Compass system: rainbow quality and kits

Guide to the new compass system

(Simplified guide)

(Set Bonus)

Recently, the game was updated with new difficulty levels “Space-Time”, and compasses of rainbow (colored) quality also appeared. Many beginners do not understand this system - the Military Advisor will explain everything.

  1. Basic introduction
    Added 3 new difficulty levels: 13, 14, 15

Difficulty Requirements Reward

13 Complete the story to 120 + Space-Time 12 Compass rank 11 (min. initial stat 5.4%+)

14 Complete the story to 130 + Space-Time 13 Compass rank 12 (min. initial stat 9%+)

15 Complete the story to 140 + Space-Time 14 Compass rank 13 (min. initial stat 12.6%+)

The initial characteristics alone are significantly superior to the best upgraded rank 10 compasses.

In addition, the new compasses have a rainbow (color) quality.

Rainbow Quality Features

  1. Set effect

When equipped with 6 rank 13 compasses in a set: 15 layers accumulate every 20 seconds. In just ~2 minutes you can max out and get +20% final damage.

The kit also provides a large amount of:

Crit chance
Critical Damage
Elemental Damage
Combat power

  1. Prismatic attributes

Rainbow compasses have prismatic attributes under their additional attributes. Each compass position can provide different attributes - details can be viewed by clicking on the "?" next to prismatic attributes.

Names of compass positions
For convenience, compasses are named by the direction of the arrow:

Position Name1 Upper left
2 Upper right
3 Left
4 Right
5 Lower left
6 Bottom right

  1. Inheritance system
    In the store, you can buy a Compass Converter for 100 coins using Space-Time cooperation coins. Limit - 10 pieces per week, minimum price - just buy.

Inheritance rules
You cannot inherit from a higher rank to a lower one (for example, from 13 to 12 - there is no point)
The positions must match - “Top Left” inherits only from “Top Left”
The gain level should be the same - +20 only inherits from +20
How it works
Click on compass → “Attribute inheritance” → all 4 additional attributes are completely transferred from one compass to another. You cannot select a single attribute - all 4 are transferred at once.

Why is this necessary?
Rainbow compasses are rare drops
Red compasses drop out frequently
Additional attributes for both are exactly the same
Strategy: Got a rainbow compass, but you're not happy with the attributes? Strengthen red compasses to the desired characteristics, then inherit them from the rainbow one.

Now each round of “Space-Time” gives 10,000+ reinforcement materials - there is no shortage, feel free to enhance it.

  1. Selection of kits
    Priority early
    When there are still few rainbow compasses, first of all, collect 6 rainbow compasses, not paying attention to the attributes. Even if there is a compass of a lower rank, a set of 6 rainbow ones is more important than individual compasses of a higher rank.The set's bonuses and additional attributes far exceed the basic characteristics of individual compasses.

When the complete set is assembled, prepare 3 sets

  1. Compasses for the Summit
    You only need to prepare 3 compasses: Upper Left, Left, Lower Left
    Only these 3 positions can give a bonus to movement speed
    Do NOT boost these compasses - you need to keep the Space-Time value as low as possible
    The lower the value, the faster the scale fills, the more time stops you can use
  2. Compasses for PvP (Arena)
    You only need to additionally prepare 2 compasses
    Arena damage bonus for a specific weapon type only appears at 2 specific positions
    For example, the bonus for a heavy machine gun is only on the “Left” and “Right” positions
    Check your weapon type by pressing "?" at prismatic attributes
    If you often change weapons, prepare 2 rainbow compasses for each type
  3. Compasses for PvE (Farm)
    No need for arena or movement speed bonuses - maximize damage
    Rapid fire weapon → stack Combo Strike
    Weapons with cooldown → stack Echo (Response)
    (Combo Strike and Echo only appear on the 3 right compass positions)
    Attribute priority:

Crete Damage > Elemental Damage > Lethal Damage
