Minigame? Miniguide! Black Knight

Welcome, everyone!
Okay, it's been long since we had the minigame implemented, but there hasn't been much discussion around. The Black Knight minigame started as a joke and then became real, and its "plot" is centered around the Ultimea chapters (so beware Spoilers just in case!). And unlike events, it's not time-limited, so you can play if you have a certain furniture, or at one of your friends' land. The recipe is not hard.

But what do I obtain from this minigame?
Most people observed how the Crystas and Spina were exclusive from that minigame, so why would we keep playing if not for pure entertainment? Here's your answer:


Besides the known rewards, we have 3 exclusive BGMs for our maps. The basic minigame music, and the first 2 bosses ones. Gwaimol and Ornlarf are already MQ bosses, so they may be obtainable in a future in the traditional way (playing Guitar Hero + boss crysta). As you can see, Felien's theme is a bit different, and the Lyark's theme also played when you confronted Tigris Machinas in Triet's garden.
In the game itself, once you beat Ornlarf for the first time, you can play as yourself.

The weapon is still Balft's axe, and none of your stats affects this. Only your in-minigame build.
Okay, so how do I start?
First of all, enjoy it, try and fail as much as you like. But the most helpful thing is to get spina, so you can earn good Crystas. You'll see your progress in the main menu:

You are the one who decides which Crystas work the best, but for me, the best one is Mirage Evasion. There's a huge difference between timing your jumps to evade the attacks and just running past enemies. It consumes one of the 5 possible MP points, but it's worth it. Specially for Felien's fight, since she's the fastest boss.
After that, you'll probably do an ATK, CRIT (someone did that in YouTube) or DEF build, which depends on your preferences. You can complete the remaining 0 MP Crystas as you like, even if Magic doesn't provide much damage in general.
Let's go on!
By now you've learned most of the monster/boss patterns. Dark Stavros Machina attacks faster than the regular one, Gwaimol's moves are quite exaggerated... And you can use enhancement to further improve your stats or regenerate hearts (while you do so, the game is paused). You've completed the game more than once and all you get is... 3900 points? That's what I got in my first wins. But you want to get this, or more!

That's when you realize that you haven't fully completed the Crysta list.
What do I need?
You must think whether you're focusing on score or spina, in this case we need Spina to get those enigmatic gray Crysta. Even some of them help you earn more, but you won't be able to save that score for Emblem purposes.

Finally, you'll have bought all of them, so now pay attention: unequip all those "Score will not be recorded" Crysta and use instead the weakening ones. Why? Because you'll get many additional points for beating each boss. Your goal for the last emblem is 20000 points. By now you'll know which type of build you have, so you'll choose what to weaken. My advice? Magic and one or two more things.
How weak will I have to be?
You don't need to use all of them, of course. I don't recommend trying to get 20k at Felien, but ending her fight as soon as possible, since her comrades are easier to evade. With this build, I got more than 6700 points at the last three fights, so it could be a good example for you:

• Mirage Evasion and Magic Lost (as I recommended before)
• Heart Booster I + Heartless make a total of 2 hearts
• My preferred asset (ATK) and weakness (Death Truffle)
• 0 MP filler Crystas that help a bit, but aren't that important

Additional thoughts?
Yeah, let's speak about enhancement. While at first I thought it would take too many points, the gray Crysta provide enough to compensate. By playing repeatedly, you'll know how many Spinas to spend. In my case, it was around 3800 (using Discount), more focused on ATK than DEF. If you succeed, you'll get three new BGMs for your land! After getting the emblems, you'll just have to exit your land and Toram for a moment, restart the app, and they'll be there!


Thank you for reading this and I hope it'll help someone! Any thoughts about the game? Would you have expected Ruzart or Brahe as one of the bosses? Even Venena? Do you think there'll be future updates? Or do you feel like this?


Anyways, have fun!

 

Something I learned today, is that the arcades are shared by people corresponding to the land your in. So your friend can help earn Xtals for you by using the arcade in your land. Likewise, if someone has all the Xtals, you can use theirs and get the 20k emblem using theirs.
