War Zone

Overview
War Zone is a game mode that appears twice a week, running from Monday - Wednesday & Thursday - Sunday, 7:00 - 20:00 UTC. It is unlocked by clearing Normal Stage 3-12 of the Main Story and is part of the weekly missions that provide players with 
Black Cards. War Zone also provides the player with a game-mode exclusive currency called 
War Zone Influence, which players can use in the War Shop to obtain rare items such as 
6★ Memory Resonance Material Pick, 
Leap Wafer Chip, and 
Uniframe Single Crystal. Obtaining Black Cards depend entirely on participation while obtaining War Zone Influence depends on scoring and rank.
In each run of War Zone, the player is given 2 unlocks that are refreshed daily. Two zones of the possible five will be available for players, with each zone containing 3 Areas. The first and second Areas have a maximum point score of 10000 and 20000 respectively, and can be autocleared if completed previously. The third Area has no maximum point score, but an in-game time limit of 2 minutes (not including Time Lag Calculation). Players compete to get the highest score possible in the third Area, obtaining rewards based on progress and ranking.
Stage Environment
Each zone in War Zone has their own Stage Environment, increasing damage dealt for a specific damage type. The zones change after each run of War Zone, meaning the player will fight in a total of 4 unique zones in a week, each with their own Stage Environment.
| Stage Environment | Image | Effect |

| Machine Factory |

| Cycle of Fire |

| Laser Alloy |

Full-Realm Support / War Zone Weather
In addition to the Stage Environment, players also have access to one Full-Realm Support (also known as War Zone Weather) per War Zone run. This buff usually caters around one character indicated in the buff's picture, but is applicable to any character that can satisfy the conditions. The first new War Zone after a S-Rank Omniframe release will cater to this new character.
Example Full-Realm Support
| Full-Realm Support | Image | Effect |
|---|---|---|
 Thunderous Lightning |
|
Upon entering the battlefield, the character gains 50% Lightning DMG bonus for 3s and 30% Lightning DMG bonus for 5s after casting Signature Move. |
Stage Affixes
Area 3 also comes with a special Stage Affix, affecting the enemy grouping the player faces against. In one War Zone run, there will always be one of either Crowd/Joint, and one of Duo/Elite, alternating after the next run.
| Stage Affix | Effect |
|---|---|
| Crowd Battle | Refresh 3 or 6 Normal enemies per wave |
| Joint Operation | Refresh multiple Normal and Elite enemies. |
| Duo Challenge | Refresh 2 Elite enemies per wave |
| Elite Challenge | Every wave spawns a single elite enemy. Every fourth wave spawns a Boss enemy. |
Promotion, Defending, and Demotion
During the results phase of War Zone, players will either demote, retain (defend), or promote their rank. The cutoffs for these depend on the initial rank, with the cutoffs being more strict towards the higher ranks. Each rank and their cutoffs have their own rewards, rewarding those who score high in War Zone with more War Zone Influence currency and limited cosmetics such as 
Proof of a Hero and 
Legend Badge. Cosmetics obtained last for one week, meaning players must be able to consistently hit that rank once per week to keep it.

For those looking to complete these weekly mission as soon as possible, or for those who missed the first set of War Zone, the following strategy can be utilized.
- Make sure the first War Zone Area (Area 1) or second War Zone Area (Area 2) is uncleared.
- Form a party with just your single weakest character.
- Start the battle and let the enemies defeat you. DO NOT defeat ANY enemies! Defeating enemies earns the user a score, but as this strategy will only work if the user does not earn a score, it is necessary that the user ensures that all of them remain alive.
- Repeat for as many times needed
Each attempt counts as 1 clear for the weekly missions, allowing players to quickly obtain the Black Cards allocated for this week. Do note that there are two missions related to score, although the low threshold means playing the last area for one War Zone run is usually enough to clear these.
Mission Rewards
In addition to the Result Cutoff Rewards and Weekly Missions, there are also Mission Rewards, providing the player with a small stash of materials and currency based on score milestones and participation. These rewards reset per run of War Zone and vary based on rank, providing more currency in the higher ranks. These rewards are separate from the weekly War Zone missions which reward Black Cards on participation. This means that all players that participate will be given Black Cards regardless of score! Do note that the amount of War Zone Influence is based on ranking, which can be used respectively to upgrade Omniframes to SS and acquire Memory Resonance USBs and Leap/Uniframe materials.
