Box Office Contest

Unlocks after completing Chapter 2-3 in the Main Story. Box Office Contest is a competition arena in which you can participate for free 5 chances a day. It resets at 5am (UTC-8) daily and the ranking of the day is released at 5:00-5:01 am. Every time you have 3 opponents to choose from. You can always press “Refresh” to find 3 new opponents after a 60s cooldown.

Mechanics

Theme and Guest

Your final score is based on your Company Strength, Karma Strength, Attribute Weights and Guest.

Every theme features different attributes (more specifically, different attribute weights). Any Karma with the corresponding guest has an advantage in the contest. The theme changes daily while the guest and amount of stars for the guest changes every Sunday.

Using Karma with the corresponding Guest will get a boost of depending on the number of stars for that week:

• ★★★★★ => 30%
• ★★★★ => 20%
• ★★★ => 10%

Box Office Contest Basics

You need to create a line-up of 3 Karmas which you will use to compete against others. Tap “My Lineup” to modify your Karmas according to the Guest and Suggested Attributes.

Hold on an opponent’s avatar to view his/her line-up. Then you can modify your own line-up accordingly. Once you think that you cannot beat him/her by any means, the “Refresh” button is always a choice.

The ranking follows switch rules. For opponents with ranks above you, you swap his/her rank after you beat him/her, and remain the current rank if you lose; for opponents with lower ranks than you however, your rank will remain no matter whether you win or lose. These rules also apply to any opponents that challenge you, meaning you can still lose your current ranking if a random player challenges your line-up.

Retry Cost

You can get an additional 5 retries four times a day for a total of 20 retries per day. The cost of each retry purchase is as follows:

• First 5 tries = 10 Gems each
• Next 5 tries = 30 Gems each
• Next 5 tries = 60 Gems each
• Last 5 tries = 100 Gems each

Related Achievements

Only active losses/wins where you, yourself, challenge other players count. Players who challenge you won't count towards the achievements.

• Winning Streak
  • A good strategy is to drop your rank on purpose by selecting 3 weak Karmas and leaving them in your line-up when you're not actively playing.
  • When selecting someone to challenge, choose an opponent from the very right, so that you won't go up in the Rank list again (and potentially face stronger players). Be very careful whom you challenge and refresh if you aren't sure that you will win.
  • A good moment to do this Achievement is when there is currently a Box Office Event going on, because then a lot of people will select weak Karma to drop in their ranks and make it easier to collect wins. Especially if you participate yourself and have to spend Gems for extra retries, it won't take as many days.
• Setbacks
  • A good strategy is to select the weakest 3 Karmas in your possession temporarily and challenging others to purposely lose. Double-check your opponent also doesn't have a team of weak Karma as well though. Revert your line-up back to your strongest Karma so that you won't fall too hard in your rank.

Be aware those Achievements have to be completed in a row. As soon as your streak breaks you will have to start again from the very beginning.

Limited Dawn Stone Drops

On special occasions (on CN every Month, on EN very rarely), there are Events during which every challenge, regardless of winning or losing, you receive  Dawn Stones.

The more Gems you use to reset the challenges, the more Dawn Stones drop during a challenge:

• First 5 Challenges: Drops 1 Dawn Stone each
• Next 5 Challenges: Drops 10 Dawn Stone each
• Next 5 Challenges: Drops 30 Dawn Stone each
• Next 5 Challenges: Drops 60 Dawn Stone each
• Last 5 Challenges: Drops 100 Dawn Stone each

Since you can at maximum challenge other players 25 times per day:

• you can get 1.005 Dawn Stones per day at the cost of 1.000 Gems.
• you can get 7.035 Dawn Stones for each event
• 5 Dawn Stones are free per day
• 35 Dawn Stones are free per event

Thus each  Dawn Stone is worth 1  Gem. There is no benefit of stretching the reset across multiple days, so it is fine to just complete your Dawn Stone goals as soon as possible.

The SR Karma in the Box Office Redeem Store are permanently there, but you can collect the Dawn Stones only during a limited time. You can redeem 2 SR Shards for 120 Dawn Stone each, so the ultimate cost for a SR would be around 3.000 Gems, which costs much more than when the Karmas have been originally debuted.

Assuming the Dawn Stone event would run once every month like in the CN Server, you would need around 7 years to collect one SR for free.
