WR1-00: Overview

Dragon Fogel War Room ,

Welcome to the War Room!

To many first-time players, when the War Room first unlocks, it’s not clear exactly what it is. But there isn’t really a whole lot to it; it’s just a series of extra maps that you can play on for score and to earn coins for Battle Maps. There’s no plot to it and completing War Room maps won’t unlock anything. Completing all 20 maps, regardless of rank, will turn the Records entry under the Stats menu gold; S-Ranking all 20 maps will turn the War Room entry on the menu gold. Those are the only rewards you’ll get, aside from the coins and whatever sense of accomplishment it gives you.

If you’re up for the challenge, then read on.
