Voyage of Discovery Guide

This is a Voyage of Discovery guide for Sword of Convallaria (SoC). Read on to learn how to progress the event, as well as recommended adventure styles, blessings, and rewards!

How to Progress

Voyage of Discovery Progression Strategy

Explore at Any Difficulty

"Start to Explore" is where you battle through 7 random stages at a difficulty of your choice. You can get more "Adventure Coins" at higher difficulties, so for Stamina efficiency, we recommend challenging the highest difficulty stage you can clear.

Guideline for Each Difficulty

Be Aware of Stage Mutations

In each battle, there are various "Stage Mutations" effects for each stage. It can become difficult to complete the stage if you don't pay attention to these effects, so be sure to check them beforehand and form an appropriate team.

Utilize Blessings

Utilize the buffs presented after clearing each stage to progress. Also, the types of buffs offered will change depending on the "Adventure Style" you choose after selecting the difficulty. It's recommended to acquire buffs that match your strengthened characters and preferred tactics.

Finish the Run for Adventure Coins

By clearing the final boss stage, you can obtain "Adventure Coins" corresponding to the difficulty. You can get various rewards in exchange for Adventure Coin, so collect a lot by clearing higher difficulty explorations or obtaining Extra Rewards.

Exchange Astral Shards for Legendary Gear

By progressing through the event missions, you can also obtain "Astral Shards," which can be exchanged for any Legendary Gear or random Signature Weapons/Gear.

Adventure Styles and Recommended Buffs

Pactbound	A summoning-focused adventuring style that lets you call powerful allies to fight by your side. Work in unison with your summons to crush any enemy daring enough to stand in your way.
Fire Coverage	An adventure style built for AoE attacks, balancing endurance and survivability. Overwhelm the enemy with your attacks and push forward without pause!
Breath of Erosion	An adventure style that excels in DoT. No matter how your enemies struggle, they will wither away under your relentless assault!

Adventure Styles are similar to archetypes in other games. Your selected adventure style will dictate the blessings that can appear during your run, as well as your preferential characters. Among the available adventure styles, there's Pactbound, Fire Coverage, and Breath of Erosion.

Recommended Blessings

[Active on your side] Gains an additional team skill: Summon [Apostle - Strength of Immortal]: A powerful defensive unit specializing in Assisting Cover and Strike Back. Converts shield value into huge DMG. Can be used up to 1 time per battle.
[Active on your side] All [summoned charactrers] add 20% of max HP to ATK, not exceeding 200%.	[Active on your side] All [summoned characters] recover 30% HP after dealing DMG, and inflict piercing DMG equal to the recovered amount.	[Active on your side] When dealing Crit DMG, there is a 50% chance for the character to gain [Dodge] for 1 turn and recovers 30% HP and 1 NRG.
[Active on your side] All [summoned characters] have their HP increased by 100% and gain [Physical Reflection] or [Magical Reflection]. Effect: Reflects 75% of the DMG received back to the attacker.	[Active on your side] All [summoned characters] gain [Preempt] and [Strike Back] against ennemies within 2 tiles of themselves, dealing [Piercing DMG] equal to 80% of their P.ATK plus M.ATK values.	[Active on your side] When defeated, recovers 20% HP Immediately. C: 3 turns. When [Resolve] is triggered, increases ATK and DEF by 15%, up to 45%.

Of the Adventure Styles, Pactbound is the easiest to play since the player can largely rely on the Apostle of Strength to both tank and eliminate most of the enemies. The harder part is getting the correct blessings, but assuming that you do, you can focus on keeping your party alive while you use the Apostle to clear out the stage.

Recommended Characters for Pactbound

The blessings we aimed for include bonuses to Strike Back, HP, and summoned characters. Therefore, we want to build our party around characters that can summon, Strike Back, or provide Shields. Consider Falin, Alexei, Pamina, and Flavia. Don't neglect to include other supports and secondary damage dealers as needed!

How to Farm Adventure Coins

Clear the Hardest Difficulty

By clearing the hardest difficulty that you can, you will receive more Adventure Coin. However, as the difficulty increases, the enemies' levels become higher and they become stronger, so if you don't want to put in the effort, or are not yet at max voyager level, it's viable to repeatedly clear low-difficulty stages.

How To Gain Voyager EXP Fast

Adventure Coins Obtained per Stamina

Difficulty 5 allows you to obtain a particularly large number of coins, so if your characters are strong enough, we recommend challenging Difficulty 5 at least twice a week.

Obtain Extra Rewards

Regardless of the difficulty, by consuming an Extra Rewards, you can obtain 12,000 coins and "Secret Fates". Extra Rewards recovers twice every Sunday at 24:00 and can be accumulated.

Clear Event Quests

You can acquire Adventure Coins by completing Event Quests. There are three types of missions: "Clear VoD at a specified difficulty or higher," "Clear VoD using a specific Adventure Style," and "Collect a specified number of Adventure Coins." Challenge the stages to complete these Event Quests within the event period.

Adventure Depot Priority Rewards

Gift Exchange Priority

Talent Materials are used in large quantities for enhancement, so exchange for them as much as possible. After exchanging for high-priority items, we recommend redeeming Radiant Powder, Common Exp, Elysium Coins, and Tarot Essence as needed, since these have no exchange limit.

Pro Tip!	The above recommendations assume that the player is at max Voyager lv. Beginners should take the Trinkets, Weapons, Elysium Coins, and Radiant Powder as needed.
