- King of Fighters AFK brings back a beloved fan favourite
- Rugal Bernstein enters the roster via a special limited-time event
- You can also recruit Metal Slug icon Fio Germi as a fresh support unit
Every fighting game features a mascot boss who crushes unprepared (and occasionally veteran) players into dust. Whether it's Akuma, I-No, Heihachi, or—according to KoF veterans—the infamous Rugal Bernstein. Now, Rugal is stepping back onto the battlefield as an elite legendary fighter in King of Fighters AFK.
Rugal Bernstein perfectly blends the cartoonish flair of I-No, Heihachi’s megalomaniacal ambitions, and Akuma’s nearly indestructible boss-fight style into a cult-classic fighting icon. You can now add him to your lineup during his new pick-up event, which runs until November 26th.
This event boosts your odds of summoning Rugal. Additionally, the [Spike] Synergy Pick-Up Summon Event lasts until the same date, offering increased rates for other fighters with the [Spike] Synergy tag. Meanwhile, the Secret Agent Event takes place from November 20th to December 3rd, allowing you to secure legendary pets Agent A and Rukal.
Make some noise
Rugal doesn’t hold back in terms of raw power within King of Fighters AFK. His Finisher Skill grants allies the Empowerment buff, delivering a massive 15% damage increase to skill attacks at the expense of target damage taken. Visit our KoF AFK tier list to discover optimal synergies for Rugal.
Rugal isn’t the only nostalgic character arriving in King of Fighters AFK. The Lucky Elpy Event runs from November 17th to the 20th, introducing Fio Germi—a playable hero from the Metal Slug franchise—as a new support unit.
