GUARDIANS Boost Road is a special recurring event which has players run a specified series of missions to earn points which go toward an individual ranking. This ranking is used to determine a bonus which is applied to the missions in the event. The key to increasing your rank lies in completing all of the specified missions in an even fashion, as your rank is based on the mission which you have completed the least. The bonus applied to each GBR mission is a cumulative total of each party member's current GBR status. With a maximum individual bonus of 50%, a full party of six potentially could benefit from a 300% bonus. You can check your current GBR status by speaking to the TTB receptionist on Clyez City's fourth floor.

Point system

Points are awarded to individuals based on the missions they complete. Each difficulty has a specific number of points which will be awarded as long as the mission is completed with a grade of B or better. If the mission ends with a C, no points will be awarded.

Mission difficulty Points
C 1
B 2
A 3
S 4
S2 5
S3 6

As points are earned, a player's GBR class will go up. Each class has certain rewards linked to it which will change with each GBR. The following table lists each class as well as how many points are needed to progress and what rewards are tied to each point level.

Class name Req. points Bonus
Rookie 0-10 0-19% boost
Standard 12-26 20-29% boost
Ace 30-47 30-39% boost
Elite 50-65 40-44% boost
Hero 72-150 45-49% boost
Master 155+ 50% boost
