Full Scale Offensive

A new cyclical game mode launching in the Death Note pre-season. Form 3 teams to tackle 3 past Great Rift bosses across 6-week seasons.

New Game Mode

What is Full Scale Offensive?

Full Scale Offensive is a brand-new game mode introduced in the Death Note pre-season. Unlike the current Great Rift (which uses cumulative damage scoring), FSO uses a score-based system where you form 3 separate teams — one for each boss.

Each season runs for 6 weeks and features 3 past Great Rift bosses. You'll use 9 combatants total (3 per team), and each boss has unique bonus mechanics you can exploit for extra points.

Key Features

How it works

3 Teams, 3 Bosses

Form one team per boss. Each team uses 3 combatants, for a total of 9 per run. No overlap restrictions — build your best roster for each boss individually.

Score-Based Scoring

Unlike Great Rift's cumulative damage model, FSO uses a point system. Each boss has bonus mechanics that reward specific strategies for extra points.

6-Week Seasons

Each FSO season runs for 6 weeks. Bosses rotate between seasons, featuring past Great Rift bosses that have already been cleared.

Save Data Carryover

Preseason save data carries into the new season. Old season save data will also become usable in Great Rift (future update). Every deck you build remains permanently meaningful.

Persona Cards

Season 3 Persona Card System

Launching alongside Season 3 (April 29, 2026), the Persona Card system adds a new progression layer to Full Scale Offensive:

  • Each combatant gets one special Persona Card through engravings
  • Cards grow stronger with enhancement effects from bets and exploration
  • Engraved equipment is found at waypoints and unidentified areas
  • The pre-season lets you preview Persona Cards and carry over save data

This system makes every deck you build permanently meaningful — your investment in a combatant's Persona Card carries forward across seasons.
