there is a LOT of important information here so let's break it down step by step.

Tier Selection

Tiers and Planets

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

The planet determines:

- The Type of Enemy Ships you face

Cost of Entry

Tiers 1 to 4 are free to enter, but they do not grant 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.

Map Reroll

Reroll

Pay 3 Normal Access Keys to reroll the Layout or 400 Normal Access Keys for a lucky reroll with at least 1 Gene Node.

Uncleared Tiers: Cannot be rerolled. You'll see a question mark on the map Layout.

Encounter Details

On the right hand side of the screen, you will see multiple tabs.

Nodes

Displays a table of Base Node rewards and Encounter Rules. Shows which Nodes are possible on the Tier and their base reward. Base rewards increase as you progress through the Encounter Tier.

Each cleared Node increases the difficulty of the next Node by 40% and its reward by 10%.

Note that Gene Nodes always grant 1 Gene, unaffected by reward multipliers.

You must clear the Crown Node to unlock the next Tier.

Enemy Type

Shows the types of enemies you will face based on planet types. Mouse over enemies to see their abilities.

Dominators

Lists all the Dominators available on this Tier. Dominators change with the Tier, not the planet. For more details, check the Dominators link.

Set Up

After selecting your Tier, you must set up your Ship, Trooper, and Gears before starting the Normal Encounter.

You can also set up your default skills by choosing 3 from a selection of 10. For more details, check the Default Skills link.
