Champion Mode button
Champion Mode is a 4th dungeon difficulty for every dungeon, with the exception of Trial Forest and Trial Tower. In this mode, the level is higher than the 3 star difficulty, is a straight route to the boss, which means there are no side paths, and all monsters have a buff, like Increase Attack, Freezing, Shockwave, and others.
Champion Mode Ticket
In order for players to even access the Champion Mode map (which is just the same map, but pressing the Champion button changes the music and gives a red tinge to the edge of the world map), they must have at least one Champion Mode Ticket, which is obtained either through daily attendance, or through the shop, under Academy, for 200,000 GP or 1000 Cash for 5 tickets. If one does not have a Champion mode ticket after completion of a run in Champion Mode, they will automatically be kicked out of the room and out of Champion Mode. A ticket will be used up whether or not the dungeon is completed, and if a player leaves the room.
Champion mode is played in order to obtain the crest of each dungeon from Outer Wall of Serdin and beyond. Each crest requires a certain number of runs, with the next dungeon requiring one more than the previous to obtain. Upon completion of each dungeon, a player can receive a Jewel Box (Bermesiah, Ellia, or Xenia), and sometimes a Treasure Chest (there is a glitch where playing as the Abyss Knight job [not the character] will not award either chests upon completion of a dungeon).
