Event Info

Clash of Legends: Machina Ex Deus

Clash of Legends is a new type of event where you gain BT Pts by defeating foes in battles of different difficulty levels.

There are 4 difficulty levels. Battles at each level will be fought between your team and a CPU team of up to 8 units each. Four units from each team will begin the fight, and the others will be switched in as the first 4 fall. A battle is won when all the units on the opposing team have fallen. During battles, Arena Skills will be used instead of normal skills.

Starting a battle consumes CP (Clash Points). One CP is restored every 15 minutes. Time Elixirs and TBD may also be used to restore CP.

After selecting a difficulty level, you can prepare your team for battle. You may create up to 4 teams, each consisting of up to 8 Battle Units and 4 Support Units.

Battle Units will fight against the 8 units of the enemy team. Support Units will not fight during battles, but instead contribute by lending their skills to the Battle Units. Battle units have a total cost cap of 200. Support Units have no cost cap. Units with no skills cannot be selected as a Support Unit. Only ONE SUPPORT UNIT may be chosen PER SKILL.

Treasure Chests may drop when you defeat enemies during battle. There are 3 kinds of chests - bronze, silver, and gold. Gold chests will give the best rewards when opened.

Special items called TBD can be found by opening treasure chests and answering assist requests. These TBD can be traded in for rewards items - including a new 8★ unit!

Items obtained from treasure chests and exchanging TBD will be sent to your Inbox.

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.

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.

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.

Clash of Legends Battles
In the Clash of Legends: Machina Ex Deus, 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 Lucky Flask 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.

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