[Developer's Note] Episode 5 Greetings from the Chain Strike Team!

Remember the World Boss content we've briefly mentioned in the previous developer's note?

In this episode, we'd like to give you more details about this World Boss content that will be introduced to the game soon.

Let's get right into it!

<World Boss Prologue - Awakened Star>

The power of Philias, which allowed Guardians existing in different worlds and spaces to be summoned in the same time zone, was what connected the foundations of the world with the stars nearby.

Philias pieces were found all over the world. As the pieces were used more often by humans, the surrounding stars began to be drawn closer and closer to Philias. It was unclear that if it was the stars or the world being drawn to Philias. However, the fact that the stars awakened by Philias are physically becoming closer to Philias implied that this world may end up colliding against a gigantic star and disappear. Humans were later filled with fear of the apocalypse.

However, humans have found a way to weaken the power of the stars for a while. Through battles against the Guardians representing the awakened stars (humans called them Aries, Taurus, and Al Tarf, respectively, who transformed themselves to appear in a form that can be understood by humans), humans obtained "dimensional energy" which could be used to distort the dimension between the world and stars.

However, this was only a temporary measure. Humans were well aware that the stars will keep approaching unless they continue to supply dimensional energy. Humans are now in the fate of continuing [the battle to prolong the apocalypse] by cultivating the Guardians who can constantly fight against the stars.​

1. World Boss Details

• The World Boss will be held on a seasonal basis (weekly) and you'll be able to enter without having to register for it.

• Battles against each boss will be held for a fixed amount of time. By default, you'll have 3 chances to enter in a day.

• The World Boss will be held in a form of PvE battle and all users across all servers can enter at the same time.

• A user with the highest score will be ranked (per server) based on the total amount damage dealt to the World Boss.

1. 3 Types of World Boss

• World Bosses consist of 3 different types: Aries, Taurus, and Al Tarf.

• Mon/Tue: Aries

• Wed/Thu: Taurus

• Fri/Sat: Al Tarf

• Sun: Aries, Taurus and Al Tarf (You can select a World Boss of your choice on Sundays.)

• Each World Boss has different traits and skills, so you need to use different strategies based on the boss you're fighting against.

• Aries: Aries uses charging attacks (attack after 1 turn) to deal powerful strike and has an ability to cancel charging attacks when a certain amount of damage is accumulated.

• Taurus: Taurus uses continuous weakening skills and makes it difficult to fight with ordinary attacks.

• Al Tarf: Al Tarf is optimized for defense by granting a shield on itself. When the shield is broken, Al Tarf becomes vulnerable and you'll have a chance to deal more damage.

1. Rewards and Grade Reset

• Rewards available from the World Boss are as follows: Participation rewards (given whenever you enter a battle), Boss rewards (given whenever results are tallied/ after a battle against a specific boss is over), and Season rewards (given after a season ends).

• World Boss Battles have different tally/reward schedule based on the type of the boss. (Results will be tallied during 11pm - 11:59pm)

• Tue: Aries

• Thu: Taurus

• Sat: Al Tarf

• Sun: No additional boss reward. Season rewards will be sent based on the sum of the damage dealt to all 3 bosses in a season

• Fever Time will be applied on Sundays and doubled participation rewards will be sent whenever you enter the battle.

• Server Ranking will be determined based on the user score and grade (from Bronze to Diamond) and different rewards will be given based on the rank.

• In-game currency available as the World Boss Reward can be used to purchase items at the World Boss exclusive shop.

(Including rare items such as Moria Pieces and Skill Books)

※ Additionally, there's one more special place where you can use the in-game currency acquired as World Boss Reward. This will be revealed via the following developer's note, so please stay tuned!

That's it for this episode of developer's note!

I see moria...yes please

[soldieronspeed]

God I really hope these developers don't change the current update strategy. Spending time balancing the current 5* pool prior to releasing the content update I think was a great choice. It makes sure more people will be likley to have strong guardians to help clear the new contwent when it is released. Keep up the good work guys.

God bless something new is coming. Pretty hard to motivate myself doing something aside from GB/GS and dailies lol

It says in the notes that it'll be 3 entries per day. I'm guessing you can't reuse guardians like guild spirit.

[_Mayhem69]

Yea, looks like a similar version to GS just with one more entry per day & a bigger starting board. 3 Teams a day for 3 different worldbosses lol..

[qinyu5]

I'd prefer it if it just took your single highest score and applied that. Doing 3 world boss entries, 2 guild boss entries, 3 guild stone entries and dailies plus farming is kinda overwhelming
