• Event Name: Combat Simulation Triple Rewards
• Duration: 2026-09-02 04:00 – 2026-09-07 03:59 (server time)

Event Details

During the event, Proxies can enter Combat Simulation, select any enemy card, and successfully complete challenges to obtain triple rewards. That's a straightforward multiplier on the usual drops—no extra steps or special currencies involved.

Each day, five enemy cards will receive buffs. These buffs reset at 04:00 server time daily, so you'll want to check which cards are boosted before spending your battery. The buffed cards change every day, so plan your farming around the rotation if you're targeting specific materials.

How to Prepare

Before the event starts, make sure you've unlocked Combat Simulation. That requires completing Main Story Chapter 1 "Cat's Lost & Found." If you're behind on the story, prioritize that now—the event window is short, and you don't want to miss out on the triple rewards.

Once unlocked, you can enter Combat Simulation from the main menu. No additional quests or prerequisites are needed beyond that.

Farming Strategy

With triple rewards active, every run becomes significantly more efficient. Here's how to maximize your gains:

• Focus on materials you need most: Check your character upgrade plans and target those enemy cards first.
• Use the daily buffs: The five buffed cards each day will make runs faster and easier, so prioritize them when possible.
• Plan your battery usage: If you're low on battery, consider using recharge items during the event to squeeze in extra runs.
• Don't over-farm: Triple rewards are great, but don't burn all your resources on materials you won't need soon. Balance short-term gains with long-term planning.

Daily Buff Rotation

The buffed cards reset at 04:00 server time each day. While the specific cards aren't listed in official materials, you can check in-game to see which five are active. The rotation is random, so there's no way to predict it in advance—just log in daily and adapt.

Troubleshooting

• Can't find Combat Simulation? Make sure you've completed Chapter 1 "Cat's Lost & Found." If you have, try restarting the game to refresh the menu.
• Rewards not tripled? Double-check that you're within the event window and that you've successfully completed the challenge. The triple reward applies to successful completions only.
• Buffs not showing? The buffs reset at 04:00 server time. If you're playing before that, you'll see the previous day's buffs.
