A '''high score event'''<ref>Capitalized as "high score event" in-game. ''"A '''high score event''' is an event in which you can get rewards for your collective score from five battles."''</ref> is a type of limited-time event in {{g|Masters EX}} in which players are challenged to take on five battles and aim to earn the highest score possible. Similar to the [[Champion Stadium]], battles can be taken on in any order, a sync pair which has been used in one battle cannot be used in another battle, and players can reset battles to try to earn a higher score. Unlike the Champion Stadium, any number of battles can be reset at a time, allowing players to reset just one battle at a time to optimize their team for that battle.

Each event has a featured [[type]] that players must use in order to earn points. Players can earn rare rewards when their total score from all battles reaches certain thresholds for the first time.  


In addition, each battle may have an individual rule that restricts the strategies players can use for that battle. This can be an advantage given to the opposing team, such as being immune to status and interference conditions, or a disadvantage given to the player's team, such as being unable to heal. However, some battles do not have any individual rule.

The player's base score is determined by a few factors:

Challenge rules are certain conditions that, if met during the battle, will award the player with 1,000 bonus points. Challenge rules can involve something about the team's composition, such as using a sync pair with a certain [[theme skill]], or something that happens during the battle, such as inflicting a status condition on an opponent. Depending on the individual rule for each battle, challenge rules may be unachievable in some battles.

Before the player starts a battle with an opponent, they are given the opportunity to increase the opponent's strength. Increasing an opponent's strength will increase their stats and therefore make them more difficult to defeat, but it will also add a number of points to the player's base score. Each level of strength increase will increase the player's base score by 30 or 40 points, depending on how high the strength increase currently is. In addition, the battle will be given a difficulty level based on how many strength increases the player is applying, which is contextualized as a comparison to the stats of opponents in Champion Stadium Hard Lv. 1.

If the player tries to start a battle at Master difficulty, a confirmation window will pop up, asking if they're sure they want to battle such a strong opponent.


In addition, each high score event has a featured type. All opponents are [[type specialist|specialists in that type]], and using sync pairs of the featured type multiplies the player's score for that battle by the number of sync pairs of the featured type that are used. So, using 3 sync pairs of the featured type provides a ×3 multiplier to the player's base score for that battle, and not using any sync pairs of the featured type provides a ×0 multiplier to the player's base score for that battle - meaning the player cannot earn any points for that battle.

Once the player has completed all battles, they unlock the ranking feature. This compares their best score from all battles to the best score from all players across the world, placing them at a certain ranking depending on their score. The top 10,000 players are considered Master Rank, and all players who are in Master Rank at the end of the event period will earn a {{mas|medal}}.
