As the name suggests, the Promo Card Exchange Ticket (Special Drop Event 2025) can be used in the in-game shop to acquire any one Promo Card from this Drop Event, which should ensure most players are able to acquire at least one copy of every single card. Please note that these missions do not require the player to actually participate in event Solo Battles, and can be completed by challenging Step-up Battles, or indeed any other battle.

To challenge event battles, players will need to use event stamina. All players will start with 5 event stamina when they first log-in to begin the event. Event stamina can be recovered over time, regenerating at a rate of 1 stamina every 12 hours, or by using event hourglass items. These event hourglasses can be acquired by completing battle tasks for each of the event battles. Event hourglasses earned in previous drop events can continue to be used in this event.
