Tutorial

The following story is played in the middle of the operation.
Characters Dobermann Kroos Popukar
Events
<Game paused>
Popukar	[A tile with greenish layer on it is highlighted] These translucent crystals seem so strange. I'll go take a look!
<Game unpaused>
Dobermann	Hold on—
[Popukar is deployed on the greenish tile.]
<Game paused>
Popukar	Ah!
Dobermann	I told you not to rush in! These are crystals that often appear in the region.
<Game unpaused>
[Popukar attacks the Crystal; notice she is attacking at a slower rate than usual.]
<Game paused>
Popukar	My body feels heavy... my arms don't wanna move either...
Dobermann	[The Crystal Popukar is on is highlighted] It seems like these crystals have yet to be purified, and there's an unusual force field around them. It's slowing down our Allied Operators, and greatly reducing their ASPD. Enemies on crystals will gain increased combat capabilities, so be careful of these crystals!
<Game unpaused>
[Nothing noticeable happens after Popukar attacks the Crystal.]
<Game paused>
Popukar	Is there a way we can destroy these crystals? I can't seem to make a dent...
Dobermann	It's impossible to destroy these tough crystals with just a regular attack. You'll only deal a bit of damage.
Popukar	What should I do?
Dobermann	From personal experience, we need only attack it ten times, and the force field will be weakened, then the crystal shall be purified and destroyed. Kroos will help you out with her fast attack speed!
Kroos	Here I am!
<Game unpaused>
[Kroos is deployed below Popukar and she helps Popukar in attacking the Crystal; notice its color becoming brighter as the Operators attack it. The purified Crystal eventually shatters and vanish after being attacked enough.]
<Game paused>
Popukar	The crystals are gone!
<Game unpaused>
[An Exhibit 237-1 shows up and creates another Crystal upon passing through the tile above the Incursion Point where it spawns.]
<Game paused>
Popukar	Huh? These enemies just created new crystals!
<Game unpaused>
[More Exhibits appear and creates more Crystals upon passing through ground tiles without one before Kroos and Popukar takes them out before attacking the Crystals; notice that the Operators attack the Exhibits over the Crystals. As the first Crystal is purified, it somehow remains, but notice that the second Crystal's color gradually becomes brighter as the first one is attacked.]
<Game paused>
Popukar	[The first, purified Crystal is highlighted] Why wasn't this purified crystal destroyed?
Dobermann	[The position between the first and second Crystals are highlighted] When these crystals are connected, things will be slightly different. Focus on this spot. [The position between the second and third Crystals are highlighted] Here as well. [The Crystals are highlighted] These connected crystals will reinforce each other, and become a bigger crystalized area. We need to purify all crystals in this area, and then they'll all break in one go.
Popukar	Ah, I got it! We just have to treat the whole area as one giant crystal!
Dobermann	Exactly!
Popukar	[The second and third Crystals are highlighted] But now there's a problem... how do we handle those crystals outside of our attack range?
Dobermann	Don't worry! [The Crystals are highlighted] These connected crystals have interlinked internal structures. [The first Crystal is highlighted] Attacking purified tiles will still trigger purifying effects. [The second Crystal is highlighted] These effects will spread to adjacent crystals, although the efficacy will be halved.
Popukar	So we just need to continuously attack a purified crystal, and it'll spread the purifying effect to the adjacent tiles?
Dobermann	You got it.
<Game unpaused>
[The second Crystal becomes purified and the third follows after Kroos and Popukar attacks them for a while, and they all vanish at the same time.]
<Game paused>
Dobermann	Look, they're all gone!
Popukar	Yay!
<Game unpaused>
[More Exhibits join the fray.]
<Game paused>
Dobermann	Stay focused, enemies are headed our way!
<Game unpaused>
[One of the Exhibits head towards Popukar, but most of them heads to an area in the upper part of the map and covers them in Crystals. Additional Exhibits spawn from the upper right Incursion Point and they create Crystals on tiles outside of the Operators' reach, forming two separate clusters of Crystals.]
<Game paused>
Popukar	[The Crystals are highlighted] Oh no, the crystals are too far away from us! What should we do? [A tile between the Crystal clusters is highlighted] There's still a gap over there, I don't think we can reach the crystals with our usual method to destroy all of them at once. [The second cluster is highlighted] We need more people on the other side to purify those crystals!
<Game unpaused>
[Three Pure Crystals are available for deployment.]
<Game paused>
Dobermann	[The Pure Crystal on the deployment list is highlighted] Don't worry, we have these Pure Crystals. [The player is prompted to deploy the Pure Crystal on the tile ahead of Popukar] Just deploy it here. <The player deploys the Pure Crystal as instructed>
[The Pure Crystal is deployed.]
Dobermann	It works like a "bridge", connecting the crystals and allowing the purifying effect to spread further. Enemies will not be strengthened by Pure Crystals.
Popukar	I completely understand how the crystals work now.
Dobermann	Keep your eyes peeled, hold the line and finish this mission!
<Game unpaused>
[Ansel, Beagle, Beehunter, and Manticore are available for deployment as more enemies including Street Bandits show up, who moves faster while over a Crystal. <The player deploys the Operators at their discretion and another Pure Crystal in between the two clusters to link them> The Crystals are purified, giving the Operators an easier time to hold the line.]
