Event Details

  • Hero's Leap is an event that supports a character's growth, targeting Lv. 115+ characters.

  • You can designate 1 Lv. 115+ character, within your account, during the event period to participate in the Hero's Leap event.

    • However, after the new 'Lumielle' character update, you can designate an additional character.

  • In order to designate a character, you must log in with the character and go to the Event UI, by clicking on the Hero's Leap icon on the bottom right side of the screen, then select 'Proceed.'

  • You cannot cancel or change your designated characters after starting Hero's Leap.

  • You can complete 3 categories of missions, 'Growth,' 'Departure,' and 'Town,' with the character designated for Hero's Leap.

  • After completing each mission with the Hero's Leap character, you can claim the designated reward for that mission.

  • Upon completing all missions in the 'Growth' and 'Departure' category, a new category, 'Challenge,' will unlock.

  • Upon designating a character, some of the missions from each category will automatically complete, based on the character's current growth stage. You can then immediately receive the rewards without any additional steps.

    • However, for the 'Obtain +13 Enhancement Rune (Orna Weapon, Armor)' mission and 'Obtain Rank 5 Enchant Scroll Destiny Box' mission, those must be cleared by purchasing the items from the Ardri Seal Shop. If there's no purchase record within the Exchange Shop for the character, they will not be automatically completed or give rewards.

  • To see more details regarding Hero's Leap progress, check the [Hero's Leap Guide] document.
