EX Challenges are a way to take on content with special restrictions unique to each challenge.

These challenges always come with their own set of rewards for every clear, but also have rewards for first time clears.

First time clears on the highest difficulty level of 150 will always grant a unique Shadow Armor Artifact.

Below you can find the currently available EX Challenges, their settings, rewards, and list of all available Shadow Armor Artifacts.

List of First Time Clear Rewards

Below you'll find the First Time Clear Rewards for each EX Challenge.

These are only acquired the very first time you clear on the designated difficulty.

Clearing a higher difficulty will behave as if you also cleared the lower difficulties.

EX Challenge	DIF 30	DIF 60	DIF 90	DIF 120	DIF 150
Endless Tower	x 1, x 1, x 20	x 1, x 10	Costume Stellar Gratia (Garment)	x 10, x 5	Vampiric Shadow Armor Artifact

Permanent Clear Rewards

Each EX Challenge also has permanent clear rewards that you gain even after the first clear.

There is also a drop chance increase that is multiplicative, not additive for the enemies cleared.

Note that the drop chance increase is not additive and will only consider the highest value.

This drop chance increase applies only to drops from MVPs, but does not apply to MVP cards.

For all other rewards, you will gain all rewards for the highest tier you clear and below.

EX Challenge	DIF 30	DIF 60	DIF 90	DIF 120	DIF 150
Endless Tower	x 1, x 10, x 10, +3% Drop Rate	x 1, x 10, +5% Drop Rate	x3, x 5, x 25, +7% Drop Rate	x 1, x 3, x 10, +10% Drop Rate	x 5, 20% Drop Rate

List of Shadow Armor Artifacts

Clearing an EX Challenge for the first time on the highest difficulty will grant you an Artifact.

These Shadow Armor Artifacts are one of a kind and master account bound.

Every Artifact occupies the same Shadow Armor gear slot so choose which to use wisely!
