The map is oversized and inefficient, even though Rombots only cost 22 CP. Spoiler: Layout of Room 1/2 Room 3 and 4 Mid-sized maps ideal for 2v2. Room 4 is preferred because it has more mobs than Room 3. Spoiler: Layout of Room 3/4 Room 5 and 6 Large multi-platform maps with Robos on the upper platforms and Rombots clustered on the ground level. Spoiler: Layout of Room 5/6 How CPQ Works (Summary + Details) Each round lasts 10 minutes. Kill mobs to gain CP (Carnival Points). Spend CP to summon mobs for the opponents. Both sides kill as fast as possible for EXP. The party with the higher CP at the end wins. How to actually run a CPQ match: Form a party for 2v2 or 3v3. Enter the respective room (3/4 or 5/6). Start killing mobs immediately to gain CP. Summon mobs for the opponent as soon as you can. Use Speed Up (F7) when needed to boost efficiency. Tip: Press Tab to switch between Mobs, Skills, and Protectors quickly. Rewards (EXP) Winning or losing gives you a certain amount of EXP, based on your rank. Ranks are determined by how much CP you have at the end of the round. Rank Winning Team Losing Team A (500+ CP) 30,000 EXP 10,000 EXP B (250 - 499 CP) 25,500 EXP 8,500 EXP C (50 - 249 CP) 21,500 EXP 7,000 EXP D (0 - 49 CP) 7,500 EXP 1,000 EXP Exchangeable Spiegelmann's Necklace, with 50 x Maple Coin Can be godly rolled Spiegelmann's Marble, with 40 x Maple Coin Can only be used on Spiegelmann's Necklace.

A1: Buy an Everstone from the Cash Shop for 5,000 NX. It lasts 30 days and prevents all EXP gain. Q2: How much CP do I need to max Rombots + Speed Up? A2: The spawn cap for CPQ mobs is 7, so you will need a total of 222 CP. - 7 Rombots x 30 CP = 210 CP - Speed Up would be 12 CP Q3: What is the best job in CPQ for getting high CP and clearing mobs in Rooms 3/4? A3: Brawler has the highest potential. They have superior mobility and can reposition Rombots with Corkscrew Blow , making them far less dependent on the RNG of Rombot spawn points. The top score I have seen for a Brawler is about 3.4k CP (under perfect spawn conditions where all 7 Rombots spawn together). However, Brawlers require heavy funding (at least billions) to perform at that level. For players who want strong results without massive cost, Fighter is the best budget-friendly choice. Fighters typically reach 3k to 3.2k CP (also under perfect spawn conditions with all 7 Rombots spawned together), buffed by their Rage buff (WA+12). Q4: As a Fighter, is 1H + shield better than 2H? A4: The answer is both yes and no. Yes, in terms of raw attack range. A 1H + WA shield setup can reach a higher WA range than a 2H when both are compared fairly. No, because the downsides outweigh the benefits. A proper 1H + WA shield setup is far more expensive, and on top of that, a 2H sword has a longer reach, letting you hit mobs from farther away. A good 2H (Japanese map) is cheaper, easier to get, and more practical for CPQ. Note: You can still consider using a 1H sword (Diao Chan Sword) if you already have a WA shield. vs Spoiler: 1H vs 2H Attack Range - WA 95 Japanese Map (1213~2141) - WA 95 Diao Chan + WA 20 Shield (1261~2217) Q5: what gears are you using on your CPQ fighter?
