Dear CEOs,
The On and Hot Time event from September 11 to 17 is scheduled as follows.
Please read carefully to use all vital buffs to enhance your company.

Thank you.

[h3]◆ On-Time Event Schedule[/h3]

• September 12, 00:00 ~ September 17, 2024, 23:59 (UTC+9)
  
• September 12, 10:00 ~ September 17, 2024, 09:59 (UTC-5)
  

[h3]◆ On-Time Event Gift[/h3]

• 300,000 Credit
  
• 5,000 Eternium
  
• 1 Fusion Core
  

[h3]◆ How to Participate in the On-Time Event[/h3]

• Event gifts will be given to your mailbox every day upon login.
  

[h3]◆ Hot Time Event Buff[/h3]

1) 20% Decreased Eternium Cost on Operations
2) Operator Boosting

• September 11, 00:00 ~ September 17, 2024, 23:59 (UTC+9)
  
• September 11, 10:00 ~ September 17, 2024, 09:59 (UTC-5)
  

When the [Operator Boosting] buff is active, the operator's chance of successfully leveling the Side Skill will increase.

Success Chance Increase
SSR: No change
SR: 10% Increase
R: 50% Increase
N: 100% Increase

The table below depicts when you are leveling the SSR Operator.



The success chance follows the multiplication rule of probability.

For example, when the buff is active, the success rate when using the R operator to the SSR operator does not equal 65%, but 22.5%.

Reason: 0.15 * 1.50 * 100 = 22.5

Note

1. 
   CEOs can only receive the On-Time event gift once a day.
   
2. 
   The On-Time event gift will be deleted when the valid period expires, please receive it within the period.
   
3. 
   Expired On-Time event gift cannot be restored by any means.
