Check the Encounter Buff calculation here. As you increase your Empire Level by gaining [[Reputation]], progressing through higher [[Normal Encounters]] Tiers, and exploring [[The Abyss]], grants increased buffs. These buffs increase your [[Gear Score Limit]], allowing you to equip more and better Gears, while also providing extra [[Armor]], [[Shield]], and All Damage bonuses in Normal Encounters. Balancing these factors will help your progression through the Tiers.
 
===Tiers and Planets===
In the center of the screen, you can see your current tier and planet. You'll rotate through four planets: Themis, Cradea, Zolphis, and Floerian. The planet determines:
 
- The [[Type of Enemy Ships]] you face
- Which [[Fragments]] drop from the [[Dominators]]
 
===Cost of Entry===
Tiers 1 to 4 are free to enter. From Tier 5 onwards requires [[Credits]] or [[eFGL]] tokens and [[Normal Access Keys]]. [[Unclear Tiers]] charge Credits; [[Cleared Tiers]] charge eFGL tokens.
 


You can also see the encounter buff calculation here.  As you progress to higher tiers of [[Normal Encounters]], delve deeper into [[The Abyss]], and increase your empire level by gaining [[Reputation]] you will get an increased buff allowing you to:  bring more + higher powered gears, have bonus armor+shields, and bonus damage.  Having a balanced approach of increasing all three together will make it easier to progress through the normal encounter tiers.

Overview

Normal Encounters are the heart and soul of Outlaw Troopers! By mastering the normal encounter you will:
- Earn Credits, Ocuriums, Gears, and Virtual Mechas
- Gain Reputation increasing your seasonal Leaderboard rank
- Complete A.R.C_Initiator_Quests giving you even more loot
- Fight Dominators
- Find Fragments

Click Combat Related -> Encounters. You are now at the Tier Selection screen, there is a LOT of important information here so let's break it down one at a time.

Tier Selection

Encounter Buff

Check the Encounter Buff calculation here. As you increase your Empire Level by gaining Reputation, progressing through higher Normal Encounters Tiers, and exploring The Abyss, grants increased buffs. These buffs increase your Gear Score Limit, allowing you to equip more and better Gears, while also providing extra Armor, Shield, and All Damage bonuses in Normal Encounters. Balancing these factors will help your progression through the Tiers.

Tiers and Planets

In the center of the screen, you can see your current tier and planet. You'll rotate through four planets: Themis, Cradea, Zolphis, and Floerian. The planet determines:

- The Type of Enemy Ships you face - Which Fragments drop from the Dominators

Cost of Entry

Tiers 1 to 4 are free to enter. From Tier 5 onwards requires Credits or eFGL tokens and Normal Access Keys. Unclear Tiers charge Credits; Cleared Tiers charge eFGL tokens.


Nodes


On the right hand side of the screen you will see multiple tabs, jam packed with information. The important takeaways from the Nodes tab are:
- Displays which nodes are possible on the level, as well as the "base" reward for each node. You will see as you play how these increase as you play through the encounter. Note you have to clear the "crown" node for the next tier to become available.
- Displays the rules of the encounter. Especially note that each node you clear will cause the next nodes difficulty by 25% and the reward by 10%.

Enemy Type


The "Enemy Type" tab shows you what kind of enemies you will face. These are determined by planet types. Mouse over the various enemies to see what their abilities are. Depending what kind of gear build you pick to use in the future, you might find certain planets easier than others!

Dominators


The "Dominators" tab gives a handy reference to all the Dominators that can show up on this Tier. These are NOT planet dependent, instead they change depending on what tier you are on. Good luck these guys are tough :)

Trovers


The "Trovers" tab gives a handy reference to all the Trovers. Starting at tier 5 you will have a chance to spawn one. On this tab you will see all the possible rewards for defeating a Trover. Good luck!
