BT Pts will affect your rank in the event. Getting a higher rank will get you higher level rewards!

There are several ways to gain BT Pts within the event.

The following will confer more BT Pts than usual: ・Challenge a player with a higher rank than you ・Have a higher survival rate of units after a battle ・Win a battle with a player you have lost to in the past

You can also get more BT Pts by sending Hell's Bites to other players.

Starting a battle consumes CP. 1 CP is consumed in each battle. 1 CP is restored every 15 minutes. CP can be restored instantly by using Potions or Molten Delights.

・Each Potion restores 1 CP. ・Each Molten Delight restores all CP.

• The MAX number of CP is 6.
• Using an item to restore CP will not bring your CP over 6.

In By Steam & Sorcery, there are 2 types of event items: Machine Oils and Boillards.

・Machine Oil Machine Oils can be used to restore ALL CP instantly.

• Machine Oils will be consumed upon use.

・Boillard Boillards can be sent to assist other players. Receiving Boillard assists will initiate a [Blade Attack!] that will defeat one enemy unit in a battle.

• Boillards will be consumed upon use.

Before you can join a battle, you must first prepare your square. In Fantasica Frontlines, troop placement in the Soldier's Square is of utmost importance!

Preparing your Square

When preparing your square, follow the guidelines listed below: ・Position your units within the 9-square grid, Soldier's Square. ・Deploy up to 10 units to your square. ・You can place multiple units in one position.

• When multiple units are in one position, the order you deploy them will decide which unit is active.
• If you have multiple units in one position, the active unit will receive an HP boost.

Range

Range refers to the distance a unit prefers to attack. Range is divided into 1, 2, and 3. (Close → Far): ・Range 1 → 1 Square ・Range 2 → 2 Squares ・Range 3 → 3 Squares

Attack Type

Each unit type has a specific location they like attacking: ・Melee → Melee units love attacking the center position up front. ・Missile → Missile units prefer to snipe units on the edges. ・Magic → Magic units like to attack somewhere in the middle.

When you attack enemies who are in your preferred range and location, you will deal MASSIVE damage!

• Attacking enemies out of preferred range or location will result in less damage.

• You cannot set a unit deployed in your Square as your leader. Please remove them beforehand.
• Bonus units need only be included in your team to confer bonuses during the event.

Players with similar ranks will be included in the opponent list. When you win a battle with an opponent you have lost to in the past, you will get a greater amount of BT Pts than usual. If you run into an old foe, gear up your team for battle!

The battle flow in Fantasica Frontlines consists of the following: ・Assist Attacks ・Battle

Assist Attacks Assist Attacks occur at the start of a battle when you have received assists from other players. Normal Assist Attacks will deal 5% damage to one random enemy unit. Blade Attacks will automatically defeat one random enemy unit. Up to 10 assist attacks will be used in one battle.

• Of these 10 attacks, only 5 Blade Attacks can be used in a single battle.

Battle When a battle starts, units will attack in order as determined by their speed. Units will attack enemies in their preferred range and location first. If there are no units in those positions, they will target the enemy closest to that preferred location.

• Attacking enemies out of preferred range or location will result in less damage.

Replacement You can place multiple units in one position. When the unit on top is destroyed, the unit beneath will join the battle in its place.

Victory in Battle A battle is won when all the units on the opposing team have fallen. Battle will continue until all the units of one team are defeated.

Victories in battle are only counted when you reach the post-battle results screen. If the game enters maintenance before you reach the results screen, you will not get Rewards, BT Pts, or receive a Victory Count for that battle.

Skills You can equip up to 3 skills, and each skill can be used once per battle. Skills will be set off when the next unit attacks.

Rewards You may receive the following after battles: ・BT Pts ・Items ・EXP

Hint In Fantasica Frontlines, troop placement in the Soldier's Square is of utmost importance! Once you get used to battles, you should take the time to strengthen your square. Also, one of the best strategies is to focus on destroying one position in the enemy's square at a time. The faster the speed of the units you deploy, the faster you can attack and destroy your opponents!
