Normal Encounters

Encounters

Encounters are real-time combat based instances.

Entering a Normal Encounter

Click on Combat -> Encounters tab

Encounter Rules

Ships (either virtual or NFTs) and Troopers are required to enter a Normal Encounter. You can only equip Tactician Gears, Power Gears, and Limited Gears before you enter an encounter. Once you've entered an encounter, you can no longer change your Gears

The amount of Gears you can equip is decided by your Gear Score Limit.

Normal Encounter will end when you clear the Crown Node or when you're defeated by an enemy. You will still keep all rewards you have won up until this point should you have been defeated.

Clear the Crown node to unlock next tier.

Tiers

Tiers are also known as Levels. There are unlimited tiers. First 4 tiers of Normal Encounters are free of charge, but they do not give you any Credits or Reputation.

After the fourth tier, you'll need Normal Access Keys or a Discount Access Key, along with Energy, to start an encounter.

Higher Tiers require more Normal Access Keys and Energy to enter.

Cleared and Uncleared Tiers

Cleared Tiers

"Cleared Tiers" means you have successfully defeated the Crown Node at this tier before.

Uncleared Tiers

"Uncleared Tiers" means you have not yet defeated the Crown Node at this tier.

Uncleared Tiers don't have Credits Nodes.

Uncleared Tiers cannot be rerolled and have fixed Map Layouts for all players.

Each Uncleared Tier has 4 random Encounter Mods, regardless of its tier.

Discount Access Keys cannot be used to enter Uncleared Tiers.

Radiation Nodes cannot be entered on Uncleared Tiers.

Rerolling

Only Cleared Tiers can be rerolled. Players can reroll an encounter's Map Layouts and mods before starting a Normal Encounter.

Cost of reroll: 2 x Normal Access Key

Map Layouts

Maximum Map Size: 6 x 5

Map width and height are rolled seperately with the following odds:

Nodes

What are Nodes?

Each encounter consists of a varying number of nodes. Nodes represent the paths through the encounter, and each node may offer a random node reward.

No single encounter will remain the same forever. Each level will be different from every other level, as rewards and the node path are all randomly generated for every new instance.

Type of Nodes

Different Nodes have different icons indicating their reward type. Reward scales according to the eFGL Token entry fee, higher paid fees increases your overall reward. There are a total of 6 different type of nodes in a normal encounter:
Credits nodes
Virtual Mechas nodes
Ocuriums nodes
Gears nodes
Crown nodes

Node Reward Multiplier

Every time you clear a node, the next node's difficulty (Enemy's Damage, Armor and Shield) will increase by roughly 25% and rewards during that encounter will increase by 10%.

Credit Cap

Credit Cap scales according to the encounter tier, with higher tiers having higher cap limits. The cap starts at 1:15 million at Tier 5 and increases by 0.1 million per tier.

If you run an encounter and obtain credit higher than this cap, then the extra credits are "burned", you do not receive them.

Radiation Nodes

Radiation Nodes are blocked on default. Players cannot travel through a blocked path.

Only Utility Troopers can enter radiation node.

However, you cannot enter a radiation node on an Uncleared Tier.

Encounter Mods

Each Credit Node will grant two mods to your encounter.
