This month we saw the kickoff of the 1up Platinum Cup event! So far players have been tested on their intuition on Parum's Invisible Road, and challenged their friendship in the United Front on Moatoob. Those GUARDIANS skillful enough to master these challenges have been greeted with special bonus rounds in which they have earned the chance to fight enemies in a timed battle with increased drop rates. With even more deadly challenges ahead, the 1up Platinum Cup looks to be as challenging as it is rewarding. For more information regarding the 1up Platinum Cup, event rewards, and mission release information, visit the official event page here: 1up Platinum Cup.
