Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra introduces new five-star character with Alina Gray

• Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra is set to introduce a new five-star character
• Alina Gray is an ambitious villain who wants to stop magical girls being turned into witches
• Recruit her via a new limited-time event guaranteeing a four-star or higher draw

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra, the mobile spin-off of the hit anime series, is set to introduce a brand-new five-star character. Fans of the subversive take on the magical girl genre can jump into a new gacha event taking place until July 23rd to recruit Alina Gray.

Alina Gray was previously the antagonist in one of the other many spin-off stories set in the Madoka Magica universe. Her ambition is, basically, to stop magical girls being turned into the giant supernatural monsters called witches (the thing that happens to all of them in the end, as it turns out. Sorry, spoilers).

If you're planning to jump in to recruit Alina Gray, then you'll be glad to know the new Five-star Kioku [Nine Phases] Alina Gray event is already underway and runs until July 23rd. It guarantees that your 10th consecutive draw will be a four-star or higher Kioku.

Paint it Gray

For a series which started off as a pretty subversive take on the magical girl genre, it's ironic that Puella Magi Madoka Magica Magia Exedra has gone full throttle into the gacha craze. At the same time, for fans, it's a chance to reconnect with characters spread across a sprawling universe that's become a bona fide juggernaut of its own.

Certainly, the exploration of periods such as spin-off media Scene 0 is very indicative of the fact that Magia Exedra is intended to be aimed at fans of the series who devotedly follow it first and foremost more than anything else.
