War Training Expansion



The War Training Expansion Event (戦力拡充計画) involves traveling through a series of maps to train your swords, while also having the chance to obtain rare swords, including Nihongou. To enter, select the event banner from the Front Lines page.

Event Period: 11 August 2015 (Tues) 17:00 until 8 September 2015 (Tues) maintenance.

How to Play
The event map is made up of 4 stages ranging from "Basic Training" to "Nihongou Search." Clearing one stage will unlock the next.

About Rewards
For each stage, we have prepared a "First Clear Bonus" for clearing the stage for the first time and "First Resource Node Rewards" for reaching resource nodes for the first time. The rewards can be resources, koban, items, etc. Normally, if your average team level exceeds the limit for the map, you will not receive any rewards. However, an exception has been made for the "First Clear Bonus" during the event.

About Stage Resets
In this event, stages will be reset each week.
 * Resets will take place during maintenance every Tuesday.

The "Stage Clear Data" and "First Clear Rewards" will be reset. Following the reset, even if you have unlocked up to stage 4, you will need to start again from stage 1. However, as the rewards have also been reset, you will be able to receive the First Clear Bonus again.

Stages
Stage 1: Basic Training - Level Limit: Lv 30 average (You can still use a team with an average level of 31+, but you will not receive any experience points) - You can receive more experience points than normal - It's a stage suitable to train low level swords

Stage 2: Intermediate Training - Level Limit: Lv 50 average (You can still use a team with an average level of 51+, but you will not receive any experience points) - Having a Tantou in your party will lead you straight to the boss node - Parties without Tantous will undertake battles with Virtual Kebiishi - Unlike normal Kebiishi, regardless of the level of your team, the strength of the Kebiishi will be preset - Nagasone Kotetsu and Urashima Kotetsu have a low chance of dropping after defeating the Virtual Kebiishi
 * Chances of obtaining are the same as normal Kebiishi fights

Stage 3: Search Training - Level limit: 99 - If your party consists of any one of the following sword types (Tachi, Oodachi, Yari, Naginata) you will not be able to pass through the bamboo on the map (i.e. route is set) - Hakata Toushirou and Akashi Kuniyuki have a low chance of dropping after defeating the boss

Stage 4: Nihongou Search - Level limit: 99 - Nihongou has a low chance of dropping after defeating the boss
 * Nihongou will also be implemented in future stages.

Furthermore, on the boss node for this stage, the chances of obtaining the following swords have been increased. The swords which have their drop rates increased will change each week following Tuesday's maintenance.


 * Week 1: August 11 - August 18 "Uguisumaru"
 * Week 2: August 18 - August 25 "Tonbokiri"
 * Week 3: August 25 - September 1 "Iwatooshi"
 * Week 4: September 1 - September 8 "Atsu Toushirou" "Hirano Toushirou" "Mikazuki Munechika"

Tips
Rules we’ve figured out so far:

STAGE 1: Level limit: 30

STAGE 2: Level limit: 50; Guaranteed KBC when you have no tantous in the team; Guaranteed boss node with at least 1 tantou in the team

STAGE 3: No level limit; Tachis Oodachis Yaris and Naginatas cannot pass through the bamboo^

STAGE 4: No level limit; Same as above with bamboo*; Potential Nihongou drop at boss node

^Passing through the bamboo is not necessary to get to boss node, so it is advised you bring one of these swords to help you get to boss. However, you need to pass through them to get to resource nodes (where you can get gold troops)
