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. ----------------------------- 3. 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. ----------------------------- 4. 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. ----------------------------- 5. 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. ----------------------------- 6.
