■ New content: added

A nightmare unfolds in a dreamy, surreal atmosphere!

Grim and nightmarish matches continue. In the Nightmare Arena, overwhelmed by endless nightmares,

Collect Dream Shards and build your own team to claim victory!

⬥Entry Requirement

• Diamond Tier

⬥ Nightmare Arena Format

1. Select difficulty

The difficulty is divided into 5 stages:

1. Team Formation

• You can select a minimum of 1 player and a maximum of 5 players per position.

• When the arena starts, 1 player from each position will be randomly selected to form your team.

• If you build a team with 4 or more players, a random “Shared Dream” may appear in the Dream Shard choices. The more players you include, the higher the chance of it appearing.

1. Nightmare Arena Match Structure

• The Nightmare Arena consists of a total of 3 rounds.

• Each round has 4 stages, and the final stage of each round is a match against a round boss.

• You must win all stages within a round to proceed to the next round.

• Enemies become stronger as you progress through the rounds, and you must clear all rounds to win the Nightmare Arena.

1. Dream Shards

• When you obtain Dream Shards, each shard grants a specific effect that strengthens your team.

• At the start of each stage, you are given 3 Dream Shard choices. You must select one before the match begins.

• Obtaining the same Dream Shard increases its level (Lv), making its effect stronger.

• If none of the available Dream Shards are suitable, you can spend V-Points to reroll and get new options.

• If a “Shared Dream” occurs, you will receive a player substitution opportunity and +1 additional Dream Shard choice.

Some Dream Shards also have synergistic effects that become stronger when combined with each other.

Build your own combination of Dream Shards and overcome the nightmare!

※ All obtained Dream Shards are retained throughout your run in the Nightmare Arena.

1. Round Clear Time Limit

• Each round has a 15-minute clear time limit upon entry.

• The 15-minute timer is absolute and continues running even when the game is paused.

• However, while on the Dream Shard selection screen, a separate 2-minute selection timer is applied instead.

• If the 15-minute limit is exceeded, you cannot enter the stage. You must choose one of the following to continue: Give Up / Reset Round / Use Round Time Extension Ticket.

• Using a Round Time Extension Ticket adds +10 minutes to the clear time limit.

• Within the round time limit, you can retry each stage without restriction to achieve a higher score.

1. Clear Rewards

Weekly Rewards

You can obtain the following rewards upon clearing the Nightmare Arena:

The weekly maximum acquisition limits for each reward are as follows:

• There is no limit to the amount of Arena Points you can earn from clearing.
