Shin Megami Tensei: Imagine Online "Blaze of Ambition" expansion is finally here!!!
VERSUS:
VERSUS is the new PvP feature only available to the characters Level 30 or higher. You may join the battle by talking to NPC “Yaginuma”, who can be found in Nakano first.
There are two types of VERSUS battles:
1. FATE: Fate is a 15-on-15 battle, where the objective is to claim 5 Bases in Fujimi Midgard. The Bases are located throughout the field, and some of them may give your team extra points. You also will gain additional points every 30 seconds if you maintain control of the Bases. Fate focuses on team play and strategy rather than individual skills.
2. VALHALLA: Valhalla is a 5-on-5 battle, where the objective is to defeat the opponents in the Coliseum. Your team will gain points for each character as well as each demon you defeat, and the battle ends when one of the teams reaches the maximum points or the time runs out. Valhalla focuses on individual skills and is geared toward higher level characters.
In VERSUS, the maximum HP of you and your summoned Demon will be increased significantly for the duration of the battle. However, if you summon a Demon after the battle has begun, it will not receive this HP bonus. Also, you will not gain XP in VERSUS mode and you and your demon do not suffer from penalty upon death; instead, you will be rewarded with BP (Battle Points), which you can exchange with items.
Check out the VERSUS Trailer.
New Demons:
12 new Demons have been added. You may see some of them as the new Bosses on the field (such as Rafael), and you can only see some of them only by performing Double or Triple Fusion.

Demon Rebirth:
You can now “reset” the attributes of your contracted Demons by performing Demon Rebirth. For example, you may change a Demon who has superior speed into a Demon who has superior strength. Be careful though - the new Demon will be reverted to Level 1.
