Sage's Gauntlet

About
Sage's Gauntlet is a Global exclusive PVP (player-versus-player) gameplay mode added in April 2015 with version 1.2.

You can access Sage's Gauntlet from Holy Kingdom. Player rank 6 or above is required.

The Gauntlet
Before starting the gauntlet, you select 10 characters from your overall roster to form a gauntlet camp. Once selected, they cannot be changed until you reset the gauntlet. However, you may exit the gauntlet to play other regular content, and return later.

Gauntlet comprises of 8 battles in a dedicated map, against teams formed by other players of Chain Chronicle Global. The team's levels are matched to the average level of characters you enter, and are successively stronger as you advance through it. Although billed as a PVP game mode, in actual battle the opposing team is AI-controlled.

Certain stages of the gauntlet offers a choice of two oppoents, with a different victory reward that can be seen from the map. You can only fight one of the two. Tap the icon of the team you want to fight against to initiate the battle.

Before starting a battle, you will see the in-game name of the player who formed the opposing team, members of the opposing team, and their levels. Their sub-party members are hidden. Here you can change the party that actually enters the battle. Standard formation of 4 regular and 2 sub-party members apply, so does your regular team cost limit.

Battle mechanics are similar to regular quests, but there is no notion of wave, and with a mana slots activating periodically to supply mana. When you defeat an opposing unit, a sub-party member comes on the field, similar to how your regular sub-party works. When a battle is won, your team's HP remains as they are (see below), and 3 unused manas are carried into the next battle.

Between battles you have the option to heal 30% of your team's HP using 3 prysma. Team members that are defeated ("down") in battle cannot be revived this way.

You may reset the gauntlet once anytime. You will also have to reset if you entire gauntlet team have been defeated. You regain the ability to reset twice a day, at set times 12 hours apart.

Reward
After winning each gauntlet battle a reward can be claimed from the map. They go straight to your gift box. Among possible rewards are enhancers, prysmas, stamina or revival fruits, fortune rings, and Honor Tokens. Honor Tokens can be accumulated and are traded at Honor Exchange for various items, or used to pull from an Honor Recruit.
