Problem definition

A break in the growth cycle linking campaign progress, outpost production, Core Dust and shared levels.

View all bottlenecks

Design direction

Layer campaign progress, production state, resource needs, shared levels and the next battle, preserving combat, production, growth and recruitment values.

Read the recurring-flow summary

Build a five-Nikke squad → aim, cover, reload, and trigger Burst chains in Campaign and combat modes → gain rewards and raise Outpost Defense → accumulate idle growth resources → level, skill, equip, and synchronize Nikkes → recruit or refine the roster and enter the next battle.

Selected designs and judgment conditions

Selected principles and the game-local design5 design records

These entries describe the selected design. Design selection is distinct from actual application and effect validation. The classified objects below retain their own roles and connections.

Goals and residual processing

Initial IFR · goal direction

Realign state, sequence, exposure, reward and operating conditions to recover trust, volition and value.

Final IFR · design goal

Connect existing Outpost, Core Dust, shared-level and retry or return states and routes through a continuity layer after Campaign failure.

Build a five-Nikke squad → aim, cover, reload, and trigger Burst chains in Campaign and combat modes → gain rewards and raise Outpost Defense → accumulate idle growth resources → level, skill, equip, and synchronize Nikkes → recruit or refine the roster and enter the next battle.

Events, operating schedules, and live operations reactivate participation, exchange, and reward states.
