👉 How to Participate

1. Invitations will be sent directly above the heads of eligible characters at the 15-minute and 45-minute mark of every hour.
2. Click the invitation above your character's head and accept to automatically move to the waiting map after a brief moment.

🎮 How to Play

Lead your team to victory by scoring more points than the opposing team within the 3-minute time limit!

[Game Details]

• 10 to 40 Maplers can participate per match, with team structures ranging from 5v5 to 20v20 depending on the number of participants.
• Each match lasts for 3 minutes, and the team that scores the most points within the time limit wins.
• Use the W/A/S/D keys to move, the Spacebar to Dash, and Left-click the mouse to attack other players.
• Landing an attack reduces the target player's HP. Reducing an opponent’s HP to 0 awards 1 point to both your team score and individual score.
• Defeated Maplers will respawn after a short delay at one of their team's Respawn Areas located throughout the map.
• Hiding in the bushes on the map makes your character invisible to the opposing team. However, you will still take damage if hit by an attack.
• If there is no input for 10 seconds or more, a warning message will appear at the top of the screen. Accumulating two warnings will result in being automatically removed from the match.

[Special Items]

• Attack and knock down the palm trees that appear on the map during the match. Collecting a Yellow Bubble will award 1 point to both your team score and individual score.
• Collecting a Purple Bubble increases the number of water bubbles fired per click from 1 to 4 for 20 seconds.
• Collecting an HP Bubble restores a portion of your HP.

🎁 Rewards

Join the refreshing Water Bubble Battle and claim commemorative rewards based on your match results!

[Character-Bound Rewards]

• Each time you complete the minigame, you will receive a set amount of Gold Richie Coins and EXP based on the match results.

※ Maplers can earn up to 400 Gold Richie Coins daily through this event. This daily acquisition limit of Gold Richie Coins can be increased by up to an additional 100 coins depending on your current VIP Tier. Gold Richie Coins earned from other events (Tropical Adventure, Raising the Golden Octopus) will also count toward this daily limit.

※ The amount of EXP granted varies by level range and is based on your play time. Please note that no further rewards can be claimed once your total play time for the day reaches 120 minutes or more.
