There are Seasonal Events and Challenge Events. There is one challenge event per month. It begins on the 2nd Thursday of the month and continues through the weekend, and rotates through five possible events in the order listed below, beginning in January 2019:
- Pirates of Corellia
- Riddles of Wonderland
- Fables of Grimforest
- Guardians of Teltoc
- Knights of Avalon
During the entire weekend, the Event Summon replaces the Elemental Summon, bringing along special event heroes unique to each event. The Challenge Event itself may be accessed via the Quests button.

Competition Strategy
Because there are so many competitors, the only things that set one person's performance apart from another are their luck (i.e RNG) along with how many and which items are used.
Generally speaking, it is an expensive endeavor to reach the Top 10 of any given event. Most individuals who reach the top 10 accomplish this via purchase and use of numerous World Energy Flasks. The energy is then spent to replay poorer performing stages over and over until just one or two matches clears the entire field of enemies. Often, the items are then used to destroy enemy bosses.
