Unlocking Quests
New quests will be unlocked as the total number of bosses your crew has defeated reaches certain set numbers.
Notes:

Unparalleled Foes
An unparalleled foe appears after clearing a set number of quests. An unparalleled foe can appear up to twice a day per player during the event. Only crew members can join battles against unparalleled foes.
Daily attempts and the ability to host an unparalleled foe quest will be reset the following day at 7:00 p.m. (JST).
Additional Quests:

Valiant Battles
A Valiant Battle is a special raid battle that only crew members can join.
Once a Valiant Battle begins, all crew members will join the same battle.
Work together with your crew members to take down this powerful boss and get awesome loot!
Valiant Battle Requirements
A Valiant Battle will become playable from the 5th day of the event at 7:00 p.m. (JST), once 400,000 total crew honors have been obtained.
Valiant Battle Loot
Upon completing the battle, all crew members can obtain the following First-Time Completion Loot:
The earrings and quartz obtained will be the same element as the event's boss.
Valiant Cross
Valiant crosses, powerful attacks that deal a large amount of damage, can be triggered via special backup in Valiant Battles.
Triggering a Valiant Cross
A valiant cross can trigger whenever a participant in a Valiant Battle attacks. When a valiant cross is triggered, a crew member's star character will appear to deal huge damage to the foe. Multiple valiant crosses can be triggered from a single attack.
Cross Lvl
A foe's Cross lvl will increase by fulfilling special requirements in a Valiant Battle. The probability of triggering a valiant cross and the probability of a valiant cross chain will increase based on Cross lvl.
Honors from Valiant Crosses
Damage dealt by valiant crosses you trigger will count toward your honors, even for the honors ranking.
Other Notes
- No AP or EP will be consumed when playing a Valiant Battle, and it can be played any number of times before the event's conclusion.
- Item drops from the 2nd battle onward will vary from the 1st battle.

- Certain phenomena that is generally not possible, such as permanent status effects timing out, might occur in a battle in which no actions have been taken for 120 minutes or longer.
Special Backup
There is a chance special backup may arrive when you launch an attack or send a special backup request in battle. Upon activating, a crew member's star character will come and defeat the foe.
Honors:
You will still obtain honors based on the foe's remaining HP when special backup arrives, but honors obtained by the backup character's attack will not count toward honors rankings.
Notes:

- One crew member's star character, excluding yours, will be selected at random to provide special backup.
