Event Types Summary
While each of the individual Event pages (i.e. Training Events, Tower Events, Panel Events, etc.) detail the mechanics of how the event works, here is a high level overview of what to expect.
Please note that the details below regarding whether event units or spending are 'required' are focused on whether they are 'needed' for achieving either a high ranking or top item rewards. These are the opinions of players / editors, and not based off any direct information or guidance from Mobage / Silicon Studio.
With that said, new players, please be warned that in it's current state, Fantasica is essentially a pay-to-win app. It is absolutely possible to participate in all events with no event units and no spending, but it is often literally impossible to reach the highest ranking / rewards without spending significantly, and can require large time sinks to reach even the lower rewards.
Event types that are currently active and have ranking rewards associated with them.
| Event Type | Event Unit Required | EU Stacking | Spending Required | Allies Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Clash Events | Yes; grants bonus BT pts and bonus items | No | No; TE can be used | No | TE only refill one CP, while an event item restores all 6. If not spending, expect to burn a LOT of TE to rank |
| Colossi Events | Yes; grants bonus BT pts | No | Yes; only 10 Pots can be used per match | Yes | Like Guild Battles, matches are scheduled at preset times |
| Dice Events | Yes; grants bonus BT pts | No | No | No | Energy (DP) can be directly restored through (spending on) event items, but use of Dice and roll-bonus cards can help |
| Frontlines Events | Yes; grants bonus BT pts and battle count multiplier | No | No; Pots can be used | No | Pots only refill one CP, while an event item restores all 6. If not spending, expect to burn a LOT of Pots to rank |
| Gifting Events | Yes; grants bonus items for gifting | No | Yes; tickets needed to have enough gifts quickly enough to max sending them out | Recommended | Active allies that gift back will increase BT received when gifting to them |
| Guild Battles | Yes; grants bonus GP against base | Yes | Yes; only 10 Pots can be used per match | Recommended | Serious guilds will require kik or LINE chats to coordinate |
| Legion Battles | Yes; grants bonus BT pts | No | No | No | While event items are not req, ranking will take lots of time and pots |
| Panel Events | Yes; grants bonus BT pts; Until recent special levels boss could only be hit by EUs (no more) | Yes ( before 2018: No) | Yes | No | If you don't have an EU, allies with leadered EUs can be used to down the special boss (but no multiplier is granted to your BT pts); Several EUs can be deployed against boss (but with no BT multiplier) |
| Path Events | Yes; grants bonus BT pts | No | No | No | Pots only refill one FP, while an event item restores all 6. If not spending, expect to burn a LOT of Pots to rank |
| Popularity Events | Yes; grants bonus love pts | No | No | No | Expect to burn a LOT of Pots while grinding to rank |
| Raising Events | Recommended; better chance for rarer bosses | No | No | Recommended | Allies that share bosses are preferable. Note that separately from ranking, highest Evo cannot be achieved without spending. |
| Tactics Events | No | No | No | No | Pots only refill one CP, while an event item restores all 6. If not spending, expect to burn a LOT of Pots to rank |
| Training Events | No | No | No | Recommended | Somewhat RNG in terms of finding the special boss; having active allies will help |
| Training-Tower Events | Yes; grants bonus BT pts | No | No | No | Expect to burn a LOT of Pots while grinding to rank |
Event types that are generally short (1 - 3 days) and DO NOT have rank rewards associated with them; these are usually run concurrently with a Main Event that DOES have rank rewards.
| Event Type | Event Unit Required | EU Stacking | Spending Required | Allies Required | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Colosseum Events | Recommended; grants bonus BT pts | Yes | No | No | If not spending (event items grants BT point multiplier when active), expect to spend a lot of TE to clear all areas |
| Team Events | No | No | No | No | Only donate during Fever times. Drawing high rarity units from reward tickets is pure RNG. |
| Tower Events | Recommended; grants bonus BT pts | Yes | No | No | If not spending for event items (grants BT point multiplier when active), expect to spend a lot of TE to get point rewards |
Event types that serve a particular purpose.
| Event Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Awakening Events | Similar to recruitment, specific monsters can be "Awakened" into units. The required items ( Wake Stones) are not tradeable. Note that even at the highest chance, Awakening can still fail.
|
| Recruitment Events | Allows specific monsters to be "Recruited" into units. Requires  Soul Stones. Recruited units cannot be returned to monster form; recruit only if you're certain.
|
Event types that have been held in the past, but not within the last year.
| Event Type | Notes |
|---|---|
| Battle Arenas | Discontinued after several events in 2013. Similar to Colosseum Events in that players chose and battled other players, with the added layer of going for consecutive wins in a row. |
| Quest Challenge Events | Special Quests would be available, with rewards available for clearing within the time frame. |
| Zone Events | Only a single event in 2014. Elements of what would eventually become Path Events later on. |
