FINAL FANTASY BRAVE EXVIUS

Clash of Wills: Tree of Unknown Origin
will become available!

[Event Period]
End of maintenance, Thursday, 12/23 - Start of maintenance, Wednesday, 1/5 PST

An enemy from another world approaches!

A corrupted tree of unknown origin which uses its roots to drain whole worlds of their energy...



Arboralis

- Has high elemental resistances that are reduced when dealt a combination of fire, lightning, water, wind, and earth damage.
- Deals ice, water, and light damage.
- Counters if dealt ice, light, or dark damage or if not dealt fire, lightning, water, wind, or earth damage.

Be careful! The enemy will start with more morale in higher echelons!

Echelon Enemy Morale Bonus
1 N/A
2 5%
3 12%
4 20%
5 30%

Though most influences to morale will impact both the player and the enemy, some will only affect the player's morale, while others will only affect the enemy's.

Each Clash of Wills event will also have unique influences to morale!

For the Tree of Unknown Origin Event

Remember that boosting the elemental resistance of your units will increase morale! (Once per status effect per unit per turn)

Clash of Wills: How to Play





Clash of Wills is available for all players! During the event, players can join from the Clash of Wills button that appears on the Home screen and in the Vortex.







Form a party of up to 6 of your own units.

* Companions cannot be taken to battle.
** More than one unit of the same name cannot be in the same party in Clash of Wills.





Each Clash of Wills event features a challenge with 5 echelons, each divided into several levels of difficulty.

Players will start from the lower levels at first, and unlock the option to choose higher, more difficult levels as they progress.

When players successfully clear a level, they will earn a score based on certain criteria, which vary from one echelon to another. Only the highest score will count towards a player's ranking.


Quest Cleared (Echelon 5 only)
- Fixed score added by clearing the quest.

Total Morale Gained (Echelon 5 only)
- Score based on the total morale gained in battle. Increases with more morale gained by the player's party.

Max DMG in 1 Turn (Echelon 1 - 5)
- Score based on the maximum amount of damage dealt in one turn to an enemy. Increases with more damage.

# of Effective Attacks (Echelon 2 - 5)
- Score based on the number of attacks used that are effective against the enemy's weakness (elemental, enemy type, or weapon). Increases with more attacks. One command counts as one attack, regardless of the number of hits.

Max Chain (Echelon 3 - 5)
- Score based on the highest number of chains performed in one turn. Increases with more chains.

# of Turns for Clear (Echelon 2 - 5)
- Score based on number of turns in battle. Reduced if battle takes more than 10 turns.




Battles in Clash of Wills will feature a "morale" mechanic.

When the morale gauge moves in the player's favor, the player's party will gain bonuses during that battle.

Morale shifts according to your party setup, as well as your actions in game!

Morale Bonus for Party Setup

Begin battle with 5% additional morale for every 3 EX levels included in party.
Begin battle with 5% additional morale if all units in party are at EX +3.

Keep your morale up and gain access to morale actions!

Tap on this button to access more information about the battle's morale gauge settings.





Once the first challenge has been cleared, the option to attempt higher, more difficult levels will be unlocked. The number of levels unlocked will depend on the rating earned.

Rating Levels Unlocked
S+ 10
S 8
A 6
B 4
C 3

Battling at higher levels provides score bonuses. Playing at higher echelons even unlocks challenge options, which further increase a boss's difficulty!





These challenge options provide additional score bonuses, but will be limited by the EX Awakening level of the units in the party.





Obtain rewards whenever clearing a level for the first time. After the event has ended, additional ranking rewards will be distributed. Assess the enemy, form your strongest party, and aim for the top of the rankings!

Choose from three Fortuna Rewards after each battle!



After completing a level, players will be able to choose one of three random rewards.

Players may choose up to a total of three Fortuna Rewards.  If a player already has three Fortuna Rewards, they may choose to keep a new reward and discard their previous selection. Rewards become final and players receive these rewards at the end of the Clash of Wills event.

Get a chance to obtain EX coins, various NV EX Tickets, ascension pearls, transcension pearls and more!

Get greater rewards in higher echelons!

Check the Rewards button in the Clash of Wills event for more details.

* Ranking Rewards will be distributed 14 days after the event ends.
** Ranking reward details can be checked by tapping Rewards Details and tapping on the Ranking Rewards tab.
