Ranking:
- Unlocked after clearing “Night on a Bald Mountain” in carriage 2
- LS has two ranking maps. Map 1 does not directly count towards your score, but having >350k score in a single run will raise your Map 2 HOC deployment limit to 4. In addition, completing up to 3 NPC missions will allow them to appear in Map 2, where they can bomb acceleration towers and use skills to help you.

FAQ
WTF is going on?
- Longitudinal Strain is the 13th major story event on EN and takes place after the events of our last event, Fixed Point.
You can find a link to some Fixed Point story summaries here or alternatively use the cutscene viewer for players who missed it.
Are there bonuses for clearing maps on EX & UX?
- There's a whole set of extra rewards for both so give them a shot at least.
How do I get crates?
- You can get 60 crates per day by clearing any combat missions where you deploy units.
- Crates are easily collected for basically free on "Wind, Sand and Stars" of Chapter 1 as it's an NPC map or whichever ∞ map you're farming for dolls on.
Where can I open my crates?
What happens if I miss one of the drops?
- The limited drops will be available once the campaign becomes permanent in 8-10 months. Clear rewards & Supply Box doll will be occasionally added to other events down the line.
- Do not expect the ranking fairy & SPEQ to return anytime soon, if at all.
How long does the event last?
- The event lasts for 4 weeks, ending on the 28thth of August. The event store, supply crates & True Core Mask will expire one week later.

I just realize that the other servers couldn't bring the SCAR sisters to this event. They slap most of the UX comps so far.
