## Overview

* **Origin**: Final Fantasy VIII
* **Type**: Ranked Event
* **Reference**: Announcement
* **Event Period**: 6/1/23 00:00 - 6/14/23 23:59 PST
* **Claim Period**: 6/1/23 00:00 - 6/21/23 23:59 PST

To participate in the event, players must be at least rank 50. Form a party of up to 6 unique units (companions cannot be taken into battle). Parties can be organized via the "Load" and "Save" options, which includes up to 20 save slots, separate from normal gameplay. The "Copy Party" and "Load Party" options allows the current party to be copied into a different party slot. The "Select Multiple" option allows for multiple units to be selected when creating a party, rather than normally selecting them one at a time.

Each boss for its respective area will display its elemental and damage type weaknesses before entering the battle. Bringing units and equipment that have the necessary element to take advantage of the boss's weakness will receive a +20% damage boost. There will be at least 1 battle per area.

The overall ranking is a cumulative total of points from each of the area's stages. Setting additional scores in a given stage will only overwrite the previous score, not add to it.

King Mog or Mog Minister, as well as Moogle Guard Captain will exchange various rewards for special currency within the event period. You can obtain this currency by defeating enemies inside the event vortex dungeon.

## Scoring Rules

	+ Areas 5: 29,000 (~2 billion damage)
	+ Areas 1-4: 17,000 (~1 billion damage)
 RCV | **DMG Received**: Score based on total damage taken from enemies. Increases with less damage.
	+ Max pts: 20,000
 KO | **# Times KO'd**: Score based on the number of times units were KO'd. Increases with fewer times.
* -1,000 pts per death.
 EFF | **# of Effective Attacks**: Score based on number of attacks used that are effective against the enemy's elemental weakness. Increases with more attacks.
* 1700 pts per attack
 CHN | **Max Chain**: Score based on the highest number of chains performed in one turn. Increases with more chains.
* 100 points per chain (100 = 10,000 pts)
