Max FirepowerMax Firepower

A rotation of themed goals: the run deals one of four themes at a time — Darktide stamina, trooper armor, treasure maps, genome awakening — and scores whatever you were doing on that theme anyway. Points open five rounds of chests, and the chests pay tickets into a temporary gacha. That gacha holds four grand prizes with a per-run cap, runs on a soft-pity ladder rather than the flat 1 % it advertises, and unlocks its exchange shop only on day seven.

Gacha calculator

The game prints 1% for the grand prize, but the real mechanic is a guarantee on draw 101, and on average a prize takes 84.8 draws at one “Gacha Ticket” each.

The free tickets cover it: the target is 85 draws, and the theme chests hand over up to 700 “Gacha Ticket”.

Expectations, not a roll. The 700 free tickets are a ceiling: that many only if every round of every theme is cleared.

The gacha

The game prints 1% for the grand prize, but what actually runs is a pity ladder: the early draws sit at 0.1% and draw 101 is a guarantee. On average a grand prize costs 84.8 draws.

Theme shops

Each theme has its own set of purchases — they sell that theme's own fuel, not gacha tickets.

Leaderboards

Two boards on points: one for the whole run and a daily one.
