MONGIL: STAR DIVE recapped its July 1 Developer Lounge Talk livestream, confirming the character lineup and systems arriving with the Version 1.2 update on July 7 (Tue). The recap also revealed a free celebration redeem code for all Divers.

New Characters: Francis & Verna Summer Dive

The 7/7 update adds Summer Dive versions of two characters, alongside the new Summer Lane map for the game’s first summer festival:

  • Francis: Summer Dive! Francis: Summer Dive! — an Earth-element Support character, expected to perform well across various parties and especially strong in Earth-element team compositions.
  • Verna: Summer Dive! Verna: Summer Dive! — a Fire-element Brawl character with fast-paced on-field combat and strong performance even after being tagged out.

A new Lightning-element character, Maybell, is also confirmed to arrive after the Version 1.2 update, with details to follow in future notices.

Dispatch System

The Dispatch System launches July 7, accessible from the Menu tab or the Monster Gillers Meeting Hall. It automatically farms 100% of the resources and rewards you’d normally get from manual field runs.

  • 6 regions are available, with up to 4 Dispatches running at once.
  • Food effects apply while a Dispatch is in progress.
  • Sending a Dispatch requires meeting a level requirement, and each region has three personality conditions — matching all three grants full personality rewards (Monsterlings, Gathering, Mining).
  • The daily Dispatch count resets every day at 00:00 (UTC).

Legendary Monsterlings

The Legendary Monster Reginula gets its own Legendary Monsterling on July 7. It’s summoned and grown using the Twinkling Starlight resource earned through Legendary Conquest, and occupies a dedicated equipment slot per character — once equipped, it accompanies your character in battle.

Conquest Stage Expansion

Conquest stages expand to Normal, Raging, Awakened, Void, and Abyss with the update. Higher stages drop better equipment, Monsterlings, and Legendary Monsterling growth materials, and add elemental resistances. Clearing the highest stage available automatically clears all lower stages, so first-clear rewards can be claimed without spending extra entry tickets.

Monsterling Trait Upgrade & Change

A new system lets you upgrade or change Monsterling Traits starting July 7:

  • Trait Change randomly changes a Monsterling’s Traits. Proceeding without locking Traits only consumes Catnip Spray; locking Traits first also consumes Premium Tuna Puree.
  • Trait Upgrade offers Random Upgrade (randomly upgrades one current Trait a tier) or Selected Upgrade (choose a specific Trait to upgrade).

Other Improvements

  • Monsterling Combine now factors in the higher-grade material, Mutation Combine success rate rises to 100%, and higher-grade Trait acquisition rates increase.
  • Requests for the same Monster can be accepted up to 3 times daily.
  • Mobile Key Customization and a Mobile Combat Assist System are added.
  • Episode boss time limits are removed, Burst Mode QTE drops from 2 presses to 1, and characters auto-face tracked targets after warping.
  • Footwear equipment gains automatic Role Specialization stats, converting all currently owned gear.
  • Food can be consumed directly from the Team Formation screen, and an Acquisition Order sorting filter is added.

Live Q&A Highlights

  • A console version is in preparation, expected to be shown once release procedures are resolved.
  • Future 5★ character variety will come through skins rather than Alternate Versions, which remain reserved for 4★ characters.
  • The Summer Dive banners use a Dual Pickup structure; existing Compasses (not just Event Compasses) can be used for summons, and Pickup Count (pity) carries over to future pickup characters.
  • The team is considering additional Dispatch-related benefits for subscribers, to be reviewed after the July 7 update.

Free Redeem Code

To celebrate the livestream, the team revealed a coupon for all Divers:

  • Code: SUMMERDIVE2026
  • Rewards: Key x150, Premium Salmon Purée x10, Compass of Promise x3
  • Expires: July 27, 2026, 23:59 (UTC)

What Players Should Know

Redeem codes revealed during official broadcasts work in all countries and regions. With Legendary Conquest records scheduled to reset after the July 7 update, clear as much of your current Legendary Conquest progress and claim its rewards before the update lands — recommended attributes and resistance attributes carry over unchanged after the reset.

A Global-language livestream covering this same content follows on July 8 (Wed) at 01:00 (UTC) on the official MONGIL: STAR DIVE YouTube channel.
