Vortex Gate
Rotating gates that pay the evolution materials an Omni squad is built from.
Grand Gaia awaits a summoner
Answer the summons
Six elements, a squad of six, and every unit reachable through play. Summon odds are published before the gate opens.
In developmentOpening date not announcedClosed beta in progress
What is happening now
The world is in closed beta. Every build, and every line that moves on the server sheet, is announced here first.
The summoning is not the product
Gems are earned by playing, not bought, and the odds behind every gate are published before it opens. A gacha is only fair when you can read it.
A squad you built, not one you bought
Every unit in the game is reachable through play, Omni evolution included. Spending shortens nothing that matters, because there is nothing to shorten.
Announced before it changes
The ruleset is public and dated. Rates, odds and drop tables move on a notice, never quietly between maintenance windows.
The world at a glance
decided- Content
- Global era, through Omni evolution
One continuous progression, not a separate legacy world
- Highest rarity
- 8★ Omni
- Squad size
- Six units, five yours and one guest
- Elements
- Six, on the classic advantage wheel
Fire, Water, Earth, Thunder, Light and Dark
These are settled. The rest of the sheet, rates included, is published in full before the world opens rather than after.
The full sheetThe wheel
Six elements, and one of them is always the answer
Four turn in a cycle and two answer only to each other. Reading a boss before you build a squad is most of the game, so the wheel is never hidden behind a damage number.
Fire
Vargasstrong againstEarth
Burst damage and attack buffs. Opens fights it intends to end early.
Water
Selenastrong againstFire
Mitigation and healing. The element a long fight is survived on.
Earth
Lancestrong againstThunder
Defence and stability. Holds a line while the rest of the squad works.
Thunder
Ezestrong againstWater
Speed and crystal generation. Keeps everyone else's bursts filled.
Light
Atrostrong againstDark
Cleansing and revival. Undoes what a boss did on its last turn.
Dark
Magressstrong againstLight
Drain and debuffs. Trades safety for numbers no other element reaches.
Five of yours, and one borrowed
A squad is six units. Five are yours, the sixth is another summoner's, and the leader you put in front sets a skill that applies to all of them. Spheres and extra skills do the rest.
- Brave Burst
- Fills from the crystals dropped by your own hits. The turn-to-turn tool.
- Super Brave Burst
- Costs a full gauge and rewrites a turn: heavier damage, or the buff that saves one.
- Ultimate Brave Burst
- Once per fight, and only with an overdriven gauge. Kept for the turn that decides it.
The week
What there is to do once the squad is standing
Progression is not one ladder. Gates pay for evolution, trials test a finished squad, and the scored content resets so a good week is worth having again.
Trials
Set-piece fights against the hardest bosses in the world. One squad, no retries mid-fight.
Frontier Hunter
A scored season. Clear on fewer turns with a stranger squad and place higher.
Arena and Colosseum
Automated player-versus-player. Your squad fights on its own leader skill and order.
Raid
Timed hunts run with other summoners, for materials nothing else drops.
Guild Raid
Guild-scale bosses on a weekly clock, scored on the guild's total contribution.
One account
Your Groot ID is the account
There is no separate registration here and no second password. The passport you use on the portal signs you in to this world, and to every other world we publish.
- Your password is only ever typed on groot.games, never on this site.
- Pre-registration is recorded against your passport, not a mailing list, and you can withdraw it whenever you like.
- Already play Sky Fang or RO Classic? That passport already works here.
Pre-register
Be told when the gates open
Sign in with your Groot ID and you are on the list. You will be sent to groot.games and straight back here.
I need a Groot IDQuestions worth asking first
Do I need a separate account for this world?
No. Brave Frontier uses your Groot ID, the same passport that covers every game we publish. Create one once and it carries across titles.
Is my Groot ID my character in the closed beta?
It can be. Left alone, the game signs itself in as a guest and the account belongs to the device it was made on. Use the sign-in button on the title screen, type the short code it shows you here, and the account becomes your passport's instead, which is what lets it follow you to another handset.
How do I get into the closed beta?
Sign in with a Groot ID and download the client from this site. Any passport works and there is no waiting list, because what is being tested is the server rather than how many people want on it. The client is an Android build you install yourself rather than something from a store.
What does pre-registering actually do?
It records your Groot ID against Brave Frontier, which is how we tell you when the world opens properly. It is not the gate for the closed beta: the download needs only a passport. Nothing is charged and you can withdraw it from this site or from your passport dashboard at any time.
Which era of the game is this?
The global-era game, progressing through Omni evolution, run as one continuous world rather than a frozen snapshot. Later arcs unlock on a published cadence instead of all at once.
Is summoning going to be pay-to-win?
Gems are earned in play and are not for sale, and summon odds are published before a gate opens. The store carries cosmetics and convenience, and nothing in it decides a battle.
When does it open?
The opening date is not announced yet. The closed beta is running now and the full ruleset is published before the world opens rather than after.
How much of the game works in the closed beta?
Most of it, now. Quests, summoning, deck editing and unit growth all work, and every one of the client's commands answers. Combat itself runs inside the client, as it always did, so the server handles the economy around a fight rather than the fight. Buying anything and watching adverts refuse outright, and some rules — summon rates, arena matchmaking, all of Guild Raid — are reconstructed rather than recovered. The news carries a notice that says which, and it is worth reading before you install anything.
The beta is running, the world is not open yet
A Groot ID is the whole of what the closed beta asks for. Sign in, take the Android build, and tell us what breaks.
