How to Play[]
In the Sortie menu, click on the event banner, and the maps of the event will appear.
To participate in the event, one pass is required per sortie. The maximum number of passes that can be owned at the same time is three, and they can be replenished with 1000 koban.
Passes are automatically replenished every day at 5:00 and 17:00 JST.
There are four types of difficulties in the event maps, from Easy to Expert. During sorties, press the Forward, Backwards, Left, and Right buttons to advance node by node.
A map is cleared when the boss node is defeated. Note that all keys obtained on the sortie will be lost if the boss is not defeated.
About the Number of Moves[]
This event allows a limited number of moves at the beginning of a sortie depending on the map:
- Initial number of moves:
- Easy: 5
- Normal: 5
- Hard: 6
- Expert: 7
Defeating enemies in battle might grant up to three additional moves. If no more moves are left, then the team will be forced to retreat. In this case, all obtained keys will be lost.
About Map Nodes[]
Previously visited nodes except for the first one can be revisited in this event. However, once cleared their effects are lost for the rest of the run. Also, there are blank nodes where nothing happens.
Here are the types of nodes in this event:
- Enemy node (purple) : A battle will be triggered
- Blank node (gray) : Nothing will happen
- Key node (yellow) : Key drops
- Boss node (purple) : A boss fight will be triggered, and the team will return to the citadel
About Keys[]
Keys may be obtained from Key nodes and from defeating enemies in battle. However, in the event of returning to the citadel, defeat, or running out of moves, all keys obtained during the sortie will be lost.
The boss must be defeated in order to keep the keys.
Note that keys will disappear after the event and will not show up in the next one.
About Treasure Chests[]

To do so, press the 'Unlock Treasure Chest' button on the bottom of the event map selection page. Then select any chest(s) you wish to unlock and press the 'Unlock' button.
