<br>
<br>
{{NewsBalloonRight|News emote Feh blush right.png|Loki can be pretty scary...but I'm looking forward to it anyway!}}<br>
<br>
{{NewsTitle|1=<span style="font-weight: bold;">■ Steps for Playing the Event</span>}}<br>
<br>
1. Draft Forma units in the {{NewsAccent|Setup Phase}}.<br>
2. Automatically battle foes in the {{NewsAccent|Battle Phase}}.<br>
3. Your {{NewsAccent|score}} is calculated based on the results of the battle and type bonuses!<br>
<br>
Steps 1 through 3 are repeated for nine turns. After all turns have taken place, your total score will be recorded.<br>
<br>
{{NewsTitle|1=<span style="font-weight: bold;">■ Setup Phase</span>}}<br>
<br>
This is the phase where you gather the Forma you will use in the Battle Phase.<br>
<br>
Every turn, you will receive an allotment of {{NewsIcon|Guide Pawns of Loki war funds.png}}{{NewsAccent|war funds}} equal to twice the turn number. Use these war funds to draft Forma from the shop. The Forma available in the shop are selected at random from the Heroes in your brigade. Their levels are also determined at random, and the higher the Forma's level, the more war funds it costs to draft them.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">[[File:Guide Pawns of Loki war funds 2.jpg|640px|class=banner]]</div><br>
・ You draft Forma by moving them from the row of Forma at the bottom of the screen to the team window in the center of the screen. <br>
・ You can discharge Forma you don't need and receive war funds in return by moving them from your team to the bottom of the screen. (You will only receive a full refund the first time you discharge a Forma each turn. For each subsequent discharge on the same turn, you will get half of the war funds back.)<br>
・ You can tap the button to the top left of your draftable Forma to refresh your selection. (Only the first refresh each turn is free. Each subsequent refresh on the same turn will cost war funds.)<br>
・ The green window shows Forma that will participate in the battle. The gray window shows reserve Forma that will not participate in the battle. <br>
<br>
You will still have access to any remaining war funds in the next Setup Phase. <br>
<br>
{{NewsIcon|Icon new.png}}{{NewsAccent|About Trio Forma}}<br>
<br>
Draft three of the same Forma onto your team to create a Trio Forma. The three Forma will merge into one and level up {{NewsAccent|10 levels}}.<br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">[[File:Guide Pawns of Loki Trio Forma.jpg|640px|class=banner]]</div><br>
Forma that become a Trio Forma will cost two additional war funds to draft. Also, all ally Forma and any Forma available in the shop when the Trio Forma is triggered will level up two levels.<br>
<br>
{{NewsTitle|1=<span style="font-weight: bold;">■ Battle Phase</span>}}<br>
<br>
In this phase, you compete in battles and aim for a high score. In turns 1 through 3 you battle Emblian soldiers, and from turn 4 onward, teams created by other players appear as enemies. <br>
<br>
<div style="text-align: center;">[[File:Guide Pawns of Loki Battle Phase 2.jpg|640px|class=banner]]</div><br>
Battles begin after changes to unit stats from combos and skill effects are applied.<br>

{{NewsIcon|Icon new.png}}{{NewsAccent|About the Battle Phase}}<br>
<br>
Battle Phase progression:<br>
In the Battle Phase, all battles take place automatically. Units will attack the enemies closest to them, prioritizing targets in the below order, until all enemy or ally units can no longer act.<br>
・ Forma in the front > Forma in the back<br>
・ Forma with a high level<br>
・ Forma with high Spd<br>
・ Your Forma > Enemy's Forma<br>
・ Forma on the left side of the battlefield screen<br>
<br>
When a Forma attacks an enemy, they will move to the space in front of the enemy they are attacking as necessary.<br>
<br>
Characteristics of the Battle Phase:<br>
There are some aspects of Pawns of Loki battles that are different from standard battles.<br>
<br>
・ Forma actions<br>
Forma will only attack enemies and will not take other actions.<br>
<br>
・ Skills<br>
The below skills will not be activated.<br>
<br>
{{NewsTap|1=tap9|2=All Assist Skills
