At a Glance
- Mode: Enigma of the Labyrinth (permanent addition arriving with Version 3.1)
- Core Systems: Infrastructure (manufacturing items) and Commissions (repeatable objectives)
- Prizes: Enhancement resources, currency, and special gear
- Requirements: Unlocked via main campaign progression (specific chapter details unconfirmed by official sources)
Infrastructure: Manufacturing Breakdown
The infrastructure mechanic within Enigma of the Labyrinth lets you fabricate tools that assist in navigation and combat encounters. Players must collect materials directly inside the maze and utilize the fabrication console to generate consumables, keys, or temporary enhancements.
Key points:– Fabrication blueprints unlock progressively as you advance through the mode.- Collected assets are limited per expedition, so strategize your creations carefully.- Certain manufactured goods carry over between runs, whereas others are single-use.
Commissions: Repeatable Assignments for Loot
Commissions are recurring daily or weekly tasks operating on a regular refresh cycle. Finishing them yields currency and supplies useful for manufacturing or upgrading your maze equipment loadout.
Commission categories (derived from official previews):– Exploration: Chart a specific quantity of tiles or reach designated waypoints.- Combat: Overcome a set amount of foes or clear a sector without sustaining damage.- Manufacturing: Produce a targeted item at the infrastructure terminal.
Reset schedules: Unspecified in official notices. Consult the in-game interface for precise timers.
Step-by-Step: Getting Started
- Unlock the mode by advancing through the main story campaign (exact chapter details unconfirmed by official sources).
- Enter the labyrinth via the main menu or HDD network.
- Finish the introductory run to get comfortable with basic locomotion and fighting mechanics.
- Visit the infrastructure console post-tutorial to review accessible blueprints.
- Gather ingredients by traversing tiles and vanquishing adversaries.
- Fabricate vital goods first — prioritize recovery consumables and keys for opening shortcuts.
- Inspect the commission board for daily assignments, giving precedence to those with favorable reward-to-effort ratios.
Loadouts & Squad Compositions
Even though Enigma of the Labyrinth features dedicated progression, your core agent roster still plays a massive role. Deploy a well-rounded squad:
- F2P / Budget: Combine your top damage dealers (like Billy or Corin) alongside a support unit (such as Soukaku) and a stun specialist (like Anby).
- Optimal: Utilize a hypercarry such as Ellen Joe or Zhu Yuan backed by specialized support characters and a stunner to maximize total damage output.
Reasoning: The maze throws diverse threat types your way, meaning an effective stunner to break enemy guards alongside a supportive healer greatly improves your survivability.
Materials Table
| Material | Source | Frequency |
|---|---|---|
| Labyrinth Shard | Exploration nodes, enemy drops | Per run |
| Ancient Cog | Commission rewards | Daily |
| Resonant Crystal | Fabrication (consumes Shards) | As required |
Note: Exact drop rates and daily caps remain unconfirmed by official literature.
Troubleshooting
- Trapped on a level? Inspect your map for sealed chests or concealed pathways — some demand keys fabricated at the infrastructure terminal.
- Low on vitality? Synthesize healing supplies prior to clashing with formidable opponents. You can also fall back to a secure zone to recover.
- Mission not showing up? Verify that you have finished the introductory run and advanced sufficiently within the game mode.
