Cloud Strife challenge

“	Cloud Strife descends! A new warrior sets food in Palamecia, Mako coursing through his veins. Use every trick up your sleeve to take him down!	„
	~ In-game description

The Cloud Strife challenge was a special multiplayer event, featuring battles against Cloud (Sicarius). The event is associated with the Final Fantasy VII Collaboration Event, and was first offered in September 2019.

Event Details[]

Event type: Multiplayer battle (guest Sicarius)
Event duration: October 1 - November 1, 2019

How to Participate[]

Select Ring of Braves from the world map. Find a Party against Cloud (Sicarius) at ★3 to ★5 difficulties, or Form a Party of your own, with your choice of other players.

Level	Prize (normal)	Prize (host or using MP Stamina)
★3 "Cloud, the Feather-Headed"	3	6
★4 "Cloud, the Versatile"	5	10
★5 "Cloud, the Former SOLDIER"	7	14
★5 "Cloud & Aerith & Tifa"	7	14

Unlike normal multiplayer battles (and most event-based campaigns), there is no bonus here for "Undefeated" status. Viewed the other way, there's no reward penalty for dying! You do still have to spend a Phoenix Down or use a special Stamp (see below) to revive, though.

At ★5, Cloud starts the battle with his Omnislash ∞ Ultimate move, which may wipe out the entire party right at the start. Set up your defenses well!

At ★5 Hard Mode, Cloud is joined by Aerith (Sicarius) and Tifa (Sicarius). You must defeat ALL THREE of them to win the fight.

Defeat Cloud Campaign[]

Oct 1 - 15, 2019

This is a special campaign posted to promote fighting Cloud in the Ring of Braves. The more players that defeat Cloud on ★3 difficulty or higher, the more rewards for all players on Nov 18. There is a tally board tracking the number of victories placed next to Meia in the Ring of Braves.

If players get over 100,000 defeats, then all players will receive:

Summon Ticket x1
Growstar x1
Mystic Tablet x3
Crystal x8
Extranger★4 x8
Ability Ticket x88
Elelemental Skillseeds of each color x888,888

If players get to 200,000 victories, then all rewards are doubled.

If players get to 300,000 victories, then all rewards are TRIPLED!

Total victories only reached 180,000, so players received only a single set of rewards.

Multiplayer Stamp Bonuses[]

All players who log in during October 2019 will receive:

Multiplayer stamp "I got your back!" (A Sophie stamp.)

This can be equipped in the Social Tab: Edit Stamps.

Using this stamp during a battle in the Ring of Braves will revive your character from death with no penalty. It's a free Phoenix Down, and you don't lose your "Undefeated" bonuses!

The effect will last from Oct 1, 2019 to Nov 2, 2019.
There is a Phoenix Down logo in the corner of the stamp to indicate the effect is active.
Each player can use this once per battle, using their own stamp.
A second death -- or a player using a normal Phoenix Down -- will still spoil the "Undefeated" bonus.
