Event Basics and Tips
Tactics Board
The Wardroom is where you can check out the tactics board, where you can view the current tournament progress, competition objectives, and other useful information. Your main goal will be to defeat the Arena Masters in all stages, which will allow you to challenge Yanqing.
To qualify for the Elimination Match, you must first defeat your opponents in the Qualifying Match and earn a certain amount of points. Then, go to the Reception Hall and confirm your willingness to take the Arena Challenge.
Tactical Tips
During the battle, you need to perform specific actions and show key moments to gain support from the audience and increase your mood points. After receiving a certain number of points, the participant activates the Enhanced Inspiration mode, which will give him a huge boost.
A trainer can choose the necessary Secrets and Drinks for their ward. By using Secrets with various effects in battle and combining Drinks before the battle, you can give your characters the required buffs. In addition, as you progress through the tournament, you will accumulate experience in communicating with the participant, thereby opening up new bonuses.
Let's add that completing each stage of the Elimination Match will unlock additional Dream World Training, and you will be able to receive new training rewards when you achieve your goals.