|3=Skills that are activated by Assist Skills<br>
Duo and Harmonized Skills}}<br>
{{NewsTap|1=tap10|2=Skills related to movement
|3=Examples: [[Knock Back]], [[Flier Formation]], and [[Armor March]].<br>
<br>
However, skills triggered by movement-altering skills, such as [[Gravity]] or Armor March, will still be activated.<br>
<br>
Examples: [[Persecution Bow]] (movement penalty from Gravity) or [[Garm]] (movement bonus from Armor March)}}<br>
{{NewsTap|1=tap11|2=Other skills that do not activate during combat
|3=Examples: [[Live for Honor]] and [[Disarm Trap]]}}<br>
Skills that activate at the beginning of the turn, such as [[Hone Atk]], will activate after the Battle Phase combos are applied, according to how units are positioned on the board.<br>
<br>
Skills that activate during combat have their effects calculated based on the Forma's position when the combat takes place, after having completed their movement.<br>
<br>
Also, Save skills equipped by enemies will not activate.<br>
<br>
{{NewsTitle|1=<span style="font-weight: bold;">■ Earning a Score</span>}}<br>
<br>
On each turn after the end of the Battle Phase, your score will go up based on the results of that turn.<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">○ Base Score</span><br>
<br>
Your base score will be calculated based on difficulty level and Tier, plus an amount totaling {{NewsAccent|how much HP your team has remaining minus how much HP the enemy team has remaining}}.<br>
<br>
<br>
{{NewsBalloonRight|News emote Sharena relieved.png|The difference between your team's HP and the enemy team's HP will always be at least zero. Don't worry—you can't lose points here!}}<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">○ Bonus Weapon Type Score</span><br>
<br>
If there are Forma with the bonus weapon type on your team on turn four or beyond, a bonus (up to a maximum of 100) will be added to your score based on their number.<br>
<br>
Example of teams for which a bonus of 100 (the maximum) will be added:<br>
<br>
<table style="border-collapse: collapse; border-spacing: 0;">
<tr>
<th style="padding: 5px; background-color: #9c9c9c; border: 1px solid #b9b9b9;">Team size</th>
<th style="padding: 5px; background-color: #9c9c9c; border: 1px solid #b9b9b9;">1 to 3</th>
<th style="padding: 5px; background-color: #9c9c9c; border: 1px solid #b9b9b9;">4 to 6</th>
<th style="padding: 5px; background-color: #9c9c9c; border: 1px solid #b9b9b9;">7 to 8</th>

</tr>
</table><br>
<br>
<br>
{{NewsBalloonRight|News emote Alfonse slight smile.png|The bonus weapon type changes with each battle, so don't forget to reform the brigade if necessary!}}<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">○ Victory Bonuses</span><br>
<br>
You will get 200 points added to your score if your team's remaining HP is higher than the enemy team's. If you defeat all of the enemy team's units you will get an additional 50 points.<br>
<br>
If there are still turns remaining after receiving your score, the next Setup Phase will begin. If you suffer more than two losses in a row in the Battle Phase, the amount of war funds you receive in the next Setup Phase will be 1.5 times the normal amount. <br>
<br>
<br>
{{NewsBalloonRight|News Anna Reaction Bad.png|Don't get discouraged—use the extra war funds to clinch a victory next turn!}}<br>
{{NewsTitle|1=<span style="font-weight: bold;">■ Rewards</span>}}<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">○ Cumulative Points Rewards</span><br>
<br>
You can receive {{NewsAccent|[[Orb]]s}}, {{NewsAccent|Dragonflowers}}, {{NewsAccent|[[Divine Code: Ephemera|Divine Codes (Ephemera)]]}}, and more based on how many points you earn (how high your score goes).<br>
<br>
You can earn {{NewsAccent|three times as many points}} during the first game on any given day, so be sure to play each day!<br>
<br>
<span style="font-weight: bold;">○ Tier Rewards</span><br>
<br>
If you attain a high score relative to other players, you will move up a Tier in Pawns of Loki. When you move up a Tier, you can earn {{NewsAccent|Orbs}} and {{NewsAccent|[[Hero Feather]]s}}. Tier rewards are distributed when the event ends.<br>
<br>
