Difference between revisions of "Machina Ex Deus"

You may choose from 4 different battle difficulty levels.

The four difficulty levels are listed below: ・Rook ・Adept ・Veteran ・Master As the level becomes more difficult, more powerful enemies will appear. Enemies will also grow stronger as you gain more victories. Enemies from higher difficulty battles will drop rarer treasure chests.

• Victories will be counted separately for each difficulty level.
• CP is necessary for starting battles, and the CP needed varies according to difficulty level.

As your victories for each difficulty level increases, the Legend difficulty level will appear randomly. The Legend difficulty level has a time limit of 15 minutes. You will not be able to begin a Legend battle once the time limit has passed.

Also, while the Legend difficulty level is up, enemies in all difficulty levels will have a higher chance of dropping treasure chests when defeated.

CP is consumed each battle.

The required CP is different for each difficulty level. One CP is restored every 15 minutes. CP can be restored instantly with Time Elixirs and Digital Souls.

Each Time Elixir will restore 2 CP. Each Digital Soul will restore all CP.

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

Prepare for battle by setting up your team.

Battle prep begins once you have selected a difficulty level and consists of the following:

1. Confirming the Enemy Team At the top of the battle prep screen, the enemy team's 8 units are shown. Units 1 through 4 will be the first to appear during battle. Units 5 through 8 will appear one by one in order, replacing the first 4 as they fall in battle.

2. Creating Your Team Up to 4 teams can be created to use against a variety of enemies, each consisting of Battle Units and Support Units. Battle Units will be deployed in battles, and up to 8 can be selected with a total cost cap of 200. Support Units will contribute by lending their skills to Battle Units during battles. Up to 4 Support Units may be selected. Support Units have no cost cap. Units without a skill cannot be selected as a Support Unit. And only one unit can be selected for any one skill.

3. Setting the Attack Order You can set the attack order of your units by tapping the Set Order button at the bottom of the screen. Units 1 through 4 in red will be the first units to fight. Units 5 through 8 in blue will be switched on to the battlefield in order as Units 1 through 4 fall. Enemy units will attack your units in order from 1 to 8. There is no attack order for Support Units.

• The attack order will be determined automatically if none is set.

Find out more about selecting units for your team and setting the attack order in the Attack Type Matchups section.

In the Clash of Legends: Machina Ex Deus event, you will go to battle with your team.

Battles are fought between your team and a CPU team with up to 8 units each. Four units from each team will appear on the battlefield at a time. As the four units on the field fall, the remaining units will replace them in order. The battle is won when all units on the enemy team have been defeated.

During battle, there are good and bad attack type matches. In an good matchup, a unit will do 1.5X its normal damage. In a bad matchup, a unit will only do 0.5X its normal damage. Against a unit of the same attack type, a unit will do its normal damage. More details can be found in the Attack Type Matchups section of the rules.

A Clash Counter will count down towards 0 each time a turn is taken. The count starts at 20 and when it hits 0, both teams receive a 2X attack boost. The count is immediately reset to 20 and if it reaches 0 again during the same battle, a 3X attack boost will be applied, followed by a 4X boost, and so on. The MAX attack boost that can be applied from the Clash Counter is 10X. If the Clash Counter hits 0 when the attack boost is 10X, then the victory will go to the team with more units remaining. If both teams have the same number remaining, then the victory goes to you.

Enemy units sometimes drop treasure chests when defeated. There are 3 kinds of treasure chests with rarer chests giving better rewards.

The treasure chests open only when you are victorious. BT Pts are earned even when defeated, but fewer than from a victory. After a defeat, you may choose to use a Potion or Digital Soul to continue the battle and aim for a victory. Active unit skills, the Clash Counter, and Support Unit skills will be reset when a battle is continued. If a battle is not continued, any treasure chests found during that battle will be forfeit and cannot be opened.

• There is a limit to the number of Potions that can be used to continue a battle.

This limit is reset at the following times each day: 4:00 am PST/PDT, 4:00 pm PST/PDT.

Arena skills will be activated during battles.

You may receive assists from other players at the start of a battle. Assists will only be received when an ally or other player has answered your assist request before the start of a battle. A maximum of five assists can be received for a single battle.

• During a battle, any unit in your team, including Support Units, cannot be traded, sold, used in enhancement, or exchanged for Leana Points.

When the Clash Counter reaches 0, both teams will get a 2X attack boost.

During battle, the Clash Counter will count down each time a turn is taken. The Counter starts at 20, and when it reaches 0 both teams receive a 2X attack boost. The count is immediately reset to 20 and if it reaches 0 again during the same battle, a 3X attack boost will be applied, followed by a 4X boost, and so on. The boost will increase by 1 each time until it hits a 10X attack boost. If the battle winner has not been determined by the time the Clash Counter hits 0 after a 10X boost, the team with most units deployed will be the victor. If the same number of units are deployed by both teams, then the victory is yours.

You may receive requests for assistance from allies and other players.

You can answer these requests by sending a Cypher Blade or your leader unit to help. Answering requests will get you BT Pts and Life Bytes, send Cypher Blades to get more. The first time you assist each ally, each day, you will receive more Life Bytes than usual. The ally assist count will reset each day at 2:00 am PST/PDT. Unanswered sent or received requests will not be reset.

• Cypher Blades sent do not count towards the assists sent number.
• You may only receive extra Life Bytes each day the first time you answer an ally request for up to 30 allies.

You can request help by pressing the Request Assist! button on the Assists page of the event. If your request is answered, help will arrive at the start of the next battle. Up to 5 assists can be received per battle. An assist will give damage to all units on the enemy team. A Cypher Blade assist will give even more damage.

Pressing the Request Assist! button incurs a cooldown. Time Elixirs can be used to reset the cooldown instantly.

The damage displayed during the assist attacks at the beginning of a battle may differ from actual damage done. Actual may be greater but will not be less.
