Up to four players with four adventurers each (up to 16 adventurers total!) can battle in the New Year's Tidings: Fortune from Afar raid event, which begins Dec 30 22:00, 2018(PT).

In this event, you can take on event-specific quests to defeat the light-element raid boss and earn rewards.

The new year is almost upon the Halidom! A group of people bringing blessings for the new year in samurai attire arrive from Hinomoto, a land to the east. But when a naginata-wielding young woman who was following that group shows up, the Halidom is thrown into an uproar! Will they all be able to safely ring in the new year?

If you increase your Friendship with Botan, a character who appears in the event, you'll be able to officially add her to your group of adventurers!

Use blazons and emblems collected during the event to get the dragon Shishimai and the Luck of the Draw wyrmprint!

■ Raid battles:

Raid battles are co-op battles where up to four players can use four adventurers each, bringing up to 16 characters to challenge a raid boss. There are three difficulty levels for raid battles: Beginner, Standard, and Expert. To participate in a raid battle, you must either create a room as the host, or join a room as a guest.

・ For Hosts:

Creating a room requires otherworld fragments and stamina. You can obtain otherworld fragments from boss battles.

・ For Guests:

Otherworld fragments are not required to participate in Co-op Play. Getherwings will be used. To challenge raid battles, you must be capable of challenging the same difficulty as the Host.

■ Extra raid battles:

After clearing a raid battle on expert difficulty, there's a chance that an Extra Raid Battle will become available. The extra raid battle will disappear once cleared. By fulfilling certain conditions, this quest will continue to appear.

・ For Hosts:

Creating a room does not require stamina, getherwings, or otherworld fragments.

・ For Guests:

No stamina, getherwings, or otherworld fragments will be expended. Players can only take part while the extra battle appears for them. The extra battle will disappear once players have cleared it as a guest.

■ Blazon summons:

Clear boss battles and raid battles to obtain peregrine blazons.

You can use the blazons you collected for the event's blazon summoning to get event-specific 5★ dragons, 4★ wyrmprints, and other rewards.
