3a. Monsters, Skills and Protectors
| How to differentiate between monsters of each party? | ||||
|
||||
| How do the skills work? | ||||
| It delays the opposing party by Summoning Skills to inflict darkness, weakness, etc. It is effective in preventing the opponents from defeating the monsters. However, it requires a lot of CP and it doesn’t last long. | ||||
| How does the Protector work? | ||||
| Protector is basically a Reactor summoned to boosts the abilities of the user’s monsters. It is randomly set up at a designated place in the map. Once it is set up, a notification will be announced in the chatbox. The effects will disappear if it’s destroyed by the opposing party. | ||||
|
||||
| What happens if someone in your party dies? | ||||
| Users who died will be revived in the regeneration map. They can choose to continue in the same competition again. However, the CP of the opponent’s party will be increased. If they decide to leave, no extra points will be allocated to the opposing team. If all the members of one party died, the other party will be the winner. |
