After the version update, the next Arena settlement following your first login will count toward promotion.
In Sandbox War mode, you must configure your own Stronghold to defend against attacks from other Commanders.
During Stronghold editing, [Armaments] and [Tactical Units] can be used.
[Armaments] come in multiple types, each with different functions. Placing [Armaments] consumes a certain amount of [Capacity]. Arrange them wisely.
The number of [Tactical Units] you can deploy is limited, so choose your strongest units.
You must defend against attacks and prevent enemies from destroying your [Tactical Units] and [Arashi Particle Reservoir].
During each promotion cycle, you will be randomly assigned to a group, with a maximum of eight Commanders per group.
Challenge other Commanders' Strongholds in your group to earn points and increase your rank.
Each day, you can challenge other Commanders' Strongholds. Each challenge consumes 1 Challenge Chance. After challenging a Commander, no additional chances will be consumed when challenging them again that day.
Your Challenge Chance status resets at 00:00 each day. You can challenge up to 7 times per day, and 2 Challenge Chances will be restored at 00:00 the next day.
At the end of each promotion cycle, promotable Commanders in each group will advance to the next rank.
