Battle Mode Gameplay
* Battles begin after the minimum number of participants has entered the map.
* To leave a battle map before a battle is over, click the Leave Room button that is located where the Cash Shop button normally is at the bottom of the screen.
* There are objects that may help or harm you in some of the battle maps.
* Different effects will appear depending on the damage.
* When your HP reaches 0, you will revive in the safe area and start the battle again after three seconds.
* You are restricted from using regular potions and other items in your inventory while in battle maps.
* Unique items regularly spawn in battle maps. Picking them up immediately uses them. There are lots of different items; most help you, but some can hinder you.
* Be careful of the Random Boxes, with the question marks on them. They can temporarily double the scores you earn, grant invincibility, transform you into a monster, or lower your HP or MP.
Champion and Rage
- Periodically, the system will name the first place character as [The Champion].
- A star will appear on top of the character's head if chosen. If he can survive for a minute, he can get extra EXP and points.
- Players who defeat the champion in less than one minute can get extra EXP and points.
- Upon the fifth revival of the Champion, he will get a Rage buff that raises ATT and DEF for two minutes.
Battle Mode Rewards
* Score points by defeating your opponents. Higher scores will give more EXP and BP (Battle Points).
* BP can be traded in for Gallant Emblems through the BP Exchanger in Battle Square.
* Gallant Emblems can be used to purchase various items from Larson in Battle Square, including various accessories, Mystery Scrolls (using one gives you a random scroll), and Mystery Recipes (using one gives you a random crafting recipe).
* Gallant Emblems are also required ingredients for some crafting recipes.
* Many of the items sold by Larson give bonus Battle Mode ATT.
* Larson also sells basic arrows and crossbow arrows for mesos in case you're running low.
