Uncharted Village of Challenges (Practice)



In a certain era, located at a certain site, exists a village shrouded in thick mist. That location becomes a place where the Sword Boys can test their abilities.

Event Period: 29 September 2015 (Tues) 19:00 until 6 October 2015 (Tues) Japan Standard Time.

How to Play

 * Every time you go into the event map, it consumes a one-way pass. You are given three, which naturally replenishes twice a day at 5:00 and 17:00 JST (GMT+9). You can replenish all three for 100 koban once you run out. However, you can only restore these passes 10 times (maximum 1000 koban spent) per day.
 * Reaching a node triggers a card draw. You will be given a randomly-selected card from 11 types (see below), and you will proceed along the map depending on the effects of the drawn card. Appearance rates of each card increases as you go along the maps.
 * You will encounter enemy troops consisting of only one sword type (e.g. 6 tantous, 6 uchigatanas) when you draw an enemy card. The enemy card will indicate which type of sword you are going against. Enemies are grouped by sword type: tantou, uchigatana, tachi, yari, and naginata. The difficulty of these enemies will depend on your map level.
 * If you are unfortunate enough to draw a type of enemy card a second time, you will confront an enemy of extraordinary difficulty. Beware, these enemies can defeat even an all lvl 99 team! Once all your swords are defeated, you will be sent back to the citadel, and the sortie will be recorded in your player log as a loss/failed match.
 * If your troops/swords have fled from battle either by drawing the dokuya or bomb card, they will be intact and will be waiting for you in the citadel upon your return.

Type of Cards

 * Jade Beads: you will earn # of beads displayed on tag
 * Enemy: an enemy appears. Should you draw the same type of card 2 time in one run, a super-strong version of the enemy appears.
 * Dokuya (Poison Dart): 1-3 swords will flee from your party (assumed poisoned) and will not be able to participate in combat for the rest of the stage.
 * Bomb: 1-5 of your troops will flee from combat for the rest of the stage.
 * Trap/Pitfall: you will lose 1-9 beads obtained.
 * Kaika (Mysterious Fire): you will get double (x2) the amount of beads after obtaining this card. if another kaika is obtained, you will go back to getting x1 the amount of beads.

Difficulty: Easy
Konnosuke: This is the uncharted area shrouded in mist, the [Village of Challenges]. Befitting of its name, this place tests the abilities of the disciplined Touken Danshi. Even if the Touken Danshi get injured to the point that they are heavily damaged, after the battle is over, they will return to their previous state albeit they will still be fatigued. Because this place is safe to be used as training place, please use this location to drill their power to your heart’s content!

Furthermore, this is only a rehearsal practice for the real thing. So use this chance to play and get used to the system! In this place, according to the design on the card that you draw for each node, various effects will occur. If you draw a trap card, it can disable your Touken Danshi or troops from the battle, or else makes you lose the beads you have gathered. If you draw enemy card, you’ll get a confrontation with enemies. Furthermore, if you draw the same enemy type for the second time, the enemy you face will be extraordinarily strong.

Should your group leader get incapacitated and the group must retreat from the battlefield, you will lose all the beads you have collected. Thus, if you think it’s getting dangerous, please return to the citadel at once. The type and amount of the cards you have drawn are displayed on the top right. Please decide whether your troop should advance or return to the citadel based on the number and type of cards remaining.

In accordance to the number of beads you bring back to the citadel, you will receive various rewards. Do your best!

Difficulty: Medium
Konnosuke: Along with the increasing difficulty, you will get more amounts of beads. However, since stronger enemies will appear a lot, please be careful.

Difficulty: Hard
Konnosuke: In this [Difficulty: Hard] map, the key is not to force yourself to advance until boss node and return in the middle of the map. That’s especially true since drawing the 2nd card of the same enemy type will pit you against dangerously strong enemies. Do not push yourself too hard in order to defeat enemy and just return if you feel in danger. Maybe that’s the shortcut to get heaps of beads!?

Difficulty: Expert
Konnosuke: Since this [Difficulty: Expert] map boasts more enemy appearances than previous maps, traversing it until the end might prove to be difficult. In the middle of your journey, if you have collected plenty of beads, I advise you not to force yourself and return to the citadel!
