In each cycle, you can challenge three distinct routes, each featuring unique Alphas and environmental mechanics. Customize your Aniimo lineup and select buff effects prior to battle (selected by the Team Leader in 4-player co-op).
All routes can be replayed freely. The system tracks your highest Star Rank for each route independently, unlocking milestone rewards based on your combined Star total across all three routes. Assisting fellow Pathfinders in improving their Star Ranks also grants Support Rewards. Both Star Rank Rewards and Support Rewards reset weekly.
