Rules

• You may play on an EN, JP, TC or KR account. SC accounts are not allowed.
• If you disconnect or quit the run for any reason, it counts as a loss. The only exception is your one reset (below).

Opener

Pick one:

• Floor 3 Bonus start: take Hot Water Kettle or 2 Hope. You must be on the Floor 3 bonus selection screen when you start your run.
• Class Squad start: start with the promoted operator of your choice on a Class Squad. You cannot have a Floor 3 bonus.

Reset

You may reset once, and only when you can enter the Floor 3 Boss Node (before fighting it). Your run starts over from an opener of your choice, and only the run you finish counts.

To reset, do not stop recording. Exit the run, go to Archives > Training Grounds, then quit the run and prepare your opener.

Recording

• Start on the Arknights home screen to show the server time. It must be within 180 seconds of your scheduled time (organizers have final say).
• Open the IS3 tab and begin your run from your prepared opener.
• When you finish, show your operators, collectibles and the end screen. Click the end screen once to display your score.
• After the score finishes displaying, return to the home screen to verify the run time.
• Record continuously, from start to end, at a watchable quality and frame rate. If the video is too poor, we may be unable to score your run.

Scoring

Scoring only decides the 3 Monthly Headhunting Packs. Clearing the challenge earns the Monthly Card regardless of score.
