Event missions
Mission overview
During the first week of the Winter Event, just The Protectors α was available, only to be replaced by The Protectors β in the second week. The third week reintroduced the initial mission to run alongside the second for the remainder of the event. These two missions were VR simulations created by Holupe Dence as a training program for future GUARDIANS recruits. Blocks of each mission were based around areas from past events like Operation Firebreak and the 1Up Platinum Cup; others were borrowed from various free, party and story missions.
The objective of each Winter Event mission was to collect chips which were scattered throughout the levels. Both missions had a choice of two routes to take, and each route had 10 chips to collect. Your final grade at the end of each mission was directly affected by the number of chips you collected. Furthermore, displayed on the right side of the screen was a meter represented by empty and solid stars. These served as indicators of your current EXP boost. Each mission began with a 200% EXP boost and continued to climb while progressing through the mission, usually maxing out at 300% by the time the second boss was reached. The maximum boost of 350% was obtainable only by receiving a rare map.
| Stars | EXP boost |
|---|---|
| ★★☆☆☆ | 200% EXP |
| ★★★☆☆ | 250% EXP |
| ★★★★☆ | 300% EXP |
| ★★★★★ | 350% EXP |

Reference notes
