Highlights: Events and Features

Guardians of the event

The Guardians of the Event return to Archesia! Discover another version of Guardian Raids that pits you against three Guardians (alone or in groups) in an arena subject to harmony. To enter the arena, you must reach battle level 50 and item level 250. Your goal is to attack the event guard so that he drops the stacked bonuses three times. Bonuses will do you massive damage. When all three guards are defeated, the tokens fall into a reward box that you can open once per day per character. You can spend coins from event vendors who offer different rewards each week.

Family farm

Pet Ranch is a new part of Stronghold where pets can play, become more useful companions and help you earn valuable rewards. Cute pets are ready to help their noble owners by making jelly cakes and gaining pet experience to level up and unlock new skills.

Pets can become legendary by reaching maximum pet specialization and spending the pet booster tokens you get for jelly cookies. Various features are unlocked as the pet becomes legendary. Legendary pets gain a powerful ability (randomly), and at random intervals, one of the three effects the ability provides is applied to you during combat. There are 6 pet skills that can be randomly unlocked or changed by a pet.
