are planning on making this change permanent. Personally, I do not have a clue on why they would make this change.

Eitherway, as the manager of all ArenaTech talents, I have the say on how our talents will appear in our games. As an experiment, we will temporarily replace the default appearance of the talents to their current appearance. This will only apply to the Hybrid Cafe's Defense board game, and the manufacturing of our trading cards will not be affected.

I hope this clears any confusion and gives all of you insight of what will happen from here. Any additional questions should be directed to Executive Ruby.

I also hope that you will believe in me dealing with this situation. Rest assured, I am never going to give you up, nor am I going to let you down. As the Lead, I would never run around, let alone desert you.

Reward: StreetCred150

May 6th Update!

From: Naru
Hey, customer! It's been a while since I mailed you about an update. I've grown to miss seeing you quarrel with other customers about why you shouldn't use some random tower! Like, just let them pick whatever! Anyway, speaking of towers...

We have a new ally joining us in the battlefield! Mesa's been a nice friend of mine, so I'm glad she's now fighting the voids with you! Just don't get on her bad side; Believe me, it's quite true when people said she never misses her targets! And make sure not to exclaim at her to "draw", as that can itch her trigger finger...

Something else to look out for is he new Voids recently discovered. These voids all have special attributes, which doesn't make our situation all the better... Just look out there, okay? I don't want you getting hurt, as the Hybrid Café will have to be responsible for your injuries.

Also, don't forget to try out the new maps in selection! You'll need to master one of them in order to get Mesa, anyway. Although, I'm sure it'll be fun, facing off against a new species of voids.. minus the risk of death.

And you may be asking... who are the new staff in the café? Well, they're not new! They've been with us since forever and have been present in the café since he firs one! Not sure how you never saw them. Maybe it's because of that one ingredient we just removed... Eh, you don't need to know all that!

We also have new profile cards and a polish of our game UI to enhance your experience, as well as some fixes. Thank you for sticking with us, customer! After writing this letter, I'm going to lock Kaiya in my basement so she can get that Summer Event ready in lightspeed! See you~!

Reward: Gold250

Face the Water Mages In The Summer!

From: Naru
Hey Customer~, Miss me? I think you do. Well, I'm just writing this to tell you about our new Summer Event, so don't get any ideas.

This summer event's a little different from our usual tradition. You won't be fighting voids, but the Water Mages, Mizu and Kaiyo! It's all new entities you'll be facing, so you'll need to innovate your strategies! They won't be an easy fight too, so be prepared for some challenge!

After you beat them, you can earn Event Points and get some nice new skins for our towers! If you're a more casual player, don't worry! You'll now earn a small amount of Event Points from playing regular games.

In Addition, we have a- Oh? Hm? Weird, I could've sworn someone was supposed to join the battlefield. Wait. Seems like they couldn't make it. How unfortunate. Maybe they'll come soon? What are they doing?

Well, have fun with the event, customer! As for me, I'll be out to have a nice day at the beach with Fade. The suns so bright! Not that you see the sun that much, anyway. I'll see you!

Reward: StreetCred125 and Profile Card

Halloween Eruption Event goes on NOW!

From: Naru
It’s the Halloween Season! And you are wearing a very realistic halloween costume. Oh wait, that’s just your regular appearance. Oh well!

This Event we collabed with The Powerful Nekokami Clan to grind a duel full of heat! Face against Magumi and her trainee, Mini, in a course of Lava Hordes. It’s a bit too hot to do any farming, so you’ll be using the provided Totems to generate your extra income! I played it myself, and it’s a totally different experience!

And earn Event Points to get Limited Prizes from Kayia. Also, a certain Floral Hero is looking to join the battle. Maybe if you get enough Points, she’ll be interested in you. That must be a first!

Oh, and we also have Buddies! They don’t really help you in battle, but aren’t they all cute? Who would want to be lonely during battle?

We also have other adjustments to the game and our shop. We have a Community Chatroom where you can see the full patch notes, so join it if you’re old enough!

Reward: Gold666 and Halloween Eruption Profile Card

List of Secret Mail[]

You're so cool!

From: Mayla (Requirement: Have more wins than losses)
Hey, hero! You know, I've noticed you're getting a lot better at this board game, looking at your win/loss ratio. It's really impressive.

You know, I find guys who always win very attractive. You're definitely not an exception. Maybe one day we can meet and you can teach me how to become as good as you! And, if possible, we can.. drink at the Café together afterwards..

If that's all fine with you then it's a date! Date as in, occasion. Obviously. Probably. Maybe. Possibly. Anyways, I'll see you soon~!

Reward: StreetCred500

You Need To Improve..

From: Aliza (Requirement: Have double the losses than wins)
Heh, looking at your win/loss ratio on this board game is hilarious. I mean, you've been playing for so long yet you're still a loser. It might hurt, but that's the truth..

You want a tip? Spend your money wisely. Learn the wave structure. You know, the basic stuff. Because I'm pretty sure you don't even know them. And try some easier gamemodes and maps. Baby steps.

I know you won't be a loser for long. I know that because whether you like it or not you're helping me defend against the Voids. You're mine. Not like, in a relationship kind of way, but, I own you. Yes. That's what I mean.

