■About Arena Skill
The Ramen Battle Arena will feature arena-specific adjustments to skills, stats, etc.

【Scorching! Hot & Spicy Ramen】
The 4th Contest will be held along with this theme.
The theme for this time is Hot ＆ Spicy ramen, which has a certain level of popularity.
Regardless of personal preferences, spicy ramen can be delicious, don't you think?
Let's challenge the RBA 4th contest by leveraging our employees who are skilled in making spicy ramen and have the Fire attribute!
About Arena skill of 4th Contest, we had not been able to notify users of the targeted status and effect value of them due to the last minute balance adjustments. However, it has been decided and we would like to inform users about them.

■Ramen Battle Arena 4th Contest Arena Skill (adjustments)
・All statuses of Fire Employees increase when cooking Ramen.
・5% boost of ATK of Fire Employees at every turn
・All statuses decrease by 10% except for Fire Employees.
・250% boost of Max HP of all Employees.
・If using Recover skills in the Arena, do not include 250% boost.
・If you use debuff in the Arena, the target's status is not reduced to 40% or less.

*The above rule is only applied to the 4th Contest.

Changes since the last Contest
・Add [All statuses of Fire Employees increase when making ramen.]
・Add [5% boost of ATK of Fire Employees at every turn]
・Add [All statuses decrease by 10% except for Fire Employees.]
・Delete Status Boost to Wind Attribute and Beast.
・Delete Making Ramen with Speed and Cooking.


■Changes to RBA's Ranking Rewards by New Work
We apologize for the wait, but we would like to inform users about how the results of RBA will be reflected in the new Work specifications that have been implemented since April 1st.
There are two changes from previous RBA.

The first is that the Ramen score earned in RBA will be reflected in the new Work.
We will apply different magnification rates depending on the Tier you belong to when reflecting the results.

▼Magnification rates in each Tier
・Tier1 x2.00
・Tier2 x1.75
・Tier3 x1.50
・Tier4 x1.25
・Tier5 x1.00

We'll use examples where the total points for winning and losing are 500 and 210 points, respectively, which includes any bonuses and Special Toppings.

Example 1) If you win in Tier2 and cook a Ramen with 500 pt, 500 pt x 1.75 = 875 pt will be reflected in your Work Ramen score.

Example 2) If you lose in Tier3 and cook a Ramen with 210 pt, 210 pt x 1.50 = 315 pt will be reflected in your Work Ramen score.

As we explained, regardless of whether you win or lose, the points earned at the end of the battle will be multiplied by a magnification rate and reflected in the new Work immediately. Even if you lose the battle, it will be reflected, so make use of this opportunity.

Also, as for the calculation when cooking Ramen in RBA, the same calculation as in the previous RBA will be used.
*Please note that rewards earned in Work will be reflected sequentially after the daily update from 04:00 (JST).

By maintaining a higher Tier, you can also receive benefits in Ramen points in Work, so aim for a higher Tier.

The second is that the Ranking Reward in each Tier.
Although we had announced in the previous notices that we would include Skill Hidden Book as the rewards, we have decided not to include it in this time as we have not reached the level of content that satisfies our users after careful consideration.
We apologize for the change from the announced details.

About the Ranking rewards in this time, we will distribute [RBA Ticket (April)] that can be exchanged for various items such as training materials or Rare Ingredients.
Please note that [RBA Ticket (April)] has an expiration date, and the next and following RBA rewards will be changed.
For the detailed shop lineup, please check the information [About the exchange of RBA Ticket (April) ].

We are now preparing [RBA Medal] that can be exchanged for Skill Hidden Book and training materials as the RBA Ranking rewards after May.
You can get [RBA Medal] in the RBA Ranking Reward in the future. We expect it can be exchanged for Employee or various useful items for game playing in the Shop.

