Note: The boss fights in this event are set up so that defeating them takes multiple fights. However, materials for fights are very easy to obtain. Since there are many fighting characters unlockable for free, and the premium character costumes with the exception of Regent Clea are easier to get than usual, the cage is made to be achievable by free players who invest a lot of time in the game over the week. However, free character levelling and getting the bobbleheads will be next to impossible without sharding.
