You can assemble up to three squads. All three squads will be present in your battles.

Each Squad consists of 6 units with no deploy cost limit. Squad One is sent to assist teammates and allies in their battles. The formation of Squad One that is sent to teammates and allies is set when you join a team. Any changes you make to your first squad after joining a team will not be applied to your teammates or allies.

The ATK, HP, Wait Time, Type, and Skill of your Squads are determined by the units you include.

For example, if you use units with fast speeds, the wait time after attacking becomes shorter.

Squad Type(Melee, Missile, or Magic) is the type there are the most units of in the squad.

• If there is a tie, then your leader unit's attack type determines the Squad Type.

Using Attack Type Matchups to your advantage is vital to success in the Fanta Tactics event.

Find information on Squad Skills in the Squad Skills section.

Teams consist of 3 members. Once 3 members have assembled, the battles will automatically begin.

Press the Form Team button on the event page to join or create a team.

• Whether you create a new team or join a team looking for members is determined when you press the button.

Team formation takes up to 60 seconds. Battle begins automatically if 3 players are found. If after 30 seconds 3 players are not found, the player at the top of the team list can press the Form Team button and 2 options will appear - FORM and WAIT. If FORM is chosen, NPCs are added to any open slots and battle will begin. If WAIT is chosen, an additional 30 seconds is given to wait for players to join. After the 30 seconds pass, NPCs are added to any open slots and battle will begin.

Team are automatically disbanded after 10 battles.

• Failed battles are included in the battle count.
• Contining a battle does not count as an extra battle.

The Form Team button will only be available once you form your First Squad. NPCs are picked randomly. Names are NPC-A through NPC-Z and NPC-AA through NPC-AN. ATK power of NPC squads is determined by your squads and any teammate's squads.

In the Fanta Tactics: On Ghostly Sails event, you battle with your three Squads, the First Squads of your 2 teammates, and the First Squad of an ally if available.

TEAM UP! Beat the clock and get BETTER REWARDS!

In Fanta Tactics the 50 Floors are divided into 5 Brackets, 1 Bracket = 10 Floors. Every 10th Floor is a target floor. Clear the target floor within the time limit and you may get a higher level reward. The more people who clear the designated bracket, the better the rewards. If you do not clear a bracket within the given time limit, you will only receive the lowest possible reward for that bracket.

• It may take up to 3 hours after the time limit has ended for rewards to be sent.
• Bracket rewards will be sent to your Inbox when you open the event page AFTER rankings have been finalized.
• Players who clear the designated bracket after the time limit has ended will not be included in the clear count.
• If you clear the designated bracket after the time limit for it has ended, you will still get the lowest level reward.

Floor Bracket Ranking rewards are given to players with the top BT PTs for each bracket.

Bracket Rankings will be determined by the number of BT Pts players earned in each bracket within the designated time limit. The higher the BT PTs for that bracket, the higher the rank.

You can check your rank per bracket by tapping a certain bracket from the Check Progress section. Rankings will stop updating once the time limit has ended. You can only check your rank for one designated floor bracket at a time. Top rankers will take home the goods!

• As it may take some time for Rankings to update, there may be some discrepancy between what is shown on the Ranking page and the actual, final player rankings.
• Changes to player rankings may take up to 30 minutes to update.

Achieving a spot in the upper ranks gives you access to rare cards and titles that cannot be acquired anywhere else.

Final Rankings will be determined at the end of the Fanta Tactics: On Ghostly Sails event by the number of BT PTs you have earned in total. The higher your BT PTs, the higher your rank. You can check your rank from the ranking section of the event page.
