Flash Shards

100 SP
Waves: 6 waves, 30 min each
Per Wave: 4 Targets/Faction + 13 Shards
Jump Interval: ~10 min

Your job: Build and maintain L4+ links to guide shards toward your faction's Target Portals. Destroy enemy links to block their shards.

Wave Lifecycle

Each 30-minute wave follows the same pattern. 6 waves total from 14:00 to 17:00.

+0 +2 +10 +20 +30 +31 Manifest 4 Targets + 13 Shards Jump 1 Jump 2 Jump 3 De-manifest
Shards and Targets only spawn on Anomaly Zone portals, but shards can travel to any portal.
Final wave at ~16:32. Last shard movement at ~17:00.

Movement Rules

L4 L4
L4+ Links Only Both portals must be Level 4 or higher
Every ~10 Minutes Max 3 jumps per wave before de-manifest
?
Random Path If multiple links exist, shard picks one randomly
No Backtracking Won't return to a portal visited in the last 150 minutes
Locks on Target Shards stop and lock when they reach a Target Portal
Stuck? Teleport If unmoved for 150 min, may randomly teleport nearby

Shard Jump Scoring

Each shard jump can award up to 3 types of points. These examples cover all possible outcomes.

A B
+1 to link owning faction
= 1 pt
Not a Target Portal · no distance bonus
≤ 499.5m, or > 499.5m but outside Anomaly Zone
A B > 499.5m
+1 to link owning faction
+1 to link owning faction (distance bonus)
= 2 pts
Not a Target Portal · with distance bonus
> 499.5m and lands on Anomaly Zone portal
A Target
+1 to link owning faction
+6 to target artifact faction
= 7 pts
Target Portal (< 4 shards) · no distance bonus
≤ 499.5m, or > 499.5m but outside Anomaly Zone
A Target > 499.5m
+1 to link owning faction
+1 to link owning faction (distance bonus)
+6 to target artifact faction
= 8 pts
Target Portal (< 4 shards) · with distance bonus
> 499.5m
The 6 pts go to the faction whose target artifact it is — regardless of who controls the portal! After 4 shards land on a target, additional shards score 0 target pts.

Season Points calculated from each faction's best single wave score, distributed proportionally.

Anomaly Bounty

40 SP
Time: 14:00 – 17:10
Tasks: 5 Bounties, not restartable

Your job: Complete all 5 bounties from the Dispatch campaign before 17:10.

1 Deploy a Resonator 3,000 tokens
2 Destroy 30 Resonators 500 tokens
3 Destroy 60 Resonators 300 tokens
4 Earn 30 Anomaly Unique Hacks 500 tokens
5 Earn 60 Anomaly Unique Hacks 300 tokens
+ Complete all 5 bounties 400 tokens

40 SP distributed on average bounties per agent. A cut of 3.5 is applied — factions averaging 3.5 or fewer get 0 for comparison. Campaign expires at 17:10!

Anomaly Uniques

40 SP
Time: 14:00 – 17:00
Trimming: Top 10% + Bottom 10% excluded

Your job: Hack as many different Anomaly Zone portals as possible. Keep moving and hack everything you pass, especially to catch hidden Recursive State bonuses.

Recursive State Bonus

What:

Some portals enter a hidden "Recursive State" for an entire wave. No visual indicator!

Bonus:

One-time +10 to +50 Unique Hack increments per portal per Recursive instance.

Strategy:

Hack everything — you can't tell which portals are Recursive.

40 SP distributed pro rata based on trimmed average Unique Hacks per agent.

!

Portal Immunity Instability

Be aware: Only flip portals when instructed by your Team Lead.

Effect: ADA Refactor and Jarvis Virus immunity timers are unstable.
Duration: 1 hour before the first global site starts until 1 hour after the last site ends.
Range: 5 to 55 minutes, changes globally every ~30 minutes.
Risk: You will not know the current timer. Failed flips still consume the virus.

Scoring Calculation

All main components use proportional scoring. Each faction's final Season Points are calculated from their share of the total raw score.

Proportional Formula
ENL SP = ENL Score ENL + RES x Total SP
