Accessing Encounters

Go to Explore -> Encounters in game.

This opens the Tier Selection screen, where you can:

- Choose your tier and planet

- View Nodes, Enemy Type and Dominators

- Set up your Ship, Trooper, and Gears

Tiers & Planets

- There are unlimited tiers.

- You’ll rotate between four planets: Themis, Cradea, Zolphis, and Floerian.

- The planet determines the types of enemy ships you’ll face.

- The tier determines the difficulty, Energy cost, and reward scaling.

Clearing the Crown Node completes the Encounter and unlocks the next tier.

Cost of Entry

- Tiers 1 to 4: Free to enter, but they do not reward Credits or Reputation

- From Tier 5 onward: Requires Energy to start

- A Discount Access Key grants a 100% Energy discount when used.

- Energy costs increase every 4 tiers:

• Tiers 5 to 8 share the same cost and rewards

• Tiers 9 to 12 share the same, and so on

Reward Scaling

Rewards scale based on the base Energy cost before any discounts. This affects Credits, Gears, eOLT Tokens, Reputation, Prestige and Radioactive Shards.

Each point of Energy spent increases your reward bonus by 10%:

2 Energy gives +10% bonus, 3 Energy gives +20% bonus, 4 Energy gives +30% bonus and so on.

Map Layouts & Rerolling

- Each Tier has its own saved layout.

• Rerolling a Tier saves that layout for that Tier only.

• Switching to another Tier loads a separate layout.

- Standard Reroll: Costs a number of Normal Access Keys equal to the tier’s Energy cost.

- Lucky Reroll: Costs 400 Normal Access Keys and guarantees at least 1 Gene node in the layout.

- Free reroll (after clearing an Encounter):

• Will not roll Gene nodes or eOLT nodes

• Guarantees a 3×3 layout

• Has a lower chance to roll Credit nodes

- Minimum rerolled map size: 3×3

Cleared vs Uncleared Tiers

- Cleared Tier: You’ve already defeated the Crown node.

- Uncleared Tier: Crown node not yet defeated.

• No Credit nodes

• Fixed map layout (cannot be rerolled)

• Discount Access Key cannot be used

• Radiation Nodes inaccessible

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.
