The hit mobile action RPG Monster Strike is preparing for a massive crossover event, announcing its second official collaboration with the beloved Love Live! franchise. Set to kick off on September 1, 2026, the event brings iconic school idols into the game's signature cooperative combat mechanics, blending two massive pop culture phenomena.
Originating as a multimedia project centered around high school idols chasing their dreams, the Love Live! franchise has continuously expanded across television, live concerts, and theatrical releases since its debut. With milestone anniversary projects underway and ongoing cinematic continuations, the enduring appeal of its idol groups remains remarkably high across the anime landscape.
Gacha Lineup and Unit Upgrades
This upcoming second crossover reaches deep into the franchise's history. Players will find units from the foundational generation µ's—broken down into their first-year, second-year, and third-year student subgroups—alongside rival acts such as A-RISE and Saint Snow featured in limited-time gacha banners.
Furthermore, members of Aqours from Love Live! Sunshine!! receive major combat enhancements, unlocking the powerful Beast-Godization Kai (獣神化・改) evolution status to tackle high-difficulty quests.
Special Missions and Starter Packs
Players can utilize special costume-unlock mechanics through dedicated missions to switch µ's members into alternative styles. In addition, the Collaborative Starter Pack introduces a unique cross-generational unit pairing Honoka Kosaka and Chika Takami, bridging the lineage of school idol history.
Additional characters like Kotori Minami and Umi Sonoda are obtainable via login bonuses and coin exchanges. Running until September 18, 2026, the event also features community social media campaigns offering exclusive physical merchandise.
