How to Play Endstate Matrix

Deploy Multiple Teams

Choose Your Team
Endstate Matrix is a game mode that rewards players for having multiple teams in their account. In this gamemode, you must combat multiple bosses in succession while utilizing the different buffs and teams available.

Weapons and Echoes Are Not Shared

No Sharing

When playing Endstate Matrix, weapons and Echo sets are not shared. This means that if you use a set or weapon once, they won't be available for you to use on other Resonators.

Use Demo Resonators When Possible

Demo Resonators
To efficiently succeed in Endstate Matrix, the game introduces Demo Resonators for you to use with your team. These Resonators are built versions of your existing characters with a different set of Echoes and weapons.

If you have a lacking roster of weapons, the best option is for you to use a Demo Resonator of your team. They will have their optimal weapons equipped, so you don't need to have them!

Choose Buffs using Power Circuits

Enhancement Choice
After selecting your team, the next step is to select among the buffs available for each cycle. Teams benefit from certain Power Circuit Enhancements better, so make sure you choose the correct one!

Endstate Matrix Stage Guides

Defeat Enemies Based on Their Infection

Enemy Bosses
For each cycle of Endstate Matrix, various bosses will have different Viral Infections available to them. Ensure you fight against these bosses with the Resonators that allow you to maximize these Infection debuffs.

Take note that the HP bars of bosses carry over to the next team. There is no limit to the number of teams you can use in Singularity Expansion, so keep building teams by pulling for characters!

All Current and Next Banners (Gacha)

Bosses Are Stronger in Succeeding Rounds

Round 2 Bosses
In Singularity Expansion, completing a round of bosses lets you fight them again in succeeding rounds. Starting Round 2, these bosses gain additional Infections and have their stats become a lot stronger.

Aim for Around 5,000 Points Per Team

Team Points
To get the maximum amount of Astrites via rewards, you must try to at least get 5,000 points per team. It is recommended to try and use teams that are going to benefit from the current Version Power Circuit buffs in this game mode.

To increase the amount of points per team, aside from defeating enemies, taking damage is also accounted for. Avoid getting hit by bosses to get as much points as possible!

Manage Your Character's Vigor

Vigor Available
Whenever a Resonator participates in any battle, they lose 1 Vigor. By default, all Resonators have only 1 Vigor and cannot be used in succeeding teams. However, the game gives 2 Vigor to healer characters, letting you be a bit more flexible when it comes to building teams.

Complete Challenge Tasks for Points

Doomsday Phases
The introduction of the Challenge Cycle format provides a new gameplay loop for players in Endstate Matrix. Complete Challenge Tasks available per Version to gain Encrypted Data points. You can then use this new currency to unlock special rewards.

The demo characters are a joke. Somehow, they fucked up Verina's build.
