To clear stages in the Sword x Staff Goal Rush event, line up your SP Heroes to trigger chain ricochets off walls and obstacles before spending your event shop currency on limited upgrade materials.
How to Master Goal Rush Launch Physics
Goal Rush replaces standard turn-based combat with a physics-based ricochet puzzle. Instead of executing hero skill rotations, you pull back and launch SP Heroes toward designated targets on the playfield.
To maximize your score per stage:
- Assess obstacle placement: Examine hard walls, goal posts, and bounce pads before pulling back to release your hero.
- Aim for chain reactions: Target high-impact angles where a single launch triggers multiple ricochets into secondary targets.
- Patience over rapid launches: Take time to align your trajectory path rather than firing immediately, preventing wasted event entries on miscalculated shots.
SP Hero Roster Adjustments
Your choice of SP Hero changes how your launch behaves on the field. Characters possess distinct physical attributes like movement speed and weight, altering how hard they bounce off surfaces.
- Swap heroes when stuck: If a stage features narrow gaps or heavy obstacles, switch to an SP Hero with a different trajectory profile.
- Match launch arcs to layouts: Track which heroes handle tight rebounds versus straight-line launches, forming a dedicated lineup to adapt to changing obstacle layouts.
Event Shop Priority
Event currency earned from stage completions should be reserved for rare, time-limited progression items rather than cosmetic options or basic consumables.
| Item Category | Priority | Reason |
|---|---|---|
| Upgrade Materials & Rare Shards | High | Difficult to obtain outside the event window; directly boosts account growth. |
| Event Currency Boosters | High | Accelerates your rate of currency acquisition for remaining shop items. |
| Low-Tier Consumables | Low | Easily obtainable through standard dungeons; spend currency here only after buying limited items. |
| Cosmetics | Lowest | Provides no mechanical progression; purchase only if all progression rewards are cleared. |
Check total shop costs on your first login of the event to set daily currency targets.
Daily Event Routine
Maximize your returns during the Goal Rush event window by following a structured daily schedule:
- Claim daily login bonuses: Collect any free event entries or bonus items provided upon logging in.
- Push the highest available stage: Spend your daily entries on the highest stage you can clear to maximize the currency-to-entry ratio.
- Analyze failed attempts: If you fail to clear a stage, review the trajectory path to adjust your launch angle rather than burning attempts on identical shots.
- Complete event dailies first: Clear all event requirements before resuming standard daily dungeon runs.

I wish I had read this before upgrading the wrong thing.
Can you add more details about heroes in a future update?
The tips are practical and easy to follow.
I tried this today and it worked better than my old setup.
