Defeating Vara and ending her Cataclysm will require mastery of several new mechanics.
THE STORM:
The storm is deadly. If you wait too long, it will consume your javelin. Sometimes, that's worth the risk. While you're unstable, you gain a x2 score multiplier.
STABILITY BAR:
Your Stability Bar represents how long you can withstand Vara's Cataclysm. It decreases while you're exposed to the storm. If it runs out, your health and shield quickly drain. Refill the Stability Bar in safe zones and by collecting Notes. Complete events to grow your Stability Bar and withstand the storm for a longer time.
RIFTS:
Rift are spots where Vara's Cataclysm is weakening. Hit them to create a temporary safe zone from the storm.
EVENTS:
Inside the storm, Vara controls the Cataclysm by focusing energy through seven crystals. Over the course of the Cataclysm, events to destroy these crystals become available. Completing the events and smashing the crystals increases your Stability Bar, adds to the timer, and increases your score multiplier.
NOTES:
These fragments of raw Anthem energy can replenish some of your stability. They can be dropped by enemies or discovered while exploring the Cataclysm.
SUPPRESSION FIELD:
These energy barriers allow a javelin to pass through, but will strip away any carried objects, such as echoes and relic fragments. Proceed with caution.
SCORING:
You score points by defeating enemies, completing events, and discovering secrets. Gain more by adding a multiplier. Once Vara is defeated, or the timer runs out, the score is tallied. Successfully taking down Vara doubles your total score. Final scores are converted into minor crystals, which can be used at Herschel'sseasonal store. Scores appear on the leaderboards for other Freelancers to see.
