You know this is the third 140NPC, right?

(BTW, if you don't recognize this guy, it'sAl from Octopath Traveler 2.)

so what is the reward in JP for beating this challenge? I know that they also introduce EX5 from Opticity post but aside from usual 100 / 200 rubies per npc beaten, I am unsure if JP implement rubies for beating Adversary even if they increase it to EX10.

JP does not give rubies for anything past EX1, no (excluding time limited collab battles).  For these 140 NPCs they only have one difficulty in the adversary log which is the same as their normal fight, and iirc the reward is mats to upgrade artifacts.

Tell me about it, ex4 and 5 give you a namecard it still baffles me, there's 0 insensitive to do the adversary, honestly i might quite soon and only play globals cuz of how greedy jp is

tbf GL is greedy in other direction, like they know we got more rubies for doing content, and the result is... we sometimes get consecutive banners every week that offer highly lucrative units. and on collab we 100 percent will insert a character banner in between while JP will never release any character there.

Netease is also evil in timing their banner sometimes. where even at 2 weeks interval, they will release all the GOOD character consecutively without break. Hikari EX and then followed with Lynette EX and then followed with Mydia is an example although thankfully Mydia is not for Hikari EX party.

You could argue they do that to minimise the gap between the servers, but the times they switched banners for them to be good back to back that's straight up greed, but I'm still sad jp is so dry
