Updates from the Previous Rotation
Strategy Cards that are only valid for the next battle are now easier to identify.
A score table has been added so you can check your total potential score across all battles in your current run. It can be viewed via the Strategy Card selection screen or by pausing during a battle and selecting Settings > Score Info.
A round limit has been added to Designated Kaiju Battles.
After a Designated Kaiju Battle, buff cards with high score multipliers will now be guaranteed to appear.
Event Description
In Kaiju Rush, you will take on consecutive battles with a single squad while carrying over elements such as HP and SP from battle to battle.
Kaiju Rush does not require Stamina to challenge.
In between battles, you can select a Strategy Card. Strategy Cards have various effects, such as Buff and Recovery. They will play an important role during your challenge.
Additionally, the Strategy Card you selected will affect your Rush Score from winning the battle.
Powerful "designated Kaiju" appear during the rush or in the final battle. Defeating them grants a large score.
By achieving exclusive Kaiju Rush missions, you can earn various rewards.
Kaiju Rush is divided into multiple areas, each with 4 difficulties. If you clear a higher difficulty with the maximum Rush Score, all quests on lower difficulties will automatically be considered cleared with a max score, with all the designated Kaiju battles considered won.
During the event period, the areas that can be challenged will unlock every two days.
Strategy Cards
In Kaiju Rush, you can select one Strategy Card after each battle.
A Strategy Card can grant a Rush Score increase for that battle based on the multiplier indicated on it.
There are two types of Strategy Cards: cards with Buff/Recovery effects that give you an edge in the battles, and cards with Debuff effects that put you at a disadvantage.
Cards with Buff/Recovery effects provide a smaller score increase, while cards with Debuff effects provide a larger score increase.
Incapacitated characters cannot participate in the next battle. However, if you select a Strategy Card with an HP Recovery effect, they can rejoin the fight in the next battle.
Support Effects
Each area in Kaiju Rush has different Support Effects you can obtain.
Make full use of these Support Effects to gain an advantage in neutralizing Kaiju.
Missions
There are 2 types of missions in Kaiju Rush.
▽ Rush Score Missions
Earn rewards based on your total cumulative score from all areas.
A total of 1,000 Dimensional Crystals can be earned by clearing all stages (up to HARD difficulty) in all areas with the maximum score.
▽ Designated Kaiju Battle Win Count Missions
Earn rewards based on your designated Kaiju battle win count. (*The win count is only increased upon your first victory against the designated Kaiju. Multiple victories in the same designated Kaiju battle will not increase the win count.)
A total of 1,000 Dimensional Crystals can be earned by winning all Designated Kaiju Battles (up to HARD difficulty) in all areas.
For more details about the missions, please head to Kaiju Rush > Rush Missions.

Important
Once the event ends, Kaiju Rush rewards will no longer be available (and will not be sent to your Mail). Please remember to claim them within the event period.
On the Strategy Card selection screen, you can choose to suspend your current Kaiju Rush run, and resume the quest afterward by pressing the "In Progress" button.
Suspended battle data is held for 12 hours. Please be aware that if this time limit is exceeded, your current quest progress and score will be discarded.
When the quest ends (whether by clearing or upon defeat), the Rush Score you have earned up to that point will be saved.
