This page contains information about a past event that may or may not return in a future version.

Snowtrace is a part of the Soulblazers' Snowbound Journey event.

It is unlocked by completing the Event World Quest Playing in the Snow Counts as Training Too! in Soulblazers' Snowbound Journey and accessed from the icon by talking to Yaoyao.

Tutorial

During the "Snowtrace" event, players will be split into two sides to play the "Rebels" and the "Hunter."
The Rebels must avoid the Hunter's pursuit and hold out till the time expires.
The Hunter's task, on the other hand, is to capture all the Rebels within the stipulated time.

---

The Hunter not only possesses faster Movement SPD and greatly decreased Stamina consumption, but can also use extremely powerful Hunter Techniques to seek out the opposition and expose their disguises.
As for the Rebels, they can use their Rebel Techniques to disguise themselves as specific objects on the map, place bait, or temporarily enter a hidden state.

---

Rebels will be impeded by Cold. As the amount of Cold accumulates towards the maximum value, Rebels will first begin to shiver and then eventually freeze. While frozen, the Hunter will continuously be able to sense their location. Frozen rebels can quickly and repeatedly press to break out of their frozen state and remove a certain amount of Cold.

---

There are heat sources on the field that Rebels can activate. Activated heat sources will continuously remove Cold from Rebels for a period of time, but they will also generate a mini-map marker that is visible to everyone when they are activated.

---

After a certain amount of time, snowstorms will appear on the field. While these storms are active, Rebels will accumulate Cold at a much faster rate. At the same time, the visibility of both sides will be reduced, and their coordinates on the mini-map will be hidden.

---

During the game, "Snowwhite Favors" will descend upon the area at random.
Picking up one such "Favor" will help charge your "Snowwhite Art," an art that can be decisive in determining victory or defeat.

---

After being captured by a Hunter, Rebels will enter Observer Mode. While in this state, they can continue to place Illusory Beacons to help other Rebels play.

---

In this wave of "Snowtrace," you can play alone or match with other friends to obtain Windtrace Coins. If you play a matched game with up to 2 other friends, you will all be placed on the Rebel team.
Once you have obtained a certain amount of these coins, you can unlock various rewards.
If you have a match using a pre-made group of four players or have reached the current coin limit, playing will not net you any more Windtrace Coins.

Dialogue

For each game of Snowtrace, either Klee, Sayu, or Yaoyao will join as a Rebel, depending on the map. During the game, they will have special sidebar and spoken dialogue.
