New Dungeon: The Sewers

What Lies Beneath has surfaced! Are you brave enough to discover the horrors Rocheste hides in its sewers? You are beckoned to lead the crusade against the Fomors in the one place where the goddess cannot seem to reach!

• The Second Oracle
  The stench of filth lies heavy in the air. One does not think of what these
  sewer paths are filled with, they are too dangerous. Around every corner
  you’ll find contraptions meant to kill you. Nothing will stand in your way
  though, because the Goddess demands you find her!

1. What’s Boss Brawl?

• Boss Brawl is a mode where it is progressed when teamed up with Boss
  Monsters. The side that takes the opponent’s Boss down collects the
  victory of the Match. It’s a level 61 exclusive content, and all the
  Character’s equipment as well as skills are taken along just as X Match.
  The feel of teaming up and fighting together with a Boss Monster you’ve
  always battled against as an objective! Allowing your Boss Monster to
  attack is also possible after slightly taking down the fleeing opponent’s
  player from your own Boss, thus a Joint Attack.

2. How to Participate
   
   • Boss Brawl initiates through a common “set sail” from a dock!
     
     • Please heed that only levels 61 and above are able to participate. A window
       pops up asking for your mode selection when clicked the Boss Brawl icon.
       Select the mode you wish to participate. Like existing matches, participating
       as a team is also available. However, don’t forget that it’s the Party Leader’s
       job to register for participation.

3. Boss Brawl Modes
   
   • There are 2 types of Boss Brawl modes.
     

   * [b]Single Brawl[/b]
         - A brawl will progress after it’s randomly selected a Boss amongst other
           listed Boss Monsters. Bosses selected to each team will be unknown
           until the start of the brawl.

   * [b]Triple Brawl[/b]
         - The order of 3 types of Bosses can be decided on your own. It’s a system
            where the next boss appears when the first boss has been taken down.
            Like the image below, boss monsters and their order of appearance are
            selectable.

• As each and every boss possesses different attributes, qualities,
  specialties, features, etc., appropriate strategies and tactics are
  recommended. I recommend, however, the strategy of dividing up
  roles within the team. The popular trend within Korean servers is
  by taking up the enemy’s boss with attack specialists amongst
  your team while at the same time defending your own boss with
  the remaining team members.

4. Monster Assist & Boss Level-Up
   
   • In Boss Brawl 2 special elements are included.
     
     • Monster Assist
       

          - A boss monster suddenly boards in into the Boss Brawl! However
            fortunately, it’s on your side. As it is summoned, it interrupts the
            flow of the battle by appearing on stage attacking the opponent’s
            players and boss, then disappears like shadow. The scroll to summon
            these bosses is purchasable through the store with the ‘Seal of Dual.’


   * [b]Boss Level-Up[/b]
         - In Boss Brawl, bosses level-up. They can get stronger by killing enemy
           players, and even gains stamina when it levels up to the max. It is
           important to take down the opponent’s boss, however, is also important
           to keep the opponent’s boss from leveling up.

5. Rank Assessment & Reward
   • Since a new match is in town, a new reward is presented as well!
     
     • Reward: Seal of Dual
       • Rewards are distributed to the winning team according to each winning
         player’s personal kill/death ratio, damage result, etc. Each member of
         the lost team is rewarded as well. For Triple Brawls, more seals are
         obtainable than Single Brawls.

   *[b] Seal Item[/b]
         - With this seal, new items can be purchased through the Seal Store.
            Boss Brawl exclusive Monster Assist items as well as buff items that
            can be used within battles and towns are prepared.
