团队任务

Squad 任务 are an online gameplay Mechanic in 异度神剑X. They are one of the two components of BLADE 任务. By completing them, players can earn Credits, Experience Points, Reward Tickets, and Battle Points.

During normal gameplay, a BLADE Mission may be randomly assigned to the player's Squad. A 团队任务 panel appears in the lower right of the screen, and the player can decide whether or not to participate in the BLADE Mission. For each 团队任务 completed by the Squad, one or two Squad 任务 become available at the Network 中央控制台 in the BLADE HOME. Additional 任务 may be unlocked by completing optional objectives during certain Squad 任务.

Except for in 讨伐无首, 四天王！, and 觉醒, 敌人 fought in Squad 任务 are not given individual names to distinguish them from their subcategory.

Accepting a 团队任务

Selecting a 团队任务 displays an infobox containing the details of the mission, including:

Required Level is the minimum level required to take the mission.
Sync Level is the maximum level allowed. Players who are higher than the Sync Level will have their level temporarily reduced to the Sync Level for the duration of the mission.
Destination is the Region in which the mission will take place.
Whether Dolls are allowed or prohibited.
The Time Limit for the mission.
The Base Rewards and Reward Ticket Share that will be awarded upon completion of the mission.

All Squad 任务 have 埃莉奥诺拉 as 「米娅的秘密」, a maximum party size of 4 members, and a limit of 3 Retries which allow the players to be revived and continue the mission if incapacitated. A 团队任务 remains available at the Network 中央控制台 until someone in the Squad completes it, allowing two or more parties to take the same mission independently.

When accepting a 团队任务, the player may choose to recruit 其它 Squad members for online multiplayer co-op, or take the mission with their current party of NPC companions.

Multiplayer

If a player opts to recruit 其它 Squad members for the mission, an invitation is sent to all available members of the Squad. Players who receive the invitation may accept it immediately by pressing the (-) button, or join via the Active 任务 menu at the Network 中央控制台.

Players who join the co-op mission are placed together in a shared room, with icons over their heads. The players who were recruited should approach the yellow departure door and press (A), and their icons will blink to indicate that they are ready. The recruiter should wait for all players to be ready, then approach the door and press (A) to begin the mission.

Solo

If a player opts to take the mission with a party of NPCs, the mission can be started by 正在接近 the yellow departure door and pressing (A).

团队任务 Gameplay

Upon starting the 团队任务, the party is transported to the destination. The party's Doll will appear nearby if Doll are allowed on the mission. An invisible 伤害护甲 prevents the players from leaving the area of the mission.

The mission's objectives appear on the right side of the screen. Sometimes the objective is to break a specific appendage of the 敌人; in these cases the 敌人 will respawn if it is killed without breaking the correct appendage. If an objective requires several 敌人 to be killed, any 敌人 that are killed will respawn after a certain amount of time until the objective has been completed.

Some 团队任务 objectives require a Mechanical, Biological, or Archaeological Field Action, such as examining a wrecked Doll. These are always level 1 field actions, which all players start with, ensuring that the objective is always attainable. Objects requiring higher field skill levels are always optional.

敌人

The 敌人 in Squad 任务 have random levels within a small range. Most of them have generic names, such as "奎魔战甲", "拜亚斯 A", "狼蜥 Leader", or "雌性蛮豕". There are just a handful of exceptions:

讨伐无首 features a unique 敌人 known as the 「渴望」双腔龙 at level 17. Much like 「无首皇帝」格拉迪乌斯, its 主色调 head appendage is absent.
未知的出现 features level 14-15 versions of 「白」诡钉战甲 and 「黑」诡钉战甲, whose only 其它 appearance is at level 50 in the 限时任务 谜之双生子.
野武士的挑战书 features the 婆裟罗战甲 at level 37.
四天王！ features four uniquely named 拉斯 at level 38-39.
新型机的性能调査 features the 雷克斯欧战甲 at level 40.
觉醒 features 「幽冥」法纳托施, a level 53-54 噬灭龙 exclusive to this mission and the only 珍稀种 in any 团队任务.

Many players consider the most difficult 团队任务 to be 无征兆的灾厄, which features a generically named 游蛇龙 accompanied by three 飞天电鳗, all at level 57-60, which must be fought on foot.

Optional Objectives

Some squad 任务 have a secret optional objective which, if completed, causes another 团队任务 to become available. The optional objective is not listed on the right side of the screen, but is hinted at by a message in the middle of the screen:

"A suspicious object is in the vicinity" indicates that performing a field action on the right object will unlock another mission. This often requires a field skill level higher than 1.
"A suspicious foe is in the vicinity" indicates that there is an optional 敌人 nearby which can be defeated to unlock another mission.
"Enemy with the required materials has been detected" indicates that breaking a specific appendage of an 敌人 will unlock another mission.

If the optional objective is completed, a message will appear informing the player that another mission is now available to all squad members. The optional objective will not be available if it has already been completed by another team in the squad doing the same mission, as the new mission has already been made available for everyone in the squad.

Rewards

When a party completes a 团队任务, each player in the party receives the Base Rewards as well as items dropped by the 敌人. In addition, each member of the Squad receives the Reward Ticket Share for that mission, regardless of their participation in 团队任务 or 任务.

If all of the 团队任务 and available Squad 任务 are completed within the BLADE Mission's time limit, a "Complete" notice appears on the 团队任务 panel and each member of the Squad receives a bonus of 54-66 Reward Tickets, depending on the BLADE Mission.

If all of the optional objectives and the resulting secondary 任务 are completed within the time limit, the notice will read "Special Complete" and the reward is 150-165 Reward Tickets for each Squad member.

Expiration

All Squad 任务 cease to be available when the BLADE Mission's time limit expires. Any players who have already started a 团队任务 are allowed to continue until they complete or fail the 团队任务. Any players who have accepted but not yet started a 团队任务 are disconnected and not allowed to do the mission.
