Holo-Battle Interlink

This week’s Alphas

Each week of the season opens a new trio on three routes, left, middle and right. Each Alpha carries the elements the game recommends against it; each route adds its own environment and interaction effects.

Alpha on the left route

• EnvironmentWater Pressure ImbalanceWhen the Alpha takes Water damage, it gains a small amount of Water Debuff. When the Alpha has more than 10 stacks of Water Debuff, 10 stacks are consumed to enter the Water Pressure Imbalance state for 5s. In this state, triggers 1 instance of Water-type damage equal to 100% of current ATK each time damage is taken. Minimum trigger interval: 5s.
• InteractionChain SnareAt regular intervals, chains link 2 random players on the field. Linked units continuously lose HP. When the chains touch the Alpha, they bind the Alpha for 1s, briefly stopping it and dealing BREAK damage. The chains then break.

Alpha on the middle route

Condition: challenge the Alphas on the left and right one time each

• EnvironmentMulti-CastWhen the Aniimo deals skill damage, it accumulates 1 point of “Casting Energy.” Reaching 12 points of “Casting Energy” makes the next skill cost no energy and skip its cooldown.
• InteractionTrick BombEffect: Every 45s, a bomb seed appears on a random Pathfinder. After 5s, the seed lands and generates a bomb warning. After 2s, the bomb explodes and permanently creates a damage zone on the ground.

How to Play

Introduction

Holo-Battle Interlink is a four-person team challenge designed by the Battle Art Department. Using the data from the most powerful Aniimo ever as a blueprint, the challenge employs holographic simulation technology to create scenarios for trainees. Parties that complete the challenge will receive rewards and be ranked based on their performance rating.

Highest Score and Rewards

The system will record the best and score achieved on each route separately. The corresponding period rewards are unlocked based on the sum of the best across all three routes, and rewards are distributed upon exiting the mode.

Battle Mode

Holo-Battle Interlink always uses Twine mode for combat. You can select 1 Aniimo as your main and 3 Aniimo as support.

When the main Aniimo’s HP drops to 0, it loses combat ability. In non-solo challenges, team revive counts can be consumed to revive it.

Switching to a support Aniimo immediately releases its core skill and quickly switches back to the main Aniimo. Support Aniimo do not have HP.

Team Combat Mode · In Team Combat Mode, only the first Aniimo in your party acts as the main active Aniimo. The other three can only support briefly by using core skills, after which you will automatically switch back to the main active Aniimo. This mode is used for team gameplay, such as Holo-Battle Interlink and Operation: Egg Heist.

Rewards

The star track

Your total is the sum of your best stars on the three routes: up to 15 on the left and right Alphas, up to 30 on the middle one. A tier opens every 4 stars, and everything unlocked is paid when you leave the mode.
