Event Info

Help your Knight be the best she can be! You, alongside your monsters and allies, must help your Knight grow to her final form while protecting her from enemies!

Training during the event will take place in special, event-exclusive stages.

Throughout each stage, you'll encounter a variety of bosses at random. Defeat them to earn BT Pts.

Earn BT Pts to qualify for top rank spots! Higher rankings mean better prizes!

Training Bosses may also reward you with Valor Blades(S), a special item used to nurture your flourishing Knight.

Finally, you can also earn Victory Rewards depending on the number of bosses you defeat. Good luck!

Also look out for Force of Nature and Stars 9 to get more BT Pts!

Boss Units and Combat

In A Hard Day's Knight, you'll assemble a team of 4 units and 4 monsters to do battle with enemies intent on harming your Knight. While there is a cost cap for your units, there are no limitations on which monsters you can use. In boss fights, your maximum hit points will vary depending on which monsters you have set in your team. Specifically, the size, level, and rarity of your monsters will all affect your maximum hit points. Press the Auto Build button and you will automatically form two teams using your highest-level monsters and units. There will also be times when your Ally's Knight will appear mid-battle to help out. This Knight's strength will depend largely on the strength of your monster team. Fighting boss units will cause you to incur a cooldown. You can use a Time Elixir at any time to instantly reset this cooldown. Tap a boss unit to view how much cooldown is remaining on that unit. Boss units you encounter in Training will gradually advance on your Knight. If they reach your Knight, the boss unit will disappear and you will lose BT Pts. You can tap boss units to check how much time it will take for them to reach your Knight. Defeat the boss to earn BT Pts and Valor Blades(S). BT Pts will affect your ranking and Valor Blades(S) are used to help nourish your Knight. The first person who initiates a fight with a given boss (i.e. the person who found the boss) will also receive a Discovery Bonus when the boss is defeated. The person who inflicts the most damage during the boss fight will receive an MVP Bonus after the boss has been defeated. Arena / Player skills will not activate during Boss Unit battles. You cannot battle a boss unit that has already reached your Knight. Be careful when using Time Elixirs to re-engage bosses during cooldown. You may find that the boss has already been defeated by another player. **

Bonus Units

Bonus units will offer certain bonuses when used in the A Hard Day's Knight event! Including a bonus unit in your team will also increase your chances of meeting rare bosses. This bonus will be determined by the single, highest-rarity bonus unit on your team. All bonus units deployed in boss battles will have increased ATK. Rare bosses offer more attractive rewards than your standard bosses. The higher the rarity of the bonus unit, the larger the increase in your chances of meeting a rare boss. NOTE: The amount of bonus ATK conferred by bonus units is directly tied to their level. It is recommended that players enhance their units to receive maximum benefits. Additions may be made to this list without prior notice. 9★s and 10★s cannot be traded. Bonus units cannot be traded during the event. Bonuses only active during the A Hard Day's Knight event.

Group Battles

If you fail to defeat a boss unit the first time you engage them, you can invite your allies to participate in a Group Battle. You can hit the Request Help! button by tapping Group Battle on any boss that you've failed to defeat. Your request will be sent to a random selection of allies. You can only tap the Request Help! button once for each boss. If you have bosses present on the Check Battles screen, you may see a red ! mark appear on the Edit / Fight button. Here you can check if you have any requests for help from your allies. Any boss monsters your allies have discovered will appear in purple. Tap Join Fight to participate in the Group Battle. Once a boss has been defeated in this fashion, you can tap the Receive Reward button to receive the spoils of your fight. You can only have up to a total of 10 boss units active on your Check Battles screen at a single time. If you have already reached 10 active boss units, you will no longer receive requests for help from your allies, nor will you encounter any other bosses in training. This includes bosses who have been defeated, but still have rewards left unclaimed. Be careful when using Time Elixirs to re-engage bosses during cooldown. You may find that the boss has already been defeated by another player. ** You will not lose any BT Pts for enemies reaching your allies' Knights.

Valor Blades

Valor Blades(S) and Valor Blades(L) are special event-exclusive items that you can use to nurture your Knight into a more powerful unit! You can sometimes get Valor Blades(S) by defeating training bosses. You nurture Knights primarily by giving them gifts like Valor Blades(S), Luna, items, or unit cards. While you can substitute Valor Blades(L) for these items, please keep in mind that you will NEED Valor Blades(L) to give your Knight the final push it needs to change forms. Valor Blades(L) come bundled with some card pack purchases. Valor Blades(S) and Valor Blades(L) will not be used in any future events and may even be reset after the event has concluded.

Guiding Knights

Tap your Knight to gain access to the EVO area of the event. Here you will give your Knight Luna, items, and cards to nurture them into a more advanced form. Tap on the Luna, Item, Card icons to convert those items to EVO Pts. As you gain EVO Pts, a bar will fill up above the Knight indicating your current EVO progress. Once the EVO Progress gauge has been filled, you will need to give your Knight a number of Valor Blades(L) to EVO her to her next form. If you do not have enough Valor Blades(L), you will not be able to EVO your Knight. Valor Blades(S) CANNOT be used at this stage of development. Once you have evolved a Knight in this fashion, you can press the Receive Knight button to stop the EVO process and receive your Knight. After fully evolving a Knight, you will be granted a new one to raise again from scratch. Any excess EVO Pts gained when EVOing the Knight will be discarded. Once you have received a Knight, your Knight will arrive in her default, starting state. You will need to evolve your Knight again for her to change. 6★ Mina, Legendary Storyteller will grant fewer EVO Pts than other 6★s when given to Knights. The number of EVO Pts and Valor Blades(L) needed to EVO your Knight will increase incrementally starting with your second Knight. You can tap the Receive Knight button after the event has finished, but you won't be able to give items or EVO her any more than her current state.