Anyways, just sharpen up. You're not going to be of use to me when the time comes at this rate.

Reward: StreetCred25

Massive Gratitude.

From: Theresa (Requirement: Have 20 wins with Theresa)
Hi. Your effort out there was a great help to me! It's very nice to see someone with such potential use it to help others! I'll make sure you will be rewarded.

You see, when it comes to offense, I'm not the best at it. I was created specifically to be a messenger, and help a certain one go through the tough times. One that has experienced great loss. I have done my job, and I've heard that she is living just fine. Now, trying to find an alternate purpose, I try to repel the voids from the humans.

Alas I cannot be as good as the other heroes, like you. However, your assistance will help me greatly in battle! Your deed will not be forgotten.

Reward: Crosses Profile Card

A Thank You Message

From: Hayaka Nekokami (Requirement: Have 30 wins with Hayaka)
You really are an impressive person. I like you. I'm starting to think you have some sort of supernatural powers.

Tell me, are you a Ruby or an Amethyst? You have the strength of a Ruby, but the personality of an Amethyst. You've definitely puzzled the entirety of my family.

Either way, you deserve a thanks for helping us defend against the voids. Your effort was truly outstanding. I look forward to your future efforts. Do visit the Nekokami Residence for a cup of tea. Although in this cold weather, we don't serve hot chocolate, since that would kill us.

Reward: Wintertide Profile Card

About the ArenaTech Lead...

From: Akari
Hey! I heard you met the Lead Developer of ArenaTech in that Hybrid Café! I think his name is Billie or Miyamoto or something.. Anyway, you're really lucky to meet him! Hopefully you got some nice stuff from him, because I got a jackpot last time! Let me tell you my experience.

I was doing what any normal cat does.. I was just taking some free samples in the CELRIO Lab. I don't know why, but a bunch of guards were shouting at me to put it back. They looked really dangerous, so obviously I ran from them. It wasn't until I bumped into him, and he brought me to something they called the "interrogation" room. They sat me down on a chair and had me take an exam. I guess I didn't do too well, because in the end they just kicked me out of the building. How rude! Interrupting a cat minding her own business! I didn't even get to study for that exam! However, I managed to, let's say "obtain" that Lead Developers phone. Sold it for a lot of money at Ruby Tech. Perfect timing too, because a day after the place got raided by police and was shutdown for some reason. Lucky me! Do let me know what you managed to obtain from him! Also, I managed to save a picture from that mans

Reward: Code profile Card

Congrats on 1000 Levels!

From: Naru
Hey Customer! Congratulations on reaching Level 1000! It's definitely not easy reaching such a number, but you've prevailed!

Although you might know everything about the game by now, you should be aware of your hygiene too. You stink. Please take a shower. Your stench is going to repel the customers away from the Café, so until then, you'll be kicked out until you come in fresh. Do understand!

Reward: StreetCred1,000 and Expired Coupon

Carolina Reaper Aftermath

From: Akari
OH.. MY.. GOODNESS. THAT WAS THE SPICIEST THIN 4 I'VE EVER BEEN STUPID ENOUGH TO PUT IN MY MOUTH. MY TONGUE.. IT'S STILL BURNING. HELP.

Ugh.. This letter is going to take a while to write.. I heard you just conquered the Carolina Reaper Gauntlet.. Well, so have I, and seeing how I'm doing right now, I'm guessing you're not doing so good. Also how dare the just give us a measel 2000 StreetCred for going through that hell! They're lucky they made us sign a contract before doing the challenge..

So, I did what any normal cat would do.. I went to their storage room and stole their Inferno Boss costume. It's a fair trade! I have a spare one for you. It includes a bow too. Give it to a friend, sell it, or whatever you want to do with it. As for me, I have acquaintances that would buy this for some REAL money.. Not telling you, though.

Reward: (Stolen) Inferno Boss Skin

Scene #2582 Script [Scrapped]

From: Hykura Entertainment

Void Lord: My, my.. What do we have here? Don't you think you're a little late? Your allies will die at just the snap of my finger.. Don't make any sudden moves..

Beacon-chan: Hayaka, now!

*Hayaka uses Cold Pulse and frees the team from the Void Grasp.*

Void Lord: What?! Ugh! You're dead!

*Hayaka freezes the Void Lord*

Void Lord: No.. This can't happen! You won't get away with this! Children, attack!

*Void Fodders appear in massive hordes*

Hayaka: We cannot take them, you have to use "it", now!

Beacon-chan: But-

Hayaka: NOW!

Beacon-chan: Ugh, okay! O..Overdrive!!!

All void fodders die, and the Void Lord disappears* *Hayaka collapses*

Beacon-chan: Hayaka!

Hayaka: Haha.. I'm really the stupidest person ever..

Beacon-chan: Stay with me! I can heal you!

Hayaka: It's useless.. Without void energy, I will die. My body will shut down.. Beacon-chan, I have something very important to tell you before I leave. You must listen..

Beacon-chan: I will listen, Hayaka..

Hayaka: Ari.. is not human.. She is a major holder of secrets.. She is..

