Expeditions

Expeditions are a postgame challenge mode in Beastieball.

Description

Expeditions can be started from the Base Camp in Alto Alps by talking to Gene. They, like Alto Alps, are only available after completing the Crown Series.

In Expeditions, you and a team of Beasties proceed through 12 "flags", which are matches against randomly selected Beasties. Rather than starting with your preexisting Beasties, you recruit two Beasties from a set of four options each at the start of the challenge and another each time you select the whistle option between flags.

If any Beasties become WIPED, they remain Wiped permanently and will leave your team. You lose the challenge if all of your Beasties become Wiped or if you lose a match.

Additionally, Beastie Stamina is different, with your Beasties starting with 125 Stamina and able to increase it at certain points, and the first set of wild Beasties starting with 70 stamina with the numbers steadily increasing from there.

At each flag except for boss flags (see below), you will have a choice between two different teams, which will be shown. One is higher-level than the other and has more base stamina, and the higher-level team grants better rewards. After each flag, your Beasties restore 10 Stamina and gain 1 level.

Every fourth flag is a boss, which is a stronger team than the other teams so far. After a boss flag, your Beasties restore 50 Stamina. The 12th and final flag is a stronger boss.

Between flags, there are a variety of options for ways to make your team stronger. Three options will be available to you at a time, and you can pick one. These include:

name	effect
Campfire	Restore stamina by a random amount and increase max stamina by 25
Whistle	Recruit a new Beastie of a stated level
Practice Game	Increase your whole team's level by 3 (TODO: check if varies)
Exercise	Increase one Beastie's level by 2-6 (TODO: verify range)
Hot Springs	Increase one Beastie's level by 5-6 (TODO: verify range) and change their trait if another trait is available
Find Treasure	obtain more Sports Points
Play	Fully restore a Beastie and teach one of 4-6 (TODO: verify range) new plays

Rewards

If you reach the summit and defeat the boss there, who is Rowdy and has 400 Stamina, you can give the Jersey Flag to one of the Beasties on your team. This Beastie will then "go on a journey of their own" and begin wandering around the map, where they can be found and recruited like a normal wild Beastie.

Additionally, you will receive Sports Points as a reward for your Expedition, receiving more Sports Points if you reached the summit.
