About the game mode

Anomaly Interception is the Interception game mode added as part of the 8/22/2024 update and adds 5 new and difficult bosses as well as their own reward pools, giving the player a choice to what they want to farm every day.

There are some things to be aware about when accessing Anomaly Interception:

• Chapter 21 must be completed
• Anomaly Interception shares entries with Special and EX interception, meaning you can only do 1 per day
• Unlike Solo Raid, players are not synced up to level 400, but are instead capped at level 400 if they are above it

We highly recommend that if you have this game mode unlocked, you do it over Special interception. The reward tier even at stage 1 of Anomaly is better than a fully completed run of Special interception with the ability of choosing the reward you want.

Bosses

There is a heavy importance on using units with elemental advantage against the bosses you are farming. You can check the element they are weak to when selecting the boss in the Anomaly interception menu.

These are the 5 Bosses currently available to challenge in Anomaly Interception:

• Harvester is weak to Water element — Reward (T9 manufacturer Leg equipment)
• Kraken is weak to Wind element — Reward (rocks, aka Custom Modules)
• Indivilia is weak to Fire element — Reward (T9 manufacturer Torso equipment)
• Ultra is weak to Iron element — Reward (T9 manufacturer Head equipment)
• Mirror Container is weak to Electric element — Reward (T9 manufacturer Glove equipment)

The boss will also deal increased damage to the weak element by a whooping 300%, meaning you really need to plan your teams for Anomaly Interception.

• Stage 1 to 3: 300% increased damage towards weak elemental units
• Stage 4 to 6: 400% increased damage towards weak elemental units
• Stage 6 to 9: 500% increased damage towards weak elemental units

As it currently stands, there are currently not enough viable units to make complete mono elemental teams. There are definitely usable alternatives, and we will list them out in each of the individual boss guide.

In terms of overall difficulty, the bosses themselves have slightly different mechanics (closer to the mechanics of the solo raid versions) but not nearly as difficult.

• If you are just unlocking Anomaly interception, just aim for as high as you can and get minimum Stage 1 clear
• If you are within the 230-300 Sync level, a Stage 3 to 5 clear is very do-able and is what you should aim for if you have your units properly built
• If you are above 300+ and or above 400+ you should be able to hit the stage 6 minimum clear and that is the most optimal area to stop as rewards to don’t scale any higher from 7-9
• The only reason to try and fully clear these Anomaly Interceptions is because at stage 9 you will get a custom title per each boss

These are just guest approximates as to where you should be able to clear, this does not take into account overall account progression, how well your units are built or if you even have all the recommended units.
