A Frosty Offensive

This is a global exclusive event for Christmas. Cooperate and compete with other players to get points and collect great rewards.

### Story

As the holiday season approaches, people and children are celebrating and enjoying the festive atmosphere.

However, an evil and greedy band of snowmen emerges from deep within the snowy forest to spoil the joyous celebration taking place in the world of Lapis. Overwhelmed by fear and desperation, its people seek the help of Rain and his friends to defeat these evil snowmen and bring back peace. They must now vanquish these unjolly foes and recover all the stolen presents.

## Rewards

All rewards will be sent to your mailbox. Individual rewards can be collected as soon as you get enough points, but group and rank rewards will only be distributed on 1/9. You need to get at least 1 point to be eligible for group and ranking rewards.

## Guide

### Total Energy for Individual Rewards

* By clearing all dungeons for the first time, you'll get 305 Event Points.
* If you grind in ELT, you can get all rewards by doing 73 runs + 1 run of INT and will give you 11.695 Event Points. 73 runs + 1 run INT = 1.465 Energy (IE: 5~6 runs per day minimum)
* If you grind in PRO, you can get all rewards by doing 130 runs and will give you 11.700 Event Points. 130 runs = 1.950 Energy. (IE: 9~10 runs per day minimum)
* Needless to say, but if you have a team strong enough to farm Dread Frost Arrives ELT, you can get 240 Event Points per 23 Energy = 10.43 Event Points per Energy, which is way better than the usual ELT at 160 Event Points per 20 Energy = 8 Event Points per Energy. The same thing goes for Rank Exp, at 32.5 Rank Exp per Energy on regular ELT versus 33.91 Rank Exp per Energy on Dread Frost's ELT.
* Likewise, Dread Frost Arrives PRO gives you 7 Event Points per Energy, while the usual PRO gives you 6 Event Points per Energy, so if you can't farm ELT, you should nonetheless farm PRO.

### General Tips

* Bring elemental resistance abilities like Barblizzara, Winter Ward (if you managed to beat Dread Frost Arrives ELT), Baraerora, Omni-Veil, or Rainbow Veil.
* Cerius' Barblizzaga offers +70% ice resistance for 3 turns.
* Ice Armor and Ice Shield are useful for additional ice resistance (+50% ice resistance each). Recipe for ice armor can now be found in the Abandoned Orphanage/Exploration in a silver chest using a Magic Key.
* Shiva adds an additional +50% ice resistance, allowing a unit to potentially hit +100% ice resistance.
* The Horror Boxes can cast Death to KO one of your units.
* Use Medius with Draw Attacks (passive) and cast Mirage from Mirage Vest and Cover from Golem to draw the death spells and smash! to him. Then use raise.
* The Horror Boxes are susceptible to Sleep and Blind.
* The Frostor is susceptible to Imperil.
* Chain fire element spells and abilities like Firaga, Heat Blitz, and Fire Flask.
* The Frostor is partially resistant to break abilities.
* The Chirijiraden and other fire elemental weapons are very useful. Use in combination with AoE physical skills like Luneth's Hit All, Lightning's Blitz (FFXIII), Gilgamesh's Snowpetal, or Chizuru's Phantom Shadow to achieve high elemental chains.
* The Frostor and the Horror Boxes are considered demons. Bring Demon Killer from Diabolos for extra damage.
