11Overview22Surf Breaker is a watercraft racing activity added in Version 1.3 "Rising from the Moonlit Fog" on August 19, 2026. Its initial event featured single-player timed courses across the waterways around Hethereau, and its original event window closed on September 30, 2026 at 05:59 (UTC+8).44The mode is built around the Tide, the game's first water vehicle, which arrived in the same update. Version 1.3 framed the activity with the line "Race the sea breeze under the blazing summer sun!" In practice it is a checkpoint race against a timer rather than a head-to-head contest.66How It Works88Open the event screen to see which courses are currently active. Not all of them are available on day one.Travel to the entry location for the course you want. Each one starts somewhere different.Talk to the Course Manager waiting there to pick a difficulty and preview that tier's rewards, then start the challenge.Race through every checkpoint before the timer expires. Checkpoints are square zones, not single points, so entering the visible area around the marker counts.Rewards drop the moment you clear a stage. There is no separate claim screen to visit afterward.On the results screen, Next Difficulty jumps straight into the following tier. Tiers are cleared in order, so a harder one cannot be reached before the ones below it.1010Courses1212Five courses make up the full set. Three of them unlocked on a staggered schedule over the first days of the version rather than opening together.1414CourseAvailability"Horn Bay Route"Open from the start of the event"Cape Dome Circuit"Open from the start of the event"Stellar Marina Route"Unlocked August 19, 2026 at 22:30 (UTC+8)"M10 Circuit"Unlocked August 20, 2026 at 22:30 (UTC+8)"Sunward Island Circuit" on Sunward IslandUnlocked August 21, 2026 at 22:30 (UTC+8)1616Scoring and Collectibles1717Clearing inside the time limit is only half of it. Two collectibles are scattered along every route and feed the score that sets your clear rating.1919CollectiblePointsWhere It SitsPig20One under the middle of each gateDuck5Lining the path between gates2121Because a pig is worth four ducks and sits directly on the racing line, hitting every pig is usually enough on its own to meet a stage's score target. Ducks are the overflow option when there is time to spare.2222Friendly Race2424The event screen carries a Friendly Race option in its bottom right corner, which sets up a race with friends rather than a solo timed run.2626Tips2828Aim for the pigs under the gates first. They are on the line you are already taking, so they cost almost no time.Raise Draw Distance in the display settings. Spotting pigs and ducks earlier gives you more room to plan the approach into each gate.Do not chase the pin in the center of a checkpoint. Cutting through the edge of the square counts and keeps your speed up, while steering to the exact marker bleeds it.If you only want the currency rewards rather than a high rating, skip the collectibles entirely and hold a clean line through the checkpoints.3030Rewards3232Clearing stages pays out on the spot. The confirmed reward set is below, and no dedicated event currency or exchange shop has surfaced for this activity, so payouts appear to be per-challenge rather than banked and spent later.3434RewardTypeAnnulithGacha currencyFonsCity currencyFloe Cinema TicketsEvent currencyElite Hunter GuidesProgression materialChaotic DyeCosmetic dye3636Not Yet Documented3737The reward amounts attached to each course and difficulty tier.The score thresholds that separate one clear rating from the next.How many difficulty tiers each course carries, and how many separate challenges sit inside each tier.Whether owning the Tide is a hard requirement to enter, or whether the activity supplies a watercraft.3939Related Pages4141Volley StarShipwreck SalvageHethereau HobbiesVehiclesSunward IslandSide Activities and Mini-Games
