The Arbitrator of "the Equilibrium" has approached you, hoping to restore balance to the universe through a game of chess. This will be an unprecedented and difficult challenge...

▌ Availability
After the Version 3.6 update

▌ Participation Requirement
● Equilibrium Level ≥6
● Achieve maximum stars in the highest level for "Forgotten Hall: Memory of Chaos," "Pure Fiction," and "Apocalyptic Shadow" (can be completed in different versions)

▌ Gameplay Rewards
■ Reward Details
● Based on the number of Knight Stages cleared, and star ratings achieved, you can claim the new store currency "Lone Stardust" and Self-Modeling Resin.
● Based on your star rating in the cleared King in Check Stage, you'll receive a corresponding limited-time avatar frame (usable during the current "Anomaly Arbitration" event period), the new Relic item "Interference Key," and Self-Modeling Resin.
● "Lone Stardust" can be exchanged for items in the new Gift of Stardust store. Interference Key can block one stat from being enhanced when rerolling Relics using Variable Dice.

▌ How to Play
● "Anomaly Arbitration" is a series of extremely challenging permanent gameplay modes with periodically updated stage content and rewards.
● Each phase of "Anomaly Arbitration" will update with 3 Knight Stages and 1 King in Check Stage. Under the protection of the Knight Stages, the King's power will be greatly enhanced. It is recommended that Trailblazers complete the challenges of the 3 Knight Stages first before challenging the King in Check Stage.

■ Knight Stage
● The 3 Knight Stages must be challenged with 3 different character teams. You can decide the order of challenges as you wish during the challenge.
● Each Knight Stage will have its star ratings calculated independently upon completion. When clearing the same Knight Stage multiple times, different star ratings earned will not be combined.
● Best Battle Records are calculated based on the highest total star rating active simultaneously across three Knight Stages, and Star Rewards will be awarded accordingly. Resetting challenge progress will not affect your Best Battle Records.

■ King in Check Stage
● Each phase of "Anomaly Arbitration" contains only 1 King in Check Stage, which can be challenged with any character team.
● It is recommended that the Trailblazer complete the challenges of 3 Knight Stages first, cut off the energy transmission from the Knight Stages, and then challenge the King in Check Stage.
● Directly defeating the Plight difficulty King in Check Stage will be considered as 3-star clearing all Knight Stages, and you will receive all rewards from the Knight Stages.

■ Enemy Traits
In Anomaly Arbitration, enemy materializations will have slight differences between them and regular enemies. You can check out the details by reading about their traits when the battle begins.

■ Arbitral Quadrant
● After each Anomaly Arbitration update, several Arbitral Quadrant buffs will be updated in the King in Check Stage Challenge.
● Before challenging the boss, you can pick one of the buffs for your team.

■ Cycles
● In "Anomaly Arbitration," each combat in every stage has its own cycle limit. Exceeding this limit during the challenge will be considered as a failed attempt.
● Complete the stage within the designated combat Cycles and meet specific conditions to earn stage stars.
● In "Anomaly Arbitration" combat, the total action value will greatly increase during the first cycle, and the Cycle countdown will not reset when switching between phases.
● When few Cycles remain, additional combat buffs will be provided to allies at the start of each Cycle.

■ Retrying Challenges
● After completing each Knight Stage challenge, the team composition will be recorded. You can use this set team to retry the stage later. Repeated challenges follow these rules:
● Team members are fixed, with Paths, Levels, Traces, and Eidolon states based on their latest status when repeating the challenge;
● When replacing a team member's Light Cone or Relic with Light Cones or Relics recorded from other teams' clearance, the challenge progress of Knight Stages where the Light Cone or Relic exists in the clearance record will be reset.
● When replacing a team member's Light Cone or Relic with those of other team members, or with Light Cones or Relics that don't exist in any clear records, you can directly challenge Knight Stages. In this case, after successfully clearing the stage, you can choose whether to replace the old battle records and team composition with the new ones.

■ Change Lineup
● In Knight Stages, you can reorganize your team lineup, switch characters, Light Cones, and Relics in your team to retry the Knight Stage challenge. The challenge progress will be reset.
● Characters, Light Cones, and Relics in unchallenged teams can be freely changed, but they cannot overlap with teams that have already cleared. Otherwise, the challenge progress of the cleared teams will be reset.
● After resetting the Challenge progress, the team composition records for the corresponding Knight Stage will be cleared, and your score for that stage will become invalid.

■ Battle Records
● In Battle Records, challenge records from the last three phases of "Anomaly Arbitration" will be displayed.
● This interface displays information such as earned medal styles and star ratings achieved in King in Check stages. You can click on corresponding records to view detailed battle record information.
