Duration: November 17th 2022 to December 22nd 2022.
General
Collect Add-ons (Buffs) and level up your constructs to complete Target Stages!
There are 5 districts that will be unlocked in time and according to your progress, each district has its own Infinite Abyss and Target Stages.
Add-ons can be gained from replaying Infinite Abyss.
"Data Track" is gained from clearing Target Stages and Infinite Abyss for the first time, and are used to draw supply rewards in Tactical Supply.
Accumulated "Data Track" gained through Infinite Abyss even completed partially will still be received, the rest of the "Data Track" can only be gained through exceeding the past highest record.
More functions (features) will be unlocked after clearing Target Stages.
Each Construct can be BP boosted by raising their Ultralimit Level by consuming Add-ons.
Ultralimit Levels adds BP to the original BP of player owned Constructs or Trial Constructs.
Red Add-ons can be used to unlock Special Enhancements for specific Constructs.
Add-ons can also be consumed by using them on Infinite Abyss or Target Stages.
Trial Constructs of ALL Construct released can be used instead of Constructs obtained by players, which have ~6000 BP on average.
Trial Constructs and Player owned Constructs share the same Ultralimit Level.
SP Characters (Constructs) have special stat boosts for the week, making use of this information can be useful when clearing Target Stages or Infinite Abyss.
Add-ons
It is strongly advised to use all Add-ons to strengthen Constructs by raising their Ultralimit Level and unlocking their Special Enhancements.
As all Add-ons are one time use consumables, using them to Ultralimit Level Constructs will have a more permanent effect as opposed to temporarily buffing Constructs in Target Stages or Infinite Abyss.
Purple Add-ons give 90 EXP and Orange and Red Add-ons both give 270 EXP towards Ultralimit Leveling Constructs.
Later District Infinite Abyss reward more Orange and Red Add-ons as compared to earlier Districts.
Target Stages
It is possible to clear Target Stages even without a high enough BP.
The time limit for each wave in Target Stages is 5 minutes.
Remember to use healers when clearing later Target Stages in later districts as there will be elements that passively drain Construct HP while on the field.
Target Stages DO NOT save progress, failing in any wave or quitting in the middle of an attempt will not retain previous progress in any way.
5 different teams will be needed to clear later District Target Stages, it is more effective to raise all Constructs to the same level than to just raise a single one when challenging Target Stages.
It is possible to pause while in a wave and restart the wave without repeating the entire Target Stage again.
Infinite Abyss
There are 5 Infinite Abyss Stages, each have 20 floors, where progress is saved every 5 floors.
Add-ons will be given for floors 5, 10, 15 and 20, and will be received after clearing all 20 floors.
Floors 5, 10, 15 and 20 have a Boss enemy that are harder to defeat.
1 Buff can be selected from 3 at the start of each Floor which will be effective until the end of the 20 floor challenge. Buffs selected in this way will not be given to the player.
The stronger Buff of the same effect chosen at the start of each Floor will replace its weaker counterpart.
The quality and quantity of the buffs gained increases as the floors progress.
As progress is saved every 5 stages, it is possible to stop or abandon a Infinite Abyss challenge midway.
It is possible to quit in the middle of Infinite Abyss by selecting "Adventure Summary" in between floors and selecting "Confirm", Add-ons gained so far can be still be received even quitting in this way.
Infinite Abyss Advice
Maximize (Add-on gained)/(Time taken) efficiency in Infinite Abyss with these tips.
Add-ons can also be used in Infinite Abyss, but doing so is not recommended.
Time continues to pass normally (but not the timer counter) while in the Buff selection phase, this can be abused to regain dodge meter, regain health if the "Regain x % HP per 1s" Buff is active, spend time waiting for Core Passives to refresh or simply to take a breather temporarily.
Remember to use healers if necessary, or challenge Infinite Abyss at an easier district if the current one is too much trouble, even if there are less rewards.
Chrome: Glory and Lucia: Plume in an Ice Elemental Team is efficient in clearing higher District Infinite Abyss quickly, especially for clearing Bosses in the 5th, 10th, 15th and 20th floor.
Lucia: Dawn in an Electricity Elemental Team can be effective in clearing lower District Infinite Abyss floors, especially for clearing mobs in the 4 floors before the Boss floor. This is due to the Buffs that can be selected for her, which are:
Gain 3 energy with each DMG...
Enter matrix after casting signature move
A huge electric field that pulls enemies...
This allows her to endlessly ping orbs, while pulling in enemies, while always having her ultimate, while always in matrix mode, which can stall enemies from attacking and Bosses from escaping the strike zone of players.
The only few downsides is that:
This becomes less effective in later District Infinite Abyss Stages.
Effects generated from endlessly pinging ultimate and orbs and matrix mode can be taxing on the eyes and the game which can cause certain issues.
Buffs given are random, so the correct Buffs might take time and luck to obtain.
It can be more mentally draining to use this method compared to the Ice Elemental Team strategy.
Into the Deep
Guide for Into the Deep Event
Duration: December 7th 2022 to December 21st 2022.
General
Defeat endless enemies and unlock and upgrade Add-ons (Buffs) to get all the rewards!
There are 12 Normal Mode Stages and 4 Challenge Stages.
Stars can be gained by defeating more than a certain number of enemies in each stage.
The maximum number of Stars that can be gained per stage is 3, and 48 Stars can be gained in total.
There are 2 Event Currencies, "Sound Tuner" (Unlocks new Add-ons) and "Song Fragment" (Activates and upgrade Add-ons).
"Sound Tuners" can only be gained through Normal Mode Rank Rewards and clearing Stages, a maximum of 600 "Sound Tuner" can be gained.
"Song Fragment" will be given daily in accordance with how many Stars players have, this must be collected manually.
It is possible to regain all "Sound Tuner" and "Sound Fragment" spent on gaining and upgrading all Add-Ons by using "Reset All", which will reset everything while returning all resources used. Do note that this will cost 2000 Cogs for every Add-On that has been unlocked.
It is also possible to regain all "Sound Tuner" and "Sound Fragment" spent on one SPECIFIC Add-on by selecting the "Reset" Icon (looks like 2 arrows next to the name) while in the Add-on Effect screen after selecting the Add-on. Do note that this will cost 2000 Cogs as well.
Advice
Remember to collect "Song Fragment" daily after getting as many Stars as possible!
It costs 50, 100, 200, 400 "Song Fragment" to Activate (Level 1), Level up to Level 2, Level up to Level 3 and Level up to Level 4 respectively.
As the number of "Song Fragment" gained daily rises by 10 for every Star gained starting from 200, it is possible to calculate and predict how many Song Fragments is required to upgrade the necessary Add-ons.
Some recommended Add-ons are: Kill Enemies, Recover Orbs, Black Hole Anima, HP Reduction, Mission Extension, Extra Strike.
Chrome: Glory is especially effective at taking out mobs quickly.
