MISSION: Decision

MISSION: Decision consists of 5 Missions and is a part of the Challenge Quest trio of MISSION: Cataclysm, MISSION: Decision and MISSION: Start.

Mission 1: Tundra

Inside the weapon box can contain:

• Katana - Melee weapon that has a guard and parry action. Parrying with sufficient gear will activate Katana Gear which is a purple aura that grants more damage.
• Knuckles - Melee weapon that is close range and has a brief sway dodge action. Continuously attacking, even without hitting an enemy, such as step attacking, raises Gear gauge which raises damage.
• Rifle - Ranged weapon that does more damage if headshots are done with Z-aim.
• Jet Boots - Melee/Technique hybrid weapon that has access to double jump, deals fast strikes, has a shift action after normal attacks and Jet Boot Photon Arts, and can cancel out of any move at any time with an evasive step.

Inside the disc box can contain:

• Gurren Tessen - Movement skill that does a slash at the direction inputted.
• Quake Howling - Deals damage in a wide area and stuns enemies at the same time
• Piercing Shell - Shot that pierces through enemies best done in Z-aim mode to pierce through as many parts and mobs as possible
• Gran Wave -
• Zonde - Lightning tech that does more damage the higher you are compared to the target, can damage enemies close to the target

Unwanted items should be dropped on the ground for others to pick up and use.

Attack Advance Lv.5 can drop here.

Mission 2: Tunnels

Selecting the reward box will grant 1 weapon and 1 photon art or technique disk.

Clearing the Lillipan Defense etrial will reward a Challenge Doll.

At the Tranmizer section, there are 2 Hit Switches on the platform walls and 1 Step Switch on top. Activating all 3 switches will place a Photon Cannon on the far left side. Going near the Photon Cannon will spawn 2 Gawondas which should be taken care of first as they will destroy the cannon with their attacks.

At the next section, while the mobs are optional, defeating the Barbalillipans have a chance of dropping Photon Art discs.

Mission 3: Skyscape

There are 4 hidden 5% VR energy in 4 locations in a cross formation. Hidden VR energy is not highlighted on the map and does not glow making them look like empty capsules.

• On a raised platform on the left just before the gel wulf quarantine
• On the top of the hill at the first time bomb area
• Shadow of the leftmost magnetic thunder needle (5%) standing at the place where the C-2 clavada appears
• D-3 Quartz Dragon's feet (5%)

Selecting the reward box will grant 2 random skill disks.

In this area Zonde is somewhat effective as it is able to amplify on the magnetic structures in the area.

You can defuse the bombs by following the path from the lit section and moving across every alternate path it comes across (known as Ghost Leg), which is best left to a dedicated role.

In the last area, defeat the Quartz Dragon by focusing on its head and tail.

Mission 4: Tundra

Selecting the reward box will reward 3 stones of any color. These are vital for weaker groups as this can be exchanged for the Brisa unit set in the next interval area which provide high defense.

Caution and avoidance should be applied against Falz Hunar when he does his ultimate move when low on health and creates a lethal shockwave in his vicinity.

Falz Hunar has a chance of dropping Queen Viera which has Ilgrants built in which is fairly powerful, especially against Anga.
