Overview

An Era is a period of time in which released characters and events are themed around a specific story being told. Eras last exactly 12 weeks. Each Era is broken up into 3 Episodes, each lasting exactly 4 weeks, or 28 days.

An Episode’s content arc is thematic to the specific unit or units acquired during the Episode. There will always be a new Marquee unit released to start each Episode, with most Episodes containing a second Marquee released midway through the Episode.

At the end of each Era will be a new Event or Journey-Guide-level unit to pursue using all of the units acquired through the Era. Over the course of a calendar year, there will be 12 Episodes contained within 4 Eras, plus an additional 13th Episode each year during our normal time off in the Holiday season. Holiday Episodes are an exception regarding Marquee releases, as they will not contain new Marquee characters.

Conquest characters will continue to be released at their current cadence, but are not tied to an Era.

Cadence of Era Battles

Each Era Battle initially runs twice per week in the off-week that follows each new marquee release, and repeats over a two Episode-cycle. Each event runs for 24 hours and includes a 24 hour break between the two events each week. It then reduces to a single event per off-week for the next two Episode-cycle and runs in parallel to a newer Era Battle that starts with the initial cadence. After this, the event will return as a one-off.

Episodes

Episode Track

Each Episode has an Episode Track where players can earn Episode Points from completing Daily Quests, exclusive Episode Quests and Character Quests, as well as feats in Galactic Challenges. The Episode Track that runs for 28 days and then resets. Players can purchase an Episode Pass that lasts for the duration of the Episode and unlocks premium rewards for players to earn.

Episode Shipment

The Episode Shipment tab will allow players to choose the rewards to spend their Episode Currency on throughout the Episode, as you earn that currency on the Episode Track. At release, Episode Shipments will refresh once per week, on Tuesdays. Episode Shipments contain Omicrons, inexpensive Mods and discounted character shards.

Episode Quests

Episode Quests are a source of Episode Points (EP). There are 28 Episode Quests in each Episode, one of which is revealed to players each day. These 28 quests are divided into 4 “Chapters” with 7 Episode Quests per Chapter. Completing 7 Episode Quests in a Chapter lets you claim a larger Chapter reward.

For those who purchase the Episode Pass, there are additional quests in each Chapter that can be completed to help progress along the Episode Track even faster. These quests also count towards the Chapter reward.

Character Quests

Character Quests support each new Marquees that get released during an Episode and rewards players who participate in both the unlock and advancement of the new Marquee character in the 2 weeks after the Marquee’s release. Like Episode Quests, there are 28 Character Quests, divided into 4 parts of 7 quests each, completing all 7 quests in one part grants a larger reward. Unlike Episode Quests, all 28 of these quests are revealed and available immediately when a Marquee is released.

Character Quests are intended to be simple to complete, and are focused around using the new character in battle. Claiming these quests requires the player to own a specific number of shards of the associated Marquee Character. Shards that have already been used to promote a character count towards these requirements.

Completing Character Quests also earns Episode Points to progress along the Episode Track.
