What is Galactic Disaster?

Seasonal Update

Galactic Disaster introduces rotating seasonal content, each with its own storyline and gameplay elements. The Galactic Disaster first season, Forbidden Catalyst, marks the beginning of this cosmic saga.

Season Save Data

Seasonal missions require season-specific save data, which can be obtained through Galactic Disaster: Chaos. A separate icon for this data will appear in the corner.

Can Be Replayed

The season save data will not be deleted even after the season ends. You can continue using it in regular content such as Simulation or Basin of Hyperspace.

First Update Release Date

The first major update is scheduled for release on November 12, 2025. This update will introduce new content, features, and improvements to enhance the overall gameplay experience.

New Content

New Character Yuki

Yuki is a highly versatile 5-star Order Attribute Striker Combatant who excels in area-of-effect attacks and deck control. Most of her cards will feature Inspiration effects.

New Partner Westmacott

Westmacott is a Striker Partner with a passive ability that increases the damage of drawn cards and those with Inspiration effects. She works best when paired with Yuki.

Two Upcoming Combatants

Two new Combatants, Chizuru and Sereniel, will arrive during the mid and late phases of the Galactic Disaster event. Each will bring unique abilities and playstyles to the battlefield, providing players with fresh strategies and options for team composition.

Laboratory 0

The new Chaos Laboratory 0 features a variety of roguelike elements, including new cards, equipment, and seasonal destinies that align with the Forbidden Catalyst season. Players can obtain Forbidden Cards, which are unavailable through normal routes.

Nebula Distortion

Nebula Distortion is a new boss-challenge mode where bosses retain their normal mechanics but with added distortions.

The Great Rift

The Great Rift is a special seasonal challenge mode, designed to test how much damage you can deal to a boss within a limited number of turns. Players form two teams, a Vanguard and a Rearguard, to strategically maximize their damage output while managing the boss’s unique mechanics.
