What is Chaos Manifestation?
A Roguelike-style Content

Chaos Manifestation is a roguelike-style content where you progress by choosing routes while engaging in battles and Events. Cards and equipment acquired in Chaos are saved as save data, and this data can be used in other content.
Does Not Consume Aether
Challenges in Chaos do not consume Aether (stamina). You can challenge it repeatedly at any time.
Aether GuideLoot Certification Cards Required for Rewards

You can obtain rewards like training materials by clearing Chaos. To claim these rewards, you'll need a Loot Certification Card, which is issued 4 times a week.
Receive Buffs from Fate
When you challenge Chaos, you can select a Fate at the beginning to receive buffs. Up to 3 types will appear, and the number of Fate types will increase according to the Chaos's Exploration level.
Epiphanies Occur

During Chaos runs, an Epiphany can occur, allowing you to obtain new Cards or upgrade existing ones. The top-left corner of a Card that can have an Epiphany will glow, so be sure to use them proactively.
Card Epiphany GuideObtain Equipment

You can obtain equipment in Chaos. The equipment has passive effects, and these effects are also reflected in your save data.
Beware of Deep Trauma

In Chaos, if your party's HP drops to 0 and they are wiped out, or if you collapse multiple times, your Combatants may fall into a Deep Trauma state. Taking a Combatant with Deep Trauma into Chaos will incur penalties, so be sure to treat them at the Epione Center.
Deep Trauma GuideWhat to Do in Chaos Manifestation
Create a Powerful Save Data

Chaos Manifestation Clearing Tips
Look at the Map First

Chaos is a roguelike-style content that changes shape with each run. When you start a challenge, first check the map and decide on a rough path to follow.
Proactively Aim for Epiphanies

In Chaos, prioritize using cards with a glowing top-left corner, which indicates a potential Epiphany. This will not only give you an advantage in Chaos battles but will also make the resulting save data more powerful.
Card Epiphany GuideConsider Restarting Depending on Epiphanies

If you don't get the Cards you want from Epiphanies early on, or if you have a low Epiphany rate due to bad luck, restarting is a valid option. A single Chaos run can be long, so consider escaping from Chaos instead of forcing your way through with a weak setup.
Collect Equipment

Equipment can be obtained from some Events, purchased at the shop, or as a reward for defeating Elites that appear in purple areas. Acquiring equipment whenever possible will give you an advantage in your run.
Don't Overdo It with Elites

The purple Elite combat areas feature powerful enemies with high stats and special abilities. Avoid recklessly challenging them only to be defeated, and proceed with caution while monitoring your party's condition.
Utilize Rest Areas

You can restore your party's HP and stress in Safety Areas, which are marked by a bonfire icon. Make sure to use them when your HP is low or when your Combatants have accumulated a lot of stress.
Level Up Your Combatants and Partners

If you are struggling to win in Chaos, your units might not be at a high enough level. Farm the Simulations to raise their levels and Potential.
