Omega Sentinel Deploying Soon

Add a living Sentinel to your Orchis Raid machine with the arrival of Omega Sentinel on September 23rd at 2:00 PM (PDT). Apply Regeneration to Orchis characters and heal all allies, while also dishing out attacks with this efficient Support.

  • Orb: Living Sentinel Orb
  • Cost: 675 Power Cores for a chance to earn 180 Omega Sentinel shards
  • Offers: Starting the same day, head to the Supplies Store for exclusive offers available for three days.
  • Unlock More with Special Deals: Grab a deal to unlock additional offers that will reveal themselves upon your next login or visit. These limited-time deals offer Gold, Training Modules, and other vital resources to boost your roster.
  • Red Stars: Power up Omega Sentinel even more with Red Stars! Live the same day as its orb, Omega Sentinel will be featured in Red Star Orbs at an increased drop rate.

Orchis Team Showcase

Also going live the same day Omega Sentinel arrives is the Orchis Team Showcase! Don't forget that you'll need Golden Ciphers to launch Chapter 2 missions, so make sure you grab Golden Ciphers from Omega Assault rewards and the Omega Sentinel's Activation Milestone. You don't want to miss out on the Team Showcase rewards, which include a guaranteed 3 Diamonds for Nimrod on Chapter 2 Mission 5 First-Time Rewards. Plus a chance for Silver Diamond Credits and more!

Sentinel Transcendence Orb & Omega Sentinel's Activation

Earn Sentinel Transcendence Orbs from Omega Assault and then open them to rack up Omega Sentinel character shards. Orchis Overload will also be temporarily replacing the daily Save the World Streak Milestone. Each Sentinel Transcendence Orb opened scores points toward the Omega Sentinel's Activation Milestone, where you'll find even more Omega Sentinel shards!

Orchis (Omega) Reward Update

To celebrate the release of the full Orchis team, we are increasing the quantities of Armory 19 Orb Fragments and Crimson Gear Raid Orb Fragments for the Orchis (Omega) again! This update aims to bring up the rewards for Difficulty 3's 40% completion rewards closer to Difficulty 2's 70% completion rewards, as well as make Difficulty 2’s 100% rewards a bigger increase from Difficulty 1’s 100%.

The changes to Armory 19 Orb Fragments are as follows:

Difficulty 1

  • 70%: 2800  3100
  • 100%: 4000  4100

Difficulty 2

  • 40%: 2800  3000
  • 70%: 3900  4000
  • 100%: 5000  5500

Difficulty 3

  • 40%: 3000  3800
  • 70%: 5100  5400

The change will go live on September 23rd at 2:00 PM (PDT).

Weekend Blitz Hunter Update

In our recent Path to Orchis blog, we mentioned that an event called Weekend Blitz Hunters would reward resources that included Ciphers and Thanos (Endgame) shards. We've made some changes to our upcoming event schedule; due to these updates, Weekend Blitz Hunter Events will no longer take place. However, the rewards associated with these events will now be distributed across the Path to Nightstalkers events. Including the Thanos (Endgame) shards previously called out for as rewards in the Weekend Blitz Hunter event series. Stay tuned for more details!

Omega Assault

As if being an inmate on Kyln wasn't tough enough – now Sentinels are attacking the prison!

That's right, Escape from Kyln is back as Omega Assault and just like Escape from Kyln, Omega Assault asks you to battle through floors of enemies in exchange for big rewards. This time the rewards include Ciphers for the Orchis Showcases.

Omega Assault calls upon your entire roster, including some of S.T.R.I.K.E.'s newest teams, so review the below Cell trait requirements to prepare. Here are the rules for Omega Assault:

Escape the Assault

Omega Assault contains 52 total Cells to battle through in order to escape, and the cramped confines of this prison-like tower means you can only battle with 3-character squads based on each Cell's trait requirements. While all players level 60 and up can participate, only Commanders with the strongest rosters will have a good chance of escaping.

Assault Rules

  1. There’s no Cooldown period for characters after a battle.
  2. Health and Abilities persist between battles for players and enemies.
  3. Characters can't be healed between battles.
  4. You'll remain in the same Cell after losing a battle (not drop down).
  5. Restarting a run will drop you down to Floor 1, heal your characters, and reset your score.
  6. Completing a Cell earns a milestone reward.

  • Cells 1-4: No Restriction
  • Cells 5-7: Guardian or Infinity Watch
  • Cells 8-10: Avenger
  • Cells 11-13: Global Skill
