Q&A and Strategy Sharing

Q. How do I achieve a perfect clear in the Familiar Expedition?
A. Check your HP requirements before you send them out.

Since Raven 2 kicked off the Grand Festival event, the community forums have been flooded with questions. This week, players are particularly curious about how to secure a 'Perfect Clear' in the Familiar Expedition.To get that perfect clear, you must meet the 'Expected HP for Perfect Clear' requirement when deploying your Familiars. Each Familiar has its own base HP, and generally, the higher the grade and level, the beefier they are. Using buffs before departure to increase your success rate is also a solid choice.

It is also crucial to craft Awakened Familiars for your expeditions. Higher-tier regions require awakened units to form an effective party. Awakening requires you to level up your Familiars, and as a bonus, they gain new skills in the process. It is a win-win, so I highly recommend investing in them for your expedition needs.

Q. How do I use the Tower of Chaos Sweep Ticket?
A. You use it to clear floors you have already completed.

We are also seeing questions about how to use the Tower of Chaos Sweep Ticket. To explain this simply, look at the comparison image provided. In this scenario, the player has cleared the Tower of Chaos up to the 17th floor and is ready to challenge the 18th. With 4 sweep tickets in hand, the 'Sweep' button is active for the 17th floor, but not for the 18th. To use the ticket, you must have cleared that specific floor at least once.
