What Daily Events Are
Daily Events are scheduled competitive events with their own entry rules, scoring, map restrictions and rewards. This category covers Arena plus the registered events entered through the Lightning Building from Galaxy 4: Battlemap, Big Daddy and World Cup.
Seasonal galaxy events are covered separately in Seasonal Events, while temporary weekend bonuses are covered in Weekend Events. Use this page as the hub when you want to understand which event to join, what it rewards, and what kind of build or rental loadout matters.
Event Overview
| Event | Minimum level | Entry | Main format | Main reward path | Core advice |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Arena | 60 | Events window | 1v1 duel | Arena league and league chests | Prepare a PvP setup with reliable Damage, Cooldowns and defensive Shields. |
| Battlemap | 16 | Lightning Building from Galaxy 4 | Team deathmatch | Event ranking thresholds and PvP Points | Pick a rental loadout that can keep fighting after respawn and use map bonuses. |
| Big Daddy | 16 | Lightning Building from Galaxy 4 | Control a large target ship | Event ranking thresholds | Groups and Guilds help protect the Big Daddy owner and pressure the current target. |
| World Cup | 16 | Lightning Building from Galaxy 4 | Team ball objective | Event ranking thresholds | Balance fighting, movement and ball control instead of only chasing kills. |
Registration and Rental Loadouts
Battlemap, Big Daddy and World Cup use event registration. You choose a rented ship and a fixed event loadout before entering, which means your normal garage setup is not the only thing that matters. Some rental choices are free, while others cost Void Shards or their Stars alternative.
The rental system is useful for newer pilots because it lets them participate with event-ready stats. Experienced players still gain an edge by understanding which Weapons, Shields and support tools fit the event objective.
| Rental choice | Current rule | Beginner meaning | Advanced meaning |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ships | 4 free choices and 4 paid choices | You can join even without owning a perfect ship. | Choose the class that matches the event goal, not only raw damage. |
| Weapon types | 23 free options and 10 paid options | Free options are enough to learn the event. | Paid options let you tailor burst, control, support or pressure. |
| Equipment types | 21 free options and 8 paid options | Pick simple survival tools first. | Use Shields, mobility and support choices to fit the team plan. |
| Stars alternative | Half the Void Shard price, rounded up | A fallback when you lack Void Shards. | Usually best saved for events you strongly intend to play. |
Rewards and Ranking
Daily Event rankings are based on event points. Ranking thresholds can reward Void Shards and other resources depending on the active event. Arena is different because its main progression is tied to league movement and Arena chests.
| Rank threshold | Registered event reward |
|---|---|
| Rank 1 | 4,000 Void Shards |
| Rank 2 | 3,000 Void Shards |
| Rank 3 | 2,000 Void Shards |
| Top 10 | 1,000 Void Shards |
| Top 20 | 500 Void Shards |
| Top 30 | 250 Void Shards |
How to Choose an Event
Choose Arena when you want a pure PvP test. Choose Battlemap when you want team fighting and repeated combat. Choose Big Daddy when your group can coordinate protection and focus fire. Choose World Cup when movement, timing and objective control are more important than only kills.
Registering and Selecting a Rental Loadout
A scheduled Daily Event can be joined through its registration flow before or during the configured opening period. The player chooses an allowed rental ship version and the available weapon and equipment families for that event. The event resolves each selected family to the best permitted item level for the rental instead of using the player's normal owned item instances.
The displayed rental price is paid in Void Shards or its available Star alternative. Registration can be cancelled while the event permits it. Entering still validates the event's level, schedule and map rules, and event points are managed by that event's own start and end lifecycle.
FAQ
Are Seasonal Events part of Daily Events?
No. Christmas, Easter, Halloween, Summer, Back-to-school, Valentine’s and Music Day are handled in Seasonal Events because they take place directly in galaxies and use different rules.
Should I spend Void Shards on every rental?
No. Free rentals are enough for learning. Spend Void Shards when a paid choice clearly supports your event role or when you are aiming for a stronger ranking result.
