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 can be saved as save data, and this save 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.
Loot Certification Card Required to Get Rewards

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

Inside Chaos, 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 GuideYou Can Obtain Equipment

You can obtain equipment in Chaos. The equipment has passive effects, and these effects are also reflected in your save data.
How to Use Save DataDeep Trauma Can Occur

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 cause disadvantages, so be sure to treat them at the Epione Center.
Deep Trauma GuideWhat to Do in Chaos Manifestation
Create a Powerful Save Data

When tackling Chaos, aim to create a powerful save data by proactively obtaining Epiphanies and equipment. This saved data can be used in Combat MIssions and Simulations, allowing you to progress through the game more efficiently.
Increase Your 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 get rewards like Crystals and Rescue Anchors, and new Cards, equipment, and destiny that appear in Chaos will also be unlocked.
Chaos Manifestation Tips for Clearing
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, proactively use the glowing cards in the top-left corner that can trigger an Epiphany. This will not only give you an advantage in Chaos battles but will also make the resulting save data more powerful.
Consider Restarting Depending on Epiphanies

If you don't get the Cards you want from Epiphanies early on, or if the rate of Epiphanies is simply low 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.
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. Proactively acquiring equipment will give you an advantage in your run.
Don't Overdo It with Elites

In the purple Elite combat areas, you'll encounter powerful enemies with high Status and special abilities. There's no point in recklessly challenging them only to be defeated, so proceed with caution and keep an eye on your party's condition.
Utilize Rest Areas

In Safety Areas, marked by a bonfire icon, you can restore your party's HP and stress. 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 find yourself unable to win in Chaos at all, it might be because your units aren't leveled up enough. Farm the Simulations to raise their levels and Potential as much as possible.
