Team Compositions
Angels of Delusion Training
Physical Burst: Sunna + Ellen Joe + Lycaon
F2P Option: Sunna + Billy Kid + Anby
Anomaly Hybrid: Sunna + Jane Doe + Seth
Bangboo: Biggest Fan (optimal), Officer Cui (Energy Regen), Amillion (CRIT Rate)
A Harmony of Delusions
Standard teams handle all combat. Maintain one fully-invested DPS (level 50+, upgraded W-Engine, optimized Drive Discs). Defensive supports (Soukaku, Rina) reduce retries.
Combat Optimization
Energy Management
Build Energy via Basic Attacks and Dodge Counters during vulnerability windows. Unleash Ultimates when damage multipliers activate. Coordinate Sunna's buffs with main DPS Ultimates.
Perfect Dodge Counters: Grant invincibility frames + Energy generation. Practice timing in standard content before events.
Environmental Interactions
Destructible objects stagger enemies and create damage zones. Prioritize early in encounters for control. Staggered enemies take increased damage.
Exploration: Optional objectives yield 50-100 bonus Polychromes per chapter. Complete main objectives first, return during downtime.
Resource Allocation
Daily Priority Hierarchy
- Wonderful Boo-ns claims (5 min) - Permanent loss risk
- Inter-Knot Membership login (1 min) - Quick Polychrome
- Angels of Delusion Training (30-60 min) - Time-limited, high density
- A Harmony of Delusions (60-90 min) - Flexible scheduling
- Daily commissions (15-20 min) - Consistent source
- Hollow Zero/Shiyu Defense (30-45 min) - Weekly reset
Players with <60 min daily should focus priorities 1-3, completing story content on weekends.
Event Deadlines
- Feb 9: Angels of Delusion Training ends (earliest deadline)
- Feb 17-21: Bangboo Badge Period (highest-value 5 days)
- Feb 23: Wonderful Boo-ns ends
- Mar 4: Phase 1 concludes
Start Angels of Delusion Training immediately at Level 20. Week 1 and Week 2 require separate skill development—simultaneous completion is difficult.
Common Pitfalls
Energy Waste
Don't exhaust Energy on standard farming while neglecting events. Event Polychromes provide greater long-term value than incremental upgrades. Resume farming after time-limited content concludes.
Underestimating Difficulty
Week 2 challenges are significantly harder than Week 1. Players barely completing Week 1 often fail Week 2's threshold, losing 400-500 Polychromes. Practice rhythm mechanics early.
Level agents to recommended Inter-Knot Levels before attempting combat. Attempting content 5+ levels below recommendations causes excessive retries.

Banner Planning
Phase 1 Total: 26,390 Polychromes = 181 pulls (F2P)
Sunna Value: High for Physical DPS owners (Ellen Joe, Soldier 11). Low without Physical damage dealers.
Weapon/Bangboo Banners: Different pity systems than character banners. Prioritize character acquisition unless excess resources available.
Phase 2: Unannounced as of Phase 1 start. Conservative players should reserve resources. Aggressive players can commit to Phase 1, accepting reduced Phase 2 flexibility.
BitTopup provides secure top-up services with competitive pricing, instant delivery, and 24/7 support.
