“Visitors from Another World” week 2 allows players to progress to [Baiken’s] chapter of the side story. In order to proceed to the next chapter, players will need to complete the preceding chapter. You can enter or move to another chapter using the zoom button or the World Map.

[Stage]

Players will be able to obtain event currency after clearing each stage.
Event Currency for [Sol’s Story] and [Dizzy’s Story] can be exchanged for other items. Event Currency from [Baiken’s Story] and [Final Story] can be used as an entry ticket for the special tournament. Additionally, players will be able to receive a variety of items for completing Quests, Achievements, and Region Rewards.

The 8th stage of each chapter has a total of 4 difficulties. Players may select a higher difficulty after successfully clearing the one before it. Higher difficulties will result in a higher amount of event currency rewards.

■ Enhanced Heroes
The following Heroes receive benefits when used in ‘Visitors from Another World’.

■ Additional Artifact Effects

Players equipped with the Artifact, Torn Sleeve, while playing through Baiken’s Story may receive additional “Tokens for the Chosen”. This effect can only be applied once.

Please note that equipping the 5★ Artifact, Junkyard Dog or the 5★ Artifact, Torn Sleeve will not increase the amount of gold collected in the side story, Visitors from Another World.

■ Event Currency

Players can obtain “Token for the Chosen” by participating in Baiken’s Story. This currency is necessary in order to participate in the special Tournament.

■ Tournament Open

Defeat your opponents and progress to the top spot.

Players may participate in the tournament by using “Tokens for the Chosen” obtained by playing Baiken’s Story.

Overcome your enemies and receive amazing rewards!

[How to Enter]

Access the Tournament by going to the Guilty Gear side story section. On the bottom left-hand side, players can tap the [Tournament] button to begin the tutorial.

[How to Progress]

Players should select the NPC they would like to challenge in the tournament bracket. Please know that in order to advance to the next stage, you must defeat the preceding NPC. Additionally, players cannot challenge an NPC that has already been defeated.

Each battle requires the event currency “Tokens for the Chosen” and the cost to battle increases with the difficulty level of the opponent.

After successfully defeating the NPC in battle, players will receive their reward.

If a player loses a battle, the event currency “Tokens for the Chosen” will not be consumed and they will be able to attempt the battle again.

Players may only compete in Tournament [Normal] during week 2. In week 4 of the side story, players may compete in Tournament [Hard].

At the end of the side story, Visitors from another World, both tournament modes will close. After these modes have closed, players will be unable to enter them again, so be sure to complete all the challenges and claim your rewards before it ends!
