Faction Boss Info
Required Faction Boss Coins can be earned in Faction Boss Battles. The higher the difficulty, the more Coins you will get. Remember, each Level’s Reward can be earned four times by beating the Boss with a different Style. Beating a Level earns the rewards of all Levels before it. Winning with a full team of faction mates gives 2x the Faction Boss Coins.
This time, you can battle through 20 Levels starting with 4-Star Superstars to climb up the mid Levels and use higher rarities to process further and survive the upper Levels.
