Every week from Thursday 04:00 to Monday 03:59 post-update（UTC+8）.
[Unlock Requirements]
Character reaches Trailblazer I.
[Event Details]
Developed by the Battle Art, Holo-Battle Interlink uses advanced simulation technology to recreate Alpha encounters based on historical data of high-threat Aniimos. Form a 4-player team or match with AI teammates to take on the challenge.
In each cycle, you can challenge three distinct routes, each featuring unique Alphas and environmental mechanics. Customize your Aniimo lineup and select buff effects prior to battle (selected by the Team Leader in 4-player co-op).
All routes can be replayed freely. The system tracks your highest Star Rank for each route independently, unlocking milestone rewards based on your combined Star total across all three routes. Assisting fellow Pathfinders in improving their Star Ranks also grants Support Rewards. Both Star Rank Rewards and Support Rewards reset weekly.
