Hyakunin Ikki has a total of six challenges. Each one will be unlocked every day for the first six days of the event. During the event, players must defeat enemies that will continuously spawn to obtain points within the time limit.

In addition, each challenge will have three difficulties to choose from: Normal, Hard, and Extreme. Each mode has a different multiplier score. The higher the difficulty gamers choose, the greater the corresponding score multiplier.

Before starting any challenge, Travelers must create six teams, each with two characters and two Secret Arts. Six trial characters will be provided for players to use during the event. They can combine their own characters and the trial characters into the six teams.

Secret Arts is a buff skill that will bring different effects to the party's characters. There are two types of Secret Arts: Transmission Arts and Normal Secret Arts.

Transmission Arts will be updated with varying skill effects as new stage challenges become available. Meanwhile, Normal Secret Arts will remain the same at each stage.

Once the challenge starts, players can use the Relay skill to switch to the next team. The Relay has a skill cooldown of 20 seconds. Note that if a team stays on the field for more than 25 seconds, their combat ability will decrease significantly.

When Travelers switch teams and defeat opponents, they will accumulate Fervor (yellow bar at the top of the screen). When Fervor is accumulated to a specific extent, it will increase the level of their Ferocious Fervor, which will provide bonuses in battle.

Another important thing to note is that gamers cannot consume any food or other items. In addition, Elemental Resonances will also have no effect during the challenge.

During the Hyakunin Ikki event, players can retry the same stage as many times as they want to get the highest score. After reaching the corresponding required score, they can obtain all the rewards from the event page.
