The Branded Knights of the Shade



''The depraved Intellect was no more. A rotten emanation swept out over the land seeking new vessels that emanated the potential of animosity and violence.

The skies have turned to pitch! A band of knights rides with a cape of nightmares at their back!

No safe Haven remains.

Will you battle the accursed knights, or become one of the twisted yourself. What fate awaits you?''

DISCLAIMER : The following is speculation based on previous events.
Actual information will be added when available.

The Branded Knights of the Shade will be the sixth Raid Event. You will explore an Event Quest dungeon using Stamina. A boss will appear to fight you at random intervals. Fighting the boss, using a percentage of your ATK POWER Points, will award Raid Medals and increase your Ranking Points. By completing floors you earn rewards, and increase your Raid Attack Bonus. The more Raid Bosses you defeat, the stronger they become, regardless of the floor you are on. When enough raid bosses have been defeated, the Gargantuan Raid boss will appear. All players must work together to defeat this strong entity.
