Chaos Manifestation Objectives
Create Powerful Save Data
During Chaos runs, actively acquire Epiphanies and equipment to create powerful Save Data. This saved data can be used in Battle Missions and Simulations, allowing you to progress through the game more efficiently.
How to Use Save DataIncrease Exploration Level
By encountering monsters and Unidentified Areas in Chaos, your Chaos Exploration level will increase. Each time your Exploration level goes up, you'll receive rewards like Crystals and Rescue Anchors, and new Common Cards, equipment, and fates will also be unlocked within Chaos.
Blue Pot Exploration Lv. 15
When you reach Blue Pot Exploration Lv. 15, equipment called the Obsidian Sword will be unlocked. This equipment has the powerful effect of increasing damage dealt by 12%, so we recommend prioritizing unlocking it.
Chaos Manifestation System
A Roguelike-style Content
Chaos Manifestation is roguelike-style content where you progress by choosing routes while engaging in battles and Events. Cards and equipment obtained in Chaos can be retained as Save Data, and this Save Data can be used in other content.
Challenges Don't Consume Aether
Challenges in Chaos do not consume Aether (stamina). You can attempt it repeatedly at any time.
Aether GuideA Loot Certification Card or Aether is required to get rewards
In Chaos, you can obtain rewards such as training materials upon clearing. To obtain these materials, you need either a Loot Certification Card, issued 4 times a week, or 60 Aether.
You Can Receive Buffs From Fate
When you challenge Chaos, you can first choose a fate to receive a buff. Up to three types of fates can appear, and the variety of fates increases with your Chaos Exploration Level.
Leaving Chaos Restricts Fate to One
If you escaped from the previous Chaos run, the number of fates you can choose from at the start will be limited to only one as a penalty. If you want to start your run with an advantageous buff, escape from a Waypoint area.
Epiphany Occurs
Inside Chaos, Epiphanies can occur, leading to the acquisition of new Cards or Upgrades to existing ones. Since Cards that will have an Epiphany will glow in the top left corner, be sure to use them actively.
| Note! | If the top right of the deck is glowing, you can select it to check for Epiphany cards that are not in your hand. |
Unused Epiphany Still Activates
Even if the battle ends before you use a Card that has an Epiphany, the Epiphany can still trigger on the results screen.
You Can Get Equipment
You can sometimes obtain equipment inside Chaos. Equipment has passive effects, and these effects are also reflected in your Save Data.
Equipment Exclusive to Each Chaos
There are multiple pieces of equipment unique to specific Chaos instances. Choose the Chaos that drops the equipment you want and clear it.
Deep Trauma Occurs
If your party's HP drops to 0 and you're wiped out, or if you have repeated Mental Breakdowns in Chaos, a Combatant may fall into a Deep Trauma state. Taking a Combatant with Deep Trauma into Chaos will put you at a disadvantage, so be sure to treat them at the Epione Center.
Deep Trauma GuideChaos Manifestation Nightmare Mode
Challenge Mode During Deep Trauma
Nightmare Mode is a high-difficulty mode that you can challenge while in the "Deep Trauma" state, which applies penalties such as debuffs. Clearing it is more difficult than normal, but the rewards are also greater.
Can Be Selected From the Top Right
If at least one character in your party is in a Deep Trauma state, you can switch to Nightmare Mode from the top-right corner of the sortie screen.
High-Value Save Data Can Be Created
The difficulty is increased by penalties, but you can create Save Data with better performance than in normal mode. When aiming to create more powerful data, clearing Nightmare Mode is necessary.
