■ How to Enter
After reaching Account Rank 9, go to the Lobby and tap Battle > Side Story.
■ How to Participate
Play through the Side Story stages to collect the event currency “Indecipherable Journals” and exchange them for great rewards! Additional rewards can be collected from Region Rewards, Quests, and Reputation.
[Event Currency]
1) Violet and the following Heroes receive benefits when used in Visitor From Perland:
2) Players can also receive Urgent Missions while playing a Side Story.
3) In the Side Story region, players can acquire 2★ Monsters and Catalysts. Players can see this information by tapping the Region Info icon.
4) Once players clear the stage [Eastern Outskirts of Tirel Castle] they will be able to select higher difficulty stages.
■ Locked Quests
The side story [Visitor From Perland] consists of two areas, Savara to Ezera. In order to move from Savara to Ezera, players must clear the locked quests.
■ Side Story Improvements: Multiple Difficulty Levels
In previous versions of Side Story mode, players were able to play World difficulty after having cleared the side story on Normal. Now there will be four different difficulty levels players can select from. These levels start from Easy and then go to Normal, Hard, and Hell mode. The highest difficulty, Hell, will reward the player with up to five times the amount of event currency.
Additionally, in order to increase character progression, the rewards for the higher level stages include 3 star penguins, as well as an increase in epic and rare catalysts that can be obtained.
Stages [4. Weeping Desert] and [10. Eastern Outskirts of Tirel Castle] allow players to select their difficulty level. Players may only select a higher difficulty level if they successfully cleared the one before it. Remember, the higher the difficulty level, the stronger the enemies, but the better the rewards!
