Tiers

There are unlimited tiers. You must defeat the "Crown" (Boss) Node to unlock the next Tier.

- Training Tiers (1–4): These are free to enter. They are used for learning the game and do not reward Reputation or Credits. Map rerolling is unavailable for these Tiers.

- Standard Tiers (5+): These require Energy to enter. Energy costs and rewards increase every 4 Tiers, for example:

• Tiers 5 to 8 share the same cost and rewards

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

- Cleared Tiers can be rerolled; Uncleared Tiers cannot.

Reward Scaling

Rewards scale based on the base Energy cost before any discounts. This affects Credits, Gears, OLT 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 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 completing an encounter):

• Cannot roll Gene nodes or OLT nodes

• Always generates a 3 × 3 layout

• Has a lower chance to roll Credit nodes

- Minimum rerolled map size: 3 × 3

- Maximum rerolled map size: 6 x 5

Cleared vs Uncleared Tiers

- Cleared Tier: Crown node defeated; can reroll map.

- Uncleared Tier: Crown node not yet defeated.

• No Credit nodes

• Fixed map layout (cannot be rerolled)

• Discount Access Key cannot be used
