Expedition HARD Mode Added!
Overview
The new Expedition HARD Mode has been added after the Version 1.3.5 maintenance.
Kaiju that appear in HARD Mode are significantly stronger.
Take advantage of loot found only in HARD Mode to achieve greater distances!
Availability Period
After the maintenance
Eligibility
Reach 1,500 km in Expedition NORMAL Mode.
*The Kaiju that appear in HARD Mode are extremely powerful. We recommend challenging this mode when your attack and HP effect values increased by acquired loot are 2,500% or higher.
Event Description
Expedition HARD Mode is unlocked after reaching 1,500 km in NORMAL Mode (the playable Expedition before this update).
You can select NORMAL or HARD for your next deployment from the Deployment Prep screen.
The basic gameplay and rules remain the same as Expedition NORMAL Mode.
Kaiju stats in HARD Mode are significantly increased compared to NORMAL Mode.
Loot obtained by progressing through HARD Mode is separate from the loot obtainable in NORMAL Mode. You cannot obtain NORMAL Mode loot in HARD Mode.
The effects of obtained loot are always active in both modes, regardless of which mode they were acquired from.
Updates with Addition of HARD Mode
Increased the rank limit for units.
Added new skills obtainable when units reach a certain rank.
Added NORMAL, HARD, and Misc. to the Acquisition Mode filter in Loot Overview. Loot categorized as Misc. includes loot purchased on the Deployment Prep screen using Command Rewards or Dimensional Crystals.
Loot acquisition rates for NORMAL and HARD Modes can now be checked on the Loot Overview screen.
Important
With this Expedition update, any ongoing Expedition will be treated as a retreat, and you will start again from the Deployment Prep screen. Please note that you will not obtain any loot, Expedition Points, or Command Rewards from that Expedition. Thank you for your understanding.