Also, we are considering the implemention of features that honors the efforts of the top RBA players.
The last thing is to note. Regarding the rewards design and its contents, there is a possibility of changes that will be implemented after review and consideration from time to time. We apologize for any inconvenience this would cause to users, and we appreciate your cooperation in making the game better and more interesting.

■About the Basic Rule of RBA
Please review the following information for the basic rules of the Ramen Battle Arena.

■About the [Ramen Battle Arena] top display.
At [Ramen Battle Arena] top display, you can check current ranking, the next ranking update, and your party.
Rankings are automatically updated every 15 minutes.
When the ranking updates it changes according to the cumulative ranking points.
Also the opponents will be automatically updated.

■About the Ramen Battle Arena Party Formation
Tapping the [Formation] button on the [Ramen Battle Arena] top display will take you to the [Arena Party Formation], where you can form an arena party.
This Party Formation is a party that can only be used in the Ramen Battle Arena.
The arena is a 5-on-5 battle. Be sure to have a party of 5 Employees.

■About Pick Ingredients
You will be cooking in the Ramen Battle Arena, but unlike usual Ramen cooking, the finished Ramen will be made specifically for the Ramen Battle Arena.
The recipe is the same as regular Ramen, so pick ingredients use your experience in regular Ramen cooking.

■About opponent selection
Choose one of the five opponent and start battle.
At this time, Special Topping bonuses will vary depending on your party formation and ranking.
The stronger the opponent, the higher the Special Topping bonus tends to be.
So you should consider your strategy and party formation, and decide who you want to battle with.

If you wish to update opponent, you can do so by spending Goku coin.
Please be careful. In this case, the next opponents will be not automatically updated.

■About BP
In Ramen Battle Arena, unlike the Stamina at Dungeons, you need to consume BP to battle.
The maximum BP is 5, and restores 1 every two hours.
Let's aim higher place by consuming BP efficiently.

■About Win and Lose of Battle.
The turns in the dungeon are 10 turns. The arena battle will also be 10 turns.
However, in the arena battles, there is only 1 wave, and this is called the Arena Wave.
If you eliminate opponent party, you win. On the other hand, if you are eliminated your party, you lose.
In the unlikely event that the same number of Employees are down,And in the unlikely event that the same number of Employees,The party with the higher ratio of remaining HP wins.


■About skill activation requirements
Skills will be activated with the same conditions and effects as in the dungeon.
In addition, in Arena Wave, all skills that include [wave] in activation requirements will be able to be activated.

■About the Condition at RBA
The Conditions such as Poison or Regeneration will be activated under the same rule as Dungeon.
Therefore, there is a possibility that both your party and the opponent party will be eliminated at the same time.
At this time, the result of the battle will be [Lose] and after that transferred to the [Ramen finished Confirm Score] at Lose situation.
The score is calculated as a Lose also.

■About Party's Power
Party's Power shows the total value of all statuses, including Cooking and Service, which are not directly related to battles.
And it does not include the skills that the other party has set and their skill levels.
In other words, the higher or lower power does not necessarily determine the winner.
Consider a winnable party formation based on the opponent's composition and skills to fight.That is important.

■About ranking points
Regardless of whether the battle is won or lost, Ramen will be made. And Ranking points are got by the quality of this Ramen.
Rankings in the competition are determined by the total of Ranking points.
The quality of Ramen will be determined by the following factors.

・Ramen points per bowl determined by pick ingredients before the battle begins.
・Bonuses based on opponent's and own party composition.
・Bonus with the special toppings
・Bonuses based on wins and losses and battle details

■Finalization of Rankings
If there are multiple users with the same ranking points at the time of the last update of the ranking, the highest ranking will be given to the user who reached the ranking point earliest.

For example, if a user reaches 1000 pts at 14:00 and another user reaches 1000 pts at 15:00, the user who reached 1000 pts at 14:00 will be ranked higher.

Please be aware that the final ranking will be determined based on this rule with no same ranking place, and rewards will be given and tiers will be divided accordingly.
