WEB Event [X-Mas Campaign]

Xmas Campaign

Merry Christmas, everyone! With a new year just around the corner, it's time to begin the holiday festivities. Even Dudu is in on the fun, ready to deliver gifts to all the good players who participate in the X-Mas campaign.

The event begins on December 14th, tasking players with defeating a certain enemy each day. If the mission is successful, we'll unlock prizes that will be distributed in late December.

Do note, however, that the event takes place outside of the game, on the campaign's official website. More details can be found below:

How To Participate

Click the BIG YELLOW BUTTON at the Campaign's Website
Click the BIG YELLOW BUTTON at the Campaign's Website

 

Lossgin
Enter your SEGA ID and Password.
Press the green 「ログイン」 button to continue.

 

Rockbear Quest
Click on the button labeled [PUSH] to damage the enemy.
You can click on this button up to 5 times a day!

 

Retweet
Click the [Push] button again to [Retweet] the campaign on twitter.
Doing so deals even more damage to the enemy.
You can perform this action once per day.

Campaign Qualifications

  • Players can earn various prizes by participating in defeating the enemy.
  • Players can also qualify if they attack an enemy that was already defeated earlier in the day.
  • Players will have until 23:59 JST of the appointed day to qualify for the prizes listed on that day.

※ Only players who log in through the Campaign's website and press the button to damage the enemy will qualify for the prizes on that day. Merely retweeting the campaign's tweet outside of the campaign's official site will not qualify you for the prizes listed for that day.
