During the Aetherium Wars event, you'll have to go through several areas called Victory Zones. These areas will contain Aether Spirits for you to capture and also several NPCs for you to defeat. Challengers and Championship Contenders will reward you with an Expansion Chip once you defeat them in battle!
Expansion Chips like the Efficiency Optimization can only be obtained inside the Precious Chests that can be found in Victory Zones. So make sure to open those chests when you see them!
Several Expansion Chips such as the Moral Activation Chip can only be obtained after participating in certain Hyperlink Matches. Do note that Hyperlink Matches can be challenging so use the best Aether Spirits in the event when attempting those challenges.
Hyperlink and Exhibition Match Guide
Barrie, the Aetherium Wars Player Terminal NPC, will give you an Expansion Chip or an Aether Spirit as a reward whenever you earn a Mastery Mark from a Victory Zone.

Not sure of those 2 yet, the Data Retrieval chip is in Cloudford treasure chest 4. Check the Cloudford victory zone page, it shows how to get it. I’m assuming the other chips may be in chests in other locations?

Okay, Firewall will be the final chip you get in the Great Mine. What makes this guide confusing is that it’s giving you teams equipped with chips that you can’t possibly have yet. 🤦♀️ But the truth is, you don’t need to have those chips to win. Just follow their team recommendations as much as you can. It’s working out fine for me. 👍🏻