*Hayaka stops talking, and doesn't move* *Beacon-chan cries, as her allies circle around her*

Ruby Tribe Report

From: Andrew
Reporting to My Queen, Ruby Queen;

Dear Queen, The Amethyst are currently armed with Plasma Lances. According to the Hybrid conversation, they are not planning for the attack. It seems the Voids are still their top priority. I have gathered statistics, and 304 Amethyst's are injured, and 88 are killed.

While the Amethyst are alert, so should the soldiers. We have just received our refresh of Dragonwaves, and we are armed for any potential war.

In the Hybrid environment, ArenaTech seems to be busy with their virtual board game. The only odd activity from them is that they bought rights to a card game from a Ruby Hybrid, family of Usagikami. Nothing deep after investigation.

In the news of Ms. Ari, today was the same activity. Hunted deer, visited the Hybrid Café, and sat on a chair outside of her home. The same goes for her Void companion. Forgive me, as I failed to hook new information today.

In response to the first piece of news, I will go undercover in the Amethyst Tribe by disguising myself as a fictional character. This has proven to be an effective method.

May you blessed, My Queen.

Reward: Darling Sergeant Skin

5AM Challenge Diary

From: ???
This is my log of waking up at 5AM every day for... at least a week? Well, I hope this goes great.
  • Day 1: Getting out of bed was nearly impossible. And wow, there's really nothing to do at this time. I guess my kind would be out killing people right now.
  • Day 2: I thought my body would get used to waking up this early, but my body feels like it's getting vaporized... Who knew a cramped sleep schedule like this is the way to kill me.
  • Day 3: I wake up at 5AM. Ari wakes up at 4AM.. I think. I don't know I've never seen her sleep. She does have a bed, though, so I hope she's getting better rest than I am... Eitherway, why is she up so early?
  • Day 4: It's been 4 days and nope, I'm still not used to this. I would very much like to return back to sleeping as long as I want. Ari offered me coffee this morning. It tasted horrible. Ari said Void Mocha is too expensive... What even is Void Mocha?
  • Day 5: I turned on the TV, and the Ruby channels are the exact same as they would be in the daytime, while the Amethyst channels are all static. If I learned correctly, Rubies are the more active type. So that means Ari is a Ruby right? Hmm... then I would be an Amethyst, since I'm more lazy.
  • Day 6: I decided to end this challenge after a week. I don't think I can take this anymore... Ari invited me for a morning job. In the end, I accidentally outran her 5 times. Ari always says stay close to her when going outside.
  • Day 7: Final day... Hmm, has my body improved at all after all this? Well, I guess it would prove to be a benefit to normal people, but not me. I don't feel a difference. Oh well, back to long sessions on my glorious bed.
Reward: Vampire Reaper Skin

Kitsutori Report

From: Aliza
That was... a new experience. I knew Dawn had Kitsutori powers, but not up to that caliber.
There seemed to be a powerful aura at that temple that gave him expanded powers like that. Almost nothing is known about the Torikami. We do not even know if any family members still remain. Only the Kitsukami are capable of answering such questions.
Fortunately, I was able to capture the essence of the phoenix, and convert it to a form of a Mastery Card. Ha, one of my wonderful achievements.
Because you helped me discover this phenomenon, I'll give it to you for free. You will still require my presence, and the KFP90 must have enough damage accumulated for it to activate again. Otherwise, the power of the Kitsutori will only be as it was before.
I'm starting to like you. As they say, "Always look for a better alternative;". Reward: Manager Skin and Perk

About My House...

From: Naru
Hey customer! This is a personal letter. My security device at my home was triggered just now, and when reviewing the footage, I saw you entering my house.

I'm not sure how you got past all the security and the code-locked door, but breaking into someone's house is a crime! I'm sure even you would know that. But since you're my best customer, I won't ban you from the Café... Instead, all coffee and donuts are 5x more expensive for you from now on!

I hope you didn't steal anything, or even worse, read anything personal in my house, or else I'll have to get Mayla to hunt you! I can crush you myself pretty easily, but I prefer not to have messy hands! Anyway, I've hired my assistant barista to surveil you at all times, even when you sleep! Hopefully this won't happen again! Goodbye!

Reward: Assistant Barista Skin

Valentines!

From: Naru
Hey Customer! Currently writing this before I go to sleep. I got a missed call from Miyamoto's business phone and so I've reached out to you. How did I know it was you? Miyamoto never calls me from her office phone! That's for the executives.

Anyway, It's nearing Valentines day! I already got my valentine. Haha, just kidding! I can tell your face was in disbelief when you read that! But being real, I would not like to be your valentine.

However, I know someone who does. Theresa loves everyone! I'm sure she'll accept your offer, but you'll probably need to queue up with everyone else.

P.S I just got an update from Theresa, she said she won't be accepting valentines this year. Guess an angel can get tired!

Well, eitherway, It's not the end of the world! I'm sure you'll find someone in your life, well, as soon as you start going outside more.

Ooh! I almost forgot, Theresa and I dressed up in some beautiful valentines outfits earlier! Theresa just looks really cute here, don't you think?
