Collection Details

A total of 7 cortex entries make reference to Vara.

The following Cortex Entries tell about Vara, her work, achievements, interests, mails and more!

Events

See Cortex Entry: Events for More Details

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.

Rifts

See Cortex Entry: Rifts for More Details

Rifts are spots where Vara's Cataclysm is weakening. Hit them to create a temporary safe zone from the storm.

Sanctuary Ruins (2)

See Cortex Entry: Sanctuary Ruins (2) for More Details

In 468 LV, the Spear, a powerful Dominion Valkyrie leader, tampered with Shaper instruments in the Bastion region—this resulted in the formation of a Cataclysm known as the "Echoes of Reality." As a side-effect of this tampering, the Cataclysm unleashed a wave of energy that caused Shaper instruments throughout the region to activate unpredictably. One such instrument obliterated the ancient ruins of Sanctuary in the Emerald Abyss.

Scoring

See Cortex Entry: Scoring for More Details

You score points by defeating enemies, completing events, and discovering secrets. Gain more by adding a multiplier. Defeating events adds to the group score multiplier. Exposure to the storm's instability gives you a personal x2 multiplier. Combine them for higher scoring. Scores are tallied once the timer runs out, or Vara is defeated. Final scores are converted into minor crystals, which can be used at Herschel's seasonal store. Scores will appear on the leaderboards for other Freelancers to see.

Stability Bar

See Cortex Entry: Stability Bar for More Details

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.

The Spear (1)

See Cortex Entry: The Spear (1) for More Details

“The Spear” is the call sign of Vara Brom, who is believed to be the highest-ranking lancer within the Dominion Valkyries. She is feared throughout the north for leading bold aerial attacks against heavily fortified targets.

The Spear (2)

See Cortex Entry: The Spear (2) for More Details

“As the final enemy wave descended upon the Legion, Magna Stral threw aside her rifle, long since run dry of bullets, and took from the grasp of a fallen urgoth a great spear longer than a man was tall. Armed with the spear, she charged the enemy line. And before her might, urgoth scattered like leaves in a storm.”
