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.<br />
*Cannot roll [[Gene]] nodes or [[eOLT]] nodes


==Tier Selection==
*Always generates a 3 × 3 layout
<html><img height=285 src='https://outlawtroopers.one/images/tierselection.png?'/> </html><html><img height=285 src='https://outlawtroopers.one/images/tier5.png?'/></html> <html><img height=285 src='https://outlawtroopers.one/images/tier5FGL.png?'/></html>


===Encounter Buff===
*Has a lower chance to roll [[Credit]] nodes
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===
- Minimum rerolled map size: 3 × 3
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
- Maximum rerolled map size: 6 x 5
- Which [[Fragments]] drop from the [[Dominators]]


===Cost of Entry===
==Cleared vs Uncleared Tiers==
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.


- Cleared Tier: Crown node defeated; can reroll map.


- Uncleared Tier: Crown node not yet defeated.


<h2>Nodes</h2>
*No [[Credit]] nodes
<html><img src='https://cdn.cosmicclash.io/troopers/wiki/NormalNodes.jpg'/></html><br />
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:<br />
- 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.<br />
- 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%.<br />


<h2>Enemy Type</h2>
*Fixed map layout (cannot be rerolled)
<html><img src='https://cdn.cosmicclash.io/troopers/wiki/NormalEnemyType1.jpg'/></html><br />
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!<br />


<h2>Dominators</h2>
*[[Discount Access Key]] cannot be used
<html><img src='https://cdn.cosmicclash.io/troopers/wiki/NormalDominators1.jpg'/></html><br />
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 :)<br /><br>


<h2>Trovers</h2>
*[[Radiation Nodes]] inaccessible
<html><img src='https://cdn.cosmicclash.io/troopers/wiki/NormalTrovers1.jpg'/></html><br />
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!<br />
