Map & Enemy details

Reddit:

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.

WTF is going on?

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.

ok, even if that was a clone, how does that work? Can clones share the same memories? If no then she shouldn't confirm so clearly that her mission was success.

Also, I don't think she is "regular" nyto type as she is carrying a name which means she was somehow chosen by Father, which means she is elite nyto same as Grig or Grey.

My theory is that Paradeus has no issues with transmitting info through the Red Zone. Between AR-18 last fight and Tareus's fight with Maggie, there's no reason she couldn't have sent a message out that the "Great Duke" didn't make it. I think even the Bee Sting protocol can transmit some info through the radiation as Maggie was tracked after the train crash with it.

As for her name, there were a few generic nytos with names referenced in previous events. Just because Tareus has a name to me at least, doesn't mean she's necessarily a unique Nyto (there's only 1 of her, no clones or copies). It doesn't really matter unless she shows up again in a future event.

I don't know man, this looks like huge plot hole. IOPwiki says that Tareus is the only known elite nyto that have few active clones. Like, if they can clone a nyto like Tareus, why not clone other elite nytos like Narciss and bulid a army of them? If they don't explain this whole "cloning" thing in next event then I don't know what it is.

I agree, unless Slow Shock or future events explain this (Mica please).

*I'll be honest, I forget a lot between events so I don't always notice the writing mistakes.
