Netmarble has just dropped the first major post-launch update for MONGIL: STAR DIVE, and it brings a legendary face back to the forefront. If you’ve been diving into the vibrant world of Belana since its global launch on April 15, get ready to spend some summoning currency—Mina, the iconic nine-tailed fox, has officially joined the fray.
As the reimagined successor to the 2013 classic Monster Taming, MONGIL: STAR DIVE is already making waves with its Unreal Engine 5 visuals and addictive “Monsterling” collection system. The addition of Mina marks a significant milestone for the game’s growing roster.
Meet Mina: The Nine-Tailed Prodigy
Mina isn’t just a powerful fighter; she is a central figure in the game’s lore. Hailing from the Far East continent, she is a beastkin who inherits the bloodline of a Divine Maiden serving the God of Fate.
- Attribute: Fire
- Type: 5-Star Fighter
- Playstyle: Explosive DPS / Brawler
While she carries herself with a composed, elegant demeanour, her kit is anything but quiet. She specialises in overwhelming enemies with Foxfire Orbs (Hwaryeong-gu) and possesses an ultimate ability that changes the tide of battle instantly.
Skills & Synergy
Mina is designed to be a high-impact damage dealer, especially when paired with the right team.
- Ultimate Skill: Foxfire Clone (Hwaryeong Bunshin) – Mina deals massive fire damage and summons a clone to fight alongside her. This effectively doubles her presence on the field, allowing for relentless pressure.
- Synergy Tip: Mina shines brightest when teamed with characters who can apply Fire-attribute debuffs. Look to pair her with existing Fire units like Flare or Verna to maximise her explosive potential.
New Events: The “Flame That Gathers Afterimages”
To celebrate her arrival, Netmarble is hosting a series of limited-time events running for the next four weeks:
- Mina Summoning Event: A dedicated banner with increased drop rates for the Fox Maiden.
- Special Story Event: Dive into “Flame That Gathers Afterimages” to explore Mina’s backstory and her destiny as a Divine Maiden.
- Exclusive Rewards: By clearing event-specific dungeons and missions, players can earn event currency to exchange for:
- Mina’s “Precious Gift” LIVE background.
- Character growth-support items.
- Profile decorations.
Quality of Life Updates
The April 29 update wasn’t just about Mina. Netmarble has also implemented several community-requested tweaks to make your monster-taming journey smoother:
- Monsterling Trait Filter: A new grade filter helps you sort through your collection more efficiently.
- Story Skip Function: For those who want to jump straight into the action, you can now skip event stories.
Final Thoughts
Mina’s arrival adds a layer of tactical depth and nostalgia to MONGIL: STAR DIVE. Whether you’re a veteran of the original Monster Taming or a newcomer enjoying the triple tag-team combat of 2026’s hottest RPG, Mina is a must-have for any competitive Fire-element team.
TechMash Tip: If you’re building Mina, focus your Monsterling traits on Skill Cooldown Reduction and Fire DMG Bonus to keep those Foxfire clones coming!
MONGIL: STAR DIVE is available now on the App Store, Google Play, and the Epic Games Store.
