Overview and downloads

Callouts must not rotate

Default left and right use the rally banner or entrance perspective. Epoptes side rooms use Top, Left, and Right while looking inward. Agraios portals are numbered 1 through 5 clockwise from rally and keep that numbering for the run.

Chronons drive most progress

Cinnabar is red, Antimony is white, and Cobalt is blue. Chronons feed ring, hourglass, and portal mechanics, so color calls should be short and repeated before anyone interacts.

Loadouts are jobs, not prescriptions

Each section names the job first: precise eye damage, mobile add clear, short burst, long-range sustained DPS, or survival. Named weapons can change with artifact counters, surges, and balance updates.

Feats change preparation

Battalions, Phase Race, Token Limit, Cutthroat Combat, and Challenge Mode are preparation categories. The activity launch screen stays authoritative for the active settings.

Encounter playbook

  1. 1Inside players take Temporality together, stay in the light, and call the glowing room-panel eye for the opposite Inside player to shoot.
  2. 2Repeat the cross-calls until the three-eye triangle appears above each room Hydra.
  3. 3Outside players enter the main boss light, call the missing Top/Left/Right position, and shoot the opposite pillar excluding the opposite Outside call.
  4. 4Inside players shoot their same-side triangle call, refresh as needed, then break both center eyes together.
  5. 5During DPS, three selected pairs each destroy six small eyes plus the center eye on their assigned Epoptes shield.
