If you are stuck, copy a cleared campaign formation with Clear Info, switch to story mode when you want easier chapter rewards, and spend Core Dust boxes only as needed to keep pushing. For raid, interception, overclock, and the minimum firing rounds setting, always do the highest content you can unlock now, even if the clear is low.
Use Clear Info to copy a campaign clear formation
The Stage Clear Info window displays clear records with Copy Formation buttons and formation lists. — Master Sparks
steps
- Open the campaign stage you are stuck on and tap Clear Info.
- Browse clear records across recommended, friends, union, recent clears, and all-time tabs.
- Sort the list to show lower power clears; these are more practical to copy.
- Use the Copy Formation button to transfer the chosen squad onto your own team.
- Adjust for any missing units and pay attention to unit placement—order can matter for performance.
Story mode still pays out for campaign rewards
The chapter list is open with the difficulty selector visible at the bottom, showing Story, Normal, and Hard. — Master Sparks
When to use story mode for campaign progression
Choose story mode if you want campaign clear rewards or chapter rewards without having to defeat all random encounters and full-power enemies. Story mode has dramatically reduced enemy power and skips minor fights, making it much easier to clear and still counts for campaign progression objectives. Use normal mode if you are aiming for hard mode unlocks or want the full challenge and reward set; hard mode only unlocks after the corresponding normal stage is cleared.
Open Core Dust boxes only when you need the next push
The inventory screen shows a Core Dust Case popup over several item boxes. — Master Sparks
Make the most of the Synchro Device
Synchro Device levels increase your account power and are central to pushing campaign progression. The biggest power spikes occur at every 20-level milestone, often tied to Recycling Room upgrades and major CP gains. If leveling seems to deliver only incremental boosts, you likely have not reached the next breakpoint. Target your Core Dust usage to coincide with these level ranges for maximum impact when stuck.
Do anomaly interception instead of regular interception as soon as you unlock it
The interception menu shows both Interception and Anomaly Interception, with Anomaly Interception selected. — Master Sparks
Choosing interception content
Once anomaly interception is unlocked, prioritize it even if your clear tier is low. Its rewards outperform those of a full clear in the previous interception types. Select the boss based on your strongest elemental team or your gear needs (such as helmets or custom modules), and always run the highest tier you are able to clear for the best daily rewards.
Use solo raid ranking as a starting point, not a script
comparison
Copy Raid Teams
- Use raid rankings to quickly copy teams from other successful players.
- Provides a fast starting point for all five raid squads.
Manual Adjustments
- Copied teams may not perform identically if your units are less invested.
- Adjust after copying to suit your roster and challenge mode needs.
Set overclock simulation room to the highest ratio you can manage
A BIOS Setting menu is open with Core Ratio highlighted and a Begin Simulation button below. — Master Sparks
steps
- Go to the Simulation Room and open the BIOS Setting for overclock.
- Select modifiers that raise your ratio—aim for core ratio 25 for max rewards.
- Clear at the highest ratio you can manage; lower ratios still yield useful rewards.
- Overclock resets monthly, so clear when available and do not ignore the rewards.
- Use the regular simulation room for additional progression if overclock is unavailable or too difficult.
Turn on minimum firing rounds adjustment
The Battle settings menu shows Min Firing Rounds Adjustment turned on. — Master Sparks
Also worth knowing
- Anomaly interception rewards: Even at low clear tiers, anomaly interception rewards outperform the older interception type and should be prioritized.
- Overclock simulation leeway: Overclock simulation room does not penalize you for having low power compared to recommended, so attempt higher ratios more aggressively than you might expect.
FAQ
How do I use Clear Info to copy a campaign clear formation?
Open the campaign stage, tap Clear Info, sort by lowest power clears, and press Copy Formation to transfer a working squad setup; adjust for missing units and placement.
Should I use story mode to progress campaign rewards?
Story mode is worth using when you want easier clears for campaign rewards, as it skips minor encounters and counts for progression and rewards.
When should I open core dust boxes while pushing stages?
Open Core Dust boxes only as needed to break your current stage wall, saving the rest for future pushes and benefiting from higher Outpost Defense levels.
Is anomaly interception better than regular interception even at low clears?
Yes, once anomaly interception is unlocked, its rewards are better than the earlier version even with low clears, so run anomaly interception daily.
What ratio should I aim for in overclock simulation room?
Aim for the highest ratio you can clear, with ratio 25 as the optimal reward point; even lower ratios are worthwhile and overclock resets monthly.
Does minimum firing rounds adjustment really increase damage?
Turning on minimum firing rounds adjustment in the settings significantly increases damage, especially for players on mobile or weaker hardware.
