Abyss Battles

Sword Battles are a special kind of battle that require Sword Tickets to initiate.

Sword Tickets are available as Holy Marks rewards and are also included in some card pack purchases.

In Sword Battles, you will assemble a team of 6 units and attempt to defeat Sword Sentinel bosses within the allotted number of turns.

Of course, the leader units of your allies may also assist you in battle.

Victory will be awarded to the team that has the most health remaining at the end of 30 turns.

Winning a Sword Battle will earn you Sword Marks.

The fewer enemies that remain at the end of battle, the more Sword Marks you will receive.

If you manage to defeat all of your opponent's units, you will achieve a "Perfect Victory" and will receive a large number of Sword Marks.

• You will always receive Sword Marks, even if you lose. However, you will only get a number of Sword Marks equal to the number of Sword Ticks spent to initiate the Sword Battle when you lose.

Whenever you lose or achieve a victory that is not a "Perfect Victory", you will have the opportunity to use a Potion to restore your HP and continue with the battle.

Continuing will cause all active skill effects to reset.

Additionally, you can deploy newly added units in Sword Battles to receive bonuses to those units' HPs, attack powers, and speeds.

The strength of the bonus depends on the rarity of the unit. Rarer units offer larger bonuses.

The newly added units are listed below.

• Arena skills are not available during Ticket Battles.
• Allies that have one of the above units set as their leader unit will not receive bonuses when participating in one of your Sword Battles.
• Sword Tickets cannot be traded.
• You can only use Sword Tickets during the The Gathering event.

Sword Marks

Get Sword Marks. Gift them to other players. Get phat BT Pts.

Sword Marks are available via quests and Sword Battles.

You can then gift Sword Marks to other players to earn BT Pts.

Sending Sword Marks to your allies will award you with more BT Pts than sending to non-allies.

You can send up to 10 Sword Marks to a single person at a time.

Once you have sent Sword Marks to a player, you can not send them any more marks until either 15 minutes has passed, OR they send you back Sword Marks of their own.

Furthermore, the number of times you can gift Sword Marks to the same player is limited to 10 times every 6 hours.

This limit is reset daily at 4:00 am, 10:00 am, 4:00 pm, and 10:00 pm PST/PDT.

• Sword Marks cannot be traded.
• Sword Marks can only drop be acquired starting from Quest 1-5 onwards.

Holy Marks

Sword Marks gifted to you, by other players, will turn into Holy Marks.

Collect enough Holy Marks and you will become eligible for rewards!

Rewards are simply unlocked. You do not lose Holy Marks by collecting rewards.

• Holy Marks cannot be gifted, nor traded, to other players.
• Press the Receive button on the Rewards page to have all eligible rewards sent to your Inbox.

BT Pts

You will receive BT Pts each time you send Sword Marks to another player.

The number of BT Pts you'll receive for gifting Sword Marks is as follows:

• Gifting to an Ally - 5 BT Pts / 1 Sword Marks
• Gifting to a non-Ally - 2 BT Pts / 1 Sword Marks

Additionally, gifting Marks to a player that has sent you a large number of Marks will award you with a larger number of BT Pts.

• 0 = 5 BT per
• 1-15 = 6 BT per
• 16-50 = 7 BT per
• 51-100 = 8 BT per
• 101-300 = 9 BT per
• 301-500 = 10 BT per
• 501-? = 11 BT per (1700 still = 11BT. Higher players please add more data.)

You also have the ability to send a push notification to players that you have gifted Sword Marks. You can do this once every 6 hours.

Sending Push Notifications will also award you with BT Pts.

The size of the bonus depends on the number of people you send marks to RIGHT BEFORE you send your Push Notifications. You will receive 10 bonus BT Pts for each person you send a notification to.

You will receive these bonus BT Pts regardless of whether or not your allies have Push Notifications disabled through their settings.

This limit is reset daily at 4:00 am, 10:00 am, 4:00 pm, and 10:00 pm PST/PDT.

Push Notifications

You can send Push Notifications to players you have sent Sword Marks to.

You can send up to one batch of Push Notifications every 6 hours.

Push Notifications can be sent only to the players you are gifting at that time.

The 6-hour time limit for Push Notifications is reset daily at 4:00 am, 10:00 am, 4:00 pm, and 10:00 pm PST/PDT.

Sending Push Notifications will award you with a BT Pts bonus.

The size of the bonus depends on the number of people you send marks to right before you send your Push Notifications. You will receive 10 bonus BT Pts for each person you send a notification to.

You will receive these bonus BT Pts regardless of whether or not your allies have Push Notifications disabled through their settings.

You can set whether or not you want to receive event-related Push Notifications via the main page of the event.

Alternatively, you can also adjust these settings via the Options tab on your main page.
